Subject: [PATCH RFC 14/18] staging: vchiq_util: get rid of unneeded memory barriers
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 15:48:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181026134813.7775-15-nsaenzjulienne@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181026134813.7775-1-nsaenzjulienne@suse.de>

All the memory operations featured in this file modify/access memory
that is only accessed by the CPU. So we can assume that all the memory
barrier handling done by the completion routines is good enough for us.
