Subject: [PATCH v2 18/21] scsi/qla1280: Remove stale comment about mmiowb()
Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2019 14:59:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190405135936.7266-19-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190405135936.7266-1-will.deacon@arm.com>
All mmiowb() invocations have been removed, so there's no need to keep
banging on about it.

* Update request index to mailbox4 (Request Queue In).

- * CPUA posts write of index 5 to mailbox4
- * CPUA releases host lock
- * CPUB acquires host lock
- * CPUB posts write of index 6 to mailbox4
- * On PCI bus, order reverses and write of 6 posts, then index 5,
- * causing chip to issue full queue of stale commands
- * The mmiowb() prevents future writes from crossing the barrier.
- * See Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst for more information.
