As part of memory barrier cleanup, this patchset extends checkpatch to make it easier to stop incorrect memory barrier usage. This applies on top of my series arch: barrier cleanup + barriers for virt and will be included in the next version of the series. Changes from v2: catch optional\s* before () in barriers rewrite using qr{} instead of map Michael S. Tsirkin (3): checkpatch.pl: add

...doable. One of the uses for virtio is to allow testing an existing kernel on kvm just by loading a module, and this will break this usecase. > I don't see people going to allow emitting the LOCK prefix (and growing > the kernel text size) for UP kernels. Thinking about this more, maybe __smp_*mb is a better set of names. The nice thing about it is that we can then have generic code that does basically #ifdef CONFIG_SMP #define smp_mb() __smp_mb() #else #define smp_mb() barrier() #endif and reuse this on all architectures. So instead of a maintainance burden, we are actually removin...

Changes since v2: - extended checkpatch tests for barriers, and added patches teaching it to warn about incorrect usage of barriers (__smp_xxx barriers are for use by asm-generic code only), should help prevent misuse by arch code to address comments by Russell King - patched more instances of xen to use virt_ barriers as suggested by Stefano Stabellini - implemented a 2 byte xchg on sh instead of hacking around it as suggested...

...lly is an artifact of interfacing with an SMP host while running an UP kernel, but since we have (at least) two users, it seems to make sense to put these APIs in a central place. In fact, smp_ barriers are stubs on !SMP, so they can be defined as follows: arch/XXX/include/asm/barrier.h: #define __smp_mb() DOSOMETHING include/asm-generic/barrier.h: #ifdef CONFIG_SMP #define smp_mb() __smp_mb() #else #define smp_mb() barrier() #endif This has the benefit of cleaning out a bunch of duplicated ifdefs on a bunch of architectures - this patchset brings about a net reduction in LOC, even with new ba...
