...ion. smp_xxx barriers are removed as they are defined correctly by asm-generic/barriers.h Note: as __smp_XX macros should not depend on CONFIG_SMP, they can not use the existing fence() macro since that is defined differently between SMP and !SMP. For this reason, this patch introduces a wrapper metag_fence() that doesn't depend on CONFIG_SMP. fence() is then defined using that, depending on CONFIG_SMP. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Changes since v1: - replaced my asm-generic patch with an equivalent patch already in tip - add wrappers with virt_ prefix for better code annotation, as suggested by David Miller - dropped XXX in patch names as this makes vger choke, Cc all relevant mailing lists on all patches (not personal email, as the list becomes too long then) I parked this in vhost tree for now, but the

This is really trying to cleanup some virt code, as suggested by Peter, who said > You could of course go fix that instead of mutilating things into > sort-of functional state. This work is needed for virtio, so it's probably easiest to merge it through my tree - is this fine by everyone? Arnd, if you agree, could you ack this please? Note to arch maintainers: please don't

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
