[PATCH] virtio_ring: switch to dma_XX barriers for rpmsg

virtio is using barriers to order memory accesses, thus
dma_wmb/rmb is a good match.

Build-tested on x86: Before

[mst at tuck linux]$ size drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  11392     820       0   12212    2fb4 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o

After
mst at tuck linux]$ size drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  11284     820       0   12104    2f48 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o

It's good in theory, but could one of RPMSG maintainers please review
and ack this patch? Or even better test it?

All these barriers are useless on Intel anyway ...

This should be okay, but I wonder if there should be a virtio_wmb(...)
or an "if (weak_barriers) wmb()" before the "writel" in
vm_notify
(drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.c).

Thanks,

Paolo

That one uses weak barriers AFAIK.

IIUC you mean rproc_virtio_notify.

I suspect it works because specific kick callbacks have a barrier internally.
