From 3b885ac1dc35b87a39ee176a6c7e2af9c789d8b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John David Anglin Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2018 16:31:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Remove unnecessary barriers from spinlock.h MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue unnecessary barriers. The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers.  The __ldcw() define is both a hardware and compiler barrier.  The mb() barriers in the routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose. The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock().  We need to ensure all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.
