[71/98] r8169: use correct barrier between cacheable and non-cacheable memory
From: Greg KH
Date: Mon May 10 2010 - 19:03:28 EST
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: David Dillow <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4c020a961a812ffae9846b917304cea504c3a733 upstream.
r8169 needs certain writes to be visible to other CPUs or the NIC before
touching the hardware, but was using smp_wmb() which is only required to
order cacheable memory access. Switch to wmb() which is required to
order both cacheable and non-cacheable memory.
Noticed by Catalin Marinas and Paul Mackerras.
