From 1082345290dbc66c19877662cb24c18ee4ae1296 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:02:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sata_sil24: Use memory barriers before issuing commands The data in the cmd_block buffers may reach the main memory after the writel() to the device ports. This patch introduces two calls to wmb() to ensure the relative ordering.
