  io: change writeX_relaxed() to remove barriers (2018-04-10 16:37:34 +0200)

asm-generic fixes for v4.17-rc1

I have one regression fix for a minor build problem after the architecture
removal series, plus a rework of the barriers in the readl/writel
functions, thanks to work by Sinan Kaya:

This started from a discussion on the linuxpcc and rdma mailing lists
[1]. To summarize, we decided that architectures are responsible to
serialize readl() and writel() accesses on a device MMIO space relative
to DMA performed by that device.

This series provides a pessimistic implementation of that behavior for
asm-generic/io.h, which is in turn used by a number of architectures
(h8300, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, s390, sparc, um, unicore32, and
xtensa). Some of those presumably need no extra barriers, or something
weaker than rmb()/wmb(), and they are advised to override the new default
for better performance.

For inb()/outb(), the same barriers are used, but architectures might
want to add another barrier to outb() here if that can guarantee
non-posted behavior (some architectures can, others cannot do that).

The readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed() family of functions retains the
existing behavior with no extra barriers.

Yeah, no they aren't available there at all.

That tag is some old tag from two years ago that just contains your
ancient "asm-generic: use compat version for preadv2 and pwritev2".

Forgot to push out? Or forgot to use "-f" to overwrite the old tag?

Yes, something like that, I first tagged the local branch in the wrong
tree which had an old branch of the same name, noticed my mistake
as I pushed it, but then screwed up again when I tried to correct it:
I force-pushed the correct branch again, but not the tag.

Pushed the right tag now, please pull from
