Message-ID: <20090324140257.12735.75468.stgit@localhost.localdomain> Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:03:07 +0000 From: Alan Cox <alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-serial@...r.kernel.org, torvalds@...ux-foundation.org Subject: [PATCH 08/30] Use barrier instead of cpu_relax for early blackfin boot From: Graf Yang <graf.yang@...log.com> We are making a SMP like patch to blackfin, cpu_relax() is replaced by a data cache flush function which will count it to a per-cpu counter. If this serial function is called too early, the per-cpu data area have not been initialized, this call will cause crash. So we'd like to use barrier() instead of cpu_relax().
