Hardware access to PTE/DC is sequential, with implied FENCE R,R barriers. As 'attach' sequence is a rare event anyway, I'll go on "mb" on both sides, as suggested. Unless there are other opinions on that I'll update barriers to match this conclusion and try to capture in long comment for bond / inval / attach synchronization assumptions. Jason, thanks again for pointing this out. > Jason Best, - Tomasz
