r8169: Use dma_rmb() and dma_wmb() for DescOwn checks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The r8169 use a pair of wmb() calls when setting up the descriptor rings.
The first is to synchronize the descriptor data with the descriptor status,
and the second is to synchronize the descriptor status with the use of the
MMIO doorbell to notify the device that descriptors are ready.  This can
come at a heavy price on some systems, and is not really necessary on
systems such as x86 as a simple barrier() would suffice to order store/store
accesses.  As such we can replace the first memory barrier with
dma_wmb() to reduce the cost for these accesses.

In addition the r8169 uses a rmb() to prevent compiler optimization in the
cleanup paths, however by moving the barrier down a few lines and replacing
it with a dma_rmb() we should be able to use it to guarantee
descriptor accesses do not occur until the device has updated the DescOwn
bit from its end.

One last change I made is to move the update of cur_tx in the xmit path to
after the wmb.  This way we can guarantee the device and all CPUs should
see the DescOwn update before they see the cur_tx value update.
