I don't think so (with the exception of megasas_fire_cmd_skinny - I missed this one). When two threads try to use a fire_cmd there is no protection of certain ordering, that had to be done in a caller of fire_cmd (for example in megasas_build_and_issue_cmd_fusion) and it seems to me that there is nothing like that. Likely is, that this - a strict ordering of commands - is not needed. The protection which I'm adding is needed when a command consist of a sequence of more than one write, see memory-barriers.txt. (It looks to me that megasas_fire_cmd_ -xscale -ppc -skiny -gen2 do not need the hba_lock unless there is another i/o sequence protected with the same lock (note also that there is no such lock in megasas_fire_cmd_fusion).) I'll add the mmiowb to megasas_fire_cmd_skinny and send a new patch - agreed? --tms > >> -- >> 2.4.3 > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Agree, we don't need hba lock in older fire_cmd wrapper. We updated fusion code because it was active shipment and product life cycle was active for fusion adapter, so code changes was tested by Avago. We did not clean code in MFI based controller since it is only in critical support cycle. > > > I'll add the mmiowb to megasas_fire_cmd_skinny and send a new patch - > agreed? Got your word. You are right. Yes additional changes in megasas_fire_cmd_skinny along with current patch will be good to go. > > --tms > > > > >> -- > >> 2.4.3 > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in > > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
