From 071595ebdc66d70219e2d1ce746016f64b2b19e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:20:33 +0200 Subject: firewire: ohci: use memory barriers to order descriptor updates When we append to a DMA program, we need to ensure that the order in which initialization of the new descriptors and update of the branch_address of the old tail descriptor, as seen by the PCI device, happen as intended.
