That's what it's there for: > > #ifdef CONFIG_ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE > #define __iowmb() wmb() > #endif > #define writel_relaxed(v,c) ((void)__raw_writel((__force u32) \ > cpu_to_le32(v),__mem_pci(c))) > #define writel(v,c) ({ __iowmb(); writel_relaxed(v,c); }) Why does writel always call wmb? ioremap memory needs mb too? Isn't it supposed to be when there's prior touch of dma memory?
