Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH: "Here are some driver core fixes for 3.15-rc2. Also in here are some documentation updates, as well as an API removal that had to wait for after -rc1 due to the cleanups coming into you from multiple developer trees (this one and the PPC tree.) All have been in linux next successfully" * tag 'driver-core-3.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: drivers/base/dd.c incorrect pr_debug() parameters Documentation: Update stable address in Chinese and Japanese translations topology: Fix compilation warning when not in SMP Chinese: add translation of io_ordering.txt stable_kernel_rules: spelling/word usage sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner() kernfs: protect lazy kernfs_iattrs allocation with mutex fs: Don't return 0 from get_anon_bdev

+以下为正文
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+在某些平台上,所谓的内存映射I/O是弱顺序。在这些平台上,驱动开发者有责任
+保证I/O内存映射地址的写操作按程序图意的顺序达到设备。通常读取一个“安全”
+设备寄存器或桥寄存器,触发IO芯片清刷未处理的写操作到达设备后才处理读操作,
+而达到保证目的。驱动程序通常在spinlock保护的临界区退出之前使用这种技术。
+这也可以保证后面的写操作只在前面的写操作之后到达设备(这非常类似于内存
+屏障操作,mb(),不过仅适用于I/O)。
+
+假设一个设备驱动程的具体例子:
+
+ ...
+CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU A: val = readl(my_status);
+CPU A: ...
+CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
+CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+ ...
+CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU B: val = readl(my_status);
+CPU B: ...
+CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
+CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+ ...
+
+上述例子中,设备可能会先接收到newval2的值,然后接收到newval的值,问题就
+发生了。不过很容易通过下面方法来修复:
+
+ ...
+CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU A: val = readl(my_status);
+CPU A: ...
+CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
+CPU A: (void)readl(safe_register); /* 配置寄存器?*/
+CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+ ...
+CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU B: val = readl(my_status);
+CPU B: ...
+CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
+CPU B: (void)readl(safe_register); /* 配置寄存器?*/
+CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+
+在解决方案中,读取safe_register寄存器,触发IO芯片清刷未处理的写操作,
+再处理后面的读操作,防止引发数据不一致问题。

向稳定版代码树提交补丁的过程:
- - 在确认了补丁符合以上的规则后,将补丁发送到stable@kernel.org。
+ - 在确认了补丁符合以上的规则后,将补丁发送到stable@vger.kernel.org。
- 如果补丁被接受到队列里,发送者会收到一个ACK回复,如果没有被接受,收
到的是NAK回复。回复需要几天的时间,这取决于开发者的时间安排。
- 被接受的补丁会被加到稳定版本队列里,等待其他开发者的审查。
