Merge branch 'dma_rmb_wmb'
Alexander Duyck says:
====================
Replace wmb()/rmb() with dma_wmb()/dma_rmb() where appropriate, round 2
More cleanup of drivers in order to start making use of dma_rmb and dma_wmb
calls. This is another pass of what I would consider to be low hanging
fruit. There may be other opportunities to make use of the barriers in the
Mellanox and Chelsio drivers but I didn't want to risk meddling with code I
was not completely familiar with so I am leaving that for future work.
I have revisited the Mellanox driver changes. This time around I went only
for the sections with a clearly defined pattern. For dma_wmb I used it
between accesses of the descriptor bits followed by owner or size. For
dma_rmb I used it to replace rmb following a read of the ownership bit in
the descriptor.
