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。
