From ad435ec689c981a11005d5283cc88588a699537f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 00:56:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: Remove tail write abstraction and add missing barrier This change cleans up the tail writes for the ixgbe descriptor queues. The current implementation had me confused as I wasn't sure if it was still making use of the surprise remove logic or not. It also adds the mmiowb which is needed on ia64, mips, and a couple other architectures in order to synchronize the MMIO writes with the Tx queue _xmit_lock spinlock.
