#1299613 — linux-next: manual merge of the vhost tree with the tip tree

Hi Michael,

Today's linux-next merge of the vhost tree got conflicts in:

  arch/ia64/include/asm/barrier.h
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/barrier.h
  arch/s390/include/asm/barrier.h
  include/asm-generic/barrier.h

between commit:

  d5a73cadf3fd ("lcoking/barriers, arch: Use smp barriers in smp_store_release()")

from the tip tree and commit:

  2683de3a1732 ("ia64: reuse asm-generic/barrier.h")
  d78113bef3e0 ("powerpc: reuse asm-generic/barrier.h")
  25bc870c914b ("s390: reuse asm-generic/barrier.h")
  24888a057e97 ("asm-generic: add __smp_XXX wrappers")

from the vhost tree.

I fixed it up (in each case taking the vhost tree version) and can
carry the fix as necessary (no action is required).

However, given the ongoing review and discussion, I do wonder if these
vhost tree commits should be in linux-next yet.

Thanks for letting me know.

I should probably cherry-pick d5a73cadf3fd - this will
make it appear twice in git history, but seems cleaner
than rebasing all of vhost on top of tip.

Is everyone fine with this?

Alternatively, I could submit the virt barriers + virtio patches for
inclusion in tip.

So far I got comments from David Miller about the API naming, and I'd
like to get more feedback  - at least from Peter Zijlstra who gave me
the idea.  Otherwise this seems rather like a safe bet, and
this kind of integration issue seems like exactly the kind of thing
linux-next helps figure out.
