[MIPS] RTLX: Harden against compiler reordering and optimization.

2007-03-17T01:03:27+00:00

RTLX communication is based on lock-free shared memory buffers.  It
happened to be working by luck so far but relies on the optimizer doing
certain optimizations but no reordering.

Fixed by inserting proper barriers in rtlx_read and rtlx_write, and careful
pointer dereferencing.

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2

2007-02-12T17:48:44+00:00

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
