This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
net: qlge: Eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archsto the 4.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: net-qlge-eliminate-duplicate-barriers-on-weakly-ordered-archs.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.16 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
I don't think these should be pulled at this moment. There is still more barrier work to be done and the patch below goes in the wrong direction after discussion with Linus.
I'm waiting for all architectures to reach to functional parity at the end of 4.17 to pick up from where I left.
There are still few architectures still violating writel() guarantee.
Fair enough, thanks for the information, I'll drop this now.
