Hi Bob, Why do you want to use FROM_CLIENT and TO_CLIENT suffix? It seems readable to use FROM_USER and TO_USER suffix (i.e. between user space and kernel space). Best Regards, Xiao Yang
The whole purpose of this patch is to extend the memory barriers to support user <-> kernel *and* kernel <-> kernel. Changing the name made it clearer that it's not just user space. It also made it easier to make sure I had gotten all of them changed/looked at. Now that is done, if everyone wants it back to USER I could be talked into it. Bob
