From e44c39bd8478bf9e41cbc611c74b5879a7b29f58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 21:14:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Add memory barrrier to netif_poll_enable() When a driver writer calls this, they generally expect that all previous stores and modifications they've made will be visible before netif_poll_enable() executes, so ensure this.
