As an IRQ, the CMD_SYNC interrupt is not particularly useful, not least because we often need to wait for sync completion within someone else's IRQ handler anyway. However, when the SMMU is both coherent and supports MSIs, we can have a lot more fun by not using it as an interrupt at all. Following the example suggested in the architecture and using a write targeting normal memory, we can let callers wait on a status variable outside the lock instead of having to stall the entire queue or even touch MMIO registers. Since multiple sync commands are guaranteed to complete in order, a simple incrementing sequence count is all we need to unambiguously support any realistic number of overlapping waiters.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
