From 7d590cca7cd2cce4ed7c47d221d6f90566653ba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:30:03 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86, idle: Add memory barriers around clflush in mwait_play_dead() For consistency with mwait_idle_with_hints(). Not sure they help, but they really won't hurt... Signed-off-by: H.
