mips_swiotlb_ops differs from the generic swiotlb_dma_ops only in that
it contains a mb() barrier after each operations that maps or syncs
dma memory to the device.
The dma operations are defined to not be memory barriers, but instead
the write* operations to kick the DMA off are supposed to contain them.
For mips this handled by war_io_reorder_wmb(), which evaluates to the
stronger wmb() instead of the pure compiler barrier barrier() for
just those platforms that use swiotlb, so I think we are covered
properly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
