Q: Do we have really have write buffer A: Yes, on newer Loongson processors there is a "store fill buffer" that will collect *cached* writes, on all Loongson processors AXI crossbar will buffer all writes. Q: Then why do we want to remove CPU_HAS_WB? A: Because CPU_HAS_WB introduces wbflush, which intends to flush all write reuqests to mmio device. We won't be affected by store fill buffer because it won't buffer uncached writes. And a regular memory barrier is sufficient to flush crossbar write buffer.

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.
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.
