Subject: [PATCH 4.19 02/17] ibmvnic: Ensure that CRQ entry read are correctly ordered
Date: Fri,  5 Feb 2021 15:07:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210205140649.916232560@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210205140649.825180779@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Lijun Pan <ljp@linux.ibm.com>

commit e41aec79e62fa50f940cf222d1e9577f14e149dc upstream.

Ensure that received Command-Response Queue (CRQ) entries are
properly read in order by the driver. dma_rmb barrier has
been added before accessing the CRQ descriptor to ensure
the entire descriptor is read before processing.
