[PATCH v3 net-next 7/7] qed: Fix possible race when reading firmware return code.

From: Manish Chopra <hidden>
Date: 2016-10-14 10:04:55
Subsystem: networking drivers, qlogic ql4xxx ethernet driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Manish Chopra <redacted>

While handling SPQ ramrod completion, there is a possible race
where driver might not read updated fw return code based on
ramrod completion done. This patch ensures that fw return code
is written first and then completion done flag is updated
using appropriate memory barriers.
