[PATCH net 1/2] ibmvnic: Ensure that SCRQ entry reads are correctly ordered

From: Thomas Falcon <hidden>
Date: 2020-11-24 17:30:14
Also in: linuxppc-dev
Subsystem: ibm power sriov virtual nic device driver, linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Haren Myneni, Rick Lindsley, Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Ensure that received Subordinate Command-Response Queue (SCRQ)
entries are properly read in order by the driver. These queues
are used in the ibmvnic device to process RX buffer and TX completion
descriptors. dma_rmb barriers have been added after checking for a
pending descriptor to ensure the correct descriptor entry is checked
and after reading the SCRQ descriptor to ensure the entire
descriptor is read before processing.

Fixes: 032c5e828 ("Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocol")
