[PATCH net 1/4] vhost: make sure used idx is seen before log in vhost_add_used_n()

From: Jason Wang <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-10 09:44:51
Subsystem: the rest, virtio host (vhost) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

We miss a write barrier that guarantees used idx is updated and seen
before log. This will let userspace sync and copy used ring before
used idx is update. Fix this by adding a barrier before log_write().

Fixes: 8dd014adfea6f ("vhost-net: mergeable buffers support")
