Fix a misplaced barrier in call_decode. The struct rpc_rqst is modified as follows by xprt_complete_rqst: req->rq_private_buf.len = copied; /* Ensure all writes are done before we update */ /* req->rq_reply_bytes_recvd */ smp_wmb(); req->rq_reply_bytes_recvd = copied; And currently read as follows by call_decode: smp_rmb(); // misplaced if (!req->rq_reply_bytes_recvd) goto out; req->rq_rcv_buf.len = req->rq_private_buf.len; This patch places the smp_rmb after the if to ensure that rq_reply_bytes_recvd and rq_private_buf.len are read in order.
