[PATCH for-rc 1/2] RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix the handling of control path response data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Flag that indicate control path command completion should be cleared
only after copying the command response data. As soon as the is_in_used
flag is clear, the waiting thread can proceed with wrong response
data.  This wrong data is causing multiple issues like wrong lkey
used in data traffic and wrong AH Id etc.

Use a memory barrier to ensure that the response data
is copied and visible to the process waiting on a different
cpu core before clearing the is_in_used flag.

Clear the is_in_used after copying the command response.
