Does this need to be dma_wmb(), and should it be in
mlx4_en_update_rx_prod_db ?

+1 on dma_wmb()

On what architecture bug was observed ?
This issue was observed on x86-64.
And I will send a new patch, in which replace wmb() with dma_wmb(), to customer
to confirm.

+1 on dma_wmb, let us know once customer confirms.
Please place it within mlx4_en_update_rx_prod_db as suggested.
All other calls to mlx4_en_update_rx_prod_db are in control/slow path so I prefer being on the safe side, and care less about bulking the barrier.

Thanks,
Tariq
