REO2SW ring descriptor is currently allocated in cacheable memory.
While reaping reo ring entries on second trial after updating head
pointer, first entry is not invalidated before accessing it.
This results in host reaping and using cached descriptor which is
already overwritten in memory by DMA device (HW).
Since the contents of descriptor(buffer id, peer info and other information
bits) are outdated host throws errors like below while parsing corresponding
MSDU's and drops them.
[347712.048904] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: msdu_done bit in attention is not set
[349173.355503] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: frame rx with invalid buf_id 962
Move the try_again: label above ath11k_hal_srng_access_begin()
so that first entry will be invalidated and prefetched.
