Ok, so a downstream vendor kernel?

qcs615-ride does not even have PCIe enabled in mainline yet, but I
assume that's what you use here?

Yeah, but you still need memory barriers on the kernel side.

It could be that we are looking at two different causes for those
zero-length descriptors.

The error handling for that obviously needs to be fixed either way, but
I haven't heard anyone hitting the corruption with the memory barriers
in place on the X13s yet (even if we'd need some more time to test
this).
