Resending as the first attempt is not showing up in the list archive. This patch converts several network drivers to use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends. The initial issue was discovered with ixgbe on a Power machine which resulted in skb list corruption due to fetching a stale skb pointer. More details can be found in the ixgbe patch description.
