6.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 396f0165672c6a74d7379027d344b83b5f05948c ]
Add read memory barrier to ensure the order of operations when accessing
control queue descriptors. Specifically, we want to avoid cases where loads
can be reordered:
1. Load #1 is dispatched to read descriptor flags.
2. Load #2 is dispatched to read some other field from the descriptor.
3. Load #2 completes, accessing memory/cache at a point in time when the DD
flag is zero.
4. NIC DMA overwrites the descriptor, now the DD flag is one.
5. Any fields loaded before step 4 are now inconsistent with the actual
descriptor state.
Add read memory barrier between steps 1 and 2, so that load #2 is not
executed until load #1 has completed.
