Subject: [PATCH] Add missing memory barriers to clean_rx_irq functions in Intel Drivers
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:34:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100727223452.GM17248@us.ibm.com> (raw)
This patch is similar to what was fixed in ixgbe in this patch:
http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=126593062701537&w=3
We should add read memory barriers to all the similar cases across the
Intel ethernet driver family. In the case of ixgbevf I've also added
a missing barrier to the clean_tx_irq path because I missed it in my
last patch.
Without the barrier a processor can speculate a load ahead of the load
which looks at the status bit and get stale information causing a
number of different issues including invalid packet length, NULL
pointers, or bad data since checksumming was assumed to be done
in hardware.
