Subject: [PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath12k: fix dest ring-buffer corruption
Date: Mon, 26 May 2025 13:51:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250526115137.2490-2-johan+linaro@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250526115137.2490-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org>
Add the missing memory barriers to make sure that destination ring
descriptors are read after the head pointers to avoid using stale data
on weakly ordered architectures like aarch64.
Note that this may fix the empty descriptor issue recently worked around
by commit 51ad34a47e9f ("wifi: ath12k: Add drop descriptor handling for
monitor ring").
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
Fixes: d889913205cf ("wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.3
