Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] wifi: ath11k: fix dest ring-buffer corruption when ring is full
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2025 16:34:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250604143457.26032-6-johan+linaro@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250604143457.26032-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org>
Add the missing memory barriers to make sure that destination ring
descriptors are read before updating the tail pointer (and passing
ownership to the device) to avoid memory corruption on weakly ordered
architectures like aarch64 when the ring is full.
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.6
