Subject: [PATCH] ibmvscsi: add write memory barrier to CRQ processing
Date: Wed,  7 Dec 2016 17:31:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481153486-5185-1-git-send-email-tyreld@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

The first byte of each CRQ entry is used to indicate whether an entry is
a valid response or free for the VIOS to use. After processing a
response the driver sets the valid byte to zero to indicate the entry is
now free to be reused. Add a memory barrier after this write to ensure
no other stores are reordered when updating the valid byte.
