Subject: [PATCH 1/3] wifi: ath11k: fix dest ring-buffer corruption
Date: Mon, 26 May 2025 13:48:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250526114803.2122-2-johan+linaro@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250526114803.2122-1-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.
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
Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan+linaro@kernel.org>
