Subject: [net-next 07/12] bna: CQ Read Fix
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 17:07:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387328862-27213-8-git-send-email-rmody@brocade.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387328862-27213-1-git-send-email-rmody@brocade.com>
Valid bit check for completion needs read fence, so that it does not get
reordered with other loads.
