Subject: [PATCH net] pds_core: order completion reads after the ownership check
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:41:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714204145.1782390-1-nikhil.rao@amd.com> (raw)

pdsc_process_adminq() and pdsc_process_notifyq() decide a completion is
valid from its ownership field - the color bit for the adminq, the event
id for the notifyq - then read the rest of the descriptor, with no
barrier in between.

On a weakly ordered architecture the CPU may read the payload first. Add
dma_rmb() between the ownership read and the payload reads.

Fixes: 7e82a8745b95 ("pds_core: Prevent race issues involving the adminq")
Reported-by: sashiko-bot <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260629200358.2626129-1-nikhil.rao%40amd.com?part=2
