Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] ionic: add missing dma_rmb() after the completion publish check
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:50:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811195039.1315045-2-eric.joyner@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811195039.1315045-1-eric.joyner@amd.com>

Each completion service routine tests a device-written publish flag and
then reads the rest of the descriptor with nothing ordering those loads.
A control dependency does not order loads, so a weakly ordered CPU may
satisfy the payload reads from a cache line state observed before the
flag became valid. Add the barrier to all four completion paths.

Fixes: 1d062b7b6f64 ("ionic: Add basic adminq support")
Fixes: 0f3154e6bcb3 ("ionic: Add Tx and Rx handling")
Fixes: 77ceb68e29cc ("ionic: Add notifyq support")
