[Qemu-devel] [PULL 3/5] ehci: fix fetch qtd race

[Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>]

The token field contains the (guest-filled) state of the qtd, which
indicates whenever the other fields are valid or not.  So make sure
we read the token first, otherwise we may end up with an stale next
pointer:

  (1) ehci reads next
  (2) guest writes next
  (3) guest writes token
  (4) ehci reads token
  (5) ehci operates with stale next.

Typical effect is that qemu doesn't notice that the guest appends new
qtds to the end of the queue.  Looks like the usb device stopped
responding.  Linux can recover from that, but leaves a message in the
kernel log that it did reset the usb device in question.
