Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] wifi: ath12k: fix dest ring-buffer corruption
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2025 10:43:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250617084402.14475-2-johan+linaro@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250617084402.14475-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org>
Add the missing memory barrier to make sure that destination ring
descriptors are read after the head pointers to avoid using stale data
on weakly ordered architectures like aarch64.
The barrier is added to the ath12k_hal_srng_access_begin() helper for
symmetry with follow-on fixes for source ring buffer corruption which
will add barriers to ath12k_hal_srng_access_end().
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
Fixes: d889913205cf ("wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.3
