From 730501f25a42c88487458b0c08253734fd6ac6b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian King Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 11:05:48 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] fm10k: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends commit 7b8edcc685b5e2c3c37aa13dc50a88e84a5bfef8 upstream. The original issue being fixed in this patch was seen with the ixgbe driver, but the same issue exists with fm10k as well, as the code is very similar. read_barrier_depends is not sufficient to ensure loads following it are not speculatively loaded out of order by the CPU, which can result in stale data being loaded, causing potential system crashes.
