This series resolves a few issues in the ibmvnic driver's RX buffer and TX completion processing. The first patch includes memory barriers to synchronize queue descriptor reads. The second patch fixes a memory leak that could occur if the device returns a TX completion with an error code in the descriptor, in which case the respective socket buffer and other relevant data structures may not be freed or updated properly. v2: Provide more detailed comments explaining specifically what reads are being ordered, suggested by Michael Ellerman Thomas Falcon (2): ibmvnic: Ensure that SCRQ entry reads are correctly ordered ibmvnic: Fix TX completion error handling drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c | 22 +++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
