From 5de6dfc82f715b9fe9cf5c0cccce4384a82279ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 22:49:46 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Fix potential Rx ring corruption When replenishing Rx buffers driver updates the address of the buffer and the index of rx buffer in rx ring to the firmware. Change in order by CPU can cause rx ring corruption. Add memory barrier before updating rx buffer index to guarantee the order. This could fix some instances of rx ring corruption due to done bit in rx attention flag not set.
