From 841df922417eb82c835e93d4b93eb6a68c99d599 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2018 10:53:37 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vhost: make sure used idx is seen before log in vhost_add_used_n() We miss a write barrier that guarantees used idx is updated and seen before log. This will let userspace sync and copy used ring before used idx is update. Fix this by adding a barrier before log_write().
