From ea811b795df24644a8eb760b493c43fba4450677 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian King Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 16:41:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: Prevent load reordering in tx completion processing This patch fixes an issue seen on Power systems with bnx2x which results in the skb is NULL WARN_ON in bnx2x_free_tx_pkt firing due to the skb pointer getting loaded in bnx2x_free_tx_pkt prior to the hw_cons load in bnx2x_tx_int. Adding a read memory barrier resolves the issue. Signed-off-by: Brian King Signed-off-by: David S.
