A single descriptor consists of multiple words. Word1 has the bit that indicates readiness of descriptor for software to use. So word1 should be loaded before other words. On architectures with weaker memory ordering, barrier is needed to ensure the ordering of loads. This patch set fixed the risk on both scalar path and aarch64 vector path. v2: Updated commit message. Performance impact added.
