patch 'event/sw: fix ordering corruption with op release' has been queued to stable release 21.11.6

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/08/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/77810d067de53ea224104a76e7a04bce12b0ecf8

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] event/sw: fix ordering corruption with op release

[ upstream commit 5078a8f37d82f3b54cf373389b6754e2bafd584f ]

This commit changes the logic in the scheduler to always
reset reorder-buffer (and QID/FID) entries when writing
them. This avoids stale ROB/QID/FID data re-use, which
previously caused ordering issues.

Before this commit, release events left the history-list
in an inconsistent state, and future events with op type of
forward could be incorrectly reordered.

There was a partial fix previously committed which is now
being resolved for all cases in a more general way, hence
the two fixlines here.

Fixes: 2e516d18dc01 ("event/sw: fix events mis-identified as needing reorder")
Fixes: 617995dfc5b2 ("event/sw: add scheduling logic")
