Subject: [PATCH] net/gve: add IO memory barriers before reading descriptors
Date: Thu,  3 Oct 2024 18:05:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241004010535.239103-1-joshwash@google.com> (raw)

Without memory barriers, there is no guarantee that the CPU will
actually wait until after the descriptor has been fully written before
loading descriptor data. In this case, it is possible that stale data is
read and acted on by the driver when processing TX or RX completions.

This change adds read memory barriers just after the generation bit is
read in both the RX and the TX path to ensure that the NIC has properly
passed ownership to the driver before descriptor data is read in full.

Note that memory barriers should not be needed after writing the RX
buffer queue/TX descriptor queue tails because rte_write32 includes an
implicit write memory barrier.

Fixes: 4022f9999f56 ("net/gve: support basic Tx data path for DQO")
Fixes: 45da16b5b181 ("net/gve: support basic Rx data path for DQO")
