[dpdk-stable] patch 'kni: fix kernel FIFO synchronization' has been queued to LTS release 16.11.9

[Luca Boccassi <bluca@debian.org>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 16.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 10/31/18. 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. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] kni: fix kernel FIFO synchronization

[ upstream commit 711859cd0d076c7abc0c96ce637129a03280645f ]

Adding memory barrier to make sure the values being synced
before updating fifo_write in kni_fifo_put and fifo_read in
kni_fifo_get.

Fixes: 3fc5ca2f6352 ("kni: initial import")
