Jacob Pan 70e66ea0be iommu/vt-d: Handle volatile descriptor status read 
[ Upstream commit b5e86a9554 ]

Queued invalidation wait descriptor status is volatile in that IOMMU
hardware writes the data upon completion.

Use READ_ONCE() to prevent compiler optimizations which ensures memory
reads every time. As a side effect, READ_ONCE() also enforces strict
types and may add an extra instruction. But it should not have negative
performance impact since we use cpu_relax anyway and the extra time(by
adding an instruction) may allow IOMMU HW request cacheline ownership
easier.

e.g. gcc 12.3
BEFORE:
	81 38 ad de 00 00       cmpl   $0x2,(%rax)

AFTER (with READ_ONCE())
    772f:       8b 00                   mov    (%rax),%eax
    7731:       3d ad de 00 00          cmp    $0x2,%eax
                                        //status data is 32 bit

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
