Mohammad Heib dbaafbef83 net: ionic: add dma_wmb() before ringing TX doorbell
[ Upstream commit d261f5b09c ]

The TX path currently writes descriptors and then immediately writes to
the MMIO doorbell register to notify the NIC.  On weakly ordered
architectures, descriptor writes may still be pending in CPU or DMA
write buffers when the doorbell is issued, leading to the device
fetching stale or incomplete descriptors.

Add a dma_wmb() in ionic_txq_post() to ensure all descriptor writes are
visible to the device before the doorbell MMIO write.

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 reStructuredText 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.
