This patch fixes an issue seen on Power systems with ixgbe which results in skb list corruption and an eventual kernel oops. The following is what was observed: CPU 1 CPU2 ============================ ============================ 1: ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring ixgbe_clean_tx_irq 2: first->skb = skb eop_desc = tx_buffer->next_to_watch 3: ixgbe_tx_map read_barrier_depends() 4: wmb check adapter written status bit 5: first->next_to_watch = tx_desc napi_consume_skb(tx_buffer->skb ..); 6: writel(i, tx_ring->tail); The read_barrier_depends is insufficient to ensure that tx_buffer->skb does not get loaded prior to tx_buffer->next_to_watch, which then results in loading a stale skb pointer. This patch replaces the read_barrier_depends with smp_rmb to ensure loads are ordered with respect to the load of tx_buffer->next_to_watch.
