Subject[PATCH 3.12 060/170] ibmvscsi: Add memory barriers for send / receive
Date
From: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 7114aae02742d6b5c5a0d39a41deb61d415d3717 upstream.

Add a memory barrier prior to sending a new command to the VIOS
to ensure the VIOS does not receive stale data in the command buffer.
Also add a memory barrier when processing the CRQ for completed commands.
