From a6b25da5e7ba212af5826a662e6a035a79bffabd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niklas Cassel Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 22:47:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: ensure that the device has released ownership before reading data According to Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, we need to use a dma_rmb() after reading the status/own bit, to ensure that all descriptor fields are read after reading the own bit. This way, we ensure that the DMA engine is done with the DMA descriptor before we read the other descriptor fields, e.g. reading the tx hardware timestamp (if PTP is enabled).
