[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lib: change rte_ring dequeue to guarantee ordering before tail update

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

> 
> Consumer queue dequeuing must be guaranteed to be done fully before the tail is updated. This is not guaranteed with a read barrier,
> changed to a write barrier just before tail update which in practice guarantees correct order of reads and writes.
