[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 19.11] net/bnxt: fix doorbell write ordering

Lance Richardson lance.richardson at broadcom.com
Mon Feb 8 17:30:41 CET 2021


Write completion queue doorbell before receive descriptor
doorbell to avoid possibility of completion queue overflow
when completion queue size is equal to receive descriptor
ring size. Remove unnecessary compiler barriers (db write
functions have the necessary barriers.)

Fixes: 637e34befd9c ("net/bnxt: optimize Rx processing")
