[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v2 0/7] [net] intel: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends

[Brian King]

This patch converts several network drivers to use smp_rmb
rather than read_barrier_depends. The initial issue was
discovered with ixgbe on a Power machine which resulted
in skb list corruption due to fetching a stale skb pointer.
More details can be found in the ixgbe patch description.

Changes since v1:
- Remove NULLing of tx_buffer->skb in the ixgbe patch

Brian King (7):
  ixgbe: Fix skb list corruption on Power systems
  i40e: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
  ixgbevf: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
  igbvf: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
  igb: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
  fm10k: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
  i40evf: Use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends
