The code determines if the next ring entry is valid before proceeding further to read the rest of the entry. The CPU can re-order and read the rest of the entry first, possibly reading a stale entry, if DMA of a new entry happens right after reading it. This issue can be readily seen on a ppc64 system, causing it to crash. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
