drm/i915/execlists: Use rmb() to order CSB reads
We assume that the CSB is written using the normal ringbuffer coherency protocols, as outlined in kernel/events/ring_buffer.c: * (HW) (DRIVER) * * if (LOAD ->data_tail) { LOAD ->data_head * (A) smp_rmb() (C) * STORE $data LOAD $data * smp_wmb() (B) smp_mb() (D) * STORE ->data_head STORE ->data_tail * } So we assume that the HW fulfils its ordering requirements (B), and so we should use a complimentary rmb (C) to ensure that our read of its WRITE pointer is completed before we start accessing the data. The final mb (D) is implied by the uncached mmio we perform to inform the HW of our READ pointer.
