Anssi Hannula e100a897bf net: macb: fix random memory corruption on RX with 64-bit DMA
64-bit DMA addresses are split in upper and lower halves that are
written in separate fields on GEM. For RX, bit 0 of the address is used
as the ownership bit (RX_USED). When the RX_USED bit is unset the
controller is allowed to write data to the buffer.

The driver does not guarantee that the controller already sees the upper
half when the RX_USED bit is cleared, possibly resulting in the
controller writing an incoming frame to an address with an incorrect
upper half and therefore possibly corrupting unrelated system memory.

Fix that by adding the necessary DMA memory barrier between the writes.

This corruption was observed on a ZynqMP based system.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
