[PATCH 4.14 009/189] MIPS: io: Add barrier after register read in readX()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 05:11:55 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sinan Kaya <okaya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a1cc7034e33d12dc17d13fbcd7d597d552889097 ]

While a barrier is present in the writeX() functions before the register
write, a similar barrier is missing in the readX() functions after the
register read. This could allow memory accesses following readX() to
observe stale data.
