[PATCH 4.4 34/66] skd: Submit requests to firmware before triggering the doorbell

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx>

commit 5fbd545cd3fd311ea1d6e8be4cedddd0ee5684c7 upstream.

Ensure that the members of struct skd_msg_buf have been transferred
to the PCIe adapter before the doorbell is triggered. This patch
avoids that I/O fails sporadically and that the following error
message is reported:

(skd0:STM000196603:[0000:00:09.0]): Completion mismatch comp_id=0x0000 skreq=0x0400 new=0x0000
