[PATCH 4.9 07/96] vmxnet3: use DMA memory barriers where required

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: "hpreg@xxxxxxxxxx" <hpreg@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f3002c1374fb2367c9d8dbb28852791ef90d2bac ]

The gen bits must be read first from (resp. written last to) DMA memory.
The proper way to enforce this on Linux is to call dma_rmb() (resp.
dma_wmb()).
