lkml.org link, please don't use them. The kernel.org links (example
below) have the Message-Id in them, which allows me to search for them
in my local storage without having to use a web browser.

You mean this one, right?

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/be707feb95d65b44435a0d9de946192f1fef30c6.1581497860.git.michal.simek@xxxxxxxxxx

So the PDF says this is a completion barrier, needed for DMA. This is a
very expensive option for smp_mb(), but if it is all you have and is
required, then yes, that should do.
