[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 0/2] i40e Rx descriptor loads ordering

[Ruifeng Wang]

On Rx path, NIC fills Rx descriptor with data pertains to received packet.

A single descriptor consists of multiple words. Word1 has the bit that
indicates readiness of descriptor for software to use. So word1 should
be loaded before other words.

On architectures with weaker memory ordering, barrier is needed to ensure
the ordering of loads.

This patch set fixed the risk on both scalar path and aarch64 vector path.

v2:
Updated commit message. Performance impact added. (Honnappa)
