Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/25/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/660055f3627bbdf86f2803bb8488875bb3efd683

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix risk in NEON Rx descriptor read

[ upstream commit 7ac7450b20d1e11a20c138707663867918b39403 ]

In NEON vector PMD, vector load loads two contiguous 8B of
descriptor data into vector register. Given vector load ensures no
16B atomicity, read of the word that includes op_own field could be
reordered after read of other words. In this case, some words could
contain invalid data.

Reloaded qword0 after read barrier to update vector register. This
ensures that the fetched data is correct.

Testpmd single core test on N1SDP/ThunderX2 showed no performance drop.

Fixes: 1742c2d9fab0 ("net/mlx5: fix synchronization on polling Rx completions")
