The virtio framework uses wmb() when updating avail->idx. It
guarantees the write order, but not necessarily loading order
for the code accessing the memory. This commit adds a load barrier
after reading the avail->idx to make sure all the data in the
descriptor is visible. It also adds a barrier when returning the
packet to virtio framework to make sure read/writes are visible to
the virtio code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
