commit c5275723580922e5f3264f96751337661a153c7d upstream.
Some adapters need a fence Work Entry to handle retransmission. Currently
the driver checks for this condition, only if the Send queue entry is
signalled. Implement the condition check, irrespective of the signalled
state of the Work queue entries
Failure to add the fence can result in access to memory that is already
marked as completed, triggering data corruption, transmission failure,
IOMMU failures, etc.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
