[ Upstream commit af3826db74d184bc9c2c9d3ff34548e5f317a6f3 ]
Current driver uses software CQ head pointer to poll on CQE
header in memory to determine if CQE is valid. Software needs
to make sure, that the reads of the CQE do not get re-ordered
so much that it ends up with an inconsistent view of the CQE.
To ensure that DMB barrier after read to first CQE cacheline
and before reading of the rest of the CQE is needed.
But having barrier for every CQE read will impact the performance,
instead use hardware CQ head and tail pointers to find the
valid number of CQEs.

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.
