[ Upstream commit 60f0779862 ]
Currently vq->broken field is read by virtqueue_is_broken() in busy
loop in one context by virtnet_send_command().
vq->broken is set to true in other process context by
virtio_break_device(). Reader and writer are accessing it without any
synchronization. This may lead to a compiler optimization which may
result to optimize reading vq->broken only once.
Hence, force reading vq->broken on each invocation of
virtqueue_is_broken() and also force writing it so that such
update is visible to the readers.
It is a theoretical fix that isn't yet encountered in the field.

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.
