[PATCHv2] crypto: amcc - fix missing DMA memory barriers in descriptor handling

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Fix two memory ordering bugs in the AMCC crypto driver:

1. In crypto4xx_bh_tasklet_cb(), add a dma_rmb() between reading the
   PD_CTL_PE_DONE bit (with READ_ONCE) and reading the descriptor and DMA
   buffer data in crypto4xx_pd_done().  Without it, the CPU on a
   weakly-ordered architecture could read stale descriptor data before the
   hardware's writes are globally visible.

2. In crypto4xx_build_pd(), add a dma_wmb() before writing
   PD_CTL_HOST_READY to ensure all descriptor and SA data is visible to
   the device before the ownership handover bit.  Also fix the descriptor
   field ordering: pd_ctl_len.w must be written before pd_ctl.w (which
   contains HOST_READY), not after, to prevent the hardware from fetching
   uninitialized length data.

  AEAD accelerator driver)
