[PATCH] pc-bios/s390-ccw: Use memory barriers in virtio code


From: Thomas Huth
Subject: [PATCH] pc-bios/s390-ccw: Use memory barriers in virtio code
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:00:56 +0100

According to the virtio specification, a memory barrier should be
used before incrementing the idx field in the "available" ring.
So far, we did not do this in the s390-ccw bios yet, but recently
Peter Maydell saw problems with the s390-ccw bios when running
the qtests on an aarch64 host (the bios panic'ed with the message:
"SCSI cannot report LUNs: response VS RESP=09"), which could
maybe be related to the missing memory barriers. Thus let's add
those barriers now. Since we've only seen the problem on TCG so far,
a "bcr 14,0" should be sufficient here to trigger the tcg_gen_mb()
in the TCG translate code.

(Note: The virtio spec also talks about using a memory barrier
*after* incrementing the idx field, but if I understood correctly
this is only required when using notification suppression - which
we don't use in the s390-ccw bios here)
