[PATCH 8/8] ioat3: fix pq completion versus channel deallocation race

From: Dan Williams
Date: Fri Nov 20 2009 - 02:07:55 EST


The completion of a pq operation is notified with a null descriptor
appended to the end of the chain. This descriptor needs to be visible
to dma clients otherwise the client is precluded from ensuring all
operations are quiesced before freeing channel resources, i.e. due to
descriptor polling it may get the completion notification ahead of the
interrupt delivered by the null descriptor.
