[PATCH RESEND] media: dvb_ringbuffer: Add memory barriers

From: Soeren Moch
Date: Wed Mar 16 2016 - 09:42:52 EST


Implement memory barriers according to Documentation/circular-buffers.txt:
- use smp_store_release() to update ringbuffer read/write pointers
- use smp_load_acquire() to load write pointer on reader side
- use ACCESS_ONCE() to load read pointer on writer side

This fixes data stream corruptions observed e.g. on an ARM Cortex-A9
quad core system with different types (PCI, USB) of DVB tuners.

Since smp_store_release() and smp_load_acquire() were introduced in linux-3.14,
a 3.14+ stable tag was added. Is it desired to apply a similar patch to older
stable kernels?
