[PATCH RFC] vhost: fix barrier pairing
According to memory-barriers.txt, an smp memory barrier
should always be paired with another smp memory barrier,
and I quote "a lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an
error".
In case of vhost, failure to flush out used index
update before looking at the interrupt disable flag
could result in missed interrupts, resulting in
networking hang under stress.
This might happen
