Subject: [NET]: Add memory barrrier to netif_poll_enable()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e44c39bd8478bf9e41cbc611c74b5879a7b29f58;p=linux-beck.git

[NET]: Add memory barrrier to netif_poll_enable()

When a driver writer calls this, they generally expect that
all previous stores and modifications they've made will be
visible before netif_poll_enable() executes, so ensure this.

Noticed by Ben H.
