aio: add missing smp_rmb() in read_events_ring
We ran into a case on ppc64 running mariadb where io_getevents would return zeroed out I/O events. After adding instrumentation, it became clear that there was some missing synchronization between reading the tail pointer and the events themselves. This small patch fixes the problem in testing. Thanks to Zach for helping to look into this, and suggesting the fix. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
