3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Wang <jasow...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 841df922417eb82c835e93d4b93eb6a68c99d599 ]
We miss a write barrier that guarantees used idx is updated and seen
before log. This will let userspace sync and copy used ring before
used idx is update. Fix this by adding a barrier before log_write().
Fixes: 8dd014adfea6f ("vhost-net: mergeable buffers support")
