Subject: [PATCH 4.14 011/165] vmxnet3: use DMA memory barriers where required

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "hpreg@...are.com" <hpreg@...are.com>

[ Upstream commit f3002c1374fb2367c9d8dbb28852791ef90d2bac ]

The gen bits must be read first from (resp. written last to) DMA memory.
The proper way to enforce this on Linux is to call dma_rmb() (resp.
dma_wmb()).
