The __ax88179_read_cmd() and __ax88179_write_cmd() routines are
asynchronous with respect to ax88179_disconnect(), right? Or at least,
they are if they run as a result of the user closing the network
interface. Otherwise there wouldn't be any memory ordering issues.
But the memory barriers you added are not the proper solution. What you
need here is _synchronization_, not _ordering_. As it is, the memory
barriers you have added don't do anything; they shouldn't be in the
patch.
If you would like a more in-depth explanation, let me know.
