commit 22e1992cf7b034db5325660e98c41ca5afa5f519 upstream.
A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_vq_avail_empty(), spotted by
Will. Otherwise, it's not ensured the available ring entries pushed
by guest can be observed by vhost in time, leading to stale available
ring entries fetched by vhost in vhost_get_vq_desc(), as reported by
Yihuang Yu on NVidia's grace-hopper (ARM64) platform.

virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 100 is not a head!
Add the missed smp_rmb() in vhost_vq_avail_empty(). When tx_can_batch()
returns true, it means there's still pending tx buffers. Since it might
read indices, so it still can bypass the smp_rmb() in vhost_get_vq_desc().
Note that it should be safe until vq->avail_idx is changed by commit
275bf960ac697 ("vhost: better detection of available buffers").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
