net/mlx5e: RX, Avoid possible data corruption when relaxed ordering and LRO combined
When HW aggregates packets for an LRO session, it writes the payload of two consecutive packets of a flow contiguously, so that they usually share a cacheline. The first byte of a packet's payload is written immediately after the last byte of the preceding packet. In this flow, there are two consecutive write requests to the shared cacheline: 1. Regular write for the earlier packet. 2. Read-modify-write for the following packet. In case of relaxed-ordering on, these two writes might be re-ordered. Using the end padding optimization (to avoid partial write for the last cacheline of a packet) becomes problematic if the two writes occur out-of-order, as the padding would overwrite payload that belongs to the following packet, causing data corruption. Avoid this by disabling the end padding optimization when both LRO and relaxed-ordering are enabled.
