From: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com> [ Upstream commit 8130b9d5b5abf26f9927b487c15319a187775f34 ] This patch adds the barrier to guarantee that req->err is always updated before req->state. Otherwise, read_reply() would not return ERR_PTR(req->err) but req->body, when process_writes()->xb_write() is failed.
