From 89739c14c72e5c1626a5cd5e09cbb2efeaadb6d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] xen-scsiback: safely copy requests
The copy of the ring request was lacking a following barrier(),
potentially allowing the compiler to optimize the copy away.
Use RING_COPY_REQUEST() to ensure the request is copied to local
memory.
This is part of XSA155.
