+From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>
+Subject: xen/evtchn: Add missing barriers when accessing/allocating an event channel
+
+While the allocation of a bucket is always performed with the per-domain
+lock, the bucket may be accessed without the lock taken (for instance, see
+evtchn_send()).
+
+Instead such sites relies on port_is_valid() to return a non-zero value
+when the port has a struct evtchn associated to it. The function will
+mostly check whether the port is less than d->valid_evtchns as all the
+buckets/event channels should be allocated up to that point.
+
+Unfortunately a compiler is free to re-order the assignment in
+evtchn_allocate_port() so it would be possible to have d->valid_evtchns
+updated before the new bucket has finish to allocate.
+
+Additionally on Arm, even if this was compiled "correctly", the
+processor can still re-order the memory access.
+
+Add a write memory barrier in the allocation side and a read memory
+barrier when the port is valid to prevent any re-ordering issue.
+
+This is XSA-340.
