Subject: Potential RTE bitset RFC
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2024 19:31:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01427f5d-a297-4ca5-b5e3-5a10bf83cd36@lysator.liu.se> (raw)

Hi.

The new timer RFC ("htimer") I submitted last year also included a new 
bitset API.

https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230315170342.214127-2-mattias.ronnblom@ericsson.com/

My experience is that multi-word bitsets are often useful. Examples from 
DPDK are rte_service.c and DSW its "service ports" bitset (both have 64 
as a hard upper limit). Small, but multi-word, bitsets are not 
particularly hard to open-code, but then you end up with a lot of 
duplication.

I wanted to ask if there is an interest in seeing a bitset API (as per 
my patchset) in DPDK.

Upstreaming htimer, including having it replace today's rte_timer is 
more work than I can commit to, so I think you won't get RTE bitset that 
way any time soon.

Regards,
	Mattias
