[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 0/3] support c11 memory model barrier in librte_ring

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 0/3] support c11 memory model barrier in librte_ring

[Jia He]

To support C11 memory model barrier, 2 options are suggested by Jerin:
1. use rte_smp_rmb
2. use load_acquire/store_release
CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL is provided, and by default it is "n"
on any architectures so far.

The reason why providing 2 options is due to the performance benchmark
difference in different arm machines.

Already fuctionally tested on the machines as follows:
- on X86
- on arm64 with CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=y
- on arm64 with CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=n

---
Changelog:
V8: Change the lincense to SPDX tag. Change USE_C11_MEM_MODEL to "n" on
    any architectures by default
V7: fix check-git-log warnings which is suggested by Jerin
V6: minor change in subject and log
V5: split it into 2 patchset due to the milestone concerns, this is the 2st
    one. Also fix checkpatch.pl warnings
V4: split into small patches
V3: arch specific implementation for enqueue/dequeue barrier
V2: let users choose whether using load_acquire/store_release
V1: rte_smp_rmb() between 2 loads

Jia He (3):
  eal/arm64: remove the braces {} for dmb() and dsb()
  ring: introduce new header file to include common functions
  ring: introduce new header file to support C11 memory model

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 1/3] eal/arm64: remove the braces {} for dmb() and dsb()

[Jia He]

for the code as follows:
if (condition)
	rte_smp_rmb();
else
	rte_smp_wmb();
Without this patch, compiler will report this error:
error: 'else' without a previous 'if'

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 2/3] ring: introduce new header file to include common functions

[Jia He]

Move the common part of rte_ring.h into rte_ring_generic.h.
Move the memory barrier part into update_tail().

No functional changes here.

This is BSD-2-freebsd, which is not a approved license for DPDK.
Can you ask Kip Macy, if he/she is ok to re-license it with BSD-3?

Please check with legal, if you can just keep the copyright of Kip Macy 
and re license it with BSD-3.

I see the BSD-3 license to be permissive enough to be re-licensed as 
BSD-3. But I am not a lawyer.

I agree this is something we should do, as a maintainer of librte_ring,
I can do it.

But here, Jia is just moving code in a new file. I don't think this should
block his patchset from beeing included.

 [Hemant]   I thought of blocking this kind of moves, so that we get the license complaint of DPDK faster 😊

Jia, shall keep the original copyrights and headers in this file (i.e. No SPDX).   You need to fix it along with rte_ring.h in near future.

Ok, I will
Besides ,I got the allowance from Kip Macy just now. He/She allowed dpdk 
to license librte_ring.h as BSD-3.

My question:
 >Would you mind allowing dpdk librte_ring.h to be licensed as BSD 3 
instead of BSD 2?
His/her reply:

"I think that's fine. If you're using it be careful I think there's a
fix to memory barrier usage needed more relaxed memory models such as
ARM. I'll check reviews to see if it made it in or not."

If it can't be BSD-3 licensed, then it needs to be removed. Mixing licenses is a real problem

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 3/3] ring: introduce new header file to support C11 memory model

[Jia He]

To support C11 memory model barrier, 2 options are suggested by Jerin:
1. use rte_smp_rmb
2. use load_acquire/store_release(refer to [1]).
CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL is provided, and by default it is "n"
on any architectures so far.

The reason why providing 2 options is due to the performance benchmark
difference in different arm machines, refer to [2].

We haven't tested on ppc64. If anyone verifies it, he can add
CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=y to ppc64 config files.

In previous patches, it was enabled for ARM.
You decided to not enable it at all?

Do you mean  CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=n in comm_base and
"y" in armv8 config?

Check my response in your other patch. This is not a DPDK acceptable 
license. It need approval from GB.

I could not locate a BSD-3 version of bufring.h
What can be accepted in this case, without GB approval:
BSD-3 only license
  + Keep copyright of Kip Macy
  + Put statement that Kip Macy allowed it for BSD-3 uses. Or, Your 
company (the copyright owner) is re-licensing the original 
"BSD-2-freebsd" as "BSD-3".
+ keep the Derived from statement.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9 0/3] support c11 memory model barrier in librte_ring

[Jia He]

There are 2 model barrier options in librte_ring suggested by Jerin:
1. use rte_smp_rmb
2. use load_acquire/store_release

CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL is provided for supporting C11 memory
model barrier in librte_ring. By default it is "y" on arm64, "n" on any
other architectures so far.

Already fuctionally tested on the machines as follows:
- on X86
- on arm64 with CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=y
- on arm64 with CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=n

---
Changelog:
V9: remove the SPDX tag and refine commit logs
V8: Change the license to SPDX tag. Change USE_C11_MEM_MODEL to "n" on
    any architectures by default
V7: fix check-git-log warnings which is suggested by Jerin
V6: minor change in subject and log
V5: split it into 2 patchset due to the milestone concerns, this is the 2st
    one. Also fix checkpatch.pl warnings
V4: split into small patches
V3: arch specific implementation for enqueue/dequeue barrier
V2: let users choose whether using load_acquire/store_release
V1: rte_smp_rmb() between 2 loads

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9 3/3] ring: introduce new header file to support C11 memory model

[Jia He]

This patch is to support C11 memory model barrier in librte_ring.

There are 2 barrier implementation options in librte_ring (suggested
by Jerin).
1. use rte_smp_rmb
2. use load_acquire/store_release(refer to [1]).
The reason why providing 2 options is the performance benchmark
difference in different arm machines, refer to [2].

CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL is provided, and by default it is "n"
on any architectures and only "y" on arm64 so far.

[1] https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/sys/buf_ring.h#L170
[2] http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-October/080861.html

Why did you remove the SPDX tag?

You need to fix the licensing issue.
BSD-2-Clause is uncommon in DPDK.

Thomas,

The licensing issue existed before Jia's patch. I think we can
solve it separately.

[Hemant] the license issue existed before this patch. So I have asked Jia to send another patch over this series to fix it in these as well as other files of librte_ring.
