Maybe it could go on the same line

Not sure we need to keep this comment

Why do we need this? It is a problem to allow sc/sp in this mode (even
if it's not optimal)?

Not really related to your patch, but I think we need a function to
dump the name of available mempool ops. We could even add a description.
The problem we have is that a user does not know on which criteria is
should use a driver or another (except for platform drivers).

These new sync modes (RTS, HTS) are for MT.
For SP/SC - there is simply no point to use MT sync modes.
I suppose there are few choices:
1. Make F_SP_PUT/F_SC_GET flags silently override expected ops behaviour
   and create actual ring with ST sync mode for prod/cons. 
2. Report an error.
3. Silently ignore these flags.

As I can see for  "ring_mp_mc" ops, we doing #1, 
while for "stack" we are doing #3.
For RTS/HTS I chosoe #2, as it seems cleaner to me.
Any thoughts from your side what preferable behaviour should be?

Agree, it will be usefull.
Though it probably subject for a separate patch.

The F_SP_PUT/F_SC_GET are only used in rte_mempool_create() to select
the default ops among (ring_sp_sc, ring_mp_sc, ring_sp_mc,
ring_mp_mc). I don't think we should look at it when using specific ops.

So I'll tend to say 3. is the correct thing to do.

As I understand, nothing prevents user from doing:

mp = rte_mempool_create_empty(name, n, elt_size, cache_size,
                 sizeof(struct rte_pktmbuf_pool_private), socket_id, 0);

Ok, will resend v3 then.

Apologies, hit send accidently.
I meant user can do:

mp = rte_mempool_create_empty(..., F_SP_PUT | F_SC_GET);
rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_mp_mc", NULL);

An in that case, he'll get SP/SC ring underneath.

It looks it's not the case. Since commit 449c49b93a6b ("mempool: support
handler operations"), the flags SP_PUT/SC_GET are converted into a call
to rte_mempool_set_ops_byname() in rte_mempool_create() only.

In rte_mempool_create_empty(), these flags are ignored. It is expected
that the user calls rte_mempool_set_ops_byname() by itself.

I don't think it is a good behavior:

1/ The documentation of rte_mempool_create_empty() does not say that the
   flags are ignored, and a user can expect that F_SP_PUT | F_SC_GET
   sets the default ops like rte_mempool_create().

2/ If rte_mempool_set_ops_byname() is not called after
   rte_mempool_create_empty() (and it looks it happens in dpdk's code),
   the default ops are the ones registered at index 0. This depends on
   the link order.

So I propose to move the following code in
rte_mempool_create_empty().

	if ((flags & MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT) && (flags & MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET))
		ret = rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_sp_sc", NULL);
	else if (flags & MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT)
		ret = rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_sp_mc", NULL);
	else if (flags & MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET)
		ret = rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_mp_sc", NULL);
	else
		ret = rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_mp_mc", NULL);

What do you think?

As I understand the code - not exactly.
rte_mempool_create_empty() doesn't make any specific actions based on 'flags' value,
but it does store it's value inside mp->flags.
Later, when mempool_ops_alloc_once() is called these flags will be used by
common_ring_alloc() and might override selected by ops ring behaviour.

I think it will be a good thing - as in that case we'll always have
"ring_mp_mc" selected as default one.
As another thought, it porbably would be good to deprecate and later remove
MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT and MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET completely.
These days user can select this behaviour via mempool ops and such dualism
just makes things more error-prone and harder to maintain.
Especially as we don't have clear policy what should be the higher priority
for sync mode selection: mempool ops or flags.

I'll tend to agree, however it would mean deprecate rte_mempool_create()
too, because we wouldn't be able to set ops with it. Or we would have to
add a 12th (!) argument to the function, to set the ops name.

I don't like having that many arguments to this function, but it seems
it is widely used, probably because it is just one function call (vs
create_empty + set_ops + populate). So adding a "ops_name" argument is
maybe the right thing to do, given we can keep abi compat.

My thought was - just keep rte_mempool_create()
parameter list as it is, and always set ops to "ring_mp_mc" for it.
Users who'd like some other ops would force to use
create_empty+set_ops+populate.
That's pretty much the same what we have right now,
the only diff will be ring with SP/SC mode.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] mempool/ring: add support for new ring sync modes

[Konstantin Ananyev]

Two new sync modes were introduced into rte_ring:
relaxed tail sync (RTS) and head/tail sync (HTS).
This change provides user with ability to select these
modes for ring based mempool via mempool ops API.

No, the user cannot use these modes because there is no doc,
except in release notes.

Sorry I don't understand why I have to do such obvious comment
after so many years.
And more importantly, why nobody else asked for doc?

I think I will add "UNMAINTAINED" for doc in MAINTAINERS file.
If nobody is interested in doc maintenance, we could "git rm doc/".

Sorry in advance for hijacking this thread.

Please check the comment on top of new features about the ordering.
Mempool features should be mentioned earlier in the list.

AFAIK, there is no section for rte_ring and others SW based 
mempool drivers:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/mempool/index.html
Are you asking me to add such section as part of this patch?

I'm asking to provide some documentation to the users yes.

It can be in doc you pointed above with a link from the prog guide:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/mempool_lib.html#mempool-handlers

And because it is solving issues in some use cases,
it needs to be called out why and when use these options.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 2/2] mempool/ring: add support for new ring sync modes

[Konstantin Ananyev]

Two new sync modes were introduced into rte_ring:
relaxed tail sync (RTS) and head/tail sync (HTS).
This change provides user with ability to select these
modes for ring based mempool via mempool ops API.

We have quite detailed explanation in ring library guide:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/ring_lib.html
7.6. Producer/consumer synchronization modes
So here, I put a link to ring library guide for those who need more details.
I can copy&paste same text here too,
but it probably not much point in such duplication.

Do not duplicate.
Please add a direct link to the section:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/ring_lib.html#mp-rts-mc-rts

From a user perspective, I was looking for recommendation about
which mode is preferred in which case.
Maybe few words about what is an "overcommitted systems"?
