Tail load in __rte_ring_move_cons_head and __rte_ring_move_prod_head
can be changed to __ATOMIC_RELAXED from __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE.
Because to calculate the addresses of the dequeue
elements __rte_ring_dequeue_elems uses the old_head updated by the
__atomic_compare_exchange_n intrinsic used in
__rte_ring_move_prod_head. This results in an address dependency
between the two operations. Therefore __rte_ring_dequeue_elems cannot
happen before __rte_ring_move_prod_head.
Similarly __rte_ring_enqueue_elems and __rte_ring_move_cons_head
won't be reordered either.

This makes sense since tail is already synchronized by the previous thread fence.
Probably best to add the comment about ht->tail into the existing thread_fence comment.
Something like:
/* Ensure that head is read before tail and that tail synchronized with update_tail */

Big performance gain compared to pre-improved C11 atomics! Excellent.

I noticed that the larger size (32 objects) had a larger relative drop in performance than the smaller size (8 objects), so I am wondering what the performance numbers are for size 512, the default RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE? It's probably not going to change anything regarding the patch acceptance, but I'm curious about the numbers.

I think this comment should clarified as:
Updating of ht->tail SHOULD NOT happen before elements are added to or
removed from the ring, as it WOULD result in data races between
producer and consumer threads. Therefore ht->tail MUST be updated
with release semantics to prevent ring data copy phase from sinking
below it.
Don't use capitals; I only used them to highlight my modifications.
NB: English is not my native language, so please ignore me if I am mistaken!

The __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE had a comment describing its purpose.
Please don't just remove that comment. Please replace it with a new comment describing why __ATOMIC_RELAXED is valid here.

The solution presented in this RFC is not C11 compliant.
C11 __atomic_compare_exchange_n updates "expected" only when CAS instruction fails.
Therefore, the assumption that there is an address dependency from CAS instructions in both producer/consumer head update to the ring element accesses falls apart with respect to semantics of the C11 memory model.
Thus, this solution may corrupt ring elements when executed on CPUs with weak memory models.
Therefore, this RFC will be retracted.
