It touches core libraries only: always_enable = [ 'cmdline', 'eal', 'ethdev', 'hash', 'kvargs', 'log', 'mbuf', 'mempool', 'meter', 'net', 'pci', 'rcu', 'ring', 'stack', 'telemetry', ] For just these libs, we have reaonably small number of VLA warnings: 1 ../lib/eal/common 2 ../lib/eal/linux 2 ../lib/rcu 3 ../lib/hash 4 ../lib/ethdev The series addresses them one by one, on individual basis. Disclaimer: this is just an RFC, so some approaches might be questionable (eal_interrupts). Others (rcu) shall be treated as API change, so can be applied only for 24.11. The main goal here is to start discussion and find the best possible approach. Just as FYI, below is the number of VLA warnings per module for all libs and drivers on my machine for linux 'default' build with gcc: 1 ../drivers/crypto/cnxk 1 ../drivers/crypto/octeontx 1 ../drivers/crypto/scheduler 1 ../drivers/net/dpaa 1 ../drivers/net/failsafe 1 ../drivers/net/gve 1 ../drivers/net/i40e 1 ../drivers/net/ice 1 ../drivers/net/netvsc 1 ../drivers/net/sfc 1 ../lib/eventdev 1 ../lib/latencystats 1 ../lib/power 2 ../drivers/common/mlx5 2 ../drivers/crypto/ccp 2 ../drivers/crypto/openssl 2 ../drivers/net/nfp 2 ../drivers/net/octeontx 2 ../drivers/net/softnic 2 ../drivers/net/vdev_netvsc 2 ../lib/acl 2 ../lib/dispatcher 2 ../lib/eal/linux 2 ../lib/gro 2 ../lib/pdump 2 ../lib/rcu 3 ../drivers/common/cnxk 3 ../drivers/common/idpf 3 ../drivers/crypto/qat 3 ../drivers/event/dsw 3 ../drivers/net/bnxt 3 ../drivers/net/cxgbe 3 ../drivers/net/ixgbe 3 ../lib/hash 3 ../lib/pdcp 3 ../lib/table 4 ../drivers/net/bonding 4 ../drivers/net/cnxk 4 ../drivers/net/hns3 4 ../drivers/net/tap 4 ../lib/ethdev 5 ../drivers/event/opdl 5 ../drivers/net/dpaa2 5 ../drivers/vdpa/mlx5 5 ../lib/member 6 ../drivers/event/cnxk 6 ../lib/bpf 6 ../lib/vhost 7 ../drivers/common/mlx5/linux 8 ../drivers/net/virtio 10 ../drivers/net/mlx4 11 ../drivers/net/mlx5 13 ../drivers/event/sw 17 ../drivers/net/mlx5/linux 22 ../lib/lpm 61 ../lib/ipsec Konstantin Ananyev (6): eal/linux: remove VLA warnings eal/common: remove VLA warnings ethdev: remove VLA warnings hash: remove VLA warnings hash/thash: remove VLA warnings rcu: remove VLA warnings lib/eal/common/eal_common_proc.c | 5 +- lib/eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c | 59 ++++++++-- lib/ethdev/rte_ethdev.c | 183 +++++++++++++++++++------------ lib/hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c | 4 +- lib/hash/rte_thash.c | 2 +- lib/hash/rte_thash.h | 8 ++ lib/rcu/rte_rcu_qsbr.c | 7 +- lib/rcu/rte_rcu_qsbr.h | 5 + 8 files changed, 188 insertions(+), 85 deletions(-) -- 2.35.3
