Subject: [dpdk-dev] Using C11 atomic semantic
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:34:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7124002.r8JxatOC3Q@thomas> (raw)
In the techboard of April 22, it has been decided to block patches
using rte_atomicNN_xx and rte_smp_*mb APIs, starting DPDK 20.08.
Meeting minutes:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-April/165143.html
Deprecation notice:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.html
Some doc has been submitted to help understanding how to manage atomics:
http://doc .dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/writing_efficient_code.html#locks-and-atomic-operations
Unfortunately the tool to check new code was merged last week:
http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=f1602b4a86
As a consequence, I propose to apply the "reject rule" starting DPDK 20.11.
Can we make this rule better advertised with an announce message?
Are the current technical explanations enough?
If not, it would be wonderful to have a blog post explaining the details,
as part of an announce.
