Dear dpdk dev,

I'm using dpdk 21.11 LTS, when compile my program with CPP flag "-std=c++20", the compiler report below errors. After checking file rte_spinlock.h, I think the error report by compiler is valid, there should be a potential issue when using functions rte_spinlock_recursive_lock, rte_spinlock_recursive_unlock and rte_spinlock_recursive_trylock in multi-thread, we could either remove "volatile" definition to ask users to handle the multi-thread issue, or using atomic operatings instead of self-increment and self-decrement.


/home/dpdk/lib/eal/include/generic/rte_spinlock.h:221:12: error: increment of object of volatile-qualified type 'volatile int' is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-volatile]
        slr->count++;
                  ^

        if (--(slr->count) == 0) {
