[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] eal: remove redundant code

[Phil Yang]

The event status has been cleaned up by the CAS operation when we free
the event data, so there is no need to set it to invalid after that.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] eal: use c11 atomics for interrupt status

[Phil Yang]

The event status is defined as a volatile variable and shared
between threads. Use c11 atomics with explicit ordering instead
of rte_atomic ops which enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

Patches looks fine to me with commit message changes suggested
by Honnappa, i.e. using C11 atomic built-ins.
Since first patch of the series will not be backported, so I
think both patches can be combined into one.

I got a reject from the ABI check in my env.

1 function with some indirect sub-type change:

  [C]'function int rte_pci_ioport_map(rte_pci_device*, int,
rte_pci_ioport*)' at pci.c:756:1 has some indirect sub-type changes:
    parameter 1 of type 'rte_pci_device*' has sub-type changes:
      in pointed to type 'struct rte_pci_device' at rte_bus_pci.h:57:1:
        type size hasn't changed
        1 data member changes (2 filtered):
         type of 'rte_intr_handle rte_pci_device::intr_handle' changed:
           type size hasn't changed
           1 data member change:
            type of 'rte_epoll_event rte_intr_handle::elist[512]' changed:
              array element type 'struct rte_epoll_event' changed:
                type size hasn't changed
                1 data member change:
                 type of 'volatile uint32_t rte_epoll_event::status' changed:
                   entity changed from 'volatile uint32_t' to 'typedef

                   type size hasn't changed

              type size hasn't changed


This is probably harmless in our case (going from volatile to non
volatile), but it won't pass the check in the CI without an exception
rule.

Note: checking on the test-report ml, I saw nothing, but ovsrobot did
catch the issue with this change too, Aaron?

I don't have archives back to Jun 11 on the robot server.  I think it
doesn't preserve forever (and the archives seem to go back only until
Jul 03).  I will update it.

I do see that we have a failed travis job:

https://travis-ci.org/github/ovsrobot/dpdk/builds/697180855

I'm surprised this didn't go out.  Have we seen other failures to report
of the ovs robot recently?  I can double check the job config.

We do receive reports from the robot atm.
And I found one failure reported this morning.
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2020-July/142421.html

Maybe transient failures wrt mail delivery?
Just throwing an idea..

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal: use c11 atomic built-ins for interrupt status

[Phil Yang]

The event status is defined as a volatile variable and shared between
threads. Use c11 atomic built-ins with explicit ordering instead of
rte_atomic ops which enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

The event status has been cleaned up by the compare-and-swap operation
when we free the event data, so there is no need to set it to invalid
after that.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] eal: use c11 atomic built-ins for interrupt status

[Phil Yang]

The event status is defined as a volatile variable and shared between
threads. Use c11 atomic built-ins with explicit ordering instead of
rte_atomic ops which enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

The event status has been cleaned up by the compare-and-swap operation
when we free the event data, so there is no need to set it to invalid
after that.

In general, ignoring all changes on a structure is risky.
But the risk is acceptable as long as we remember this for the rest of
the 20.08 release (and we will start from scratch for 20.11).


Without any comment from others, I'll merge this by the end of (my) day.

Thanks.

Right, I thought about this too when I saw that change.  If that struct
is inherently *not* part of the logically exposed ABI, the risk is
really minimal as well.  In that case, maybe a comment saying so in the
.abignore file could be useful for future reference.
