You need to update meson.build as well.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v7 1/2] ring: add reset API to flush the ring when not in use

[Gavin Hu]

Currently, the flush is done by dequeuing the ring in a while loop. It is
much simpler to flush the queue by resetting the head and tail indices.

To me, a static inline function does not need to be added in
rte_ring_version.map (or is it due to a check script checking the
__rte_experimental tag ?). I found at least one commit where it
is not the case:
c277b34c1b3b ("mbuf: add function returning buffer address")

There are 2 options:
1- remove the rte_ring_version.map part of the patch.
2- change the static inline function into a standard function.

I would prefer 2-, because it allows to keep an api/abi compat
layer in the future.

Regards
Olivier

Sorry for missed your comments for long time, I just submitted v8.
I took the first option as it is in the data path and to keep consistent to its neighboring functions.

Could you give a little more context about why you need to reset
the ring in the data path? I see that it is used in rte_hash_reset(),
but in my thinking, this was more used at init/exit.

Sorry，literally it is in the control path, but I was impressed it will impact the

I'm asking this because given the recent discussions about ABI stability,
I'd like to avoid defining a new static inline if it is not required.

Ok, will take 2nd option in V9, and squash the two patches into one, otherwise it reports the following error:
"error: ‘rte_ring_reset’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]"

Agree, it is a control path function, does not impact any data path performance. It should not be inline.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v9 1/2] ring: add reset API to flush the ring when not in use

[Gavin Hu]

Currently, the flush is done by dequeuing the ring in a while loop. It is
much simpler to flush the queue by resetting the head and tail indices.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v9 2/2] hash: flush the rings instead of dequeuing one by one

[Gavin Hu]

Within rte_hash_reset, calling a while loop to dequeue one by
one from the ring, while not using them at all, is wasting cycles,
The patch just flush the ring by resetting the indices can save cpu
cycles.

Fixes: b26473ff8f4a ("hash: add reset function")
Fixes: 75706568a7eb ("hash: add extendable bucket feature")

Actually it's not a fix, it adds a new API.

Is the patch in hash library intended to be backported? If yes, as it
seems to be a performance optimization, you'll need to describe what
scenario you're fixing and what is the performance gain. If no, the Cc
stable can be removed.

As this is not in the data plan, I don't intend to backport. 
Do I need to submit a new version to remove the CC: lines?
