Subject: [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 2/8] net/memif: relax the load of ring tail

Errors-To: stable-bounces@dpdk.org
Sender: "stable" <stable-bounces@dpdk.org>

For M2S rings, ring->tail is updated by the sender and eth_memif_tx
function is called in the context of sending thread. The loads in
the sender do not need to synchronize with its own stores.
