Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 08/15] service: fix and refactor atomic service accesses
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2017 13:58:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1503320296-51122-9-git-send-email-harry.van.haaren@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1503320296-51122-1-git-send-email-harry.van.haaren@intel.com>

This commit fixes an issue in the service runner function,
where the atomic value was not cleared on exiting the service
function. This resulted in future attempts to run the service
to appear like the function was running, however it was in
reality deadlocked.

This commit refactors the atomic handling to be more readable,
by splitting the implementation code into a new static inline
function. The remaining flow control of atomics in the existing
function is refactored for readability.

Fixes: 21698354c832 ("service: introduce service cores concept")

+* **Service core fails to call service callback due to atomic lock**
+
+  In a specific configuration of multi-thread unsafe services and service
+  cores, a service core previously did not correctly release the atomic lock
+  on the service. This would result in the cores polling the service, but it
+  looked like another thread was executing the service callback. The logic for
+  atomic locking of the services has been fixed and refactored for readability.
