[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal/stack: fix 'pointer-sign' warning

[Phil Yang]

clang raise 'pointer-sign' warnings in __atomic_compare_exchange
when passing 'uint64_t *' to parameter of type 'int64_t *' converts
between pointers to integer types with different sign.

Fixes: 7e6e609939a8 ("stack: add C11 atomic implementation")

This works, but I'd prefer to keep 'len' unsigned. How about changing the definition of 'len' in struct rte_stack_lf_list to uint64_t, and in rte_stack_lf_generic.h casting it to rte_atomic64_t* when its address is passed to the rte_atomic64_...() functions?

It is better I think. I have upstreamed the v2, please review it.
