Subject: [PATCH 1/2] latencystats: fix receive sample MP issues
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:34:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250613003547.39239-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250613003547.39239-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The receive callback was not safe with multiple queues.
If one receive queue callback decides to take a sample it
needs to add that sample and do atomic update to the previous
TSC sample value. Add a new lock for that.
Also, add code to handle TSC wraparound in comparison.
Perhaps this should move to rte_cycles.h?
Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
Fixes: 5cd3cac9ed22 ("latency: added new library for latency stats")
