Subject: [dpdk-dev] rte_ctrlmbuf_init() and CTRL_MBUF_FLAG are not used - shouldn't they be removed and deprecated ?
Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2017 06:51:51 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGXs5wWKHqjc8Ct4fUDj0sMs=ONMRMi7iUchRF_VZDoNCWEy5A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
With the most recent master tree we have:

git grep  rte_ctrlmbuf_init
doc/guides/prog_guide/mbuf_lib.rst:The rte_pktmbuf_init() and
rte_ctrlmbuf_init() functions initialize some fields in the mbuf
structure that
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.c:rte_ctrlmbuf_init(struct rte_mempool *mp,
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h:void rte_ctrlmbuf_init(struct rte_mempool
*mp, void *opaque_arg,
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf_version.map:   rte_ctrlmbuf_init;

git grep  rte_is_ctrlmbuf
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h:rte_is_ctrlmbuf(struct rte_mbuf *m)

git grep CTRL_MBUF_FLAG
doc/guides/prog_guide/mbuf_lib.rst:or generic control buffers
(indicated by the CTRL_MBUF_FLAG).
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.c:     m->ol_flags |= CTRL_MBUF_FLAG;
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h:#define CTRL_MBUF_FLAG       (1ULL << 63)
/**< Mbuf contains control data */
lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h:     return !!(m->ol_flags & CTRL_MBUF_FLAG);

rte_ctrlmbuf_init() and CTRL_MBUF_FLAG and rte_is_ctrlmbuf() are not
used - shouldn't they be removed and deprecated ?
