[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 0/2] replace tight loop with wait until equal api

[Feifei Wang]

For dpdk/lib, directly use wait_until_equal API to replace tight loop.

Feifei Wang (2):
  eal/common: use wait until equal API for tight loop
  mcslock: use wait until equal API for tight loop

Why do you need to cast as volatile?

Thanks for the comments.
This is firstly because rte_wait_until_equal API defines the variable as volatile.
However, with your comment, I find 'me->lock' is not volatile. And by the test,
I think you are right, it is necessary to add volatile here.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/2] replace tight loop with wait until equal api

[Feifei Wang]

For dpdk/lib, directly use wait_until_equal API to replace tight loop.

v2:
1. delete wrong 'volatile' in mcslock (David)

Feifei Wang (2):
  eal/common: use wait until equal API for tight loop
  mcslock: use wait until equal API for tight loop
