[PATCH 1/1] common/cnxk: fix static assertion failure

[Vamsi Attunuru]

use dynamically allocated memory for storing soft expiry
ring base addresses which fixes the static assertion failure,
size of this dynamic allocation depends on RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS
which varies based on the build config.

Fixes: d26185716d3f ("net/cnxk: support outbound soft expiry
notification")

Hi Vamsi,

"fix static assertion failure" is not enough descriptive.
assertions already added to verify assumptions, and in this case
it seems it failed, but what was actually wrong?

Is it that allocated memory size for ring wrong? (this is what I got
from commit log but I am not sure)

Can you please describe what actually was wrong and fixed now?

Hi Ferruh,

Earlier sa_soft_exp_ring struct member was an array of pointers and it's size is linked to num RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS, 
and the whole struct size is confined and protected by size assertion.  It resulted in build failure with -Dmax_ethports=1024
option and assertion caught that failure. V2 fixes the issues by allocating the required memory dynamically instead
 of using array of pointers.

Thanks Vamsi for details,

I was expecting a new version of patch with updated commit log,
but to make patch for -rc3 I will update it in next-net according
above information

just to double check if I got it right,

The failing assertion is:
PLT_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(struct nix_inl_dev) <= ROC_NIX_INL_MEM_SZ);

Technically you can calculate the 'ROC_NIX_INL_MEM_SZ' as a function
of 'RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS' and that would work (although need to calculate
size for proper cache alignment).

But instead you prefer to convert array to function pointer to fix
the struct size and make it independent from the configured
'RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS' config.


And I assume current magic number for the 'ROC_NIX_INL_MEM_SZ' is
calculated based on max memory requirement of the cn9k & cn10k:
#define ROC_NIX_INL_MEM_SZ (1280)

If so it can be better to describe 'ROC_NIX_INL_MEM_SZ' as what
it is calculated from, like following but it is up to you:
max(sizeof(x), sizeof(y)) ...

Correct.
