[dpdk-stable] patch 'eal: explicit cast in rwlock functions' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

[Yongseok Koh <yskoh@mellanox.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 01/04/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Yongseok

Subject: [PATCH] eal: explicit cast in rwlock functions

[ upstream commit 1587d36e22d0cf0e037a104e1e851acefd6597f0 ]

GCC 8.1 warned:

In function 'rte_rwlock_read_lock':
rte_rwlock.h:74:12: warning: conversion to 'uint32_t'
{aka 'unsigned int'} from 'int32_t' {aka 'int'} may
change the sign of the result [-Wsign-conversion]
            x, x + 1);
            ^
rte_rwlock.h:74:17: warning: conversion to 'uint32_t'
{aka 'unsigned int'} from 'int' may change the sign

            x, x + 1);
               ~~^~~

In function 'rte_rwlock_write_lock':
rte_rwlock.h:110:15: warning: unsigned conversion
from 'int' to 'uint32_t' {aka 'unsigned int'}
changes value from '-1' to '4294967295' [-Wsign-conversion]
            0, -1);
               ^~

Again in this case we are making explicit the exact cast
that was always happening implicitly.  The patch does not
change the generated code.

The int32_t temp "x" is required to be signed to detect
a < 0 error condition from the lock status.  Afterwards,
it has always been implicitly cast to uint32_t when it
is used in the arguments to rte_atomic32_cmpset()...
gcc8.1 objects to the implicit cast now and requires us
to cast it explicitly.

Fixes: af75078fec ("first public release")
