Subject: [dpdk-users] Why is the order of atomic read/write like in queue_update_status in rte_eth_vhost.c?
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 23:50:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHUXu_X64iP1ca3G0ZMwktsN673uaEMQ0_B0D2faGGY_tgtwTg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

 /* Wait until rx/tx_pkt_burst stops accessing vhost device */
for (i = 0; i < dev->data->nb_rx_queues; i++) {
vq = dev->data->rx_queues[i];
if (vq == NULL)
continue;
rte_atomic32_set(&vq->allow_queuing, allow_queuing);
while (rte_atomic32_read(&vq->while_queuing))
rte_pause();
}

I think we will set the queue's allow_queuing, and the comment above says
we would wait while queue is bursting.
Why wait after atomic set rather than before aotmic set? Does the
rte_pause() loop means wait?

Best wishes!
