[dpdk-dev] Bit spinlocks in DPDK

[Pashupati Kumar]

I am looking for spinlocks that use a single bit (bit 31) of a 32 bit word for locking. The rest of the bits in the word are left undisturbed.  This enables more compact data structures as only 1 bit is consumed for the lock.

Thanks
Pash

Not sure to understand your request.
Are you looking for that?
