[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] nfp: avoiding concurrency when hardware reconfig

Some apps calling some functions from different threads at the
same time could lead to reconfig problems. Reconfig mechanism is
based on a hardware queue where incrementing a counter signals the
firmware to do the reconfig. If there are two increments before the
first one has been processed the firmware will stop and a device
reset is necessary.
