[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/8] Add stack library and new mempool handler

[Gage Eads]

This patchset introduces a stack library, supporting both lock-based and
lock-free stacks, and a lock-free stack mempool handler.

The lock-based stack code is derived from the existing stack mempool handler,
and that handler is refactored to use the stack library.

The lock-free stack mempool handler is intended for usages where the rte
ring's "non-preemptive" constraint is not acceptable; for example, if the
application uses a mixture of pinned high-priority threads and multiplexed
low-priority threads that share a mempool.

Note that the lock-free algorithm relies on a 128-bit compare-and-swap[1],
so it is currently limited to the x86_64 platform.

This patchset is the successor to a patchset containing only the new mempool
handler[2].

v4:
- Fix test_stack.c 32-bit build by using %zu format specifier for size_t
- Rebase onto master

v3:
- Rebase patchset onto master (test/test/ -> app/test/)
- Fix rte_stack_std_push() segfault introduced in v2

v2:
- Reworked structure and function naming to use rte_stack_{std, lf}_...
- Updated to the latest rte_atomic128_cmp_exchange() interface.
- Rename STACK_F_NB -> RTE_STACK_F_LF.
- Remove rte_rmb() and rte_wmb() from the generic push and pop implementations.
  These are obviated by rte_atomic128_cmp_exchange()'s two memorder arguments.
- Edit stack_lib.rst text to 80 chars/line.
- Fix rte_stack.h doxygen formatting.
- Allocate popped_objs array from the heap
- Fix stack_thread_push_pop bug ("&t->sz" -> "t->sz")
- Remove unnecessary NULL check from test_stack_basic
- Properly terminate the name string in test_stack_name_length
- Add an empty array of struct rte_nb_lifo_elem elements
- In rte_nb_lifo_push(), retrieve the last element from __nb_lifo_pop()
- Split C11 implementation into a separate patchset

Gage Eads (8):
  stack: introduce rte stack library
  mempool/stack: convert mempool to use rte stack
  test/stack: add stack test
  test/stack: add stack perf test
  stack: add lock-free stack implementation
  stack: add C11 atomic implementation
  test/stack: add lock-free stack tests
  mempool/stack: add lock-free stack mempool handler
