[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/4] test: change memory barrier variables to uint64_t

David Christensen drc at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon May 6 21:23:54 CEST 2019


Memory barrier failures can be intermittent. Increase the size of the
sum/val/iteration variables to allow tests that can run for days so that
sporadic errors can be identified.

v2:
* Removed change to ITER_MAX
