[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] mbuf: use C11 atomics for refcnt operations

Phil Yang phil.yang at arm.com
Tue Jul 7 12:10:33 CEST 2020


Use C11 atomics with explicit ordering instead of rte_atomic ops which
enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

v2:
Fix ABI issue: revert the rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info struct refcnt field
to refcnt_atomic.
