[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] mbuf: use C11 atomic built-ins for refcnt operations

[Phil Yang]

Use C11 atomic built-ins with explicit ordering instead of rte_atomic
ops which enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

v3:
1.Fix ABI breakage.
2.Simplify data type cast.

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