SC/SP configuration.

Hi Mattias,


Thanks for your patch, a few notes;

1)
You can CC the maintainer of a section - the event rings falls under
the eventdev library, and Jerin Jacob is the maintainer.


2)
In DPDK we note patches that are "Fixes",
so we can track what commit they fix. Fixes patches are
also often candidates for backporting.

Details on getting the fixes line here:
https://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/patches.html#commit-messages-body

For this patch, the following is the fixline:

The signature of update_tail() is as follows:

static __rte_always_inline void
update_tail(struct rte_ring_headtail *ht, uint32_t old_val, uint32_t new_val,
		uint32_t single, uint32_t enqueue)

It seems to be that the 2nd last parameter sets the single/multi producer?

The value that has been changed in this patch is the enqueue or dequeue parameter, which changes the type of memory barrier that is used..


Please review this code, and you can post a V2 of the patch in reply to this one (see contrib guidelines above for details).


Regards, -Harry

Thanks for your help. I'll resubmit and try to get the administrative 
details correct.

Yes, you are right. I ported this fix from my 17.08 tree, and 
update_tail() has changed since then - something I failed to notice.

I reproduced the issue on 17.08, and even on a machine with a strong 
memory model, the event ring doesn't work correctly in a MP/SC 
configuration. With the fix, it at least passes my tests on 17.08. I 
didn't try MP/MC, and I also didn't try anything beyond building on HEAD.

Regards,
	Mattias
