[PATCH 1/3] eal/arm64: remove the braces {} for dmb(), dsb()

[PATCH 1/3] eal/arm64: remove the braces {} for dmb(), dsb()

[Jia He]

for the code as follows:
if (condition)
	rte_smp_rmb();
else
	rte_smp_wmb();
Without this patch, compiler will report this error:
error: 'else' without a previous 'if'

[PATCH 2/3] ring: guarantee load ordering of cons/prod when doing enqueue/dequeue

[Jia He]

We watched a rte panic of mbuf_autotest in our qualcomm arm64 server.
As for the possible race condition, please refer to [1].

Furthermore, to fix this race, there are 2 options as suggested by Jerin:
1. use rte_smp_rmb
2. use load_acquire/store_release(refer to [2]).
CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL is provided, and by
default it is "y" only on arm64.

The reason why providing 2 options is due to the performance benchmark
difference in different arm machines, please refer to [3].

Already fuctionally tested on the machines as follows:
- on X86
- on arm64 with CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=y
- on arm64 with CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=n

We haven't tested the ppc64 case. If anyone verifies it, he can add
CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL=y to ppc64 config files.

Changelog:
V3: arch specific implementation for enqueue/dequeue barrier
V2: let users choose whether using load_acquire/store_release
V1: rte_smp_rmb() between 2 loads

It is the V3 patch and subject line does not reflect that. 
If you send a new version of a patch or series, you must use
--in-reply-to with message id of previous version.

Please split this patches into three:
- Your original fix
- Introduce rte_ring_generic.h and move the common function to that file
- Introduce CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL and move C11 memory
  implementation to lib/librte_ring/rte_ring_c11_mem.h

As a nit you can use __rte_unused parameter attribute or
RTE_SET_USED() macro here.

Need to remove the trailing ";" I too I think.
Alternatively, to keep the braces, the standard practice is to use
do { ... } while(0)

If trailing ";" is not removed
the code:
if (condition)
     rte_smp_rmb();
else
     anything();

will be like below after precompiling:
if (condition)
     asm volatile("dsb " "ld" : : : "memory");;
else
     anything();
Then, the same error - error: 'else' without a previous 'if'

If you choose do/while(0), yes, no errors from compiler.
But the checkpatch will report

WARNING: Single statement macros should not use a do {} while (0) loop
#11: FILE: lib/librte_eal/common/include/arch/arm/rte_atomic_64.h:46:
+#define dsb(opt) do { asm volatile("dsb " #opt : : : "memory"); } while (0)

I searched the kernel codes, the marco dsb() didn't use the do/while(0).
Which one do you think is better for dpdk?

Cheers,
Jia

Ignore my words above，thanks
sorry for the inconvenience.
And I've sent out v4 in this mail thread. The ";" has been removed.
If no more comments, I will send out v5 (2 patch sets for 17 and 18)

Sorry, why not use two different functions as your conditions passed in
are fixed in the calling functions.

Do you mean to split update_tail() into update_tail_enqueue() and

Yes. So it's not need to change dsb/dmb.

That's a good idea - but you still might hit the same problem in 
Some different place in future...
Why not to convert these macros into 'always_inline' functions then?

I think there is no any issue if we add {} for if/else sections.

-       if (enqueue)
+       if (enqueue) {
                rte_smp_wmb();
-       else
+       } else {
                rte_smp_rmb();
+       }

It's not a good way to ommit {}.

That's the preferred DPDK coding style these days :)
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides-16.04/contributing/coding_style.html
1.6.2. Control Statements and Loops

Include a space after keywords (if, while, for, return, switch).
Do not use braces ({ and }) for control statements with zero or just a single statement, unless that statement is more than a single line in which case the braces are permitted.

It makes things more complex
opt needs to be redefined with types
such as : __attribute__((always_inline)) void dsb( char* opt)
and the input paramenter shoud be
#define sy "sy"
#define ld "ld"

And the "#" in asm codes needs to be considerred more.

IMO, the kernel way is simple and clean, isn't it?
#define dmb(opt) asm volatile("dmb " #opt : : : "memory")
Another choice is adding the do/while.

@Ananyev @Jianbo
Any thoughts?
