avoiding impact on vectorized implementation of the driver datapaths,
while evaluating performance gains of a better use of the first cache line.
- The deprecated unioned fields ``buf_physaddr`` and ``refcnt_atomic``
- (as explained below) will be removed in DPDK 20.11.
-
-* mbuf: ``refcnt_atomic`` member in structures ``rte_mbuf`` and
- ``rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info`` is of type ``rte_atomic16_t``.
- Due to adoption of C11 atomic builtins, the field ``refcnt_atomic``
- will be replaced with ``refcnt`` of type ``uint16_t`` in DPDK 20.11.
+ The deprecated unioned field ``buf_physaddr`` will be removed in DPDK 20.11.
* ethdev: Split the ``struct eth_dev_ops`` struct to hide it as much as possible
will be done in 20.11.
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* mbuf: Removed the unioned field ``refcnt_atomic`` from
+ the structures ``rte_mbuf`` and ``rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info``.
+ The field ``refcnt`` is remaining from the old unions.
+
* rawdev: Added a structure size parameter to the functions
``rte_rawdev_queue_setup()``, ``rte_rawdev_queue_conf_get()``,
``rte_rawdev_info_get()`` and ``rte_rawdev_configure()``,
* or non-atomic) is controlled by the CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_REFCNT_ATOMIC
* config option.
