These changes are aligned to improvements suggested in the RFC https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-November/120035.html. +* 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 it will be of type ``uint16_t``. ``refcnt_atomic`` + will be removed in 20.11. It will be replaced with ``refcnt`` of type + ``uint16_t``. + * metrics: The function ``rte_metrics_init`` will have a non-void return in order to notify errors instead of calling ``rte_exit``.
