Subject: [RFC 01/32] bpf: replace deprecated SMP barriers with C11 fences
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:53:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729175715.165120-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729175715.165120-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

The use counter handshake is a store-load pattern, so rte_smp_mb()
becomes a seq_cst thread fence; the read barrier in
bpf_eth_cbi_unuse() becomes an acquire fence. Same code generated
on x86 and arm64.

Use relaxed loads and stores for the counter itself. With
enable_stdatomic, the plain increment of an RTE_ATOMIC() field
compiled to a seq_cst add, i.e. two locked operations per burst.
