Subject: [PATCH] test: fix soring build with LTO
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 18:04:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110020438.420106-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

With LTO, gcc inlines rte_soring_acquirx_bulk() into
test_soring_stages(). The element copy switches on the runtime
r->esize, so the 16-byte copy path stays live and gcc reports
-Wstringop-overflow writing into the 32 x uint32_t stack arrays.
That path is never taken since the ring is created with 4 byte
elements and metadata.

The diagnostic is emitted by lto1 at link time, so it cannot be
silenced from lib/ring. Disable it for the dpdk-test link only when
LTO is enabled with gcc; non-LTO builds are unchanged.

Bugzilla ID: 2101
Fixes: 70581c355d69 ("test/ring: add unit tests for soring API")
