Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] lpm: fix unchecked return value

Hi Ruifeng,

Hi Vladimir,

Coverity complains about unchecked return value of
rte_rcu_qsbr_dq_enqueue.
By default, defer queue size is big enough to hold all tbl8 groups.
When enqueue fails, return error to the user to indicate system issue.

Coverity issue: 360832
Fixes: 8a9f8564e9f9 ("lpm: implement RCU rule reclamation")

This will change rte_lpm_delete API. As a suggestion, you can leave it as it
was before ("return 0"), and send separate patch (with "return status)"
which will be targeted to 20.11.


Is the change of API  because a variable is returned instead of constant?
The patch passed ABI check on Travis: 
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2020-July/144864.html
So I didn't know there is API/ABI issue.


Because new error status codes are returned. At the moment rte_lpm_delete() returns only -EINVAL. After patches it will also returns -ENOSPC. The user's code may not handle this returned error status.

On the other hand, from documentation about returned value:
"0 on success, negative value otherwise",
and given the fact that this behavior is only after calling rte_lpm_rcu_qsbr_add(), I think we can accept this patch.
Bruce, please correct me.


Thanks.
