The purpose of this patch is to avoid the comparison here. Yes, it relies on the wrap to zero, and these conditions: 1. LCORE_ID_ANY being UINT32_MAX, and 2. the return type of rte_lcore_id() being unsigned int, and 3. unsigned int being uint32_t. When I wrote this, I considered it safe to assume that LCORE_ID_ANY will remain the unsigned equivalent of -1 using the return type of rte_lcore_id(). In other words: If the return type of rte_lcore_id() should change from 32 to 64 bit, LCORE_ID_ANY would be updated accordingly to UINT64_MAX. Because of this assumption, I didn't use [(rte_lcore_id() + 1) & UINT32_MAX], but just [rte_lcore_id() + 1]. I struggled writing an appropriate comment without making it unacceptably long, but eventually gave up, and settled for the one-line comment in the structure only. > > You anyways need a conditional.

I just took a look at how software maintained stats are handled elsewhere, and the first thing I found, is the IOAT DMA driver, which also seems to be using non-atomic increment [1] regardless if used by a DPDK thread or not. [1]: https://elixir.bootlin.com/dpdk/v22.11-rc2/source/drivers/dma/ioat/ioat_dmadev.c#L228 However, doing it wrong elsewhere doesn't make it correct doing it wrong here too. :-) Atomic increments are costly, so I would rather follow your suggestion and reintroduce the comparison. How about: #define RTE_MEMPOOL_STAT_ADD(mp, name, n) do { \ unsigned int __lcore_id = rte_lcore_id(); \ if (likely(__lcore_id < RTE_MAX_LCORE)) { \ (mp)->stats[__lcore_id].name += n; \ } else { rte_atomic64_add( \ (rte_atomic64_t*)&((mp)->stats[RTE_MAX_LCORE].name), n);\ } \ } And the structure comment could be: * Plus one, for non-DPDK threads.
