Hi.
The new timer RFC ("htimer") I submitted last year also included a new
bitset API.
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230315170342.214127-2-mattias.ronnb...@ericsson.com/
My experience is that multi-word bitsets are often useful. Examples from
DPDK are rte_service.c and DSW its "service ports" bitset (both have 64
as a hard upper limit). Small, but multi-word, bitsets are not
particularly hard to open-code, but then you end up with a lot of
duplication.
I wanted to ask if there is an interest in seeing a bitset API (as per
my patchset) in DPDK.
Upstreaming htimer, including having it replace today's rte_timer is
more work than I can commit to, so I think you won't get RTE bitset that
way any time soon.
Regards,
Mattias
