Hi Maxime,
Why would we change this here and now? Is the intent not to use new suggested
semantics for new patches only?
Are all DPDK drivers being changed?
I am unsure we would want to change these drivers, this is kind of risk
introduced by code churn that gets ecosystem unwilling to move to latest
version.
These memory barriers issues are awful to troubleshoot or properly validate, so
personally quite reluctant to change.
Thanks
Nic
