Is there a need to assign a value to *new_head if n==0?
I don't think your suggestion is multi-thread safe.
If d->head moves, the value in *new_head will be incorrect.
Instead, suggest:
- if (n == 0)
- return 0;
*new_head = *old_head + n;
if (is_st) {
d->head = *new_head;
success = 1;
} else
/* on failure, *old_head is updated */
success = rte_atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit(
&d->head, old_head, *new_head,
rte_memory_order_relaxed,
rte_memory_order_relaxed);
} while (unlikely(success == 0));
