NOTE: this set depends on the v2 cleanup set sent previously. http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-February/thread.html#58200
This patchset make a set of, sometimes non-backward compatible, cleanup changes to the rte_ring code in order to improve it. The resulting code is shorter, since the existing functions are restructured to reduce code duplication, as well as being more consistent in behaviour. The specific changes made are explained in each patch which makes that change. This patchset is largely the same as that posted previously on-list as an RFC: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-February/thread.html#56982 Changes in V1 from RFC: * Included release notes updates as changes are made in each patch * Fixed some missed comment updates when changing the code * Separated some initial fixup patches from this set to send separately * Dropped the final two patches for an rte_event_ring, as not relevant for this set. That can be done as a separate set later. * The macros for copying the pointers have an extra parameter added, indicating the start of the ring buffer itself. This allows more flexibility for reusing them in other ring implementations.
