  Some toolchain has fls() definition in string.h as argument type int,
which is conflicting uint32_t argument type.

/export/dpdk.org/lib/librte_eal/common/rte_reciprocal.c:47:19:
error: conflicting types for ‘fls’
 static inline int fls(uint32_t x)
                  ^~~

/opt/marvell-tools-201/aarch64-marvell-elf/include/strings.h:59:6:
note: previous declaration of ‘fls’ was here
 int  fls(int) __pure2;

FreeBSD string.h also has fls() with argument as int type.
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fls&sektion=3

Fixing the conflict by renaming internal function as __fls

Why not rte_fls? Would it be more future proof?

Agreed. There are two instance of fls in dpdk code base now,

1) lib/librte_eal/common/rte_reciprocal.c takes uint32_t
2) drivers/net/fm10k/fm10k_ethdev.c has macro, used with uint16_t as
argument.

Should we make it as macro or follow libc prototype where argument is
int.

Something like below,

static inline int
rte_fls(int x)
{
	return (x == 0) ? 0 : sizeof(x) * 8 - __builtin_clz(x);
}

I tend to think that using uint32_t parameter would be more useful in DPDK.
