  rte_ring implementation needs explicit memory barrier
in weakly ordered architecture like ARM unlike
strongly ordered architecture like X86

Introducing RTE_ARCH_STRONGLY_ORDERED_MEM_OPS
configuration to abstract such dependency so that other
weakly ordered architectures can reuse this infrastructure.

Do we need to have all these #ifdef, it looks messy, can you not define 
a macro that is defined based upon

  
RTE_ARCH_STRONGLY_ORDERED_MEM_OP

Looks a bit clumsy.

Make sense. Do we agree on a macro that is defined based upon
RTE_ARCH_STRONGLY_ORDERED_MEM_OP to remove clumsy #ifdef every where ?

Yes to the single-defined barrier macro.
However, for what controls it, is it really worthwhile defining a new RTE_ variable for it? Can we not base it on RTE_ARCH directly?

Why do we need that macro at all?
Why just not have architecture specific macro as was discussed in that thread?

So for intel somewhere inside
lib/librte_eal/common/include/arch/x86/rte_atomic.h 

it would be:

#define rte_smp_wmb()	rte_compiler_barrier()

For arm inside lib/librte_eal/common/include/arch/x86/rte_atomic.h

#define rte_smp_wmb()	rte_wmb()

And so on.

I think it was already an attempt (not finished) to do similar stuff for ppc:

I am not sure about the other architecture but in armv8 device memory
(typically mapped through NIC PCIe BAR space) are strongly ordered.
So there is one more dimension to the equation(normal memory or device
memory).
IMO rte_smp_wmb() -> rte_wmb() mapping to deal with device memory may
not be correct on arm64 ?

Thoughts ?

In cases like that I don't think barriers are needed on any platform so the proposed scheme will work fine. It's up the driver writer to know about when they are writing to device BARs or not.

I thought we are talking now for multi-processor case no?
For that would be: rte_smp_... set of macros.
Similar to what linux guys have.
