Hi Jerin, yes I knew this suggestion in update_tail.
But what I mean is the rte_smp_rmb() in __rte_ring_move_cons_head and 
__rte_ring_move_pros_head:
[option 1]
+        *old_head = r->cons.head;
+        rte_smp_rmb();
+        const uint32_t prod_tail = r->prod.tail;

[option 2]
+        *old_head = __atomic_load_n(&r->cons.head,
+                    __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE);
+        *old_head = r->cons.head;

ie.I wonder what is the suitable new config name to distinguish the 
above 2 options?
Thanks for the patience :-)

see my drafted patch below, the marcro "PREFER":
+        *available = entries - n;
+    return n;
+}
+
+#endif /* _RTE_RING_GENERIC_H_ */
+

Why?
If you fix the generic version with rte_smp_rmb() then we just need only
one config to differentiate between c11 vs generic. See comments below,

You can remove PREFER and let the "generic" version has this. For x86,
rte_smp_?mb() it will be NOOP. So no issue.

for c11 mem model version, it needs only __atomic_store_n version.

Duplicate function, No need to replicate on both versions.

adding rte_smp_rmb() no harm here as it is NOOP for x86 and it is
semantically correct too.

Hi Jerin

Thank you,

I mistakenly think x86 doen't need rte_smp_rmb().

Since rte_smp_rmb() only impact x86's compiler optimization, I will 
simplify the codes as your suggestions

Cheers,

Jia
