[v1,4/7] power: remove thread safety from PMD power API's
Checks
Commit Message
Currently, we expect that only one callback can be active at any given
moment, for a particular queue configuration, which is relatively easy
to implement in a thread-safe way. However, we're about to add support
for multiple queues per lcore, which will greatly increase the
possibility of various race conditions.
We could have used something like an RCU for this use case, but absent
of a pressing need for thread safety we'll go the easy way and just
mandate that the API's are to be called when all affected ports are
stopped, and document this limitation. This greatly simplifies the
`rte_power_monitor`-related code.

I think you need to update RN too with that.
Another thing - do you really need the whole port stopped?
From what I understand - you work on queues, so it is enough for you
that related RX queue is stopped.
So, to make things a bit more robust, in pmgmt_queue_enable/disable
you can call rte_eth_rx_queue_info_get() and check queue state.

We work on queues, but the data is per-lcore not per-queue, and it is
potentially used by multiple queues, so checking one specific queue is
not going to be enough. We could check all queues that were registered
so far with the power library, maybe that'll work better?

Yep, that's what I mean: on queue_enable() check is that queue stopped or not.
If not, return -EBUSY/EAGAIN or so/

I think it's still better that all queues are stopped, rather than
trying to work around the inherently racy implementation. So while i'll
add the queue stopped checks, i'll still remove all of the thread safety
stuff from here.

That's fine by me, all I asked for here - an extra check to make sure the queue is really stopped.
