Sure.
I am really sorry for not being verbose enough.

From lib/librte_acl/rte_acl.h

#define RTE_ACL_RULE_DEF(name, fld_num) struct name {\
    struct rte_acl_rule_data data;               \
    struct rte_acl_field field[fld_num];         \
}

RTE_ACL_RULE_DEF(rte_acl_rule,);

When you put the definition in-place, above line means :

struct rte_acl_rule {
   struct rte_acl_rule_data data;
   struct rte_acl_field field[];
}

There is another define to get the size of an acl rule such as

#define RTE_ACL_RULE_SZ(fld_num)    \
    (sizeof(struct rte_acl_rule) + sizeof(struct rte_acl_field) * (fld_num))

So the above definition gets the size of a "struct rte_acl_rule" which has
fld_num fields.
which must be
*sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule_data) *+ (sizeof(struct rte_acl_field) *
fld_num)

Because it adds up the sizes of struct components;

But according to the current RTE_ACL_RULE_SZ, it is

*sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule)* + (sizeof(struct rte_acl_field) * fld_num)

So my patch only changes the part that I underlined.

sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule) = 16;
sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule_data) = 12;

Best,
Levend

Sure.
I am really sorry for not being verbose enough.

From lib/librte_acl/rte_acl.h

#define RTE_ACL_RULE_DEF(name, fld_num) struct name {\
    struct rte_acl_rule_data data;               \
    struct rte_acl_field field[fld_num];         \
}

RTE_ACL_RULE_DEF(rte_acl_rule,);

When you put the definition in-place, above line means :

struct rte_acl_rule {
   struct rte_acl_rule_data data;
   struct rte_acl_field field[];
}

[KA] Yes.

There is another define to get the size of an acl rule such as

#define RTE_ACL_RULE_SZ(fld_num)    \
    (sizeof(struct rte_acl_rule) + sizeof(struct rte_acl_field) * (fld_num))

So the above definition gets the size of a "struct rte_acl_rule" which has fld_num fields.
which must be
sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule_data) + (sizeof(struct rte_acl_field) * fld_num)

Because it adds up the sizes of struct components;

[KA] I don’t think so.
You forgot about possible gaps between members of rte_acl_rule.
Let say for 64 bit target it would be a 4B gap between ‘data’ and ‘field’.
So, for:
RTE_ACL_RULE_DEF(xz, 1);

sizeof(struct xz) == RTE_ACL_RULE_SZ(1) == 32

After changes you suggest
RTE_ACL_RULE_SZ(1) == 28 != sizeof(struct xz)
Which is wrong.

But according to the current RTE_ACL_RULE_SZ, it is

sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule) + (sizeof(struct rte_acl_field) * fld_num)

So my patch only changes the part that I underlined.

sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule) = 16;
sizeof (struct rte_acl_rule_data) = 12;

Best,
Levend

Could you provide some explanation:
What do you think is wrong with current version and why,
and what your fix does.

Yes you are totally right.
I overlooked the alignment of struct components.
Sorry for that.

But imho, not to have such confusions,

Another define can be added such as

#define RTE_ACL_RULE_SIZE(xz) sizeof(struct xz)

Thanks for your time.

Best,
Levend
