Hi, inline int pop_circ_queue(struct ptr_ring * buffer, struct item * item_pop) { if (!ptr_ring_empty_any(buffer)) // if (not empty) { DEBUG_MSG(KERN_INFO "Before pop, head = %u , tail = %u\n", buffer->consumer_head, buffer->consumer_tail);
/* extract one item struct containing two unsigned integers from the buffer */ *item_pop = *((struct item *)ptr_ring_consume_any(buffer)); DEBUG_MSG(KERN_INFO "val1 = %u , val2 = %u\n", item_pop->val1, item_pop->val2); DEBUG_MSG(KERN_INFO "After pop, head = %u , tail = %u\n", buffer->consumer_head, buffer->consumer_tail); return 0; } else return 1; // empty, nothing to pop from the ring } > https://gist.github.com/promach/65e9331d55a43a2815239430a28e29c6#file-circ_ring-c-L44 > racy if there are multiple consumers. > just call ptr_ring_consume_any. > And it seems to leak the memory the pointer to which you > have consumed - although it's possible it's freed elsewhere - I will definitely just call ptr_ring_consume_any() without ptr_ring_empty_any() Which exact line has memory leak ? Are you referring to struct item * item_pop ? // TX (PC receive) scatter gather buffer is read. if (vect & (1<<((5*i)+1))) { recv = 1; item_recv_push[sc->recv[chnl]->msgs->producer].val1 = EVENT_SG_BUF_READ; item_recv_push[sc->recv[chnl]->msgs->producer].val2 = 0; // Keep track so the thread can handle this. if (push_circ_queue(sc->recv[chnl]->msgs, &item_recv_push[sc->recv[chnl]->msgs->producer])) { printk(KERN_ERR "riffa: fpga:%d chnl:%d, recv sg buf read msg queue full\n", sc->id, chnl); } DEBUG_MSG(KERN_INFO "riffa: fpga:%d chnl:%d, recv sg buf read\n", sc->id, chnl); } // TX (PC receive) transaction done. if (vect & (1<<((5*i)+2))) { recv = 1; item_recv_push[sc->recv[chnl]->msgs->producer].val1 = EVENT_TXN_DONE; item_recv_push[sc->recv[chnl]->msgs->producer].val2 = len; // Read the transferred amount. len = read_reg(sc, CHNL_REG(chnl, TX_TNFR_LEN_REG_OFF)); // Notify the thread. if (push_circ_queue(sc->recv[chnl]->msgs, &item_recv_push[sc->recv[chnl]->msgs->producer])) { printk(KERN_ERR "riffa: fpga:%d chnl:%d, recv txn done msg queue full\n", sc->id, chnl); } DEBUG_MSG(KERN_INFO "riffa: fpga:%d chnl:%d, recv txn done\n", sc->id, chnl); } > https://gist.github.com/promach/7716ee8addcaa33fda140d74d1ad94d6#file-riffa_driver-c-L663 > this one seems to poke at the internal producer index for its own > purposes. That's not something I expected when I built ptr_ring if I do not use ->producer in the above multiple (due to multiple if() clause) sequential push_circ_queue() operations, what else I can use other than ->producer to store the data for item_recv_push ? Probably a simple integer indexing will do. > https://i.imgur.com/xWJOH1G.png > I am having problem getting proper ptr_ring operation where one > ptr_ring entry (val1=2 for item_recv_pop) is missing from the void ** queue This "ptr_ring packet" drop does not make any sense to me.
