The freelist and external bucket indices are 32b. Using rings
that use 32b element sizes will save memory.

This triggers a warning in ABI checks:

1 function with some indirect sub-type change:

  [C]'function int32_t rte_hash_add_key(const rte_hash*, void*)' at
rte_cuckoo_hash.c:1118:1 has some indirect sub-type changes:
    parameter 1 of type 'const rte_hash*' has sub-type changes:
      in pointed to type 'const rte_hash':
        in unqualified underlying type 'struct rte_hash' at
rte_cuckoo_hash.h:160:1:
          type size hasn't changed
          1 data member change:
           type of 'lcore_cache* rte_hash::local_free_slots' changed:
             in pointed to type 'struct lcore_cache' at rte_cuckoo_hash.h:125:1:
               type size changed from 4608 to 2560 (in bits)
               1 data member change:
                type of 'void* lcore_cache::objs[64]' changed:
                  array element type 'void*' changed:
                    entity changed from 'void*' to 'typedef uint32_t'
at stdint-uintn.h:26:1
                    type size changed from 64 to 32 (in bits)
                  type name changed from 'void*[64]' to 'uint32_t[64]'
                  array type size changed from 4096 to 2048
                and offset changed from 64 to 32 (in bits) (by -32 bits)

As far as I can see, the local_free_slots field in rte_hash is
supposed to be internal and should just be hidden from users.
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:              h->local_free_slots =
rte_zmalloc_socket(NULL,
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:              rte_free(h->local_free_slots);
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:                      cached_cnt +=
h->local_free_slots[i].len;
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:
h->local_free_slots[i].len = 0;
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:              cached_free_slots =
&h->local_free_slots[lcore_id];
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:              cached_free_slots =
&h->local_free_slots[lcore_id];
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.c:              cached_free_slots =
&h->local_free_slots[lcore_id];
lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.h:      struct lcore_cache *local_free_slots;

Not sure how users could make use of this.
But the abi check flags this as a breakage since this type was exported.

I can see three options:
- we stick to our "no abi breakage" policy, this change is postponed
to the next ABI breakage, and at the same time, we hide this type and
inspect the rest of the rte_hash API to avoid new issues in the
future,
- we duplicate structures and API by using function versioning to keep
the exact rte_hash v20.0 ABI and a v20.0.1 ABI with the resized and
cleaned structures,
- we override the ABI freeze here by ruling that this was an internal
structure that users should not access (ugh..)

Seeing how this is an optimisation, my preference goes to the first option.

I think this is a false positive.

Users include 'rte_hash.h' file which does not define the structure. It just has the declaration 'struct rte_hash'. The actual structure is defined in 'rte_cuckoo_hash.h'. But this is not included by the user. So, the application does not have visibility into 'struct rte_hash' as defined in 'rte_cuckoo_hash.h'.

The 'rte_create_hash' API returns a pointer to the 'struct rte_hash'. All the APIs are non-inline and just take this pointer as the argument. So, the 'struct rte_hash' as defined in 'rte_cuckoo_hash.h' is not used by the user.

You can take a look at test_hash_readwrite_lf.c and function 'check_bucket'. This function is written as the test case cannot access the 'struct rte_hash' from 'rte_cuckoo_hash.h'.

Indeed, it seems properly hidden.
Scratching the rest of the mail.

Looked at abidiff, I can see it takes a public headers directory to
filter the ABI changes.
Need to make this work.

[Wang, Yipeng] 
Hi, Honnappa, I read the new API defs and this patch to rte_hash looks good to me.
Passed unit tests as well.
And I agree with you that the internals of rte_hash is hidden from users.
As long as the false warning in abi-check script is no concern:
