svm_fifo rework to avoid contention on cursize
Problems Addressed: - Contention of cursize by producer and consumer. - Reduce the no of modulo operations. Changes: - Synchronization between producer and consumer changed from cursize to head and tail indexes Implications: reduces the usable size of fifo by 1. - Using weaker memory ordering C++11 atomics to access head and tail based on producer and consumer role. - Head and tail indexes are unsigned 32 bit integers. Additions and subtraction on them are implicit 32 bit Modulo operation. - Adding weaker memory ordering variants of max_enq, max_deq, is_empty and is_full Using them appropriately in all places. Perfomance improvement (iperf3 via Hoststack): iperf3 Server: Marvell ThunderX2(AArch64) - iperf3 Client: Skylake(x86) ~6%(256 rxd/txd) - ~11%(2048 rxd/txd) Change-Id: I1d484e000e437430fdd5a819657d1c6b62443018 Signed-off-by: Sirshak Das <sirshak.das@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Honnappa Nagarahalli <honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com>
