( https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmocore/+/36538?usp=email ) Change subject: add osmo_stats_report_lock api ...................................................................... Patch Set 2: (1 comment) Patchset: PS2: For this one, my aim was to say that osmo-trx is doing it that way, not that you should do it that way. If you plan on keep the mutex locked while you gather counters from nft, that's a no go for me, you are locking access to rate_ctr/stat for a long period of time, most probably blocking the main thread also for the same amount of time. If you plan to gather counters locally, then lock() then update/copy them to rate_ctr/stats then unlock(), this can be more acceptable and it's basically the option mentioned first quoted in this comment. Still, I think it's better going for osmo_itq to avoid problems accessing rate_ctr infrastructure (llist, etc.) which means you'd need to lock() unlock() everytime you want to update a metric, which is overkill. -- To view, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmocore/+/36538?usp=email To unsubscribe, or for help writing mail filters, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/settings Gerrit-Project: libosmocore Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Change-Id: Ib335bea7d2a440ca284e6c439066f96456bf2c2d Gerrit-Change-Number: 36538 Gerrit-PatchSet: 2 Gerrit-Owner: neels <nhofmeyr(a)sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins Builder Gerrit-Reviewer: fixeria <vyanitskiy(a)sysmocom.de> Gerrit-CC: laforge <laforge(a)osmocom.org> Gerrit-CC: pespin <pespin(a)sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Attention: neels <nhofmeyr(a)sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Attention: laforge <laforge(a)osmocom.org> Gerrit-Attention: fixeria <vyanitskiy(a)sysmocom.de> Gerrit-Comment-Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2024 08:38:06 +0000 Gerrit-HasComments: Yes Gerrit-Has-Labels: No Comment-In-Reply-To: neels <nhofmeyr(a)sysmocom.de> Comment-In-Reply-To: laforge <laforge(a)osmocom.org> Comment-In-Reply-To: pespin <pespin(a)sysmocom.de> Gerrit-MessageType: comment
