question about ofp_tcp_syncache

[Nesyan]

Hi,
I want to define a variable for counting received packets in ofp_tcp_syncache.c file.
how can I do that? Do I need to use a lock? how?

thanks in advance

For counters you can use ODP atomics instead of locks.

E.g.

	odp_atomic_u64_t pkt_count;
	uint64_t cur_pkt_count;

	odp_atomic_init_u64(&pkt_count, 0);

	odp_atomic_inc_u64(&pkt_count);

	cur_pkt_count = odp_atomic_load_u64(&pkt_count);
