Hi Anatoly, 21/09/2018 18:13, Anatoly Burakov:
This is a proposal to enable using externally allocated memory in DPDK.
About this change and previous ones, I think we may miss some documentation about the usage and the internal design of the DPDK memory allocation. You already updated some doc recently: http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=b31739328 This is what we have currently: http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.html#memory-segments-and-memory-zones-memzone http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.html#malloc http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/mempool_lib.html This is probably a good time to check this doc again. Do you think it deserves more explanations, or maybe some figures?
