[dpdk-dev] RTE Ring removing

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

Hi Oliver,
Just to clarify about mempool - I suppose you are talking about ability to place internal ring and mempool metadata inside externally allocated memory?
It is already possible to keep mempool elements inside externally allocated memory (rte_mempool_xmem_create()).

No, that's not something I'm working on today.

On this topic, I have some work in progress in the rte_mempool code.
I'll submit it here as soon as it is ready, I'm not sure it will be
finished before the end of the 1.7.0 integration window.
