[dpdk-dev] Using rte_ring_mp_xyz() across EAL and non-EAL threads ?

[Gopakumar Choorakkot Edakkunni]

rte_ring_create() needs a socket-id though and seems to be allocating
core-specific memory pools for the ring ? But my non-EAL app thread is
not bound to any core, so now I am wondering if that will work.

Rgds,
