Memorymanagement vs thread safety

[Szokovacs Robert]

Hello,


In may application, I use separate threads to process the packets 
received (write them to disk or respond to them). I could not confirm to 
myself that is is safe to free (using rte_pktmbuf_free
) the memory returned by rte_eth_rx_burst() from a different thread than 
the one it was called in.Anybody can help me with this?


Thank you!
