[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] KNI: use a memzone pool for KNI alloc/release

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi Marc,

2014-10-18 00:51, Marc Sune:
> This patch implements the KNI memzone pool in order to prevent
> memzone exhaustion when allocating/deallocating KNI interfaces.
> 
> It adds a new API call, rte_kni_init(max_kni_ifaces) that shall
> be called before any call to rte_kni_alloc() if KNI is used.
> 
> v2: Moved KNI fd opening to rte_kni_init(). Revised style.
> v3: Adapted kni examples/tests to rte_kni_init().
> v4: Improved example integration. Fixed kni_memzone_pool_alloc/release() bug.

Thanks for the good work with Helin.
Before applying this patch, I'd like another version explaining in the
commit log why this change is needed.
And please use to checkpatch.pl to check and remove whitespace errors.
