[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] mempool: reduce rte_mempool structure size

Keith Wiles keith.wiles at intel.com
Tue Feb 9 18:30:06 CET 2016


Patch v2 to add some comments and setup for RTE_NEXT_ABI changes.

The rte_mempool structure is changed, which will cause an ABI change
for this structure. Providing backward compat is not reasonable
here as this structure is used in multiple defines/inlines.

Allow mempool cache support to be dynamic depending on if the
mempool being created needs cache support. Saves about 1.5M of
memory used by the rte_mempool structure.

Allocating small mempools which do not require cache can consume
larges amounts of memory if you have a number of these mempools.
