[dpdk-dev] Use rte_malloc in application

[Rohit Saini (Stellus)]

Hi,
I have a use case in my application where I need to implement my own memory manager, rather than doing malloc/free everytime to kernel.
Instead of writing my own memory manager, I am thinking to use dpdk rte_malloc or rte_mempool. Please let me know if this is a good idea.

Also,

my_node_t *data_ptr = (my_node_t *) (uintptr_t) rte_malloc(NULL, sizeof(my_node_t), 0);

data_ptr is pointing to some invalid memory.  Am I doing anything wrong here?


Thanks,
Rohit
