Thank you for your patch proposal. Do you still plan to submit a new version?

I think the description from
http://www.dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.html#known-issues
should be moved in rte_ring.h header.

Apologies for the late reply, have been on vacation.

I have a patch ready, it took time undergoing internal review, will send it out soon.

Thanks,
Olivier
