[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] drivers/net: Fix in i40e HW rings memory overlap

[Zhao1, Wei]

Hi, Renata Saiakhova

   I think this patch is very important, It seems all kind of NIC has memory leak problem that used for store
Tx or rx descriptor. If that is true, memory point by rxq-> rx_ring/ txq-> tx_ring will never be freed even if dev_close? 
Is my understanding right or wrong?

If that is true, it seems you should also add in functioni40e_fdir_teardown(), because
Tx_ring allocated in i40e_fdir_setup_tx_resources() also need freed, and memzones need to be delete.
Is that so?

Thanks.
