[PATCH v6 0/4] mempool: fix mempool cache flushing algorithm

[Andrew Rybchenko]

v6 changes (Andrew Rybchenko):

- Fix spelling

v5 changes (Andrew Rybchenko):

- Factor out cosmetic fixes into separate patches to make all
  patches smaller and easier to review
- Remove extra check as per review notes
- Factor out entire cache flushing into a separate patch.
  It is nice from logical changes separation point of view,
  easier to bisect and revert.

v4 changes:

- Updated patch title to reflect that the scope of the patch is only
mempool cache flushing.

- Do not replace rte_memcpy() with alternative copying method. This was
a pure optimization, not a fix.

- Elaborate even more on the bugs fixed by the modifications.

- Added 4th bullet item to the patch description, regarding
rte_mempool_ops_enqueue_bulk() with RTE_LIBRTE_MEMPOOL_DEBUG.

v3 changes:

- Actually remove my modifications of the rte_mempool_cache structure.

v2 changes:

- Not adding the new objects to the mempool cache before flushing it
also allows the memory allocated for the mempool cache to be reduced
from 3 x to 2 x RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE.
However, such this change would break the ABI, so it was removed in v2.

- The mempool cache should be cache line aligned for the benefit of the
copying method, which on some CPU architectures performs worse on data
crossing a cache boundary.
However, such this change would break the ABI, so it was removed in v2;
and yet another alternative copying method replaced the rte_memcpy().

  mempool: check driver enqueue result in one place
  mempool: avoid usage of term ring on put
  mempool: flush cache completely on overflow
