+The expected workflow is as follows:

+* Get a pointer to memory area
+* Create a named heap
+* Add memory area(s) to the heap

+ * Other processes must attach to the memory area before they can use

+* Get socket ID used for the heap
+* Use normal DPDK allocation procedures, using supplied socket ID
+* If memory area is no longer needed, it can be removed from the heap
+ * Other processes must detach from this memory area before it can be

Hi Anatoly,
Im getting an error when doing
make-doc-guides-html
/dpdk/doc/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.rst:241: WARNING: Unexpected
indentation.
/dpdk/doc/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.rst:242: WARNING: Block quote
ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
This is due to the indentation of your inner bullet points instead of two
spaces put 4
For all four that you have.
Thanks,
Marko K
Hi Marko,
Those are supposed to be sub-bullet points, i.e. 2nd level. Does it have
to be six?
