Olivier, Andrew (Memory pool maintainers) While reviewing documentation for the parameters to rte_mempool_create(), I noticed these two conflicting recommendations:
1. n (the number of elements in the pool) is advised to be a power of two minus one. 2. cache_size is advised to have "n modulo cache_size == 0". E.g. n could be 0xFFFF, but then n modulo any value cannot be 0. The cache_size parameter description tells what happens when not following the advice. The n parameter description should also tell what happens when not following the advice. Furthermore, the documentation for rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() and alike simply refer to the documentation for rte_mempool_create() regarding the cache_size parameter, although they copy the documentation regarding the n parameter. If the cache_size advice is important, it should be copied rather than simply referred to.
