> The error value returned by rte_ring_create_elem() should be positive
> integers. However, if the rte_ring_get_memsize_elem() function fails,
> a negative number is returned and is directly used as the return value.
> As a result, this will cause the external call to check the return
> value to fail(like called by rte_mempool_create()).
