Hi, (Apologies for overly-eager email sent on this thread earlier. Will be more careful in future).
This is more of a question/clarification than a comment. (And I have taken only some snippets from original mail to keep it cleaner) <snip> > +MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS(ops_mp_mc); > +MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS(ops_sp_sc); > +MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS(ops_mp_sc); > +MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS(ops_sp_mc); <snip> >From the above what I understand is that multiple packet pool handlers can be >created. I have a use-case where application has multiple pools but only the packet pool is hardware backed. Using the hardware for general buffer requirements would prove costly. >From what I understand from the patch, selection of the pool is based on the >flags below. <snip> > + /* > + * Since we have 4 combinations of the SP/SC/MP/MC examine the flags to > + * set the correct index into the table of ops structs. > + */ > + if (flags & (MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT | MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET)) > + rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_sp_sc"); > + else if (flags & MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT) > + rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_sp_mc"); > + else if (flags & MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET) > + rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_mp_sc"); > + else > + rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "ring_mp_mc"); > + Is there any way I can achieve the above use case of multiple pools which can be selected by an application - something like a run-time toggle/flag? - Shreyansh
