Hello, I was trying to find out the status of the mempool rework and found this 36-pieces long patch set:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-April/037464.html (I failed to apply it to 16.04, 2.1.0, current HEAD.) and some bits around: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-May/038390.html http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-April/037509.html http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-April/037457.html http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-April/036979.html ...but I am confused. I am trying to find out how to write a custom memory pool based on the uio_dmem_genirq driver. It provides DMA memory via the UIO API (maps). If I have a PMD running of top of this UIO, I need to implement a custom allocator that gets memory from the dev->mem_resource (with the mappings preloaded from the UIO by EAL). This is related to the SoC infra as given here: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-May/038486.html Any idea how to start with this?
