[dpdk-dev] rte_malloc_heap usage scenario

[Yerden Zhumabekov]

Hello,

Can anybody explain why rte_malloc_heap.h is advertised as a public 
interface? It only contains malloc_heap struct which is used internally 
and violates DPDK naming conventions for public struct. I haven't found 
any use of it outside of EAL and it's undocumented. If it is in fact 
public, will it continue to be?

I'd like to use it (and some code in librte_eal/common) for region-based 
allocation in a secondary process for easy memory reclamation in case of 
failure. Is it safe to reuse malloc_heap struct?
