Hi Anatoly,
We'd appreciate your input so we can come to a solution of supporting
the necessary memory allocations?
Hi Scott,
I'm currently starting to work on a prototype that will be at least
RFC'd (if not v1'd) during 18.08 timeframe. Basically, the idea is to
create/destroy named malloc heaps dynamically, and allow user to
request memory from them. You may then mmap() whatever you want and
create a malloc heap out of it.
Does that sound reasonable?
Hi Anatoly,
We have a solution right now that requires a kernel driver to allocate
large contiguous memory and the DPDK changes in the patch. We would like
to come to a common upstreamed solution as soon as possible. So please
send out the patch as soon as you can and we can test/comment on it. I
would hope this is a simple addition and shouldn't take long to come to
an acceptable implementation. We need this change for DPDK to operate
on our devices.
Thanks,
Scott
