This patch will add two new methods to allocate mempool > using external memory (regular or hugepage memory), and add documentation > about it to testpmd user guide. > > It adds a new flag "--mp-alloc", with four possible values: > native (use regular DPDK allocator), anon (use anonymous mempool), xmem > (use externally allocated memory area), and xmemhuge (use externally allocated > hugepage memory area). Old flag "--mp-anon" is kept for compatibility. > > All external memory is allocated using the same external heap, but each will > allocate and add a new memory area. > > Signed-off-by: Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.bura...@intel.com> > Suggested-by: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.anan...@intel.com>
