The rte_mempool_get_bulk() documentation says: "If cache is enabled, objects will be retrieved first from cache, subsequently from the common pool."
But __mempool_generic_get() only uses the cache if the request is smaller than the cache size. If not, objects will be retrieved from the common pool only. Either the documentation should be corrected, or the implementation should behave as described, i.e. retrieve the first of the objects from the cache and the remaining objects from the common pool. PS: I stumbled into this while writing the unit test for mbuf bulk alloc/free. PPS: It seems unit tests for mempool bulk alloc/free are missing. :-) Med venlig hilsen / kind regards - Morten Brørup
