Hello David,

(I wanted to reply to the 0/6 patch but I couldn't find it anywhere in
mbox format, nor on gmane which is strange.)

I could see both versions of the patch series quickly. I've got only
one question at the moment. Would it be possible to somehow integrate
calls to the dma_map/unmap_* interface of the kernel? I think, this is
possible to be implemented through the vfio iommu group zero (hope so).

The issue is that without being able to explicitly flush buffers before
a DMA transmission, it is not easily possible to use the mempool
manager on most ARMv7 chips. Well, it can be done by calling
dma_alloc_coherent and pass this memory into the mempool manager. But
such memory is very slow (it is, say, non-cacheable).

Regards
Jan

> memory.
> + * Its size is set to n elements.
> + * All elements of the mempool are allocated separately to the mempool 
> header.
> + *
> + * @param name
> + *   The name of the mempool.
> + * @param n
> + *   The number of elements in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of
> + *   memory usage) for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one:
> + *   n = (2^q - 1).
> + * @param cache_size
> + *   If cache_size is non-zero, the rte_mempool library will try to
> + *   limit the accesses to the common lockless pool, by maintaining a
> + *   per-lcore object cache. This argument must be lower or equal to
> + *   CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE and n / 1.5. It is advised to choose
> + *   cache_size to have "n modulo cache_size == 0": if this is
> + *   not the case, some elements will always stay in the pool and will
> + *   never be used. The access to the per-lcore table is of course
> + *   faster than the multi-producer/consumer pool. The cache can be
> + *   disabled if the cache_size argument is set to 0; it can be useful to
> + *   avoid losing objects in cache. Note that even if not used, the
> + *   memory space for cache is always reserved in a mempool structure,
> + *   except if CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is set to 0.
> + * @param private_data_size
> + *   The size of the private data appended after the mempool
> + *   structure. This is useful for storing some private data after the
> + *   mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for example.
> + * @param mp_init
> + *   A function pointer that is called for initialization of the pool,
> + *   before object initialization. The user can initialize the private
> + *   data in this function if needed. This parameter can be NULL if
> + *   not needed.
> + * @param mp_init_arg
> + *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used in the mempool
> + *   constructor function.
> + * @param obj_init
> + *   A function pointer that is called for each object at
> + *   initialization of the pool. The user can set some meta data in
> + *   objects if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed.
> + *   The obj_init() function takes the mempool pointer, the init_arg,
> + *   the object pointer and the object number as parameters.
> + * @param obj_init_arg
> + *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used as an argument for
> + *   each call to the object constructor function.
> + * @param socket_id
> + *   The *socket_id* argument is the socket identifier in the case of
> + *   NUMA. The value can be *SOCKET_ID_ANY* if there is no NUMA
> + *   constraint for the reserved zone.
> + * @param flags
> + * @return
> + *   The pointer to the new allocated mempool, on success. NULL on error
