[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net/mlx4: support externally allocated static memory

2018-09-24 Thread Yongseok Koh
When MLX PMD registers memory for DMA, it accesses the global memseg list of DPDK to maximize the range of registration so that LKey search can be more efficient. Granularity of MR registration is per page. Externally allocated memory shouldn't be used for DMA because it can't be searched in the m
