Subject: [wishes/any Bug 2054] Mempool of headerless objects
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 16:08:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-2054-3@https.bugs.dpdk.org/> (raw)
https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2054
Bug ID: 2054
Summary: Mempool of headerless objects
Product: wishes
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: any
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: mb@smartsharesystems.com
Target Milestone: ---
A mempool may be used for holding relatively small objects used only for
software purposes, e.g. connection tracking.
The current mempool per-object header is 24 bytes in size. This is wasting a
lot of memory when used with large pools of small objects.
I propose a mempool flag to create a mempool of objects without a mempool
header.
Features relying on the mempool header will be unavailable for such a mempool,
most prominently iteration over all objects in the mempool.
