Before this patches, only rte_ring_create() was available. This function allocates a rte_memzone (that cannot be freed) and initializes a ring inside. This series allows to do the following: size = rte_ring_get_memsize(1024); r = malloc(size); rte_ring_init(r, "my_ring", 1024, 0); Changes included in v2: - fix syntax for functions definitions in rte_ring_get_memsize() - use RTE_ALIGN() to get nearest higher multiple of cache line size - fix description of rte_ring_init() in doxygen comments Olivier Matz (2): ring: introduce rte_ring_get_memsize() ring: introduce rte_ring_init() lib/librte_ring/rte_ring.c | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- lib/librte_ring/rte_ring.h | 67 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 119 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) -- 1.9.2
