Subject: Re: [Internet]Re: [PATCH v6] acl: support custom memory allocators
Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2025 10:30:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ACCDEF5FF0444B4A+74e02010-42f4-4b59-bb14-66aeccfe9bfd@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251208112916.2743f596@phoenix.local>
Just to add some background on how ACL currently allocates memory:
ACL has two types of allocations:
1. The memory used for the ACL match trie is NUMA-aware.
This part relies on specific NUMA placement, so replacing rte_malloc
with
regular malloc/free is not feasible.
2. The temporary memory used during the build phase already uses
malloc/free,
since NUMA locality is not required there.
