[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] ring: introduce rte_ring_init()

Fri May 9 12:14:53 CEST 2014


Allow to initialize a ring in an already allocated memory. The rte_ring_create()
function that allocates a ring in a rte_memzone is still available and now uses
the new rte_ring_init() function in order to factorize the code.
