> These 2 patches adds 2 new functions that permits to initialize and use
> a rte_ring anywhere in memory.
> 
> 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()
