[dpdk-dev] Question about memzone failure problem.

[Wiles, Keith]

I was creating a rte_ring and got a message ‘RING: Cannot reserve memory’ I track it down to me trying create a ring using the same name as another ring. The question is I tracked down the problem and in the eal_common_memzone.c file I noticed the message for the problem was using DEBUG in the log message and I think it should be ERR. Should it be ERR instead of DEBUG, if so I will send a patch?

diff --git a/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memzone.c b/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memzone.c
