[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 63/68] eal: enable callbacks on malloc/free and mp sync

Anatoly Burakov anatoly.burakov at intel.com
Wed Apr 4 01:22:15 CEST 2018


Callbacks will be triggered just after allocation and just
before deallocation, to ensure that memory address space
referenced in the callback is always valid by the time
callback is called.
