[dpdk-stable] patch 'malloc: fix documentation of realloc function' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.2

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/24/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] malloc: fix documentation of realloc function

[ upstream commit 929a91e99c22c022342382779f3a06ddaabb2ff5 ]

The documentation for rte_realloc claims that the resized area
will always reside on the same NUMA node. This is not actually
the case - while *resized* area will be on the same NUMA node,
if resizing the area is not possible, then the memory will be
reallocated using rte_malloc(), which can allocate memory on
another NUMA node, depending on which lcore rte_realloc() was
called from and which NUMA nodes have memory available.

Fix the API doc to match the actual code of rte_realloc().

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
