[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 2/3] netdev-dpdk: Add debug appctl to get mempool information.

Fri Nov 10 07:12:05 UTC 2017


New appctl 'netdev-dpdk/get-mempool-info' implemented to get result
of 'rte_mempool_list_dump()' function if no arguments passed and
'rte_mempool_dump()' if DPDK netdev passed as argument.

Could be used for debugging mbuf leaks and other mempool related
issues. Most useful in pair with `grep -v "cache_count.*=0"`.
