Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mempool: avoid memory waste with large pagesize
Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 18:29:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457490571-24429-1-git-send-email-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
If page size is large (like 64K on ARM) and object size is small
then don't waste lots of memory by rounding up to page size.
Instead, round up so that 1 or more objects all fit in a page.
This preserves the requirement that an object must not a page
or virt2phys would break, and makes sure 62K is not wasted per mbuf.
