[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 00/10] net/mlx5: optimize flow resource allocation

[Suanming Mou <suanmingm@mellanox.com>]

Currently, flow may allocate several action resources during creation.
Both allocate the individual resources and save the object handles have
big memory overhead for the flow.

Indexed memory pool is introduced to optimize the memory overhead. The
resources can be allocated from the resource's own individual memory pool
and only the 32-bits index is saved to the flow.

In this case, it saves MALLOC_ELEM_OVERHEAD and 4 bytes for every flow
resources.

This patch series depends on the path which has been acked as below:
