Sorry for the lack of feedback, for some reason I missed the initial
mails.
I don't quite like the idea of having hardcoded config:
CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_BACKUP_MEMPOOL_OPS_1=""
CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_BACKUP_MEMPOOL_OPS_2=""
Also, I'm a bit reserved about rte_mempool_ops_check_support(): it can
return "supported" but the creation of the pool can still fail later due
to the creation parameters (element count/size, mempool flags, ...).
The ordering preference of these mempool ops may also depend on the
configuration (enabled ports for instance) or user choices.
Let me propose you another approach to (I hope) solve your issue, based
on Santosh's patches [1].
We can introduce a new helper that could be used by applications to
dynamically select the best mempool ops. It could be something similar
to the pseudo-code I've written in [3].
// return an array pool ops name, ordered by preference
pool_ops = get_ordered_pool_ops_list()
Then try to create the first pool, if it fails, try the next, until
it is succesful.
That said, it is difficult to take the good decision inside
rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() because we don't have all the information.
Sergio and Jerin suggested to introduce a new argument ops_name to
rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() [2]. From what I remember, this is also
something you were in favor of, right?
In that case, we can move the difficult task of choosing the
right mempool inside the application.
Comments?
