I agree that this is the current situation, and is relied upon elsewhere in DPDK.
Reviewed-by: Morten Brørup <mb@smartsharesystems.com>
However, the documentation for the mempool driver dequeue function type, rte_mempool_dequeue_t [1], does not specify allowed return values, so some future mempool driver might return a positive value. Please consider updating this too. (Also, the mempool driver enqueue/dequeue functions work on a bulk of objects, not "an object", as their documentation says.)
