    What do you think of using a static inline function instead of a macro ?
    
    
    Regards,

Yes, an inline function is better than a macro. We still need to move the #define MULTIPLIER from rte_mempool.c to rte_mempool.h.

How is this for the prototype?
static inline unsigned rte_mempool_calc_cache_flushthresh(unsigned cache_size)

Where in the .h should we place the function, right below the MULTIPLIER definition?

Regards,
Robert
