Subject: [dpdk-dev] freeing memzone
Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 16:59:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D1835CFF.876B1%harish.patil@qlogic.com> (raw)

Hello dpdk-dev,

I understand that the reserved memzones cannot be freed, as mentioned in
the DPDK specs. But I would like to know why? Is there any limitations?
If the memory is not freed/returned, then can it be reused for subsequent
allocations without re-init (i.e. with same memzone name)?
We use it for allocating DMA’ble memory.

Secondly, there was a related discussion on this in the following email
thread:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-July/004456.html

Do we plan to incorporate that changes?

Thanks,
Harish
