"in real world case with DPDK" is very fragile justification. I simply don't want to dig in this way since it is very easy to make a mistake or simply false assumption. >> 3.

You have mine, but I'd like to know what other ethdev maintainers think about it. >>> Obviously, We can not allocate max ring size in init time. >>> If the NIC has support for 64K HW ring, We will be wasting too much >>> as >>> it is per queue. >> >> Yes, I agree that it is an overkill. >> >> net/sfc tries to carefully free/reserve on NIC/queues reconfigure. >> >> Many thanks, >> Andrew.
