/**
 * @file
 * RTE Mempool.
 *
 * A memory pool is an allocator of fixed-size object. It is
 * identified by its name, and uses a ring to store free objects. It
 * provides some other optional services, like a per-core object
 * cache, and an alignment helper to ensure that objects are padded
 * to spread them equally on all RAM channels, ranks, and so on.
 *
 * Objects owned by a mempool should never be added in another
 * mempool. When an object is freed using rte_mempool_put() or
 * equivalent, the object data is not modified; the user can save some
 * meta-data in the object data and retrieve them when allocating a
 * new object.
 *
 * Note: the mempool implementation is not preemptable. A lcore must
 * not be interrupted by another task that uses the same mempool
 * (because it uses a ring which is not preemptable). Also, mempool
 * functions must not be used outside the DPDK environment: for
 * example, in linuxapp environment, a thread that is not created by
 * the EAL must not use mempools. This is due to the per-lcore cache
 * that won't work as rte_lcore_id() will not return a correct value.

 * pool contains n elements of elt_size. Its size is set to n.
 * All elements of the mempool are allocated together with the mempool header,
 * in one physically continuous chunk of memory.
 *
 * @param name
 *   The name of the mempool.
 * @param n
 *   The number of elements in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of
 *   memory usage) for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one:
 *   n = (2^q - 1).
 * @param elt_size
 *   The size of each element.
 * @param cache_size
 *   If cache_size is non-zero, the rte_mempool library will try to
 *   limit the accesses to the common lockless pool, by maintaining a
 *   per-lcore object cache. This argument must be lower or equal to
 *   CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE. It is advised to choose
 *   cache_size to have "n modulo cache_size == 0": if this is
 *   not the case, some elements will always stay in the pool and will
 *   never be used. The access to the per-lcore table is of course
 *   faster than the multi-producer/consumer pool. The cache can be
 *   disabled if the cache_size argument is set to 0; it can be useful to
 *   avoid losing objects in cache. Note that even if not used, the
 *   memory space for cache is always reserved in a mempool structure,
 *   except if CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is set to 0.
 * @param private_data_size
 *   The size of the private data appended after the mempool
 *   structure. This is useful for storing some private data after the
 *   mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for example.
 * @param mp_init
 *   A function pointer that is called for initialization of the pool,
 *   before object initialization. The user can initialize the private
 *   data in this function if needed. This parameter can be NULL if
 *   not needed.
 * @param mp_init_arg
 *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used in the mempool
 *   constructor function.
 * @param obj_init
 *   A function pointer that is called for each object at
 *   initialization of the pool. The user can set some meta data in
 *   objects if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed.
 *   The obj_init() function takes the mempool pointer, the init_arg,
 *   the object pointer and the object number as parameters.
 * @param obj_init_arg
 *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used as an argument for
 *   each call to the object constructor function.
 * @param socket_id
 *   The *socket_id* argument is the socket identifier in the case of
 *   NUMA. The value can be *SOCKET_ID_ANY* if there is no NUMA
 *   constraint for the reserved zone.
 * @param flags
 *   The *flags* arguments is an OR of following flags:
 *   - MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD: By default, objects addresses are spread
 *     between channels in RAM: the pool allocator will add padding
 *     between objects depending on the hardware configuration. See
 *     Memory alignment constraints for details. If this flag is set,
 *     the allocator will just align them to a cache line.
 *   - MEMPOOL_F_NO_CACHE_ALIGN: By default, the returned objects are

/**
 * Creates a new mempool named *name* in memory.
 *
 * This function uses ``memzone_reserve()`` to allocate memory. The
 * pool contains n elements of elt_size. Its size is set to n.
 * Depending on the input parameters, mempool elements can be either allocated
 * together with the mempool header, or an externally provided memory buffer
 * could be used to store mempool objects. In later case, that external
 * memory buffer can consist of set of disjoint phyiscal pages.
 *
 * @param name
 *   The name of the mempool.
 * @param n
 *   The number of elements in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of
 *   memory usage) for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one:
 *   n = (2^q - 1).
 * @param elt_size
 *   The size of each element.
 * @param cache_size
 *   If cache_size is non-zero, the rte_mempool library will try to
 *   limit the accesses to the common lockless pool, by maintaining a
 *   per-lcore object cache. This argument must be lower or equal to
 *   CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE. It is advised to choose
 *   cache_size to have "n modulo cache_size == 0": if this is
 *   not the case, some elements will always stay in the pool and will
 *   never be used. The access to the per-lcore table is of course
 *   faster than the multi-producer/consumer pool. The cache can be
 *   disabled if the cache_size argument is set to 0; it can be useful to
 *   avoid losing objects in cache. Note that even if not used, the
 *   memory space for cache is always reserved in a mempool structure,
 *   except if CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is set to 0.
 * @param private_data_size
 *   The size of the private data appended after the mempool
 *   structure. This is useful for storing some private data after the
 *   mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for example.
 * @param mp_init
 *   A function pointer that is called for initialization of the pool,
 *   before object initialization. The user can initialize the private
 *   data in this function if needed. This parameter can be NULL if
 *   not needed.
 * @param mp_init_arg
 *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used in the mempool
 *   constructor function.
 * @param obj_init
 *   A function pointer that is called for each object at
 *   initialization of the pool. The user can set some meta data in
 *   objects if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed.
 *   The obj_init() function takes the mempool pointer, the init_arg,
 *   the object pointer and the object number as parameters.
 * @param obj_init_arg
 *   An opaque pointer to data that can be used as an argument for
 *   each call to the object constructor function.
 * @param socket_id
 *   The *socket_id* argument is the socket identifier in the case of
 *   NUMA. The value can be *SOCKET_ID_ANY* if there is no NUMA
 *   constraint for the reserved zone.
 * @param flags
 *   The *flags* arguments is an OR of following flags:
 *   - MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD: By default, objects addresses are spread
 *     between channels in RAM: the pool allocator will add padding
 *     between objects depending on the hardware configuration. See
 *     Memory alignment constraints for details. If this flag is set,
 *     the allocator will just align them to a cache line.
 *   - MEMPOOL_F_NO_CACHE_ALIGN: By default, the returned objects are
 *     cache-aligned. This flag removes this constraint, and no
 *     padding will be present between objects. This flag implies
 *     MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD.
 *   - MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT: If this flag is set, the default behavior
 *     when using rte_mempool_put() or rte_mempool_put_bulk() is
 *     "single-producer". Otherwise, it is "multi-producers".
 *   - MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET: If this flag is set, the default behavior
 *     when using rte_mempool_get() or rte_mempool_get_bulk() is
 *     "single-consumer". Otherwise, it is "multi-consumers".
 * @param vaddr
 *   Virtual address of the externally allocated memory buffer.
 *   Will be used to store mempool objects.
 * @param paddr
 *   Array of phyiscall addresses of the pages that comprises given memory
 *   buffer.
 * @param pg_num
 *   Number of elements in the paddr array.
 * @param pg_shift
 *   LOG2 of the physical pages size.
 * @return
 *   The pointer to the new allocated mempool, on success. NULL on error
 *   with rte_errno set appropriately. Possible rte_errno values include:
 *    - E_RTE_NO_CONFIG - function could not get pointer to rte_config structure
