[dpdk-dev] RTE mempool "used count" steadily goes down to zero despite steady packet throughput

Thanks Oliver for the helpful tip, that settles the confusion as to why Free count grows and used shrinks. I've modified the rte_mempool library to maintain atomic pktmbuf malloc and free stats, hopefully that would help pinpoint the leak. Thanks again for your help! --Kam On Mon, Dec 1, 2014
