Hi Pavan,
	Your patch was breaking the design of the best_mempool_ops and the whole purpose of selection was getting lost. 
I guess you were trying to fix  test_mempool.  I have sent another patch, which fixes that and start using the best mempool ops API
instead of default mempool ops API.

Regards,
Hemant

Hi Hemanth,

	Currently, best_mempool_ops is broken because when
rte_mbuf_user_mempool_ops is invoked it is expected to returns 'NULL' through
internal_config.user_mbuf_pool_ops_name. IMO it is best to create a named
memzone ('mbuf_user_pool_ops') at the end of eal_init and copy mbuf-pool-ops
passed to eal.

`rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops` is not expected to return 'NULL' would doing
so break the ABI?.

---
/**
 * Get default pool ops name for mbuf
 *
 * @return
 *   returns default pool ops name.
 */
const char *
rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops(void);
---

IMO creating named mempool at the end of eal_init and changing
`rte_mbuf_user_mempool_ops` as below would be a better solution.

rte_mbuf_user_mempool_ops(void)
{
...
        mz = rte_memzone_lookup("mbuf_user_pool_ops");
        if (mz == NULL)
                return NULL;
	...
}

Thoughts?

Pavan.

[Hemant]  It seems reasonable. We can also deprecate the eal default mempool ops API . I will be sending patch shortly.
 
Unfortunately all NXP platforms are broken at the moment, so we need to get it fixed fast.
