Hi Alexander,

Thanks for submitting this patch. Few comments below.

I suggest another title:

  mbuf: fix dump of dynamic fields and flags

Indeed, it appears that the dump is currently broken. We can see it
in the unit tests:

  RTE>>mbuf_autotest
  ...
  MBUF: Failed to get mbuf dyn shared memory

As the function returns void, we failure is not detected by the test.

Can you add a small commit log?

I suppose this issue is introduced by d4902ed31c63 ("mbuf: check shared
memory before dumping dynamic space"). Do you confirm?

Can you please also add:

I think rte_errno is not set when rte_memzone_lookup() returns NULL (this
happens when init_shared_mem() is called from a secondary process). You can
set it in this function to ENOENT, or just drop this change.
