Only data structures fully residing in DPDK hugepage memory work correctly.
Supported data structures created by malloc(), mmap()
or otherwise using non-DPDK memory cause undefined behavior and even a segmentation fault.
+ Specifically, because the memzone field in an rte_ring refers to a memzone structure residing in local memory,
+ accessing the memzone field in a shared rte_ring will cause an immediate segmentation fault.
