Hi, I have system with 2 NUMA nodes and 256G RAM total. I noticed that DPDK crashes in rte_eal_init() when number of available hugepages is around 40000 or above. Everything works fine with lower values (i.e. 30000).
I also tried with allocating 40000 on node0 and 0 on node1, same crash happens. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks, Damjan $ cat /sys/devices/system/node/node[01]/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages 20000 20000 $ grep -i huge /proc/meminfo AnonHugePages: 706560 kB HugePages_Total: 40000 HugePages_Free: 40000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB $ sudo ~/src/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -l 5-7 -n 3 --socket-mem 512,512 EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 1 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 2 as core 2 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 3 as core 3 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 4 as core 4 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 5 as core 5 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 6 as core 6 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 7 as core 7 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 8 as core 0 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 9 as core 1 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 10 as core 2 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 11 as core 3 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 12 as core 4 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 13 as core 5 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 14 as core 6 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 15 as core 7 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 16 as core 0 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 17 as core 1 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 18 as core 2 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 19 as core 3 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 20 as core 4 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 21 as core 5 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 22 as core 6 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 23 as core 7 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 24 as core 0 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 25 as core 1 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 26 as core 2 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 27 as core 3 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 28 as core 4 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 29 as core 5 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 30 as core 6 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 31 as core 7 on socket 1 EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
