[dpdk-dev] propose a solution for mapping same virtual address space to asymmetric processes

2015-10-13 Thread Nissim Nisimov
Hi Bruce, Using "--base-virtaddr" requires knowledge on the huge pages wanted address going to be used and might vary on different uses of the application. We suggest a more generic solution which wont require any previous knowledge and will be "bullet proof" as much as possible. Regards,

Hi all, The below will try to suggest a modification to the initialization of Environment Abstraction Layer (AKA EAL) so it will be able to allocate memory zones from same virtual memory addresses even if the primary process is not similar to the secondary processes. Problem: The DPDK
