Hi,

I have a query-why Linux top command does not show the NUMA pages allocated by a DPDK process in Resident Memory? Is it a missing functionality in Linux top command or some limitation, Please excuse my ignorance if I missed something very obvious?

As an example if I allocated 512 NUMA pages for a DPDK application with each page of 2MB size then I would expect that in top command, when memory stats are display I would see "RES" memory of 1GB.
