[dpdk-dev] [EXT] [PATCH 1/5] mempool: allow unaligned addr/len in populate virt

[Vamsi Krishna Attunuru]

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for patch set, able run the tests with 512MB page size with this patch set on Octeontx2 platform, somehow mbuf is holding null fields when pool is created with 2MB page size, tests like l3fwd, kni are failing due to the malformed mbufs. Can you confirm if the patch set was verified on any platform with different page sizes. Meanwhile I will also debug this issue.

Regards
A Vamsi
