[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 7/8] eal/windows: initialize hugepage info

Dmitry Kozlyuk dmitry.kozliuk at gmail.com
Wed Apr 29 01:50:14 CEST 2020


Add hugepages discovery ("large pages" in Windows terminology)
and update documentation for required privilege setup. Only 2MB
hugepages are supported and their number is estimated roughly
due to the lack or unstable status of suitable OS APIs.

+Running DPDK Applications
+=========================
+
+Grant *Lock pages in memory* Privilege
+--------------------------------------
+
+Use of hugepages ("large pages" in Windows terminolocy) requires
+``SeLockMemoryPrivilege`` for the user running an application.
+
+1. Open *Local Security Policy* snap in, either:
+
+   * Control Panel / Computer Management / Local Security Policy;
+   * or Win+R, type ``secpol``, press Enter.
+
+2. Open *Local Policies / User Rights Assignment / Lock pages in memory.*
+
+3. Add desired users or groups to the list of grantees.
+
+4. Privilege is applied upon next logon. In particular, if privilege has been
+   granted to current user, a logoff is required before it is available.
+
+See `Large-Page Support`_ in MSDN for details.
+
+.. _Large-page Support: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/memory/large-page-support
+
+
+Run the ``helloworld`` Example
+------------------------------
+
+Navigate to the examples in the build directory and run `dpdk-helloworld.exe`.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    cd C:\Users\me\dpdk\build\examples
+    dpdk-helloworld.exe
+    hello from core 1
+    hello from core 3
+    hello from core 0
+    hello from core 2
+
+Note for MinGW-w64: applications are linked to ``libwinpthread-1.dll``
+by default. To run the example, either add toolchain executables directory
+to the PATH or copy the library to the working directory.
+Alternatively, static linking may be used (mind the LGPLv2.1 license).
