[dpdk-users] DPDK 17.11.2 - PMD: net_mlx5: mempool 0x7fc988c33e40: not virtually contiguous

[Anshu Boonapalli]

hi,

I am facing this failure intermittently during the rte_eal_init call, when
using relatively large number of hugepages (~80k+ of 2MB hugepages).

The mempool for this scenario is allocated using rte_mempool_create() and
all associated documentation/source seems to indicate the pool returned
should be virtually contiguous.

Have any of you experienced this failure and figured out a resolution?

Thanks,
-Anshu
