Hi,

According to your configuration, yiu are allocation 80K*2MB = 160GB of memory, do you have that much Ram in your system?

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
