<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am having problems with rte_eal_init() and assigning DPDK memory to one numa node (I have two numa node system).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried modifying an argument I had used in the past and added a second value, for second socket, with a ‘,’ delimiter to exclude DPDK memory on socket 2. I tried “--socket-mem=2048,0” and rte_eal_init() suffers a Segmentation fault.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps what I provided as an argument “--socket-mem=2048,0” to rte_eal_init() is not supported?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My goal is to allocate all DPDK memory and Hugepage memory to processor 1 (socket 1) on Numa Node 0 where the NIC is located.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I try remove the rte_eal_init argument “--socket-mem” it seems to work, puts the DPDK memory on socket 0.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I may want to allocate DPDK memory on second socket or on both CPU sockets with different amounts, how can I do this with ret_eal_init arguments?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
