Hi,     Given that a dpdk driver uses rte_malloc_xx() and friends to allocate/free its memory what is the best way to find out the runtime memory footprint of a PMD ? One can use 'malloc_info' to dump the malloc output in case of general 'malloc' ...but what is the way here since it's all hugepages ? How to know the memory /footprint of my testpmd /application at different points during run-time?Is there a tool or some API i can invoke to find out the same?
Thanks P
