Hi,
This doesn't look like an issue that is with DPDK. It is more likely
that something else triggers this (similar to mlockall()). Are you sure
there are no more mem lock calls anywhere in your application before EAL
init (i.e. inside the libraries you use, etc.)? Because so far, page
pinning is the only thing i can think of that would cause this sort of
behavior.
