[dpdk-dev] Big spike in DPDK VSZ

[siddarth rai]

Hi,

I have been using DPDK 19.08 and I notice the process VSZ is huge.

I tried running the test PMD. It takes 64G VSZ and if I use the
'--in-memory' option it takes up to 188G.

Is there anyway to disable allocation of such huge VSZ in DPDK ?
This is resulting in huge core files and I suspect that the problem will
compound on multi-NUMA machines.

Please help

Regards,
