I'm working on a system that has the following hugepages configuration:
##
sudo dpdk-hugepages.py -s
Node Pages Size Total
2 256 2Mb 512Mb
2 8 1Gb 8Gb
0 256 2Mb 512Mb
0 8 1Gb 8Gb
3 256 2Mb 512Mb
3 8 1Gb 8Gb
1 256 2Mb 512Mb
1 8 1Gb 8Gb
Hugepages mounted on /dev/hugepages
##
If I try to allocate memory with
rte_memzone_reserve_aligned(mem_name, 1024*1024, socket_id,
RTE_MEMZONE_2MB | RTE_MEMZONE_SIZE_HINT_ONLY |
RTE_MEMZONE_IOVA_CONTIG, RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE):
it always allocate the memory on 1GB hugepage.
If I remove RTE_MEMZONE_SIZE_HINT_ONLY flag, the allocation fails.
Regards.
