Bug ID: 1071
Summary: Deadlock on memory allocation
(rte_memzone_reserve_aligned)
Product: DPDK
Version: 21.11
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: core

simple_mem_mp program
I launch the attached program on a 56c, 2 numa x86 machine:
The primary (named simple_mem_mp) does the following:
1) Starts a secondary (same image but named simple_mem_mp_sec)
2) Allocates a huge number (512) of 2M pages and release them
3) Starts a few eal threads that also allocate/release other 2M pages forever
4) Waits for the secondary to exit
5) Go to bullet 1
The secondary (same image as primary but named simple_mem_mp_sec):
1) Starts a few eal threads that allocate 100x2M pages and then exit
2) Wait for threads to finish and then exit
The secondary is alive for almost 4 secs before exiting.
After a few iterations a deadlock is experienced. The secondary seems to start
but cannot complete the rte_eal_init and I see that lslocks reports this (a
flock cannot get the lock on /dev/hugepages2M):
simple_mem_mp 171272 FLOCK WRITE* 0 0 0 /dev/hugepages2M...
simple_mem_mp 171272 FLOCK WRITE 0 0 0 /dev/hugepages2M...
