            Bug ID: 1405
           Summary: Static Memory footprint large increase due to net/bnxt
                    changes in 23.11
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 23.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: other
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: nicolas.chau...@intel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The memory footprint has increased massively when the commit "97435d7906
net/bnxt: update Truflow core" was added.
The bss in my example going from 6M to 94M when building any dpdk-test
applicationfor instance, when that commit is introduced. 
There are now notably huge memory reserved for cfa_tcam_mgr_* from the bnxt PMD
visible from nm.

That issue is notably impacting v23.11 and still seen on main as of today. 

For now for application building with 23.11, we recommend to disable the
net/bnxt through meson to avoid this issue.

I believe a proper fix is required from Broadcom bnxt: --cc Ajit Khaparde
