Hello, I have a DPDK process that creates pktmbuf pool with 2_000_000 objects In CentOS 6.x x86-64, ring size of this pool is 16MB 8 2MB hugepages required to hold such ring. In some cases, hugepages are too fragmented and there are no 8 contiguous hugepages for the ring. As the result, the process has enough hugepages memory, but ring allocation fails. I use a workaround for these cases and create a ring with standard OS allocation routines. Is there another way I could use unclaimed dpdk hugepages for that allocation ?
Regards, Gregory
