Hi, I use ovs-dpdk with one application which talks to ovs by using ring device and "--proc-type=secondary" (secondary processes). It generally works well, but sometimes it shows this error.
It seems it could not find correct memory mapping in the application. 2017-06-13 11:21:40.988 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] EAL: Probing VFIO support... 2017-06-13 11:21:40.988 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] EAL: WARNING: Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is enabled in the kernel. 2017-06-13 11:21:40.988 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] EAL: This may cause issues with mapping memory into secondary processes 2017-06-13 11:21:40.989 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] EAL: Could not mmap 17146314752 bytes in /dev/zero at [0x7f662c800000], got [0x7f6506000000] - please use '--base-virtaddr' option 2017-06-13 11:21:40.989 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] EAL: It is recommended to disable ASLR in the kernel and retry running both primary and secondary processes 2017-06-13 11:21:40.990 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] PANIC in rte_eal_init(): 2017-06-13 11:21:40.990 STDERR Thread-2 [INFO] Cannot init memory I tried to disable ASLR, but it did not work. Does anyone have the similar situation? If so, would you please explain why this happens and how to avoid it? Thanks, Junguk
