Hi Anatoly, I haven't looked through your patchset yet but quick question. As far as I understand, currently EAL remaps virtual addresses to make VA layout matches PA layout. I'm not sure my expression is 100% correct. By your comment above, do you mean VA space for all available physical memory will always be contiguous? I have been curious about why VA space is fragmented in DPDK. Thanks, Yongseok
