Artur, I don't have the details of what you are trying to achieve, but it sounds like something that is covered by IOMMU, SW or HW. The IOMMU creates an iova (I/O Virtual address) the nic can access the range is controlled with flags passed to the dma_map functions. So I understand your question

Hello DPDK experts, Imagine a PMD for an FPGA-based NIC that is limited to accessing certain memory regions . Is there a way to make DPDK use that exact memory? Perhaps this is more of a hugetlbfs question than DPDK but I thought I'd start here. Sincerely, Artur Saygin
