[dpdk-dev] Helloworld dpdk app is crashing

[Shravan Raj (shrraj)]

Hi All,

    I compiled helloworld app in dpdk-19.11.1 stable version and tried to run . The app is crashing with panic message.

  Logs:


Linux(debug)# ./helloworld -l 0-3 -n 4

   Below are my configs


  1.  Compiled app for 32 bit.
  2.  GCC version is 4.9

Created hugepages as below,

echo 1024 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1024
mkdir -p /mnt/huge_2mb
sudo mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge_2mb -o pagesize=2MB

Linux(debug)# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Huge
HugePages_Total:    1024
HugePages_Free:     1024
HugePages_Rsvd:        0

Thanks and Regards
