Bug ID 1405
Summary Static Memory footprint large increase due to net/bnxt changes in 23.11
Product DPDK
Version 23.11
Hardware All
OS All
Status UNCONFIRMED
Severity normal
Priority Normal

Target Milestone ---

The memory footprint has increased massively when the commit "97435d7906
net/bnxt: update Truflow core" was added.
The bss in my example going from 6M to 94M when building any dpdk-test
applicationfor instance, when that commit is introduced. 
There are now notably huge memory reserved for cfa_tcam_mgr_* from the bnxt PMD
visible from nm.

That issue is notably impacting v23.11 and still seen on main as of today. 

For now for application building with 23.11, we recommend to disable the
net/bnxt through meson to avoid this issue.

I believe a proper fix is required from Broadcom bnxt: --cc Ajit Khaparde
