https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1708 Bug ID: 1708 Summary: rte_malloc_socket failed to allocate with large alignment and ASan Product: DPDK Version: 21.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: core Assignee: dev@dpdk.org Reporter: plestringant@kalrayinc.com Target Milestone: --- After commit f92b9ebed03dbd140a5a7b921cb898e661a59068, I am unable to allocate 1MiB aligned 1MiB with rte_malloc_socket when DPDK is built with ASan. Enter try_expand_heap_primary with pg_sz=0x200000, elt_size=0x100000, align=0x100000 alloc_sz is set to 0x200000 Enter alloc_pages_on_heap Enter find_suitable_element Enter elem_start_pt with elem of size 0x200000 MALLOC_ELEM_TRAILER_LEN is non zero because of ASan new_data_start is equal to elem because of alignment There is no room for the header and it fails. If my analysis is correct the formula used in try_expand_heap_primary to compute alloc_sz is off. I suggest something like: alloc_sz = RTE_ALIGN_CEIL(RTE_ALIGN_CEIL(elt_size + MALLOC_ELEM_TRAILER_LEN, align) + MALLOC_ELEM_HEADER_LEN, pg_sz); I am working with branch 21.11, but I think this issue affects all the branches which contain commit f92b9ebed03dbd140a5a7b921cb898e661a59068 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
