With all 4 hugepage sizes enabled, applications and some stacks like VPP which are working over DPDK and using "in-memory" eal option, or using separate mount points on ARM based platform, fails at huge page initialization, reporting error messages from eal: EAL: FATAL: Cannot get hugepage information. EAL: Cannot get hugepage information. EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 This issue is visible on kernel 5.2 (stable rel), where kernel is by default creating directories for each supported hugepage size in /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/ On earlier Stable Kernel LTR's, the directories visible in /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/ were dependent upon what hugepage sizes are configured at boot time. This change increases the maximum supported mount points to 4 for ARM based platforms.
