Does it need to be a DPDK option? If eal_mem_set_dump() is exposed as rte_mem_set_dump(), this feature can be implemented by the application using rte_mem_event_callback_register(). On Linux only and for all hugepages (not only DPDK ones), administrator can reset bits 5 and 6 of /proc/[pid]/core_filter to solve the task without any programming at all. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/core.5.html [...] > diff --git a/doc/guides/linux_gsg/linux_eal_parameters.rst b/doc/guides/linux_gsg/linux_eal_parameters.rst > index 74df2611b5..b6805bc6df 100644 > --- a/doc/guides/linux_gsg/linux_eal_parameters.rst > +++ b/doc/guides/linux_gsg/linux_eal_parameters.rst > @@ -93,6 +93,10 @@ Memory-related options > > Free hugepages back to system exactly as they were originally allocated. > > +* ``--memseg-dont-dump`` > + > + Allow to exclude memseg from core dump. > + "Memory segment" is something that is understood by programmers, not users.
