RE: how to run dpdk app with valgrind

[Balakrishnan K <Balakrishnan.K1@tatacommunications.com>]

Hi Stephen,
   Checked the valgrind log file during dpdk app start up.

The below warning is seen in logs.  Any tunning is need for large range allocation while using dpdk app with valgrind.
Because without valgrind application is running smoothly.
Any suggestion would be helpful .
==259414== Warning: set address range perms: large range [0x140000000, 0x980000000) (noaccess)

Valgrind works for us on Arm64 and VFIO.
