It turned out to not apply to all of them. In rte_lpm_create_v20 there is an unexpected fused allocation: mem_size = sizeof(*lpm) + (sizeof(lpm->rules_tbl[0]) * max_rules); [...] lpm = (struct rte_lpm_v20 *)rte_zmalloc_socket(mem_name,mem_size, RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, socket_id); That causes lpm->rules_tbl not to have an own struct malloc_elem that can be derived via RTE_PTR_SUB(data, MALLOC_ELEM_HEADER_LEN) in malloc_elem_from_data. Due to that the rte_lpm_free_v20 accidentially misderives the elem and assumes it is ELEM_FREE triggering in malloc_elem_free if (!malloc_elem_cookies_ok(elem) || elem->state != return -1; While it seems counter-intuitive the way to properly remove rules_tbl in the old fused allocation style of rte_lpm_free_v20 is to not remove it. The newer rte_lpm_free_v1604 is safe because in rte_lpm_create_v1604 rules_tbl is a separate allocation.
