Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal: warn on legacy memory allocation requirement
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 18:55:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190722165505.14745-1-thomas@monjalon.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190718093432.14092-1-thomas@monjalon.net>

When using --no-huge mode, dynamic allocation is not supported.
Because of this limitation, the option --legacy-mem is implied
and -m may be needed to specify the amount of memory to allocate.
Otherwise the default amount MEMSIZE_IF_NO_HUGE_PAGE will be allocated.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

v2:
	- user-oriented message
