Subject: [dpdk-dev] long initialization time for EAL init
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 15:56:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AM0PR07MB64366C460276BA516177F58BA1730@AM0PR07MB6436.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Hello,
We are using OVS 2.12.0 with DPDK 18.11.2 release on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. We do observe long initialization time for EAL init ( ~10 seconds for EAL memory initialization).
Below is our hardware and memory configuration
Hardware : Dell Server
Sockets(NUMA) : 2
CPUs : Each NUMA with 10 CPUs (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v2 @ 2.20GHz)
RAM : 128 GB
Hugepages reserverd : 2048 huge pages of 2MB and 100 Huge pages of 1G (reserved during boot time). We are using only 2MB huge pages for OVS process.
NIC : Ethernet 10G 2P X520 ( ixgbe driver )
Passing below EAL arguments with OVS process.
2020-07-23T09:46:58.878Z|00014|dpdk|INFO|EAL ARGS: ovs-vswitchd -w 0000:04:00.0,support-multi-driver=1 -w 0000:42:00.0,support-multi-driver=1 -c 0x1 --huge-dir /mnt/huge_ovs_2M --socket-mem 2048,2048 --socket-limit 2048,2048.
We debugged further in DPDK and found out that mmap called in eal_get_virtual_area is taking more time ( rte_eal_init-> rte_eal_memory_init -> rte_eal_memseg_init -> memseg_primary_init -> alloc_va_space -> eal_get_virtual_area ->mmap ). Long initialization time is noticeable difference compared to prior release. Any pointers would be helpful.
EAL Init logs ( rte_eal_memseg_init function taking ~8 seconds )
