Hi All,

When I'm trying to configure some 5000+ ACL rules with different source IP addresses, getting ACL memory allocation failure.\

[root@ACLISSUE log_2015_10_26_08_19_42]# vim np.log
match nodes/bytes used: 816/104448
total: 12940832 bytes
ACL: Build phase for ACL "ipv4_acl_table2":
memory consumed: 947913495
ACL: trie 0: number of rules: 816
ACL: allocation of 12966528 bytes on socket 0 for ipv4_acl_table1 failed
ACL: Build phase for ACL "ipv4_acl_table1":
memory consumed: 947913495
ACL: trie 0: number of rules: 817
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Failed to build ACL trie

Again sourced the ACL config file. After adding around 77 again the same error came.

Where to increase the memory to avoid this issue?

Thanks Konstantin. Few more questions in line:

That's strange according to your log, all you need is ~13MB of hugepage memory:
ACL: allocation of 12966528 bytes on socket 0 for ipv4_acl_table1 Wonder what consumed rest of 4GB?
>> We are creating mem pools (for DPDK compatible 3 ports) for packet processing.
>>> And there are no free huge pages available after our DPDK app initialization.

Again do you re-build your table after every rule you add?
If so, then it seems a bit strange approach (and definitely not the fastest one).

What you can do instead: create context; add all your rules into it; build;

As I can see from the log it fails at GEN phase, when trying to allocate hugepages for RT table.
At lib/librte_acl/acl_gen.c:509

rte_acl_gen(struct rte_acl_ctx *ctx, struct rte_acl_trie *trie,
        struct rte_acl_bld_trie *node_bld_trie, uint32_t num_tries,
        uint32_t num_categories, uint32_t data_index_sz, size_t max_size) { ...
mem = rte_zmalloc_socket(ctx->name, total_size, RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE,
                        ctx->socket_id); if (mem == NULL) {
                RTE_LOG(ERR, ACL,
                        "allocation of %zu bytes on socket %d for %s failed\n",
                        total_size, ctx->socket_id, ctx->name);
                return -ENOMEM;
}
>>> Is there any way to reserve some particular amount of huge page memory for ACL trie (in eal_init())?

Thanks Konstantin.

Previous allocation error was coming with 1024 huge pages of 2 MB size. 

After increasing the huge pages to 2048, I was able to add another ~140 rules [IPv4 rule data--> with src, dst IP address & port, next header ] more, ie., 950 rules were added.

Logically it did not increase number of rules [expected 2*817, but only 950 were added]. Is it really using huge pages memory only?

Hi All,

When I'm trying to configure some 5000+ ACL rules with different source IP addresses, getting ACL memory allocation failure. I'm using DPDK 2.1.

[root@ACLISSUE log_2015_10_26_08_19_42]# vim np.log

Again sourced the ACL config file. After adding around 77 again the same error came.

Where to increase the memory to avoid this issue?
