Re: [dpdk-users] [DPDK-PDUMP] Issue: RING: Cannot reserve memory

["RAJESH KUMAR S.R" <rajuuu1992@gmail.com>]

Hi Rami,
Thanks for the response.

I used "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space "
for disabling ASLR, but the error still exists.
I checked with testpmd as primary process and the same error occurs when I
restart the pdump tool.

I'm just trying to debug the segmentation fault in rte_eth_tx_burst
function for now.



Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh kumar S R
