Could it have to do with memory fragmentation? What if you reboot? What if =
you configure the huge pages on the grub command line so they are allocated=
 at boot?

Subject: [dpdk-users] Failed to remap 2 MB pages

Hi All,

I am getting the error Failed to remap 2 MB pages when I give 32GB of memor=
y to DPDK. I have a 256GB system and it was working for 16GB and I had 8192=
 number of Huge pages previously. Now for 32GB I have increased it to 16384=
 entries and I am facing this error. I guess this is not because of the una=
vailability of physical memory.=20

Please correct me if I am wrong,

Thanking You,
Param.
