Subject: [dpdk-users] rte_eal_init fails with --socket-mem set to more than 192MB per socket
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:15:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <MAXPR01MB0315D2CB0963AD71394A2A509FE30@MAXPR01MB0315.INDPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

Hi,

I am using dpdk-2.1.0 and I am not able to reserve memory beyond 192MB per socket by using --socket-mem option. I see below error logs, though my system has enough free memory.

EAL: Not enough memory available on socket 0! Requested: 256MB, available: 192MB
PANIC in rte_eal_init():

# numactl -H

Is there any max limit for reserving memory per socket? If yes, then please suggest me how to increase that limit.

Thanks in advance,
Sarthak
