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

[RAJESH KUMAR S.R]

Hi,

I am new to dpdk.
I'm trying to use dpdk-pdump tool. I'm able to capture packets on dpdk
ports.

But, I'm facing the following issue
I'm getting a error "RING:Cannot reserve memory" while trying to restart
the pdump tool or running 2 instances of pdump.
I have also used the rte_eal_cleanup while exiting pdump main function.


Output:
* sudo /opt/pep/active/bin/dpdk-pdump -- --pdump
'port=0,queue=*,rx-dev=/tmp/rx.pcap,tx-dev=/tmp/tx.pcap'*
