Please could you give steps to reproduce? Running with 1024 2M hugepages will cause 1024 open file handles. You would need a simple DPDK application that calls rte_eal_init() and then print out the next open file handle. The problem is worse after application has started and stopped several times, and memory has become fragmented. I would argue that this deserves a release note, if the core memory management has to leave files open for shutdown. Thomas, Do you need any more info? Do you think this can be fixed? Else we could document it like Stephen suggested. Thanks |
