Hello, I have ~15Gbps of traffic flowing through two 10GE ports and been profiling the rte mempool(or rather the pktmbuf mempool) memory consumption:
I have per lcore caching disabled(cache_size is 0) I have noticed that: - Mempool FREE cnt(as given byt rte_mempool_free_count()) increases - Mempool USED cnt(as given by rte_mempool_used_count() decreases and eventually drops to 0. When this happens, mempool reports itself as EMPTY - rx_nombuf stats for the eth ports start climbing - Valgrind Memcheck does not indicate any obvious leaks in RTE mempool or my application. I was wondering if others have come across this issue? Or if people here have used ways, besides Valgrind to profile the mempool or the pkt mbuf pool? Thanks, Kam
