            Bug ID: 106
           Summary: running dpdk-procinfo or any secondary leading to
                    system memory exhaustion
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 18.05
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED

          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: vipin.varghese@intel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Issue: Running dpdk secondary instance in multiple iterations leads to memo=
ry
exhaustion

Environment: Host & Virtual Machine

Primary App: DPDK l2fwd=20

Secondary App: simplified custom app

File:

Secondary:
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int ret;
        int i;
        char c_flag[] =3D "-c1";
        char n_flag[] =3D "-n4";
        char mp_flag[] =3D "--proc-type=3Dsecondary";
        char *argp[argc + 3];
        uint16_t nb_ports;

        argp[0] =3D argv[0];
        argp[1] =3D c_flag;
        argp[2] =3D n_flag;
        argp[3] =3D mp_flag;

        for (i =3D 1; i < argc; i++)
                argp[i + 3] =3D argv[i];

        argc +=3D 3;

        ret =3D rte_eal_init(argc, argp);
        if (ret < 0) {
                ret =3D rte_eal_cleanup();
                if (ret)
                        printf("Error from rte_eal_cleanup(), %d\n", ret);

                rte_panic("Cannot init EAL\n");
  }

        ret =3D rte_eal_cleanup();
        if (ret)
                printf("Error from rte_eal_cleanup(), %d\n", ret);

        fflush(stdout);
        fflush(stderr);
        return 0;
}

Run script:
#!/bin/sh

./build/app/test
ret=3D$?

while [ $ret -eq 0 ]
do
   sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
   ./build/app/test
   ret=3D$?
   echo "ret ---------------- $ret"
done
