Hi, =

 I meet a weird problem. The error below only happens in one machine of my =
cluster, but in other nodes, the program run successfully without bug.
 I try to build a memory pool, which consists of 256 buffers, each is 32M.
 Here is my code snippet. For a memory pool, it will execute many times.
----------------------------------------------
#define SPDK_PAGE_SIZE (4096)
#define SPDK_BUFFER_SIZE (32ull<<20)
 buffer_ =3D (char*)spdk_zmalloc(SPDK_BUFFER_SIZE, =

                                      SPDK_PAGE_SIZE, NULL, =

                                      SPDK_ENV_SOCKET_ID_ANY,
                                      SPDK_MALLOC_DMA);
if(buffer_ =3D=3D nullptr){
fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d: SPDK allocate memory failed\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);
}
---------------------------------------

I found that in some buffer allocations, the variable buffer_ after the spd=
k_zmalloc is still a nullptr. =

It makes the program throw error output.
I start up spdk enviroment with hugemem=3D16384, the total memory pool size=
 8GB.
SPDK vesion is v20.01


Could someone give me some comments? thanks.
