I see that rte_eal_get_physmem_layout is the one gets physical memory layout. But not sure where does it get it from and if it depends on say 64bit architecture or just some config ! *From:* Oza Oza [mailto:oza.oza(a)broadcom.com] *Sent:* Thursday, April 27, 2017 1:29 AM *To:* 'Storage Performance Development Kit' *Subject:* restricting SPDK/DPDK memory allcoation Hi, How do I ask SPDK/DPDK to restrict the iova and phys_addr allocation to first 128 GB of its address space ? In short I want to restrict Function: vfio_type1_dma_map dma_map.vaddr = ms[i].addr_64; dma_map.iova = ms[i].phys_addr; iova address which gets programmed in iommu restricted to first 128 GB of space ? I am using ARM64 port, but it should not have anything to do with architecture anyway. Regards, Oza.
