            Bug ID: 186
           Summary: Huge testpmd startup time without --legacy-mem option
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 18.05
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

         Component: core
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---

Doing PVP testing, we noticed that testpmd startup time is noticeably increased when not passing --legacy-mem option.

With 1G hugepages and below command lines, we measure ~2 seconds with --legacy-mem option, and 13 seconds without:

testpmd -c 7 -n 4 --socket-mem 2048 0 -w 0000:00:02.0 --legacy-mem -- --burst 64 -i --rxq=2 --txq=2 --rxd=4096 --txd=1024 --coremask=6 --auto-start --port-topology=chained --forward-mode=macswap

testpmd -c 7 -n 4 --socket-mem 2048 0 -w 0000:00:02.0 -- --burst 64 -i --rxq=2 --txq=2 --rxd=4096 --txd=1024 --coremask=6 --auto-start --port-topology=chained --forward-mode=macswap
