When populating a mempool with the default function, if there is not
enough virtually contiguous memory for the whole mempool, it will be
populated with several chunks. A chunk of the maximum available length
is requested with:
mz = rte_memzone_reserve_aligned(..., len=0, ..., align=x)
If align is smaller than the page size, the address and the length of
the memzone may not be a multiple of the page size. This makes
rte_mempool_populate_virt() to fail because it requires them to be
page-aligned. This patch fixes that.
The problem can be reproduced easily by allocating more than available
memory:
./build/app/testpmd -l 0,1 -- --total-num-mbufs=65536
...
Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed: Invalid argument
After the patch, the error code is correct:
./build/app/testpmd -l 0,1 -- --total-num-mbufs=65536
...
Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed: Cannot allocate memory
