问题描述：

dpdk-testpmd在超过128核双numa场景中，启动失败问题，问题日志如下，扫描内存的时候，无法使用numa1的内存。

原因分析：

一开始只是关注了error的log，以为是大页分配失败了，没有关注到前面的日志信息。

EAL: Setting policy MPOL_PREFERREDforsocket1EAL: eal_memalloc_alloc_seg_bulk(): couldn'tfindsuitable memseg_list

其实刚开始的日志也非常的重要，这里其实早早的就暴露了问题，dpdk-testpmd启动的时候，只探测了0-127核，跳过了128以及之后的核，最终只扫了numa0，故只能用numa0的内存。

EAL: Detected lcore0as core0on socket0EAL: Detected lcore127as core215on socket0EAL: Skipped lcore128as core0on socket1EAL: Maximum logical cores by configuration:128EAL: Detected CPU lcores:128EAL: Detected NUMA nodes:1EAL: huge_pre_init setted2

分析代码，可以看到cpu count的上限是由 RTE_MAX_LCORE决定的。而它是由config/x86/meson.build 中的 dpdk_conf.set('RTE_MAX_LCORE', 128)这个决定。

./lib/eal/common/eal_common_lcore.c

继续分析config/x86/meson.build代码，如下，可以看到通过修改编译，增加-Dmax_lcores来修改cpu数量来解决。

config/x86/meson.build

解决方案：

编译dpdk-testpmd的时候，增加参数-Dmax_lcores=256，如下解决。
meson build -Dmax_lcores=256

小结：

dpdk在使用的时候，还是和机型绑定在一起的，对于核数和numa数量的增加，都会影响dpdk的使用，需要进行适配。比较好的是，dpdk在开发之初，考虑到了这个问题，通过调整编译参数就可以解决。
