Hello!

Oh I get it and recognize the problem here. The actual problem lies in
the API rte_eal_get_backfile_info().
backfiles[i].size = hugepage_files[i].size;
Should use statfs or hugepage_files[i].size * hugepage_files[i].repeated
to calculate the total size.

 .repeated depends on CONFIG_RTE_EAL_SIGLE_FILE_SEGMENTS. By the way, looks like it does the same thing as you are trying to do with --single-file, but with hugepages, doesn't it? I see it's currently used by ivshmem (which is AFAIK very immature and half-abandoned).
 Or should we just move .repeated out of the #ifdef ?

Kind regards,
