I am ready to run l2fwd in two containers, both of them are in the same host, start container1 run l2fwd successful, once start run l2fwd in another container2, then both of them got Segmentation fault error, anyone met this error, thanks.
Host: 4 sriov-vf enabled, driver: vfio-pci
container1: docker run --privileged --name="vhost_user" -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -itd centos-cu:v3
container2: docker run --privileged --name="virtio_user" -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -itd centos-cu:v3

Mapping hugepages from files in hugetlbfs is essential for multi-process, because secondary processes need to map the same hugepages. EAL creates files like rtemap_0 in directories specified with --huge-dir option (or in the mount point for a specific hugepage size). The rte prefix can be changed using --file-prefix. This may be needed for running multiple primary processes that share a hugetlbfs mount point. Each backing file by default corresponds to one hugepage, it is opened and locked for the entire time the hugepage is used. This may exhaust the number of open files limit (NOFILE).
