After upgrade to brcmsai 8.1, the sdk running environment (container) recommended with mininum memory size as below
TH4/TD4(ltsw) uses 512MB
TH3 used 300MB
Helix4/TD2/TD3/TH/TH 256 MB
Base on this requirement, adjust the default syncd share memory size and set the memory size for special ACISs in platform_env.conf file for different types of Broadcom ASICs.
How I did it
Add the platform_env.conf file if none of it for broadcom platform (base on platform_asic file)
Add the 'SYNCD_SHM_SIZE' and set the value
for ltsw(TD4/TH4) devices set to 512M at least (update the platform_env.conf)
for Td2/TH2/TH devices set to 256M
for TH3 set to 300M

How to verify it
verify the image with code fix
Check with UT
Check on lab devices
On a problematic device which cannot start successfully
Run with the command
$ cat /proc/linux-kernel-bde
Broadcom Device Enumerator (linux-kernel-bde)
Module parameters:
maxpayload=128
usemsi=0
dmasize=32M
himem=(null)
himemaddr=(null)
DMA Memory (kernel): 33554432 bytes, 0 used, 33554432 free, local mmap

$ docker rm -f syncd

$ sudo /usr/bin/syncd.sh start
