[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/3] new API to free consumed buffers in Tx ring

[Thomas Monjalon]

2017-01-27 13:37, Billy McFall:
> Add a new API to free consumed buffers on TX ring. This addresses two
> scenarios:
> 1) Flooding a packet and want to reuse existing mbuf to avoid a packet
> copy. Increment the reference count of the packet and poll new API until
> reference count is decremented.
> 2) Application runs out of mbufs, or resets and is preparing for
> additional run, call API to free consumed packets so processing can
> continue.
