[dpdk-users] KNI - mbuf-sk_buff converstion

[tom.barbette at ulg.ac.be]

The memory space could be mapped when converting an mbuf to skbuff (while as you say it would be much harder the other way), but I don't see it done in the KNI code.

It memcpy the whole packet.

Out of curiosity, are there plan on using mapped skbuff?
