[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/5] lib/librte_vhost: user space vhost cuse driver library

I am preparing v5 patch for vhost lib and vhost example, merging the merge-able 
feature. The weird thing is merge-able feature ever works smoothly in my old code base which is based on
1.7.1, while after I merge with latest repo, mergeable could cause mbuf allocation failure.
I did code comparison of vhost example and lib, the only change is the mbuf change.
Debugging the issue.
