[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/5] mbuf: fix clone support when application uses private mbuf data

[Olivier Matz]

Add a new private_size field in mbuf structure that should
be initialized at mbuf pool creation. This field contains the
size of the application private data in mbufs.

Introduce new static inline functions rte_mbuf_from_indirect()
and rte_mbuf_to_baddr() to replace the existing macros, which
take the private size in account when attaching and detaching
mbufs.
