In which way this patch improves the dequeue logic?
Is it improving the performance somehow? From what I see, it is unlikely that you are going to
experience the problem, as the internal ring is PERF_NUM_OPS_INFLIGHT, which is 128,
higher than pparams->burst_size * NUM_MBUF_SETS, which is 256.
And even if you do meet that problem, then you would be reusing mbufs,
but that is OK as we are not verifying the output.


Thanks,
Pablo
