I'm sorry for my mistakes. I will fix it in next version.
what about following:

error = tap_write_mbufs(txq, num_mbufs, mbuf,
                     &num_packets, &num_tx_bytes);
if (error == -1) {
    txq->stats.errs++;
    /* free tso mbufs */
    for (j = 0; j < ret; j++)
        rte_pktmbuf_free(mbuf[j]);
    break;
}

Thanks
