Hi Stephen,

1. this patch do two thing (remove logtype and return -EINVAL), suggest seperate them.
2. I think we should keep rte_gso_segment return 0 when unmatch:
   a. the rte_gso_segment API requirement input mbuf set right ol_flags:
       * Before calling rte_gso_segment(), applications must set proper ol_flags
       * for the packet. The GSO library uses the same macros as that of TSO.
       * For example, set RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TCP_SEG and RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IPV4 in ol_flags to segment
       * a TCP/IPv4 packet. If rte_gso_segment() succeeds, the RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TCP_SEG
       * flag is removed for all GSO segments and the input packet.
   b. the rte_gso_segment filter and process mbuf according "struct rte_gso_ctx", for one
      stream which combine with udp and vxlan-tcp, we could only segment vxlan-tcp.

Thanks.
