> The reason is, same scatter gather buffer list is being used for all packet sizes
> which is initialized once in the beginning.
> Now if a small packet case is run first, mbuf SG list will be trimmed to a smaller
> number of SG and rest of the SGs are lost resulting in segfault.
> Buffers cannot be re-initialized as that will come in datapath and will be costly.
> So to workaround this, if segment-sz is passed as argument, use values in
> buffer-sz in descending order.
