[dpdk-dev] i40e_xmit_fixed_burst_vec not consider the case rte_mbuf has multiple segments

[Vic Wang(BJ-RD)]

Hi,

When I study the code of i40e_xmit_pkts_vec in dpdk, I have some questions for the code.
The i40e_xmit_pkts_vec function calls the i40e_xmit_fixed_burst_vec.
I see it just transmits the tx_pkts one by one, but it doesn’t consider the case the tx_pkts have multiple segments.

In the receive routine, there is the i40e_recv_pkts_scattered_vec to cover the case of multiple segments. Then, if the receive packets with multiple segments forword to the tx queue, how to transmit the packet with multiple segments?
I think the i40e_xmit_pkts_vec function cannot cover it.

}

If there is any insight for the above, thanks for your comment.
