[PATCH v7 6/7] app/testpmd: add commands to dump mbuf history
Thomas Monjalon

Thu Oct 16 22:34:44 CEST 2025
Dump the mbuf history to the console or to a file.
The dump will contain:
- Operation history for each mbuf
- Summary and statistics about all mbufs
Dump the history of all mbufs:
testpmd> dump mbuf history all [file]
Dump the history of one mbuf:
testpmd> dump mbuf history <mbuf_addr> [file]
Dump the history of one mbuf pool:
testpmd> dump mbuf pool history <mp_name> [file]
