[PATCH v3 35/36] net/intel: use vector mbuf cleanup from simple scalar path

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Fri Jan 30 12:42:02 CET 2026


Since the simple scalar path now uses the vector Tx entry struct, we can
leverage the vector mbuf cleanup function from that path and avoid
having a separate cleanup function for it.
