Konstantin has correctly pointed out that the previously applied fix: b35d0d80f0a8 ("ixgbe: check mbuf refcnt when clearing a ring") is not a proper fix for the reported issue at all. Ref: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.dpdk.devel/21932
This patch set reverts the original fix, and applies a better fix for the issue, as well as performing other cleanups in the code in question, to try and avoid future issues. v2 chages: - Make sure that rx_using_sse is reset to zero if scalar RX function was chosen. - fix checkpatch.pl errors. - fix remaining wrong typecast.
