Hi Olivier,

The data_room_size parameter description for the mbuf pool creation functions 
says:
"Size of data buffer in each mbuf, including RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM."

Furthermore, both rte_mbuf_data_iova_default() and rte_mbuf_data_addr_default() 
simply add RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM to the return value.

Based on the above, I would think that it is impossible for m->buf_len to be 
smaller than RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM.

So why does rte_pktmbuf_reset_headroom() use RTE_MIN(m->buf_len, 
RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM), instead of just RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM? What am I missing 
here?


Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,
