[PATCH] mbuf: add mbuf physical address field to dynamic field

2022-06-30 Thread Shijith Thotton
If all devices are configured to run in IOVA mode as VA, physical address field of mbuf (buf_iova) won't be used. In such cases, buf_iova space is free to use as a dynamic field. So a new dynamic field member (dynfield2) is added in mbuf structure to make use of that space. A new mbuf flag RTE_MBU
