[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH 02/14] mbuf: remove rte_ctrlmbuf

2014-08-11 Thread Bruce Richardson
From: Olivier Matz The initial role of rte_ctrlmbuf is to carry generic messages (data pointer + data length) but it's not used by the DPDK or it applications. Keeping it implies: - loosing 1 byte in the rte_mbuf structure - having some dead code rte_mbuf.[ch] This patch removes this feature
