Good catch.
I am curious to know how you noticed the issue since I see no in-tree
code asking for multiseg.


For the record, to check this patch, I compiled with
-DRTE_LIBRTE_MBUF_DEBUG and a small modification:

 }

 static int


Before the fix:

DPDK_TEST=pmd_perf_autotest ./build-gcc/app/test/dpdk-test --no-huge
-m 2048  --vdev=net_null0 --vdev=net_null1
...
Generate 4096 packets @socket 0
inject 2048 packet to port 0
PANIC in rte_mbuf_sanity_check():
bad pkt_len


Cc: ci@ in general, we should have more tests run with debug/check
options enabled.
