[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/4] net/mlx5: remove Tx descriptor reserved field usage

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@mellanox.com>]

The current Tx datapath implementation in mlx5 PMD uses the
16-bit reserved field within transmit descriptor to store
the indices of the elts array keeping the mbuf pointers to be
freed on transmit completion. On completion PMD fetches the
descriptor index, then fetches the elts array index from
reserved field and frees the mbufs.

The new ConnectX-6DX NIC might use this reserved descriptor
field and existing implementation might not work in intended way.
To resolve this issue the dedicated buffer is introduced to
store indices to instead of descriptor field.
