[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] net/tap: fix mbuf double free when writev fails

[wangyunjian <wangyunjian@huawei.com>]

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>

When the tap_write_mbufs() function return with break, mbuf was freed
without incrementing num_packets. This may lead applications also free
the mbuf. And the pmd_tx_burst() function should returns the number of
original packets it actually sent excluding tso mbufs.

Fixes: 9396ad334672 ("net/tap: fix reported number of Tx packets")
