[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/af_packet: fix vlan_insert corruption

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

If the af_packet transmit is sending a VLAN packet,
and the transmit path to the kernel os full, then it would
mismanage the outgoing mbuf. The original mbuf would end up
being freed twice, once by AF_PACKET PMD and once by caller.
