Subject: [PATCH v5 6/7] app/testpmd: add commands to dump mbuf history
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 08:58:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014070517.922137-7-thomas@monjalon.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251014070517.922137-1-thomas@monjalon.net>

Dump the mbuf history to the console or to a file.

The dump will contain:
- Operation history for each mbuf
- Summary and statistics about all mbufs

Dump the history of all mbufs:
	testpmd> dump mbuf history all [file]

Dump the history of one mbuf pool:
	testpmd> dump mbuf history mempool <mp_name> [file]

Dump the history of one mbuf:
	testpmd> dump mbuf history one <mbuf_addr> [file]
