Hello,

from my understanding after debugging, in test_refcnt_iter the return value of rte_ring_enqueue is not checked; leading to lack of expected mbufs at the end checks.

Here is some fix proposal that seems to work after running endurance tests for several days:

                                rte_pktmbuf_refcnt_update(m, 1);
-                               rte_ring_enqueue(refcnt_mbuf_ring, m);

                        }
                }
                rte_pktmbuf_free(m);

Can you confirm ?

Thank,
