do_cpu_mem_copy uses DPDK API rte_mbuf_data_iova to return
the start of the virtual address for both src and dst.
But in case of iova mode set as PA, this results in seg-fault.
This is because rte_memcpy VA address and not PA.
this fix checks the iova mode and invokes rte_memcpy with the right
arguments.

[Anoob] Even in case of VA as IOVA, rte_pktmbuf_mtod() should work, right? I was imagining a simple replacement of ' rte_mbuf_data_iova' with 'rte_pktmbuf_mtod' as the fix.

Ferruh and myself believe the rte_mbuf_data_iova should have been working for both PA and VA. But internally does not.
I think what you are recommending is for both PA and VA just use ` rte_pktmbuf_mtod` for both. Thus we can avoid the check itself.

Use _const_ in fast path if src and dst in not changing as better
optimization hint to compiler.

Thank you for fixing it.

Hi Jerrin,
Apologies for the delay, I missed on the comment

```
Thanks for the suggestion, but may I ask this differently `rte_memcpy` is defined with `always_inline` and all places where src used is with `const *`. Hence I have different view there as `setting const * for always_inline definition has the same effect too`.

Yeah, most likely. However, Is the above behavior is documented in
gcc/clang? if not, the compiler is free to change as it deemed to fit
based on the register allocation and optimization flags etc.

do_cpu_mem_copy uses DPDK API rte_mbuf_data_iova to return
the start of the virtual address for both src and dst.
But in case of iova mode set as PA, this results in seg-fault.
This is because rte_memcpy uses VA address and not PA.
This fix invokes `rte_pktmbuf_mtod` for both src and dst.
