I'm trying to gather the comments that have been made on this patchset.
About this one, I think it would be more complex to change the code
to avoid to set the refcnt twice:
- we would need to duplicate code from rte_mbuf_refcnt_update(), which
I think is not a very good idea, due to the big comment
- it would make the detach code less readable
- it's even not sure that it will be more performant: since
rte_mbuf_refcnt_update() is inline, the compiler is probably able to
do the simplification by itself.
