I liked your idea, so I defined RTE_MBUF_CLONED() and wanted to deprecate
RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT() in the coming release. But RTE_MBUF_DIRECT() can't be
(!RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()) because it will logically include RTE_MBUF_HAS_EXTBUF().
I'm not sure I understand you correctly.
Can you please give me more guidelines so that I can take you idea?
Thanks,
Yongseok
