[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] pktgen-dpdk: fix low performance in VM virtio pmd mode

[Bin Huang <huangbin.mails@gmail.com>]

pktgen pre-allocated TX data in mbuf would be modified by virtio pmd driver due to virtio pkt head extension.
it will caused mbuf data_len keep growing, packets size on wire growing, then tx pps performance drop.

set corresponding mbuf data_len in pktmbuf reset to fix it.
