Hi Declan,
Your patchset is pending for an answer to this comment.
2014-08-20 15:54, Sanford, Robert:

> The API expects that the caller will free them or try again to send them.

> Here is one way to accomplish selective freeing: Move mbuf pointers of
> packets successfully enqueued, to the beginning of the caller's mbuf
> vector; move mbuf pointers of packets not enqueued, to the end of the
> caller's mbuf list. Although possibly re-ordered, the caller will be able
> to free/resend all (and only) mbufs that we failed to enqueue.
