Please don't use always inline, frustrating the compiler isn't going
to help.

+	int nb_free = 0;
+	struct rte_mbuf *m, *free[VIRTIO_TX_MAX_FREE_BUF_SZ];
+
+	desc_idx = (uint16_t)(vq->vq_used_cons_idx &
+		((vq->vq_nentries >> 1) - 1));
+	free[0] = (struct rte_mbuf *)vq->vq_descx[desc_idx++].cookie;
+	nb_free = 1;
+
+	for (i = 1; i < VIRTIO_TX_FREE_NR; i++) {
+		m = (struct rte_mbuf *)vq->vq_descx[desc_idx++].cookie;
+		if (likely(m->pool == free[0]->pool))
+			free[nb_free++] = m;
+		else {
+			rte_mempool_put_bulk(free[0]->pool, (void **)free,
+				nb_free);
+			free[0] = m;
+			nb_free = 1;
+		}
+	}
+
+	rte_mempool_put_bulk(free[0]->pool, (void **)free, nb_free);
+	vq->vq_used_cons_idx += VIRTIO_TX_FREE_NR;
+	vq->vq_free_cnt += (VIRTIO_TX_FREE_NR << 1);

+	return;

Don't add return; at end of void functions. It only clutters
things for no reason.
