I now noticed that the vector functions also does:
nb_pkts = RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR(nb_pkts, RTE_I40E_DESCS_PER_LOOP);

I am not sure about this, but if I read it correctly, calling rte_eth_rx_burst() with nb_pkts = 33 (not 32) would only return 32 packets, even if more packets are available. (I assume that RTE_I40E_DESCS_PER_LOOP is 32.) In this case, I guess that you need to read the remaining of the requested packets using the non-vector function in order to support any nb_pkts value.

That is, unless the rte_eth_rx_burst() API is extended with requirements to nb_pkts, as discussed in the other thread:
