Probably, a stupid question, but why can't we call mbuf_free() here instead fo decrementing refcnt manually: if (ret > 1) rte_pktmbuf_free(pkt); else if ... ? > > Thanks, > Jiayu > > > > Fixes: 119583797b6a ("gso: support TCP/IPv4 GSO") > > Signed-off-by: Yi Yang <yangyi01@inspur.com> > > --- > > doc/guides/prog_guide/generic_segmentation_offload_lib.rst | 7 +++++-- > > lib/librte_gso/rte_gso.c | 9 +-------- > > 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/doc/guides/prog_guide/generic_segmentation_offload_lib.rst > > b/doc/guides/prog_guide/generic_segmentation_offload_lib.rst > > index 205cb8a..8577572 100644 > > --- a/doc/guides/prog_guide/generic_segmentation_offload_lib.rst > > +++ b/doc/guides/prog_guide/generic_segmentation_offload_lib.rst > > @@ -25,8 +25,9 @@ Bearing that in mind, the GSO library enables DPDK > > applications to segment > > packets in software.
