Not sure, but at least found:

static void __rte_cold
ixgbe_tx_queue_release_mbufs(struct ixgbe_tx_queue *txq)
{
	unsigned i;

	if (txq->sw_ring != NULL) {
		for (i = 0; i < txq->nb_tx_desc; i++) {
			if (txq->sw_ring[i].mbuf != NULL) {  <---------------------------- ?
				rte_pktmbuf_free_seg(txq->sw_ring[i].mbuf);
				txq->sw_ring[i].mbuf = NULL;
			}
		}
	}
}
