Hi dpdk-dev,
  test-pmd txonly leaks mbuf from the pool.
tx_mbuf_alloc does not change the refcnt and the refcnt is 0 when it is
first allocated.

 However, rte_pktmbuf_free_seg called by the driver's xmit code decrements
reference count to -1. So mbuf never goes back to the pool.

 As a result, txonly can't send packets after it exhausts the mempool.
There might be multiple ways to fix this. I decided not to touch
memory management.

Thanks,
-Dongsu Han
