Re: [dpdk-dev] Query on the modified rte_mbuf structure

[Tapio Tallgren <tapio.tallgren@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am not sure if I understand the question correctly, but there was a
change to the rte_mbuf structure with
patch ea672a8b1655bbb44876d2550ff56f384968a43b. It got rid of the pkt
member in rte_mbuf. Here is an example of how to fix it:

-               eth_hdr = (struct ether_hdr *) mb->pkt.data;
+               eth_hdr = (struct ether_hdr *) mb->data;

Another way of answering your question is that it is "data" in rte_mbuf:

-       struct rte_pktmbuf pkt;
+       /* valid for any segment */
+       struct rte_mbuf *next;  /**< Next segment of scattered packet. */
+       void* data;             /**< Start address of data in segment
buffer. */
+       uint16_t data_len;      /**< Amount of data in segment buffer. */
