There is no guarantee that m->data_off == RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM here as virtqueue_enqueue_recv_refill() is called on a mbuf that is just allocated with rte_mbuf_raw_alloc(). An alternative would be to set data_off to RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM, but as it's a fix and we are close to the release, I prefered to restore the initial behavior. I did not include the test plan because it relies on patch that are not submitted yet (offload patches, they will be upstreamed very soon). It is a quite simple test case with testpmd.
