[ovs-dev] [PATCH v10 10/14] netdev-dpdk: copy large packet to multi-seg. mbufs

From: Mark Kavanagh <mark.b.kavanagh at intel.com>

Currently, packets are only copied to a single segment in the function
dpdk_do_tx_copy(). This could be an issue in the case of jumbo frames,
particularly when multi-segment mbufs are involved.

This patch calculates the number of segments needed by a packet and
copies the data to each segment.

A new function, dpdk_buf_alloc(), has also been introduced as a wrapper
around the nonpmd_mp_mutex to serialise allocations from a non-pmd
context.
