>
> m->nb_seg must be reset on mbuf free whatever the value of m->next,
> because it can happen that m->nb_seg is != 1. For instance in this
> case:
>
> m1 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
> rte_pktmbuf_append(m1, 500);
> m2 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
> rte_pktmbuf_append(m2, 500);
> rte_pktmbuf_chain(m1, m2);
> m0 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
> rte_pktmbuf_append(m0, 500);
> rte_pktmbuf_chain(m0, m1);
>
> As rte_pktmbuf_chain() does not reset nb_seg in the initial m1 segment (this
> is not required), after this code the mbuf chain have 3 segments:
> - m0: next=m1, nb_seg=3
> - m1: next=m2, nb_seg=2
> - m2: next=NULL, nb_seg=1
>
> Then split this chain between m1 and m2, it would result in 2 packets:
> - first packet
> - m0: next=m1, nb_seg=2
> - m1: next=NULL, nb_seg=2
> - second packet
> - m2: next=NULL, nb_seg=1
>
> Freeing the first packet will not restore nb_seg=1 in the second segment.
> This is an issue because it is expected that mbufs stored in pool have their
> nb_seg field set to 1.
>
> Fixes: 8f094a9ac5d7 ("mbuf: set mbuf fields while in pool")
