+ * Attach an external buffer to a mbuf.
+ *
+ * User-managed anonymous buffer can be attached to an mbuf. When attaching
+ * it, corresponding free callback function and its argument should be
+ * provided via shinfo. This callback function will be called once all the
+ * mbufs are detached from the buffer (refcnt becomes zero).
+ *
+ * The headroom for the attaching mbuf will be set to zero and this can be
+ * properly adjusted after attachment. For example, ``rte_pktmbuf_adj()``
+ * or ``rte_pktmbuf_reset_headroom()`` might be used.
+ *
+ * More mbufs can be attached to the same external buffer by
+ * ``rte_pktmbuf_attach()`` once the external buffer has been attached by
+ * this API.
+ *
+ * Detachment can be done by either ``rte_pktmbuf_detach_extbuf()`` or
+ * ``rte_pktmbuf_detach()``.
+ *
+ * Memory for shared data must be provided and user must initialize all of
+ * the content properly, escpecially free callback and refcnt. The pointer
+ * of shared data will be stored in m->shinfo.
+ * ``rte_pktmbuf_ext_shinfo_init_helper`` can help to simply spare a few
+ * bytes at the end of buffer for the shared data, store free callback and
+ * its argument and set the refcnt to 1. The following is an example:
+ *
+ * struct rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info *shinfo =
+ * rte_pktmbuf_ext_shinfo_init_helper(buf_addr, &buf_len,
+ * free_cb, fcb_arg);
+ * rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf(m, buf_addr, buf_iova, buf_len, shinfo);
+ * rte_pktmbuf_reset_headroom(m);
+ * rte_pktmbuf_adj(m, data_len);
+ *
+ * Attaching an external buffer is quite similar to mbuf indirection in
+ * replacing buffer addresses and length of a mbuf, but a few differences:
+ * - When an indirect mbuf is attached, refcnt of the direct mbuf would be
+ * 2 as long as the direct mbuf itself isn't freed after the attachment.
+ * In such cases, the buffer area of a direct mbuf must be read-only. But
+ * external buffer has its own refcnt and it starts from 1. Unless
+ * multiple mbufs are attached to a mbuf having an external buffer, the
+ * external buffer is writable.
+ * - There's no need to allocate buffer from a mempool. Any buffer can be
+ * attached with appropriate free callback and its IO address.
+ * - Smaller metadata is required to maintain shared data such as refcnt.
+ *
+ * @warning
+ * @b EXPERIMENTAL: This API may change without prior notice.
+ * Once external buffer is enabled by allowing experimental API,
+ * ``RTE_MBUF_DIRECT()`` and ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()`` are no longer
+ * exclusive. A mbuf can be considered direct if it is neither indirect nor
+ * having external buffer.
+ *
+ * @param m
+ * The pointer to the mbuf.
+ * @param buf_addr
+ * The pointer to the external buffer.
+ * @param buf_iova
+ * IO address of the external buffer.
+ * @param buf_len
+ * The size of the external buffer.
+ * @param shinfo
+ * User-provided memory for shared data of the external buffer.
