Enabling this flag should only be done when the calling application does
not pre-fault the guest shared memory, otherwise migration would fail.
+ - ``RTE_VHOST_USER_LINEARBUF_SUPPORT``
+
+ Enabling this flag forces vhost dequeue function to only provide linear
+ pktmbuf (no multi-segmented pktmbuf).
+
+ The vhost library by default provides a single pktmbuf for given a
+ packet, but if for some reason the data doesn't fit into a single
+ pktmbuf (e.g., TSO is enabled), the library will allocate additional
+ pktmbufs from the same mempool and chain them together to create a
+ multi-segmented pktmbuf.
+
+ However, the vhost application needs to support multi-segmented format.
+ If the vhost application does not support that format and requires large
+ buffers to be dequeue, this flag should be enabled to force only linear
+ buffers (see RTE_VHOST_USER_EXTBUF_SUPPORT) or drop the packet.
+
+ It is disabled by default.
+
+ - ``RTE_VHOST_USER_EXTBUF_SUPPORT``
+
+ Enabling this flag allows vhost dequeue function to allocate and attach
+ an external buffer to a pktmbuf if the pkmbuf doesn't provide enough
+ space to store all data.
+
+ This is useful when the vhost application wants to support large packets
+ but doesn't want to increase the default mempool object size nor to
+ support multi-segmented mbufs (non-linear). In this case, a fresh buffer
+ is allocated using rte_malloc() which gets attached to a pktmbuf using
+ rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf().
+
+ See RTE_VHOST_USER_LINEARBUF_SUPPORT as well to disable multi-segmented
+ mbufs for application that doesn't support chained mbufs.
+
+ It is disabled by default.
