Subject: mbuf: use 2 bytes for port and nb segments
X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~3790
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=97cb466d65c9;p=dpdk.git

mbuf: use 2 bytes for port and nb segments

Change the size of m->port and m->nb_segs to 16 bits. It is now possible
to reference a port identifier larger than 256 and have a mbuf chain
larger than 256 segments.
