When a hash entry is added, there are 2 sets of stores.
1) The application writes its data to memory (whose address
is provided in rte_hash_add_key_with_hash_data API (or NULL))
2) The rte_hash library writes to its own internal data structures;
key store entry and the hash table.
The only ordering requirement between these 2 is that - store
to the application data must complete before the store to key_index.
There are no ordering requirements between the stores to
key/signature and store to application data. The synchronization
point for application data can be any point between the 'store to
application data' and 'store to the key_index'. So, 'pdata' should not
be a guard variable for the data in hash table. It should be a guard
variable only for the application data written to the memory location
pointed by 'pdata'. Hence, in the lookup functions, 'pdata' can be
loaded after full key comparison succeeds.
The synchronization point for the application data (store-release
to 'pdata' in key store) is changed to be consistent with the order
of loads in lookup function. However, this change is cosmetic and
does not affect the functionality.

During mempool creation, octeontx2 mempool driver populates pool range

those ops result in npa range errors. Patch adds a routine to read back
HW context and verify if range fields are updated or not.
Currently PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM is being set into mbuf->ol_flags

Because of this, application is forced to use checksum offload
whether it is supported by platform or not.
Also documentation does not provide any expected value of ol_flags
in returned mbuf (reassembled or fragmented) so application will never
come to know that which offloads are enabled. So transmission may be failed

Also, IPv6 does not contain any checksum field in header so setting
