[v6,4/5] mbuf: add a pktmbuf copy routine
Checks
Commit Message
This is a commonly used operation that surprisingly the
DPDK has not supported. The new rte_pktmbuf_copy does a
deep copy of packet. This is a complete copy including
meta-data.
It handles the case where the source mbuf comes from a pool
with larger data area than the destination pool. The routine
also has options for skipping data, or truncating at a fixed
length.
This patch also introduces internal inline to copy the
metadata fields of mbuf.

Squashed with next patch, since a separate patch for the test added not much.
Applied, thanks.
