This\nis better than having the application store the pointer to the external\nmetadata in the packet headroom, as it saves an additional cache-line\nfrom being used.\n\nApart from storing metadata, this field also provides a general 8-byte\nscratch space inside the mbuf for any other application uses that are\napplicable.\n\nSigned-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>\n---\n lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/include/exec-env/rte_kni_common.h | 3 ++-\n lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h                                    | 3 +++\n 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)",
