As I remember both of them sets vlan_tci as part of 16B shuffle operation. Something like that: pkt_mb4 = _mm_shuffle_epi8(descs[3], shuf_msk); ... mm_storeu_si128((void *)&rx_pkts[pos+3]->rx_descriptor_fields1, pkt_mb4); But now vlan_tci is swapped with buf_len. Which means 2 things to me: It is more than 16B away from rx_descriptor_fields1 and can't be updated in one go anymore, and instead of vlan_tci we are updating buf_len. diff --git a/lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h b/lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h index fd97bd3..ada98d5 100644 --- a/lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h +++ b/lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h @@ -449,8 +449,7 @@ struct rte_mbuf { uint32_t pkt_len; /**< Total pkt len: sum of all segments. */ uint16_t data_len; /**< Amount of data in segment buffer. */ - /** VLAN TCI (CPU order), valid if PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED is set. */ - uint16_t vlan_tci; + uint16_t buf_len; /**< Size of segment buffer. */ union { uint32_t rss; /**< RSS hash result if RSS enabled */ @@ -475,11 +474,11 @@ struct rte_mbuf { uint32_t usr; /**< User defined tags.
