69  * Segmentation function, which supports processing of both single- and
70  * multi- MBUF packets.
71  *
72  * Note that we refer to the packets that are segmented from the input
73  * packet as 'GSO segments'. rte_gso_segment() doesn't check if the
74  * input packet has correct checksums, and doesn't update checksums for
75  * output GSO segments. Additionally, it doesn't process IP fragment
76  * packets.
77  *
78  * Before calling rte_gso_segment(), applications must set proper ol_flags
79  * for the packet. The GSO library uses the same macros as that of TSO.
80  * For example, set RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TCP_SEG and RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IPV4 in ol_flags to segment
81  * a TCP/IPv4 packet. If rte_gso_segment() succeeds, the RTE_MBUF_F_TX_TCP_SEG
82  * flag is removed for all GSO segments and the input packet.
83  *
84  * Each of the newly-created GSO segments is organized as a two-segment
85  * MBUF, where the first segment is a standard MBUF, which stores a copy
86  * of packet header, and the second is an indirect MBUF which points to
87  * a section of data in the input packet. Since each GSO segment has
88  * multiple MBUFs (i.e. typically 2 MBUFs), the driver of the interface which
89  * the GSO segments are sent to should support transmission of multi-segment
90  * packets.
91  *
92  * If the input packet is GSO'd, all the indirect segments are attached to the
93  * input packet.
94  *
95  * rte_gso_segment() will not free the input packet no matter whether it is
96  * GSO'd or not, the application should free it after calling rte_gso_segment().
97  *
98  * If the memory space in pkts_out or MBUF pools is insufficient, this
99  * function fails, and it returns (-1) * errno. Otherwise, GSO succeeds,
100  * and this function returns the number of output GSO segments filled in
101  * pkts_out.
102  *
103  * @param pkt
104  *  The packet mbuf to segment.
105  * @param ctx
106  *  GSO context object pointer.
107  * @param pkts_out
108  *  Pointer array used to store the MBUF addresses of output GSO
109  *  segments, when rte_gso_segment() succeeds.
110  * @param nb_pkts_out
111  *  The max number of items that pkts_out can keep.
112  *
113  * @return
114  *  - The number of GSO segments filled in pkts_out on success.
115  *  - Return 0 if it does not need to be GSO'd.
116  *  - Return -ENOMEM if run out of memory in MBUF pools.
117  *  - Return -ENOTSUP for protocols that can not be segmented.
118  *  - Return -EINVAL for invalid parameters.
