Re: [PATCH v2] ixgbe: fix check for split packets

[Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@linaro.org>]

Hi,

And what happens if someone changes RTE_IXGBE_VPMD_RX_BURST to something 
else than 32? I guess this bug were introduced when someone raised it 
from 16 to 32
I think you are better off with a for loop which uses this value. Or at 
least make a comment around RTE_IXGBE_VPMD_RX_BURST that if you change 
that value this check should be modified as well.

Regards,

Zoltan
