Konstantin has correctly pointed out that the previously applied fix: b35d0d80f0a8 ("ixgbe: check mbuf refcnt when clearing a ring") is not a proper fix for the reported issue at all. Ref: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.dpdk.devel/21932
This patch set reverts the original fix, and applies a better fix for the issue, as well as performing other cleanups in the code in question, to try and avoid future issues.
