[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: remove unnecessary memset for virtio net hdr

[Yuanhan Liu]

We have to reset the virtio net hdr at virtio_enqueue_offload()
before, due to all mbufs share a single virtio_hdr structure:

struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf virtio_hdr = {{0, }, 0};

foreach (mbuf) {
virtio_enqueue_offload(mbuf, _hdr.hdr);

copy net hdr and mbuf to desc buf
}

However, after the vhost rxtx refactor, the code looks like:

copy_mbuf_to_desc(mbuf)
{
struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf virtio_hdr = {{0, }, 0}

virtio_enqueue_offload(mbuf, _hdr.hdr);

copy net hdr and mbuf to desc buf
}

foreach (mbuf) {
copy_mbuf_to_desc(mbuf);
}

Therefore, the memset at virtio_enqueue_offload() is not necessary
any more; remove it.
