* Segmentation function, which supports processing of both single- and
* multi- MBUF packets.
*
* Note that we refer to the packets that are segmented from the input
* packet as 'GSO segments'. rte_gso_segment() doesn't check if the
* input packet has correct checksums, and doesn't update checksums for
* output GSO segments. Additionally, it doesn't process IP fragment
* packets.
*
* Before calling rte_gso_segment(), applications must set proper ol_flags
* for the packet. The GSO library uses the same macros as that of TSO.
* For example, set PKT_TX_TCP_SEG and PKT_TX_IPV4 in ol_flags to segment
* a TCP/IPv4 packet. If rte_gso_segment() succeeds, the PKT_TX_TCP_SEG
* flag is removed for all GSO segments and the input packet.
*
* Each of the newly-created GSO segments is organized as a two-segment
* MBUF, where the first segment is a standard MBUF, which stores a copy
* of packet header, and the second is an indirect MBUF which points to
* a section of data in the input packet. Since each GSO segment has
* multiple MBUFs (i.e. typically 2 MBUFs), the driver of the interface which
* the GSO segments are sent to should support transmission of multi-segment
* packets.
*
* If the input packet is GSO'd, its mbuf refcnt reduces by 1. Therefore,
* when all GSO segments are freed, the input packet is freed automatically.
*
* If the memory space in pkts_out or MBUF pools is insufficient, this
* function fails, and it returns (-1) * errno. Otherwise, GSO succeeds,
* and this function returns the number of output GSO segments filled in
* pkts_out.
*
* @param pkt
* The packet mbuf to segment.
* @param ctx
* GSO context object pointer.
* @param pkts_out
* Pointer array used to store the MBUF addresses of output GSO
* segments, when rte_gso_segment() succeeds.
* @param nb_pkts_out
* The max number of items that pkts_out can keep.
*
* @return
* - The number of GSO segments filled in pkts_out on success.
* - Return -ENOMEM if run out of memory in MBUF pools.
* - Return -EINVAL for invalid parameters.
