When enabled with DPDK OvS deals with two types of packets, the ones coming from the mempool and the ones locally created by OvS - which are copied to mempool mbufs before output. In the latter, the space is allocated from the system, while in the former the mbufs are allocated from a mempool, which takes care of initialising them appropriately.
In the current implementation, during mempool's initialisation of mbufs, dp_packet_set_allocated() is called from dp_packet_init_dpdk() without considering that the allocated space, in the case of multi-segment mbufs, might be greater than a single mbuf. Furthermore, given that dp_packet_init_dpdk() is on the code path that's called upon mempool's initialisation, a call to dp_packet_set_allocated() is redundant, since mempool takes care of initialising it. To fix this, dp_packet_set_allocated() is no longer called after initialisation of a mempool, only in dp_packet_init__(), which is still called by OvS when initialising locally created packets.
