Inspired by ixgbe_tx_free_bufs(), but allowing NULL pointers\n  in the array, just like rte_pktmbuf_free() can take a NULL pointer.\n* Use unsigned int instead of unsigned. Passes checkpatch, but\n  mismatches the original coding style of the modified files.\n* Fix a typo in the description headline: mempools is plural.\n\n\nMorten Brørup (2):\n  mbuf: add bulk free function\n  mbuf: add unit test for bulk alloc/free functions\n\n app/test/test_mbuf.c                 | 179 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.c           |  66 ++++++++++\n lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf.h           |  15 +++\n lib/librte_mbuf/rte_mbuf_version.map |   1 +\n 4 files changed, 261 insertions(+)"
