+ * 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() succceds, 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.
