首先看报文是如何收上来的, 调用device的rx_pkt_burst

static inline uint16_t
rte_eth_rx_burst(uint8_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id,
         struct rte_mbuf **rx_pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts)
{
    struct rte_eth_dev *dev;

    dev = &rte_eth_devices[port_id];
    return (*dev->rx_pkt_burst)(dev->data->rx_queues[queue_id], rx_pkts, nb_pkts);
}
