Subject: [PATCH 1/8] udp: Move sending pasta tap frames to the end of udp_sock_handler()
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2022 19:14:18 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221205081425.2614425-2-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221205081425.2614425-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
udp_sock_handler() has a surprising difference in flow between pasta and
passt mode: For pasta we send each frame to the tap interface as we prepare
it. For passt, though, we prepare all the frames, then send them with a
single sendmmsg().
Alter the pasta path to also prepare all the frames, then send them at the
end. We already have a suitable data structure for the passt case. This
will make it easier to abstract out the tap backend difference in future.
