Subject: [PATCH 4/6] tap: Don't risk truncating frames on full buffer in tap_pasta_input()
Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2024 22:02:33 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240903120235.1688429-5-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240903120235.1688429-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
tap_pasta_input() keeps reading frames from the tap device until the
buffer is full. However, this has an ugly edge case, when we get close
to buffer full, we will provide just the remaining space as a read()
buffer. If this is shorter than the next frame to read, the tap device
will truncate the frame and discard the remainder.
Adjust the code to make sure we always have room for a maximum size frame.
