Subject: [PATCH v2] pasta: make it possible to disable socket splicing
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2024 17:49:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241129224946.2664970-1-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
During testing it is sometimes useful to force traffic which would
normally be forwared by socket splicing through the tap interface.
In this commit, we add a command switch enabling such funtionality
for inbound local traffic.
For outbound local traffic this is much trickier, if even possible,
so leave that for a later commit.
