Subject: [PATCH v4 6/9] tap: change signature of function tap_push_l2h()
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 23:10:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820031005.2725591-7-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250820031005.2725591-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
In the following commits it must be possible for the callers of
function tap_push_l2h() to specify which source MAC address should
be added to the ethernet header sent over the tap interface. As
a preparation, we now add a new argument to that function, still
without actually using it.
