Subject: [PATCH 01/12] iov: Add iov_tail_truncate() and iov_tail_zero_end()
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:03:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227140330.2216753-2-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227140330.2216753-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
iov_tail_truncate() truncates a tail so it contains at most a given
number of bytes from the current position, adjusting both the last
iovec entry and the buffer count.
iov_tail_zero_end() zero-fills all backing buffer bytes beyond a given
number of leading bytes from the current tail position and can be
used to clear trailing padding in fixed-size frames.
