Subject: [PATCH 03/12] udp_vu: Use iov_tail to manage virtqueue buffers
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:03:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227140330.2216753-4-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227140330.2216753-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

Replace direct iovec pointer arithmetic in UDP vhost-user handling with
iov_tail operations introduced in the previous commit.

udp_vu_sock_recv() now takes a struct iov_tail and returns the received
data length rather than the number of iov entries used.  It uses
iov_drop_header() to skip past L2/L3/L4 headers before receiving socket
data, iov_tail_truncate() to trim unused buffer space, and
iov_tail_zero_end() to zero-pad short frames instead of vu_pad().

udp_vu_prepare() and udp_vu_csum() take a const struct iov_tail instead
of referencing the file-scoped iov_vu array directly, making data flow
explicit.

udp_vu_csum() uses iov_drop_header() and IOV_REMOVE_HEADER() to locate
the UDP header and payload, replacing manual offset calculations via
vu_payloadv4()/vu_payloadv6().
