Subject: [PATCH 04/12] udp_vu: Move virtqueue management from udp_vu_sock_recv() to its caller
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:03:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227140330.2216753-5-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227140330.2216753-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
udp_vu_sock_recv() currently mixes two concerns: receiving data from the
socket and managing virtqueue buffers (collecting, rewinding, releasing).
This makes the function harder to reason about and couples socket I/O
with virtqueue state.
Move all virtqueue operations, vu_collect(), vu_init_elem(),
vu_queue_rewind(), and the queue-readiness check, into
udp_vu_sock_to_tap(), which is the only caller. This turns
udp_vu_sock_recv() into a pure socket receive function that simply reads
into the provided iov_tail and adjusts its length.
