Subject: [PATCH v2 09/13] vu_common: Pass iov_tail to vu_set_vnethdr()
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 10:47:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309094744.1907754-10-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309094744.1907754-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Refactor vu_set_vnethdr() to take an iov_tail pointer instead of a
direct pointer to the virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf structure.
This makes the function use IOV_PEEK_HEADER() and IOV_PUT_HEADER()
to read and write the virtio-net header through the iov_tail abstraction.
