Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] udp_vu: Use iov_tail to manage virtqueue buffers
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:07:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316180721.2230640-6-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316180721.2230640-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Replace direct iovec pointer arithmetic in UDP vhost-user handling with
iov_tail operations.
udp_vu_sock_recv() now takes an iov/cnt pair instead of using the
file-scoped iov_vu array, and returns the data length rather than the
iov count. Internally it uses IOV_TAIL() to create a view past the
L2/L3/L4 headers, and iov_tail_clone() to build the recvmsg() iovec,
removing the manual pointer offset and restore pattern.
udp_vu_prepare() and udp_vu_csum() take a const struct iov_tail *
instead of referencing iov_vu 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().
