Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] iov: Add IOV_PUT_HEADER() and with_header() to write header data back to iov_tail
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:07:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316180721.2230640-8-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316180721.2230640-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Add iov_put_header_() and its wrapper macro IOV_PUT_HEADER() as a
counterpart to IOV_PEEK_HEADER(). This writes header data back to an
iov_tail after modification. If the header pointer matches the
original iov buffer location, the data was already modified in place
and no copy is needed. Otherwise, it copies the data back using
iov_from_buf().
Add with_header(), a for-loop macro that combines IOV_PEEK_HEADER()
and IOV_PUT_HEADER() to allow modifying a header in place within a
block scope.
