Subject: [PATCH 3/7] tcp_vu: Use iov_tail helpers to build headers in tcp_vu_prepare()
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 17:52:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323165259.1253482-4-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323165259.1253482-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

Replace direct pointer arithmetic using vu_eth(), vu_ip(),
vu_payloadv4() and vu_payloadv6() with the iov_tail abstraction
to build Ethernet, IP and TCP headers in tcp_vu_prepare().

This removes the assumption that all headers reside in a single
contiguous iov entry.
