Subject: [PATCH v5 2/8] vu_common: Move vnethdr setup into vu_flush()
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:58:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327175834.831995-3-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327175834.831995-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Every caller of vu_flush() was calling vu_set_vnethdr() beforehand with
the same pattern. Move it into vu_flush().
Remove vu_queue_notify() from vu_flush() and let callers invoke it
explicitly. This allows paths that perform multiple flushes, such as
tcp_vu_send_flag() and tcp_vu_data_from_sock(), to issue a single guest
notification at the end.
