Subject: [PATCH v5 4/8] udp_vu: Move virtqueue management from udp_vu_sock_recv() to its caller
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:58:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327175834.831995-5-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327175834.831995-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
udp_vu_sock_recv() currently mixes two concerns: receiving data from the
socket and managing virtqueue buffers (collecting, rewinding, releasing).
This makes the function harder to reason about and couples socket I/O
with virtqueue state.
Move all virtqueue operations, vu_collect(), vu_init_elem(),
vu_queue_rewind(), vu_set_vnethdr(), and the queue-readiness check, into
udp_vu_sock_to_tap(), which is the only caller. This turns
udp_vu_sock_recv() into a pure socket receive function that simply reads
into the provided iov array and adjusts its length.
