Subject: [PATCH v5 7/8] iov: Introduce IOV_PUSH_HEADER() macro
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:58:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327175834.831995-8-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327175834.831995-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Add iov_push_header_() and its typed wrapper IOV_PUSH_HEADER() to write
a header into an iov_tail at the current offset and advance past it.
This is the write counterpart to IOV_PEEK_HEADER() / IOV_REMOVE_HEADER(),
using iov_from_buf() to copy the header data across iovec boundaries.
