Subject: [PATCH v5 8/8] udp: Pass iov_tail to udp_update_hdr4()/udp_update_hdr6()
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:58:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327175834.831995-9-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327175834.831995-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Change udp_update_hdr4() and udp_update_hdr6() to take an iov_tail
pointing at the UDP frame instead of a contiguous udp_payload_t buffer
and explicit data length. This lets vhost-user pass scatter-gather
virtqueue buffers directly without an intermediate copy.
The UDP header is built into a local struct udphdr and written back with
IOV_PUSH_HEADER(). On the tap side, udp_tap_prepare() wraps the
existing udp_payload_t in a two-element iov to match the new interface.
