Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] tcp_vu: Support multibuffer frames in tcp_vu_send_flag()
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 19:09:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327180958.833430-6-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327180958.833430-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
Build the Ethernet, IP, and TCP headers on the stack instead of
directly in the buffer via pointer casts, then write them into the
iovec with IOV_PUSH_HEADER(). This mirrors the approach already used
in tcp_vu_prepare() and udp_vu_prepare().
Remove the vu_eth(), vu_ip(), vu_payloadv4() and vu_payloadv6() helpers
from vu_common.h, as they are no longer used anywhere.
Introduce tcp_vu_send_dup() to handle DUP_ACK duplication using
vu_collect() and iov_memcopy() instead of a plain memcpy(), so that
the duplicated frame is also properly scattered across multiple iovecs.
