Subject: [PATCH 09/10] tcp: Pass explicit data length to tcp_fill_headers()
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 21:18:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401191826.1782394-10-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401191826.1782394-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
tcp_fill_headers() computed the TCP payload length from iov_tail_size(),
but with vhost-user multibuffer frames, the iov_tail will be larger than
the actual data. Pass the data length explicitly so that IP total
length, pseudo-header, and checksum computations use the correct value.
