Subject: [PATCH 1/7] tap: Move the tap_hdr file to a separate file
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 00:28:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904212826.41027-2-aerosound161@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904212826.41027-1-aerosound161@gmail.com>
From: Ammar Yasser <aerosound161@gmail.com>
It was defined in tap.h, put it on its own so that future callers won't
need to depend on all definitions in tap.h.
Also turn it into a union of a vnet_len and virtio_net_mrg_rxbuf
because for vhost acceleration the frames will have this virtio net
header prepended to them.
