[PATCH RFC 4/5] tun: vringfd xmit support.

Rusty Russell rusty at rustcorp.com.au
Sat Apr 5 05:06:33 PDT 2008


This patch modifies tun to allow a vringfd to specify the send
buffer.  The user does a write to push out packets from the buffer.

Again, more thought needs to be put into the possible races with ring
registration.

Again we use the 'struct virtio_net_hdr' to allow userspace to send
GSO packets.  In this case, it can hint how much to copy, and the
other pages will be made into skb fragments.
