Laurent, sorry I didn't spot this earlier.
While working on other stuff I stumbled across these patches I wrote
quite a while back (part of a larger series on indefinite hiatus).
The first two patches have some overlap with the preliminary iovec
patches in the vhost-user series (and will certainly conflict). I do
think the pcap interface here is slightly better than the one in the
vhost-user series, although I did ack that.
Stefano, if you've already applied / run tests for Laurent's series
then go ahead with it; I'll rework this on top of those.
David Gibson (6):
util: Add helper to find offset into io vector
pcap: Update pcap_frame() to take an iovec and offset
util: Add write_remainder() helper
pcap: Handle short writes in pcap_frame()
pcap: Allow pcap_frame() and pcap_multiple() to take multi-buffer
frames
tap: Use write_remainder() in tap_send_frames_passt()
