This is the TCP counterpart to the UDP multi-iov series. It converts the TCP vhost-user receive path from direct pointer arithmetic (via vu_eth(), vu_ip(), etc.) to the iov_tail abstraction, removing the assumption that all headers reside in a single contiguous buffer. With this series applied, the TCP path correctly handles virtio-net drivers that provide multiple buffers per virtqueue element (e.g. iPXE provides the vnet header in the first buffer and the frame payload in a second one), matching the support already present in the UDP path.

New subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] tcp: Encode checksum computation flags in a single parameter

tcp_fill_headers() takes a pointer to a previously computed IPv4 header checksum to avoid recalculating it when the payload length doesn't change, and a separate bool to skip TCP checksum computation. Replace both parameters with a single uint32_t csum_flags that encodes: - IP4_CSUM (bit 31): compute IPv4 header checksum from scratch - TCP_CSUM (bit 30): compute TCP checksum - IP4_CMASK (low 16 bits): cached IPv4 header checksum value When IP4_CSUM is not set, the cached checksum is extracted from the low 16 bits. This is cleaner than the pointer-based approach, and also avoids a potential dangling pointer issue: a subsequent patch makes tcp_fill_headers() access ip4h via with_header(), which scopes it to a temporary variable, so a pointer to ip4h->check would become invalid after the with_header() block.

New subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] tcp_vu: Build headers on the stack and write them into the iovec

tcp_vu_prepare() currently assumes the first iovec element provided by the guest is large enough to hold all L2-L4 headers, and builds them in place via pointer casts into iov[0].iov_base. This assumption is enforced by an assert(). Since the headers in the buffer are uninitialized anyway, we can just as well build the Ethernet, IP, and TCP headers on the stack instead, and write them into the iovec with IOV_PUSH_HEADER(). This mirrors the approach already used in udp_vu_prepare(), and prepares for support of elements with multiple iovecs.

New subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] tcp_vu: Support multibuffer frames in tcp_vu_sock_recv()

Previously, tcp_vu_sock_recv() assumed a 1:1 mapping between virtqueue elements and iovecs (one iovec per element), enforced by an ASSERT. This prevented the use of virtqueue elements with multiple buffers (e.g. when mergeable rx buffers are not negotiated and headers are provided in a separate buffer). Introduce a struct vu_frame to track per-frame metadata: the range of elements and iovecs that make up each frame, and the frame's total size. This replaces the head[] array which only tracked element indices. A separate iov_msg[] array is built for recvmsg() by cloning the data portions (after stripping headers) using iov_tail helpers. Then a frame truncation after recvmsg() properly walks the frame and element arrays to adjust iovec counts and element counts.

New subject: [PATCH v5 4/4] tcp_vu: Support multibuffer frames in tcp_vu_send_flag()

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.
