tun: switch to new type of msg_control
This patch introduces to a new tun/tap specific msg_control: #define TUN_MSG_UBUF 1 #define TUN_MSG_PTR 2 struct tun_msg_ctl { int type; void *ptr; }; This allows us to pass different kinds of msg_control through sendmsg(). The first supported type is ubuf (TUN_MSG_UBUF) which will be used by the existed vhost_net zerocopy code. The second is XDP buff, which allows vhost_net to pass XDP buff to TUN. This could be used to implement accepting an array of XDP buffs from vhost_net in the following patches. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
