Subject: [PATCH v4 3/7] pcapng: add additional mbuf if space required on copy
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:51:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113005154.44551-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113005154.44551-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
If comment is passed to rte_pcapng_copy(), additional space
may be needed at the end of the mbuf. To handle this case generate
a segmented mbuf with additional space for the options.
Fixes: c1abd1e93dbd ("pcapng: support comment in enhanced packet block")
