Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/7] netpoll: factor out IPv6 header setup into push_ipv6() helper
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2025 10:55:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250627-netpoll_untagle_ip-v1-3-61a21692f84a@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250627-netpoll_untagle_ip-v1-0-61a21692f84a@debian.org>
Move IPv6 header construction from netpoll_send_udp() into a new
static helper function, push_ipv6(). This refactoring reduces code
duplication and improves readability in netpoll_send_udp().
