Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/7] netpoll: factor out IPv4 header setup into push_ipv4() helper
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2025 03:06:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250702-netpoll_untagle_ip-v2-4-13cf3db24e2b@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250702-netpoll_untagle_ip-v2-0-13cf3db24e2b@debian.org>
Move IPv4 header construction from netpoll_send_udp() into a new
static helper function push_ipv4(). This completes the refactoring
started with IPv6 header handling, creating symmetric helper functions
for both IP versions.
Changes include:
1. Extracting IPv4 header setup logic into push_ipv4()
2. Replacing inline IPv4 code with helper call
3. Moving eth assignment after helper calls for consistency
The refactoring reduces code duplication and improves maintainability
by isolating IP version-specific logic.
