Subject: [PATCH net-next] iavf: use skb_put_padto()
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 11:49:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016094925.2762785-1-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)
Replace skb_pad() and the manual skb->len and tail pointer updates
in iavf_xmit_frame() with skb_put_padto().
No functional change.

Part of a medium term plan to get rid of skb_pad(), source of many mistakes.
