Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 7/9] vhost-net: vhost-net: replace rx_ring with tun/tap ring wrappers
Date: Wed,  7 Jan 2026 22:04:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107210448.37851-8-simon.schippers@tu-dortmund.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260107210448.37851-1-simon.schippers@tu-dortmund.de>

Replace the direct use of ptr_ring in the vhost-net virtqueue with
tun/tap ring wrapper helpers. Instead of storing an rx_ring pointer,
the virtqueue now stores the interface type (IF_TUN, IF_TAP, or IF_NONE)
and dispatches to the corresponding tun/tap helpers for ring
produce, consume, and unconsume operations.

Routing ring operations through the tun/tap helpers enables netdev
queue wakeups, which are required for upcoming netdev queue flow
control support shared by tun/tap and vhost-net.

No functional change is intended beyond switching to the wrapper
helpers.
