From 58ddcd50f30cb5c020bd4f9f36b01ee160a27cac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:23:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tap: reset vnet header size on open For tap, we currently assume the vnet header size is 10 (the default value) but that might not be the case if tap is persistent and has been used by qemu previously. To fix, set host header size in tap device on open. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
