[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 07/12] iov: add iov_discard() to remove data


From: Stefan Hajnoczi
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 07/12] iov: add iov_discard() to remove data
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:32:56 +0100

The iov_discard() function removes data from the front or back of the
vector.  This is useful when peeling off header/footer structs.
