I don't want to be too nitpicky but since I'm Cc'ed... - 'ethernet' -> 'Ethernet' - I'm not sure inlining is justified - The same function is used for 2 different operations, . check if padding is required . do the padding - If we provide a function a buffer to fill, we need to check the buffer size is big enough to avoid overflow What about something like: bool pad_short_frame(char *padded_pkt, size_t *padded_buflen, const void *pkt, size_t pkt_size); { assert(padded_buflen && *padded_buflen >= ETH_ZLEN); if (src_size >= ETH_ZLEN) { return false; } /* pad to minimum ethernet frame length */ memcpy(padded_pkt, pkt, pkt_size); memset(&padded_pkt[pkt_size], 0, ETH_ZLEN - padded_buflen); *padded_buflen = ETH_ZLEN; return true; } What do you think?
