The linear buffer is only needed when iovcnt > 1. I suggest the
following instead:
uint8_t *buf = NULL;
if (iovcnt == 1) {
buffer = iov[0].iov_base;
offset = iov[0].iov_len;
} else {
buf = g_new(uint8_t, NET_BUFSIZE);
buffer = buf;
offset = iov_to_buf(iov, iovcnt, 0, buf, NET_BUFSIZE);
}
This way the allocation is only made when we actually need to linearize
the buffer.
