[PATCH v2 08/19] streaming: create structure for packed object streams

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Nov 21, 2025, 07:40 UTC
Message-ID
<20251121-b4-pks-odb-read-stream-v2-8-ca8534963150@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20251121-b4-pks-odb-read-stream-v2-0-ca8534963150@pks.im>

As explained in a preceding commit, we want to get rid of the union of stream-type specific data in `struct odb_read_stream`. Create a new structure for packed object streams to move towards this design.
