Subject: [PATCH] vsock/virtio: Remove queued_replies pushback logic
Ever since the introduction of the virtio vsock driver, it included
pushback logic that blocks it from taking any new RX packets until the
TX queue backlog becomes shallower than the virtqueue size.
This logic works fine when you connect a user space application on the
hypervisor with a virtio-vsock target, because the guest will stop
receiving data until the host pulled all outstanding data from the VM.
With Nitro Enclaves however, we connect 2 VMs directly via vsock:
Parent Enclave
RX -------- TX
TX -------- RX
This means we now have 2 virtio-vsock backends that both have the pushback
logic. If the parent's TX queue runs full at the same time as the
Enclave's, both virtio-vsock drivers fall into the pushback path and
no longer accept RX traffic. However, that RX traffic is TX traffic on
the other side which blocks that driver from making any forward
progress. We're not in a deadlock.
To resolve this, let's remove that pushback logic altogether and rely on
higher levels (like credits) to ensure we do not consume unbounded
memory.
