Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/4] several updates to virtio/vsock

Hello,

this patchset evolved from previous v2 version (see link below). It does
several updates to virtio/vsock:
1) Changes 'virtio_transport_inc/dec_rx_pkt()' interface. Now instead of
   using skbuff state ('head' and 'data' pointers) to update 'fwd_cnt'
   and 'rx_bytes', integer value is passed as an input argument. This
   makes code more simple, because in this case we don't need to update
   skbuff state before calling 'virtio_transport_inc/dec_rx_pkt()'. In
   more common words - we don't need to change skbuff state to update
   'rx_bytes' and 'fwd_cnt' correctly.
2) For SOCK_STREAM, when copying data to user fails, current skbuff is
   not dropped. Next read attempt will use same skbuff and last offset.
   Instead of 'skb_dequeue()', 'skb_peek()' + '__skb_unlink()' are used.
   This behaviour was implemented before skbuff support.
3) For SOCK_SEQPACKET it removes unneeded 'skb_pull()' call, because for
   this type of socket each skbuff is used only once: after removing it
   from socket's queue, it will be freed anyway.

Test for 2) also added:
Test tries to 'recv()' data to NULL buffer, then does 'recv()' with valid
buffer. For SOCK_STREAM second 'recv()' must return data, because skbuff
must not be dropped, but for SOCK_SEQPACKET skbuff will be dropped by
kernel, and 'recv()' will return EAGAIN.

Change log:

v1 -> v2:
 - For SOCK_SEQPACKET call 'skb_pull()' also in case of copy failure or
   dropping skbuff (when we just waiting message end).
 - Handle copy failure for SOCK_STREAM in the same manner (plus free
   current skbuff).
 - Replace bug repdroducer with new test in vsock_test.c

v2 -> v3:
 - Replace patch which removes 'skb->len' subtraction from function
   'virtio_transport_dec_rx_pkt()' with patch which updates functions
   'virtio_transport_inc/dec_rx_pkt()' by passing integer argument
   instead of skbuff pointer.
 - Replace patch which drops skbuff when copying to user fails with
   patch which changes this behaviour by keeping skbuff in queue until
   it has no data.
 - Add patch for SOCK_SEQPACKET which removes redundant 'skb_pull()'
   call on read.
 - I remove "Fixes" tag from all patches, because all of them now change
   code logic, not only fix something.

v3 -> v4:
 - Update commit messages in all patches except test.
 - Add "Fixes" tag to all patches except test.

Arseniy Krasnov (4):
  virtio/vsock: don't use skbuff state to account credit
  virtio/vsock: remove redundant 'skb_pull()' call
  virtio/vsock: don't drop skbuff on copy failure
  test/vsock: copy to user failure test
