I agree, patch 3 is for sure net material (I'm fine with both 
rearrangement or send it separately), but IMHO also patch 2 could be.
I think with the same fixes tag, since before commit b89d882dc9fc 
("vsock/virtio: reduce credit update messages") we sent a credit update
for every bytes we read, so we should not have this problem, right?

So, maybe all the series could be "net".

Thanks,
