Merge branch 'vsock-credit-update'
Arseniy Krasnov says: ==================== send credit update during setting SO_RCVLOWAT DESCRIPTION This patchset fixes old problem with hungup of both rx/tx sides and adds test for it. This happens due to non-default SO_RCVLOWAT value and deferred credit update in virtio/vsock. Link to previous old patchset: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/39b2e9fd-601b-189d-39a9-914e5574524c@sberdevices.ru/ Here is what happens step by step: TEST INITIAL CONDITIONS 1) Vsock buffer size is 128KB. 2) Maximum packet size is also 64KB as defined in header (yes it is hardcoded, just to remind about that value). 3) SO_RCVLOWAT is default, e.g. 1 byte. STEPS SENDER RECEIVER 1) sends 128KB + 1 byte in a single buffer. 128KB will be sent, but for 1 byte sender will wait for free space at peer. Sender goes to sleep. 2) reads 64KB, credit update not sent 3) sets SO_RCVLOWAT to 64KB + 1 4) poll() -> wait forever, there is only 64KB available to read. So in step 4) receiver also goes to sleep, waiting for enough data or connection shutdown message from the sender. Idea to fix it is that rx kicks tx side to continue transmission (and may be close connection) when rx changes number of bytes to be woken up (e.g. SO_RCVLOWAT) and this value is bigger than number of available bytes to read. I've added small test for this, but not sure as it uses hardcoded value for maximum packet length, this value is defined in kernel header and used to control deferred credit update. And as this is not available to userspace, I can't control test parameters correctly (if one day this define will be changed - test may become useless).

It was discussed in v1. * See per-patch changelog after ---. v2 -> v3: * See changelog after --- in 0003 only (0001 and 0002 still same). v3 -> v4: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * See per-patch changelog after ---. v4 -> v5: * Change patchset tag 'RFC' -> 'net-next'. * See per-patch changelog after ---. v5 -> v6: * New patch 0003 which sends credit update during reading bytes from socket. * See per-patch changelog after ---. v6 -> v7: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * See per-patch changelog after ---. v7 -> v8: * See per-patch changelog after ---. v8 -> v9: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * Add 'Fixes' tag for the current 0002. * Reorder patches by moving two fixes first. v9 -> v10: * Squash 0002 and 0003 and update commit message in result. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
