[PATCH v2 0/8] vsock/virtio: SKB allocation improvements

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-07-01 16:45:15
Also in: lkml, virtualization

Hello again,

Here is version two of the patches I previously posted here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250625131543.5155-1-will@kernel.org (local)

Changes since v1 include:

  * Remove virtio_vsock_alloc_skb_with_frags() and instead push decision
    to allocate nonlinear SKBs into virtio_vsock_alloc_skb()

  * Remove VIRTIO_VSOCK_DEFAULT_RX_BUF_SIZE and inline its definition
    along with a comment

  * Validate the length advertised by the packet header on the guest
    receive path

  * Minor tweaks to the commit messages and addition of stable tags

Thanks to Stefano for all the review feedback so far.

Cheers,

Will
