[PATCH v2 3/8] vsock/virtio: Move length check to callers of virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put()

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-07-01 16:45:23
Also in: lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, virtio and vhost vsock driver, virtio core, vm sockets (af_vsock) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Stefan Hajnoczi, Stefano Garzarella, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put() only calls skb_put() if the length in the
packet header is not zero even though skb_put() handles this case
gracefully.

Remove the functionally redundant check from virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put()
and, on the assumption that this is a worthwhile optimisation for
handling credit messages, augment the existing length checks in
virtio_transport_rx_work() to elide the call for zero-length payloads.
Note that the vhost code already has similar logic in
vhost_vsock_alloc_skb().
