[PATCH net 2/2] vsock/test: add test for small packets under pressure

From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>
Date: 2026-06-26 13:48:39
Also in: kvm, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: the rest, vm sockets (af_vsock) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Stefano Garzarella

From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>

Add a test that sends 2 MB of data using randomly sized small packets
(129-512 bytes) over a SOCK_STREAM connection. Packets above
GOOD_COPY_LEN (128) bypass the in-place coalescing in recv_enqueue(),
forcing each one into its own skb.

Without receive queue collapsing, the per-skb overhead eventually
exceeds buf_alloc and the connection is reset. The test verifies
that all data arrives and that content integrity is preserved.
