Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/3] vsock/test: fix MSG_PEEK handling in recv_buf()
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 18:10:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414-fix_peek-v3-2-e7daead49f83@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414-fix_peek-v3-0-e7daead49f83@redhat.com>

`recv_buf` does not handle the MSG_PEEK flag correctly: it keeps calling
`recv` until all requested bytes are available or an error occurs.

The problem is how it calculates the amount of bytes read: MSG_PEEK
doesn't consume any bytes, will re-read the same bytes from the buffer
head, so, summing the return value every time is wrong.

Moreover, MSG_PEEK doesn't consume the bytes in the buffer, so if the
requested amount is more than the bytes available, the loop will never
terminate, because `recv` will never return EOF. For this reason we need
to compare the amount of read bytes with the number of bytes expected.

Add a check, and if the MSG_PEEK flag is present, update the counter of
read bytes differently, and break if we read the expected amount.

This allows us to simplify the `test_stream_credit_update_test`, by
reusing `recv_buf`, like some other tests already do.

This also fixes callers that pass MSG_PEEK to recv_buf().
