Subject: [PATCH net v2] hv_sock: Report EOF instead of -EIO for FIN
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:14:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416191433.840637-1-decui@microsoft.com> (raw)
Commit f0c5827d07cb unluckily causes a regression for the FIN packet,
and the final read syscall gets an error rather than 0.
Ideally, we would want to fix hvs_channel_readable_payload() so that it
could return 0 in the FIN scenario, but it's not good for the hv_sock
driver to use the VMBus ringbuffer's cached priv_read_index, which is
internal data in the VMBus driver.
Fix the regression in hv_sock by returning 0 rather than -EIO.
Fixes: f0c5827d07cb ("hv_sock: Return the readable bytes in hvs_stream_has_data()")

Changes since v1:
Removed the local variable 'need_refill' to make the code more
readable. Stefano, thanks!
