Subject: [PATCH net v4 2/3] vsock/test: fix MSG_PEEK handling in recv_buf()
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:09:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415-fix_peek-v4-2-8207e872759e@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415-fix_peek-v4-0-8207e872759e@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 number of bytes read: MSG_PEEK
doesn't consume any bytes and 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 more
bytes are requested than are available, the loop will never terminate,
because `recv` will never return EOF. For this reason, we need to compare
the number of bytes read with the number of bytes expected.
Add a check: if the MSG_PEEK flag is present, update the byte counter and
break out of the loop only after at least the expected number of bytes
have been received; otherwise, retry after a short delay to avoid
consuming too many CPU cycles.
This allows us to simplify the `test_stream_credit_update_test` by
reusing `recv_buf`, like some other tests already do.
