Subject: [PATCH net] hv_sock: Return -EIO for malformed/short packets
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:49:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421174931.1152238-1-decui@microsoft.com> (raw)

Commit f63152958994 fixes a regression, however it fails to report an
error for malformed/short packets -- normally we should never see such
packets, but let's report an error for them just in case.

Fixes: f63152958994 ("hv_sock: Report EOF instead of -EIO for FIN")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com>

Commit f63152958994 is currently only in net.git's master branch.
