[PATCH net-next v3 0/4] vsock: consolidate acceptq accounting into core helpers

[PATCH net-next v3 0/4] vsock: consolidate acceptq accounting into core helpers

[Raf Dickson]

These patches follow up on commit c05fa14db43e
("vsock/vmci: fix sk_ack_backlog leak on failed handshake")
by consolidating sk_acceptq_added() and sk_acceptq_removed() into
the core vsock helpers so transports cannot forget them.

Changes since v2:
  - Add vsock_pending_to_accept() helper for the vmci pending->accept
    transition, avoiding a double sk_acceptq_added() (Stefano Garzarella)
  - Split into 4 patches for bisectability (Stefano Garzarella)
  - Fold sk_acceptq_added() into vsock_add_pending() as a separate patch

[PATCH net-next v3 1/4] vsock: introduce vsock_pending_to_accept() helper

[Raf Dickson]

Add vsock_pending_to_accept() to move a socket directly from the
pending list to the accept queue in a single operation, avoiding
the sock_put/sock_hold dance and the sk_acceptq_removed()/
sk_acceptq_added() pair that would otherwise be needed when
calling vsock_remove_pending() followed by vsock_enqueue_accept().

Use it in vmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() where a completed
handshake transitions the socket from pending to accept queue.

[PATCH net-next v3 3/4] vsock: fold sk_acceptq_added() into vsock_enqueue_accept()

[Raf Dickson]

virtio and hyperv call sk_acceptq_added() immediately before
vsock_enqueue_accept(). Move the call into vsock_enqueue_accept()
itself so callers cannot forget it and the accounting is consistent.

[PATCH net-next v3 4/4] vsock: fold sk_acceptq_removed() into vsock_remove_pending()

[Raf Dickson]

Callers of vsock_remove_pending() must also call sk_acceptq_removed()
to keep sk_ack_backlog consistent. Move the call into
vsock_remove_pending() itself to make it automatic and prevent future
callers from forgetting it.

There is an extra blank line that we can now remove here.
