Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 3/4] vsock/virtio: coalesce RX write-space notifications in lock batches
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:56:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014115640.184286-4-physicalmtea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014115640.184286-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com>
Each received packet updates peer credit and may call sk_write_space().
A writer cannot use that credit until the batch releases the socket lock,
so one notification at batch finish is sufficient.
Save the initial sk_write_space callback when the AF_VSOCK socket is
created and require it to remain installed for batching. This lets the
transport module deliver the deferred notification without referring to
the unexported default callback. Sockets with replaced callbacks retain
their per-packet behavior.
Record the batch socket before processing its first packet so a batch that
ends on that packet cannot lose the pending notification.
