Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 4/4] vsock/virtio: defer RX notifications until batch unlock
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:56:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014115640.184286-5-physicalmtea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014115640.184286-1-physicalmtea@gmail.com>
An RX batch can make a socket readable while the worker still holds its
socket lock. Waking a blocking reader then only moves it to waiting for
the same lock.
Record the existing low-watermark condition and notify once after
release_sock(). Move the coalesced write-space notification after the
unlock as well, since both callbacks wake sk_sleep(sk). Deliver
write-space before data-ready and keep the lookup reference until both
callbacks complete.
As with write-space, save the initial sk_data_ready callback and batch only
while both saved callbacks remain installed. Sockets with replaced
callbacks retain their per-packet behavior.
The existing psock-marker check also covers a concurrent sockmap attach:
at most the already admitted packet completes on the native path, and the
next packet ends the batch.
