Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/3] vsock/virtio: Move length check to callers of virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put()
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 19:30:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115002958.559603-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109201916-failed-6.1-d5e912448cd9@kernel.org>

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 87dbae5e36613a6020f3d64a2eaeac0a1e0e6dc6 ]

virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put() only calls skb_put() if the length in the
packet header is not zero even though skb_put() handles this case
gracefully.

Remove the functionally redundant check from virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put()
and, on the assumption that this is a worthwhile optimisation for
handling credit messages, augment the existing length checks in
virtio_transport_rx_work() to elide the call for zero-length payloads.
Since the callers all have the length, extend virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put()
to take it as an additional parameter rather than fish it back out of
the packet header.

Note that the vhost code already has similar logic in
vhost_vsock_alloc_skb().
