Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/2] vsock/virtio: fix msg_iter desync on transmission failure
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:09:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260613000953.467473-1-tavip@google.com> (raw)

This series fixes a msg_iter desync issue in the virtio vsock transport
that can lead to warnings and eventual -ENOMEM under specific failure
scenarios (e.g. partial GUP failure during MSG_ZEROCOPY transmission).

To fix this, we need to restore the msg_iter state on transmission failure.
However, since virtio vsock transport can be built as a module, we first
need to export iov_iter_restore.

Patch 1 exports iov_iter_restore.
Patch 2 implements the msg_iter restoration in virtio vsock.

Changes in v2:
- Use iov_iter_savestate()/iov_iter_restore() (Stefano)
- Use a single restore point (Stefano)
- Reverse xmas tree (Stefano)
- Added comments in the code (Stefano)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260609004809.1285028-1-tavip@google.com/
