Donnu. With the change we have no DoS but the socket gets silently
broken. Eric felt given the brokenness is upstream already it's better
to work on a fix on top, not revert.
Dropped from the 6.6, 6.12, 6.18, and 7.0 queues. We'll pick up Stefano's
follow-up once it lands upstream.
FYI v4 is now merged in the net tree, so I guess they will land upstream
soon. I CCed stable on both patches:
a4f0b001782b ("vsock/virtio: reset connection on receiving queue overflow")
c6087c5aaad6 ("vsock/virtio: fix skb overhead accounting to preserve
full buf_alloc")
Both are related, but the second is the main fix of this patch.
Thanks,
Stefano
