[PATCH net-next v7 0/4] send credit update during setting SO_RCVLOWAT

[Arseniy Krasnov <avkrasnov@salutedevices.com>]

Hello,

                               DESCRIPTION

This patchset fixes old problem with hungup of both rx/tx sides and adds
test for it. This happens due to non-default SO_RCVLOWAT value and
deferred credit update in virtio/vsock. Link to previous old patchset:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/39b2e9fd-601b-189d-39a9-914e5574524c@sberdevices.ru/

Here is what happens step by step:

                                  TEST

                            INITIAL CONDITIONS

1) Vsock buffer size is 128KB.
2) Maximum packet size is also 64KB as defined in header (yes it is
   hardcoded, just to remind about that value).
3) SO_RCVLOWAT is default, e.g. 1 byte.


                                 STEPS

            SENDER                              RECEIVER
1) sends 128KB + 1 byte in a
   single buffer. 128KB will
   be sent, but for 1 byte
   sender will wait for free
   space at peer. Sender goes
   to sleep.


2)                                     reads 64KB, credit update not sent
3)                                     sets SO_RCVLOWAT to 64KB + 1
4)                                     poll() -> wait forever, there is
                                       only 64KB available to read.

So in step 4) receiver also goes to sleep, waiting for enough data or
connection shutdown message from the sender. Idea to fix it is that rx
kicks tx side to continue transmission (and may be close connection)
when rx changes number of bytes to be woken up (e.g. SO_RCVLOWAT) and
this value is bigger than number of available bytes to read.

I've added small test for this, but not sure as it uses hardcoded value
for maximum packet length, this value is defined in kernel header and
used to control deferred credit update. And as this is not available to
userspace, I can't control test parameters correctly (if one day this
define will be changed - test may become useless).

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
 * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above).
 * New patch is added as 0001 - it removes return from SO_RCVLOWAT set
   callback in 'af_vsock.c' when transport callback is set - with that
   we can set 'sk_rcvlowat' only once in 'af_vsock.c' and in future do
   not copy-paste it to every transport. It was discussed in v1.
 * See per-patch changelog after ---.
v2 -> v3:
 * See changelog after --- in 0003 only (0001 and 0002 still same).
v3 -> v4:
 * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above).
 * See per-patch changelog after ---.
v4 -> v5:
 * Change patchset tag 'RFC' -> 'net-next'.
 * See per-patch changelog after ---.
v5 -> v6:
 * New patch 0003 which sends credit update during reading bytes from
   socket.
 * See per-patch changelog after ---.
v6 -> v7:
 * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above).
 * See per-patch changelog after ---.
