Subject: [PATCH net v4 4/4] vsock/test: add stream TX credit bounds test
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 19:12:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217181206.3681159-5-mlbnkm1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251217181206.3681159-1-mlbnkm1@gmail.com>

Add a regression test for the TX credit bounds fix. The test verifies
that a sender with a small local buffer size cannot queue excessive
data even when the peer advertises a large receive buffer.

The client:
  - Sets a small buffer size (64 KiB)
  - Connects to server (which advertises 2 MiB buffer)
  - Sends in non-blocking mode until EAGAIN
  - Verifies total queued data is bounded

This guards against the original vulnerability where a remote peer
could cause unbounded kernel memory allocation by advertising a large
buffer and reading slowly.
