Since virtio-vsock was introduced, the buffers filled by the host and pushed to the guest using the vring, are directly queued in a per-socket list. These buffers are preallocated by the guest with a fixed size (4 KB). The maximum amount of memory used by each socket should be controlled by the credit mechanism. The default credit available per-socket is 256 KB, but if we use only 1 byte per packet, the guest can queue up to 262144 of 4 KB buffers, using up to 1 GB of memory per-socket. In addition, the guest will continue to fill the vring with new 4 KB free buffers to avoid starvation of other sockets. This patch mitigates this issue copying the payload of small packets (< 128 bytes) into the buffer of last packet queued, in order to avoid wasting memory.
