If the remote peer doesn't respect the credit information (buf_alloc, fwd_cnt), sending more data than it can send, we should drop the packets to prevent a malicious peer from using all of our memory. This is patch follows the VIRTIO spec: "VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RW data packets MUST only be transmitted when the peer has sufficient free buffer space for the payload" Signed-off-by: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
