[PATCH net v2 2/2] vsock/virtio: fix multiple packet delivery to monitoring devices

From: Stefano Garzarella
Date: Fri Apr 24 2020 - 11:09:03 EST


In virtio_transport.c, if the virtqueue is full, the transmitting
packet is queued up and it will be sent in the next iteration.
This causes the same packet to be delivered multiple times to
monitoring devices.

We want to continue to deliver packets to monitoring devices before
it is put in the virtqueue, to avoid that replies can appear in the
packet capture before the transmitted packet.

This patch fixes the issue, adding a new flag (tap_delivered) in
struct virtio_vsock_pkt, to check if the packet is already delivered
to monitoring devices.

In vhost/vsock.c, we are splitting packets, so we must set
'tap_delivered' to false when we queue up the same virtio_vsock_pkt
to handle the remaining bytes.
