Hello again Bobby,

i wasn't CCed in Your patchset, but I review it anyway and write comments here in this
manner:) I found strange thing:

In 'virtio_transport_recv_enqueue()' new packet could be copied to the last packet in
rx queue(skb in current version). During copy You update last skb length by call
'skb_put(last_skb, skb->len)' inside 'memcpy()'. So 'last_skb' now have new length,
but header of packet is not updated.

Now let's look to 'virtio_transport_seqpacket_do_dequeue()', it uses value from packet's
header as 'pkt_len', not from skb:

pkt_len = (size_t)le32_to_cpu(hdr->len);

I think we need to update last packet's header during merging new packet to last packet
of rx queue.

Thanks, Arseniy
