buf_alloc
andfwd_cnt
in packet header are used for buffer space management of stream sockets. If peer has insufficient buffer space, the sender waits until new packets are returned and checksbuf_alloc
andfwd_cnt
again.VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_CREDIT_REQUEST
packet is used to query how much buffer space is available.VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_CREDIT_UPDATE
replies the query and it can also be sent without previous request.This patch tracks the
fwd_cnt
andbuf_alloc
to calculate the free space of peer. The credite request and update packets are also handled.
