Stefano Garzarella ae6fcfbf5f vsock/virtio: discard packets if credit is not respected
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"

README

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.
