Our CI has detected, that virtio-vsock became unusable with this patch on s390x. I didn't test on x86 yet. The guest kernel says something like: vmw_vsock_virtio_transport virtio1: tx: used len 44 is larger than in buflen 0 Did you, or anybody else, see something like this on platforms other that s390x? I had a quick look at this code, and I speculate that it probably uncovers a pre-existig bug, rather than introducing a new one. If somebody is already working on this please reach out to me.
