This patchset implements support of SOCK_SEQPACKET for virtio

I'll carefully review and test this series next Monday, in the mean time
I think we should have at least an agreement about the changes that
regards virtio-spec before merge this series, to avoid any compatibility
issues.

Do you plan to send a new version of the specification changes?

Thanks,

Hello, sorry for long answer. I'm on vacation now, but i plan to send

it in next several days, because with current implementation it is short


Thank You

Hello, here is spec patch:

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202105/msg00017.html

Let's discuss it

Yep, sure.

About this series I think is better to split in two series since it became very long. Patchwork [1] also complains here [2].

You can send a first series with patches from 1 to 7. These patches are reviewed by me and can go regardless of the discussion of the VIRTIO specifications.
Maybe you can also add the patch with the test to this first series.

Please specify in the cover letter that the implementation for virtio devices is under development and will be sent later.


When it will be merged in the net-next tree, you can post the second part with the rest of the series that implements SEQPACKET for virtio devices, possibly after we received an agreement for the specifications.

Please use the "net-next" tag and take a look at Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst about netdev development.


Anyway, in the next days (hopefully tomorrow) I'll review the rest of the series related to virtio devices and spec.

Thanks,
Stefano
