Now looks better to me, I just checked transports: vmci and virtio/vhost
returns what we want, but for hyperv we have:

static s64 hvs_stream_has_data(struct vsock_sock *vsk)
{
struct hvsock *hvs = vsk->trans;
s64 ret;

if (hvs->recv_data_len > 0)
return 1;

@Hyper-v maintainers: do you know why we don't return `recv_data_len`?
Do you think we can do that to support this new feature?

Hi Hyper-v maintainers, could you please take a look at this?

Hi Stefano, if no response, can I fix this issue in the next version?

Yep, but let's wait a little bit more.

In that case, please do it in a separate patch (same series is fine) that we can easily revert/fix if they will find issues later.

Thanks,
Stefano


Thanks,
