[PATCH net 1/2] vsock: add half-closed socket details in the implementation notes
From: Stefano Garzarella
Date: Fri Oct 11 2019 - 09:08:21 EST
vmci_transport never allowed half-closed socket on the host side.
Since we want to have the same behaviour across all transports, we
add a section in the "Implementation notes".
