I think we should also describe the issues you found that we are fixinig
now, for example the wrong calculation in virtio_transport_dec_rx_pkt().

Something like this:

  `skb->len` can vary when we partially read the data, this complicates
  the calculation of credit to be updated in
  virtio_transport_inc_rx_pkt()/virtio_transport_dec_rx_pkt().

  Also in virtio_transport_dec_rx_pkt() we were miscalculating the
  credit since `skb->len` was redundant.

  For these reasons, let's replace the use ...
  (continue with what is written in this commit message)

And we should add the Fixes tag:

Fixes: 71dc9ec9ac7d ("virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff")

Good catch! In my proposal I used `bytes` wrongly!

The rest LGTM!
