Description Stefano Garzarella 2023-01-11 09:06:46 UTC

This is a preliminary list of vsock fixes we have in Linux 6.1-rc3 that we should backport into RHEL-8.8:

7a4efe182ca6 vhost/vsock: Fix error handling in vhost_vsock_init()
7e97cfed9929 vsock: Fix memory leak in vsock_connect()
a3e7b29e3085 vsock: Set socket state back to SS_UNCONNECTED in vsock_connect_timeout()
0e3f72931fc4 vhost/vsock: Use kvmalloc/kvfree for larger packets.
44aa5a6dba82 net: vmw_vsock: vmci: Check memcpy_from_msg()

Comment 2 Bo Yang 2023-01-16 10:52:03 UTC

Updated the result from Virt QE team - RHEL in ESXi.


Tested with 4.18.0-448.el8.4081_744511162.g8ec2 and passed the regression.


Test Environment
    Host: ESXi 7.0
    Guest: RHEL-8.8.0 with 4.18.0-448.el8.4081_744511162.g8ec2


Steps to Test
0. Upgraded the Guest with Repo URL based on above target Host.
1. Launched its regression with CI - https://ci-jenkins-csb-esxi.apps.ocp-c1.prod.psi.redhat.com/job/ESXi-Project/job/regression-trigger/30/, and checked cases status if failed.


If you have any specific cases or steps to try, let me know.
