This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vsock: cancel packets when failing to connect to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: vsock-cancel-packets-when-failing-to-connect.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Dec 21 09:02:40 CET 2017 From: Peng Tao <bergwolf@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 09:32:17 +0800 Subject: vsock: cancel packets when failing to connect From: Peng Tao <bergwolf@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 380feae0def7e6a115124a3219c3ec9b654dca32 ] Otherwise we'll leave the packets queued until releasing vsock device. E.g., if guest is slow to start up, resulting ETIMEDOUT on connect, guest will get the connect requests from failed host sockets.
