From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7e0afbdfd13d1e708fe96e31c46c4897101a6a43 ] The accept(2) is an "input" socket interface, so we should use SO_RCVTIMEO instead of SO_SNDTIMEO to set the timeout. So this patch replace sock_sndtimeo() with sock_rcvtimeo() to use the right timeout in the vsock_accept().
