[PATCH net,stable v4 0/3] vhost: fix a few skb leaks

From: Wei Xu <wexu at redhat.com>

Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit
c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed
in the following thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev at vger.kernel.org/msg187936.html

v4:
- fix zero iov iterator count in tap/tap_do_read()(Jason)
- don't put tun in case of EBADFD(Jason)
- Replace msg->msg_control with new 'skb' when calling
tun/tap_do_read()

v3:
- move freeing skb from vhost to tun/tap recvmsg() to not
  confuse the callers.

v2:
- add Matthew as the reporter, thanks matthew.
- moving zero headcount check ahead instead of defer consuming skb
  due to jason and mst's comment.
- add freeing skb in favor of recvmsg() fails.

Wei Xu (3):
  vhost: fix skb leak in handle_rx()
  tun: free skb in early errors
  tap: free skb if flags error

[PATCH 1/3] vhost: fix skb leak in handle_rx()

From: Wei Xu <wexu at redhat.com>

Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit
c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed
in the following thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev at vger.kernel.org/msg187936.html

Eventually we figured out that it was a skb leak in handle_rx()
when sending packets to the VM. This usually happens when a guest
can not drain out vq as fast as vhost fills in, afterwards it sets
off the traffic jam and leaks skb(s) which occurs as no headcount
to send on the vq from vhost side.

This can be avoided by making sure we have got enough headcount
before actually consuming a skb from the batched rx array while
transmitting, which is simply done by moving checking the zero
headcount a bit ahead.

[PATCH 2/3] tun: free skb in early errors

From: Wei Xu <wexu at redhat.com>

tun_recvmsg() supports accepting skb by msg_control after
commit ac77cfd4258f ("tun: support receiving skb through
msg_control"),
the skb if presented should be freed no matter how far it can go
along, otherwise it would be leaked.

This patch fixes several missed cases.

Tested this series on a z13 (s390x) on top of net-next using 4GB/4vcpu
guests.  Verified that both the reported TCP throughput regression and
memory leak are resolved.

net-next:  19.83 Gb/s
net-next+: 35.02 Gb/s

Thanks all!
