Thanks, I left some comments on patch 4, the others LGTM.
Sorry to not having spotted them before, but moving
virtio_transport_alloc_skb() around the file, made the patch a little
confusing and difficult to review.

In addition, I started having failures of test 14 (server: host,
client: guest), so I looked better to see if there was anything wrong,
but it fails me even without this series applied.

It happens to me intermittently (~30%), does it happen to you?
Can you take a look at it?

host$ ./vsock_test --mode=server --control-port=12345 --peer-cid=4
...
14 - SOCK_STREAM virtio skb merge...expected recv(2) returns 8 bytes, got 3

guest$ ./vsock_test --mode=client --control-host=192.168.133.2
--control-port=12345 --peer-cid=2

Thanks,
Stefano
