The default should be 256 KB, so IIUC this scenario can happen only if the receiver do a 'setsockopt()' increasing the limit to 100MB. Right?

So, as you proposed, we need a `seqpacket_drop()` to tell to the transport that if we were copying an uncompleted message, then it should delete the queued fragments and any others until the next EOR.> > >Also i'll rebase QEMU patch today or tomorrow.Great, please CC me, this is something high priority to test SOCK_SEQPACKET with a guest.> > >What do You Think?I'm fine with both, but I slightly prefer the approach we implemented because it's easier to handle.
