Thanks for review! Yes, You are right, seems this patch breaks partial send return value. For example for the following iov (suppose each '.iov_len' is 64Kb, e.g. max packet length): [0] = { .iov_base = ptr0, .iov_len = len0 }, [1] = { .iov_base = NULL, .iov_len = len1 }, [2] = { .iov_base = ptr2, .iov_len = len2 } transport callback will send element 0, but NULL iov_base of element 1 will cause tx failure. Transport callback returns error (no information about transmitted skbuffs), but element 0 was already passed to virtio/vhost path. Current logic will return length of element 0 (it will be accounted to return from send syscall), then calls transport again with invalid element 1 which triggers error. I'm not sure that it is correct (at least in this single patch) to return number of bytes sent, because tx loop in af_vsock.c compares length of user's buffer and number of bytes sent to break tx loop (or loop is terminated when transport returns error). For above iov, we return length of element 0 without length of invalid element 1, but not error (so loop exit condition never won't be true). Moreover, with this approach only first failed to tx skbuff will return error. For second, third, etc. skbuffs we get only number of bytes. I think may be we can use socket's 'sk_err' field here: when tx callback failed to send data(no matter it is first byte or last byte of middle byte), it returns number of bytes sent (it will be 0 if first skbuff was failed to sent) and sets 'sk_err'. Good thing here is that tx loop in af_vsock.c already has check for 'sk_err' value and break loop if error occurred. This way looks like 'errno' concept a little bit: transport returns number of bytes, 'sk_err' contains error. So in current patch it will look like this: instead of setting 'ret' with error, i set 'sk_err' with error, but callback returns number of bytes transmitted. May be we need review from some more experienced guy, Stefano Garzarella, what do You think?

Ahhhh, i see, sorry, my misunderstanding. Don't read long text above :) I can return error if nothing was sent, otherwise return number of bytes. I'll prepare v2.

This adds small optimization for tx path: instead of allocating single skbuff on every call to transport, allocate multiple skbuffs until credit space allows, thus trying to send as much as possible data without return to af_vsock.c.
