Subject: [PATCH] tap: Revert recently added checks in tap_handler_passt()
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 14:53:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221116135326.247953-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)

This reverts commit 198f87835dc4 ("tap: Return -EIO from
tap_handler_passt() on inconsistent packet stream") and commit
510dace86ccf ("tap: Keep stream consistent if qemu length descriptor
spans two recv() calls").

I can hit occasional failures in perf/passt_tcp tests where we seem
to be getting excess data at the end of a recv(), and for some reason
I couldn't figure out yet, if we just ignore it, subsequent recv()
calls from qemu return correct data. If we close the connection, qemu
can't talk to us anymore, of course.
