Subject: [PATCH] udp_vu: Discard datagrams when RX virtqueue is not usable
Date: Mon,  5 Jan 2026 15:50:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105145016.394828-1-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)

During vhost-user device initialization, UDP datagrams may arrive on
listening sockets before the guest has enabled the RX virtqueue.

When this happens, udp_vu_sock_recv() returns 0 without consuming
the datagram from the socket. The caller, udp_sock_fwd(), uses a
while loop with udp_peek_addr() to process pending datagrams. Since
the datagram remains in the socket buffer, udp_peek_addr() keeps
returning data available, causing a busy loop with 100% CPU usage.

Add an early check for virtqueue readiness in udp_vu_sock_to_tap(),
mirroring tcp_vu_data_from_sock(). When the queue is not enabled or
not started, explicitly discard the datagram with recvmsg() and
return. The caller will drain remaining datagrams through repeated
calls.
