Hi David,

These patchsets were sent before and reviewed by Stefan and Jorgen [https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg142367.html].
If there is any blocker, please do tell and I'll see to it. Thanks!

Currently, if a connect call fails on a signal or timeout (e.g., guest is still
in the process of starting up), we'll just return to caller and leave the connect
packet queued and they are sent even though the connection is considered a failure,
which can confuse applications with unwanted false connect attempt.

The patchset enables vsock (both host and guest) to cancel queued packets when
a connect attempt is considered to fail.

v4 changelog:
  - drop two unnecessary void * cast
  - update new callback comment
v3 changelog:
  - define cancel_pkt callback in struct vsock_transport rather than struct virtio_transport
  - rename virtio_vsock_pkt->vsk to virtio_vsock_pkt->cancel_token
v2 changelog:
  - fix queued_replies counting and resume tx/rx when necessary

Cheers,
Tao

So that we can cancel a queued pkt later if necessary.

Otherwise we'll leave the packets queued until releasing vsock device.
E.g., if guest is slow to start up, resulting ETIMEDOUT on connect, guest
will get the connect requests from failed host sockets.

The type here is fixed, you only store vhost_sock object pointers
here, so don't use "void *" please.

It used to be "struct vhost_sock *" but no refcount is held. Stefan
suggested to use "void *cancel_token" to make the code harder to
misuse.

Quoting Stefan:
"This field is just an opaque token used for cancellation rather than
a struct vsock_sock pointer that we are allowed to dereference.  You
could change this field to void *cancel_token to make the code harder
to misuse."
