This series makes the credit mechanism implemented in the virtio-vsock devices more robust. Patch 1 sends an update to the remote peer when the buf_alloc change. Patch 2 prevents a malicious peer (especially the guest) can consume all the memory of the other peer, discarding packets when the credit available is not respected.
