[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] sheepdog: discard the payload if the header is invalid

[Liu Yuan]

From: Liu Yuan <address@hidden>

We need to discard the payload if we get a invalid header due to whatever reason
to avoid data stream curruption. For e.g., the response consists of header plus
data payload. If we simply read the header then the data payload is left in the
socket buffer and the next time we would read the garbage data and currupt the
whole connection.
