Recently, an issue was found with QUIC zero-copy forwarding on 3.0 version. A desynchronization could occur internally in QCS Tx bytes counters which would cause a BUG_ON() crash on qcs_destroy() when the stream is detached. It was silently fixed in version 3.1 by the following patch. As it was considered as an optimization, it was not scheduled yet for backport. 6697e87ae5e1f569dc87cf690b5ecfc049c4aab0 MINOR: mux-quic: Don't send an emtpy H3 DATA frame during zero-copy forwarding This mistake has been caused due to some counter-intuitive manipulation in QUIC zero-copy implementation. Try to streamline this in QUIC MUX done_ff callback and its application protocol counterpart. Especially for values exchanged between MUX and application on one side, and MUX and stconn layer as done_fastfwd return value. First, application done_ff callback now returns the length of the wholly encoded frame. For HTTP/3, it means header length + payload length h3 frame. This value can then be reused as qcc_send_stream() argument to increase QCS Tx soft offset. As previously, special care has been taken to ensure that QUIC MUX done_ff only return the transferred data bytes. Thus, any extra offset for HTTP/3 header is properly excluded. This is mandatory for stconn layer to consider the transfer has completed. Secondly, remove duplicated code in application done_ff to reset iobuf info. This is now factorize in QUIC MUX done_ff itself. This patch is related to github issue #2678.
