+tuntap: set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag during open
+
+Commit 54f968d6efdbf7dec36faa44fc11f01b0e4d1990
+(tuntap: move socket to tun_file) forgets to set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag, which will
+prevent vhost_net from doing zercopy w/ tap. This patch fixes this by setting
+it during file open.

+Subject: [PATCH] vhost_net: clear msg.control for non-zerocopy case during tx
+
+When we decide not use zero-copy, msg.control should be set to NULL otherwise
+macvtap/tap may set zerocopy callbacks which may decrease the kref of ubufs
+wrongly.
+
+Bug were introduced by commit cedb9bdce099206290a2bdd02ce47a7b253b6a84
+(vhost-net: skip head management if no outstanding).
+
+This solves the following warnings:
