vsock_insert_unbound() was called only when 'sock' parameter of __vsock_create() was not null. This only happened when __vsock_create() was called by vsock_create(). In order to simplify the multi-transports support, this patch moves vsock_insert_unbound() at the end of vsock_create().

There is a need for communication channel between host and various agents that are running inside a VM guest. The channel will be used for statistic gathering, logging, cut & paste, host screen resolution changes notifications, guest configuration etc. It is undesirable to use TCP/IP for this purpose since network connectivity may not exist between host and guest and if it exists the traffic

Most of the patches are reviewed by Dexuan, Stefan, and Jorgen. The following patches need reviews: - [11/15] vsock: add multi-transports support - [12/15] vsock/vmci: register vmci_transport only when VMCI guest/host are active - [15/15] vhost/vsock: refuse CID assigned to the guest->host transport RFC: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1168442/ v1:

Hi all, this series adds the multi-transports support to vsock, following this proposal: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg575792.html With the multi-transports support, we can use vsock with nested VMs (using also different hypervisors) loading both guest->host and host->guest transports at the same time. Before this series, vmci-transport supported this behavior but only using
