* * * This series of VSOCK linux upstreaming patches include latest udpate from VMware. Summary of changes: - Sparse clean. - Checkpatch clean with one exception, a "complex macro" in which we can't add parentheses. - Remove all runtime assertions. - Fix device name, so that existing user clients work. - Fix VMCI handle lookup. * *

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:

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 VMware

The virtio-vsock device specification is not finalized yet. Michael Tsirkin voiced concerned about merging this code when the hardware interface (and possibly the userspace interface) could still change. Please revert for now. I am working to finalize the virtio-vsock device specification and at that point the interfaces will be stable. Stefan Hajnoczi (6): Revert "VSOCK: fix

This patch series adds a virtio transport for AF_VSOCK (net/vmw_vsock/). AF_VSOCK is designed for communication between virtual machines and hypervisors. It is currently only implemented for VMware's VMCI transport. This series implements the proposed virtio-vsock device specification from here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtio.devel/855 Most of the work was done by

Hello guys, This was V2 of the virtio-vsock back in last October. I do not have time to work on it since then. People are asking the latest status of virtio-vsock from time to time, so I'm sending out the code for people who are interested in. Feel free to grab the code and work on it if you want. In commit d021c344051af91 (VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets), VMware added VM Sockets support. VM

v2: * Rebased onto Linux v4.4-rc2 * vhost: Refuse to assign reserved CIDs * vhost: Refuse guest CID if already in use * vhost: Only accept correctly addressed packets (no spoofing!) * vhost: Support flexible rx/tx descriptor layout * vhost: Add missing total_tx_buf decrement * virtio_transport: Fix total_tx_buf accounting * virtio_transport: Add virtio_transport global mutex to prevent

Hello guys, In commit d021c344051af91 (VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets), VMware added VM Sockets support. VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor. VM Sockets is able to use different hyervisor neutral transport to transfer data. Currently, only VMware VMCI transport is supported. This series introduces virtio transport for VM Sockets.
