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

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:

v2: - style fixes [Dave] - removed RCU sync and changed 'the_vsock_loopback' in a global static variable [Stefan] - use G2H transport when local transport is not loaded and remote cid is VMADDR_CID_LOCAL [Stefan] - rebased on net-next v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11251735/ This series introduces a new transport (vsock_loopback) to handle local communication.

We are implementing a test suite for the VSOCK sockets and we discovered that vmci_transport never allowed half-closed socket on the host side. As Jorgen explained [1] this is due to the implementation of VMCI. Since we want to have the same behaviour across all transports, this series adds a section in the "Implementation notes" to exaplain this behaviour, and changes the
