similar to: [PATCH v3 0/4] Add virtio transport for AF_VSOCK

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

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, 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

This series is based on v4.4-rc2 and the "virtio: make find_vqs() checkpatch.pl-friendly" patch I recently submitted. v4: * Addressed code review comments from Alex Bennee * MAINTAINERS file entries for new files * Trace events instead of pr_debug() * RST packet is sent when there is no listen socket * Allow guest->host connections again (began discussing netfilter support with

This series is based on Michael Tsirkin's vhost branch (v4.5-rc6). I'm about to process Claudio Imbrenda's locking fixes for virtio-vsock but first I want to share the latest version of the code. Several people are playing with vsock now so sharing the latest code should avoid duplicate work. v5: * Transport reset event for live migration support * Reorder virtqueues, drop unused

This series is based on v4.7. This RFC is the implementation for the new VIRTIO Socket device. It is developed in parallel with the VIRTIO device specification and proves the design. Once the specification has been accepted I will send a non-RFC version of this patch series. v6: * Add VHOST_VSOCK_SET_RUNNING ioctl to start/stop vhost cleanly * Add graceful shutdown to avoid port reuse while

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.

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 tries to increase the throughput of virtio-vsock with slight changes. While I was testing the v2 of this series I discovered an huge use of memory, so I added patch 1 to mitigate this issue. I put it in this series in order to better track the performance trends. v3: - Patch 1: added a threshold to copy only small packets [Jason] - Patch 1: replaced the allocation of a new buffer

While I was testing this new series (v2) I discovered an huge use of memory and a memory leak in the virtio-vsock driver in the guest when I sent 1-byte packets to the guest. These issues are present since the introduction of the virtio-vsock driver. I added the patches 1 and 2 to fix them in this series in order to better track the performance trends. v1:
