077263fb - vsock: add vsock_loopback transport

Tue, 10 Dec 2019 10:43:05 +0000

vsock: add vsock_loopback transportThis patch adds a new vsock_loopback transport to handle localcommunication.This transport is based on the loopback implementation ofvirtio_transport, so it uses the virtio_transport_common APIsto interface with the vsock core.Signed-off-by: Stefano Garzarella Signed-off-by: David S.

413a4317 - VSOCK: add sock_diag interface

Thu, 05 Oct 2017 20:46:53 +0000

VSOCK: add sock_diag interfaceThis patch adds the sock_diag interface for querying sockets fromuserspace. Tools like ss(8) and netstat(8) can use this interface tolist open sockets.The userspace ABI is defined in and includesnetlink request and response structs. The request can query socketsbased on their sk_state (e.g. listening sockets only) and the responsecontains socket information fields including the local/remote addresses,inode number, etc.This patch does not dump VMCI pending sockets because I have only testedthe virtio transport, which does not use pending sockets. Support canbe added later by extending vsock_diag_dump() if needed by VMCI users.Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi Signed-off-by: David S. Miller List of files: /linux-6.15/net/vmw_vsock/Kconfig

ae0078fc - hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK)

Sat, 26 Aug 2017 04:52:43 +0000

hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK)Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communicationmechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as thetransportation layer.With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditionalsocket APIs.More info about Hyper-V Sockets is available here:"Make your own integration services":https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/make-integration-serviceThe patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a newvsock transport for AF_VSOCK.Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui Cc: K.

Revert "Merge branch 'vsock-virtio'"This reverts commit 0d76d6e8b2507983a2cae4c09880798079007421 and mergecommit c402293bd76fbc93e52ef8c0947ab81eea3ae019, reversing changes madeto c89359a42e2a49656451569c382eed63e781153c.The virtio-vsock device specification is not finalized yet. MichaelTsirkin voiced concerned about merging this code when the hardwareinterface (and possibly the userspace interface) could still change.Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi Signed-off-by: David S.

d021c344 - VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets

Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:23:56 +0000

VSOCK: Introduce VM SocketsVM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use theVM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication betweenguest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to becompatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guestfor zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition tothis, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, wherenetwork access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examplesof this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardwarerunning as host applications and automated testing of applications runningwithin virtual machines.The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIXsocket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-orientedstream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VMSockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operationssplit for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to theVM Sockets Programming Guide available at:https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vmci-sdk/Signed-off-by: George Zhang Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Andy king Signed-off-by: David S.
