This series adds namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback. It does not add namespaces to any of the other guest transports (virtio-vsock, hyperv, or vmci).
The current revision only supports two modes: local or global. Local mode is complete isolation of namespaces, while global mode is complete sharing between namespaces of CIDs (the original behavior). The mode is set using /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode. Modes are per-netns and write-once. This allows a system to configure namespaces independently (some may share CIDs, others are completely isolated). This also supports future possible mixed use cases, where there may be namespaces in global mode spinning up VMs while there are mixed mode namespaces that provide services to the VMs, but are not allowed to allocate from the global CID pool. Additionally, added tests for the new semantics: tools/testing/selftests/vsock/vmtest.sh 1..22 ok 1 vm_server_host_client ok 2 vm_client_host_server ok 3 vm_loopback ok 4 host_vsock_ns_mode_ok ok 5 host_vsock_ns_mode_write_once_ok ok 6 global_same_cid_fails ok 7 local_same_cid_ok ok 8 global_local_same_cid_ok ok 9 local_global_same_cid_ok ok 10 diff_ns_global_host_connect_to_global_vm_ok ok 11 diff_ns_global_host_connect_to_local_vm_fails ok 12 diff_ns_global_vm_connect_to_global_host_ok ok 13 diff_ns_global_vm_connect_to_local_host_fails ok 14 diff_ns_local_host_connect_to_local_vm_fails ok 15 diff_ns_local_vm_connect_to_local_host_fails ok 16 diff_ns_global_to_local_loopback_local_fails ok 17 diff_ns_local_to_global_loopback_fails ok 18 diff_ns_local_to_local_loopback_fails ok 19 diff_ns_global_to_global_loopback_ok ok 20 same_ns_local_loopback_ok ok 21 same_ns_local_host_connect_to_local_vm_ok ok 22 same_ns_local_vm_connect_to_local_host_ok SUMMARY: PASS=22 SKIP=0 FAIL=0 Log: /tmp/vsock_vmtest_OQC4.log Thanks again for everyone's help and reviews!
