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

2015-12-09 Thread Stefan Hajnoczi 
Note: the virtio-vsock device specification is currently under review but not
yet finalized.  Please review this code but don't merge until I send an update
when the spec is finalized.  Thanks!

v3:
 * Remove unnecessary 3-way handshake, just do REQUEST/RESPONSE instead
   of REQUEST/RESPONSE/ACK
 * Remove SOCK_DGRAM support and focus on SOCK_STREAM first
   (also drop v2 Patch 1, it's only needed for SOCK_DGRAM)
 * Only allow host->guest connections (same security model as latest
   VMware)
 * Don't put vhost vsock driver into staging
 * Add missing Kconfig dependencies (Arnd Bergmann )
 * Remove unneeded variable used to store return value
   (Fengguang Wu  and Julia Lawall
   )

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 races
 * common: Notify other side of SOCK_STREAM disconnect (fixes shutdown
   semantics)
 * common: Avoid recursive mutex_lock(tx_lock) for write_space (fixes deadlock)
 * common: Define VIRTIO_VSOCK_TYPE_STREAM/DGRAM hardware interface constants
 * common: Define VIRTIO_VSOCK_SHUTDOWN_RCV/SEND hardware interface constants
 * common: Fix peer_buf_alloc inheritance on child socket

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://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtio.devel/980

Most of the work was done by Asias He and Gerd Hoffmann a while back.  I have
picked up the series again.

The QEMU userspace changes are here:

Why virtio-vsock?
-
Guest<->host communication is currently done over the virtio-serial device.
This makes it hard to port sockets API-based applications and is limited to
static ports.

virtio-vsock uses the sockets API so that applications can rely on familiar
SOCK_STREAM semantics.  Applications on the host can easily connect to guest
agents because the sockets API allows multiple connections to a listen socket
(unlike virtio-serial).  This simplifies the guest<->host communication and
eliminates the need for extra processes on the host to arbitrate virtio-serial
ports.

Overview

This series adds 3 pieces:

1. virtio_transport_common.ko - core virtio vsock code that uses vsock.ko

2. virtio_transport.ko - guest driver

3. drivers/vhost/vsock.ko - host driver

Howto
-
The following kernel options are needed:
  CONFIG_VSOCKETS=y
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS=y
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS_COMMON=y
  CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m

Launch QEMU as follows:
  # qemu ... -device vhost-vsock-pci,id=vhost-vsock-pci0,guest-cid=3

Guest and host can communicate via AF_VSOCK sockets.  The host's CID (address)
is 2 and the guest must be assigned a CID (3 in the example above).

Status
--
This patch series implements the latest draft specification.  Please review.

Yes, this should have RFC in the subject.
