2020-12-14vsock_addr: Check for supported flag valuesAndra Paraschiv
Check if the provided flags value from the vsock address data structure includes the supported flags in the corresponding kernel version. The first byte of the "svm_zero" field is used as "svm_flags", so add the flags check instead. Changelog v3 -> v4 * New patch in v4.

This is useful for other VSOCK transport implemented outside the net/vmw_vsock/ directory to use these headers. Signed-off-by: Asias He <asias@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andy King <acking@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-04-02VSOCK: Handle changes to the VMCI context ID.Reilly Grant
The VMCI context ID of a virtual machine may change at any time. There is a VMCI event which signals this but datagrams may be processed before this is handled. It is therefore necessary to be flexible about the destination context ID of any datagrams received. (It can be assumed to be correct because it is provided by the hypervisor.) The context ID on existing sockets should be updated to reflect how the hypervisor is currently referring to the system.

2013-02-10VSOCK: Introduce VM SocketsAndy King
VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor. User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided. Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware running as host applications and automated testing of applications running within virtual machines. The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM. For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the VM Sockets Programming Guide available at: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vmci-sdk/ Signed-off-by: George Zhang <georgezhang@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Andy king <acking@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
