Merge branch 'VSOCK-sock_diag'
Stefan Hajnoczi says:
====================
VSOCK: add sock_diag interface
v3:
* Rebased onto net-next/master and resolved Hyper-V transport conflict
v2:
* Moved tests to tools/testing/vsock/. I was unable to put them in selftests/
because they require manual setup of a VMware/KVM guest.
* Moved to __vsock_in_bound/connected_table() to af_vsock.h
* Fixed local variable ordering in Patch 4
There is currently no way for userspace to query open AF_VSOCK sockets. This
means ss(8), netstat(8), and other utilities cannot display AF_VSOCK sockets.
This patch series adds the netlink sock_diag interface for AF_VSOCK. Userspace
programs sent a DUMP request including an sk_state bitmap to filter sockets
based on their state (connected, listening, etc). The vsock_diag.ko module
replies with information about matching sockets. This userspace ABI is defined
in <linux/vm_sockets_diag.h>.
The final patch adds a test suite that exercises the basic cases.
Jorgen and Dexuan: I have only tested the virtio transport but this should also
work for VMCI and Hyper-V. Please give it a shot if you have time.
