When iterating over sockets using vsock_for_each_connected_socket, make
sure that a transport filters out sockets that don't belong to the
transport.
There actually was an issue caused by this; in a nested VM
configuration, destroying the nested VM (which often involves the
closing of /dev/vhost-vsock if there was h2g connections to the nested
VM) kills not only the h2g connections, but also all existing g2h
connections to the (outmost) host which are totally unrelated.
Tested: Executed the following steps on Cuttlefish (Android running on a
VM) [1]: (1) Enter into an `adb shell` session - to have a g2h
connection inside the VM, (2) open and then close /dev/vhost-vsock by
`exec 3< /dev/vhost-vsock && exec 3<&-`, (3) observe that the adb
session is not reset.

This patch adds the support of multiple transports in the
VSOCK core.
With the multi-transports support, we can use vsock with nested VMs
(using also different hypervisors) loading both guest->host and
host->guest transports at the same time.
Major changes:
- vsock core module can be loaded regardless of the transports
- vsock_core_init() and vsock_core_exit() are renamed to
vsock_core_register() and vsock_core_unregister()
- vsock_core_register() has a feature parameter (H2G, G2H, DGRAM)
to identify which directions the transport can handle and if it's
support DGRAM (only vmci)
- each stream socket is assigned to a transport when the remote CID
is set (during the connect() or when we receive a connection request
on a listener socket).
The remote CID is used to decide which transport to use:
- remote CID <= VMADDR_CID_HOST will use guest->host transport;
- remote CID == local_cid (guest->host transport) will use guest->host
transport for loopback (host->guest transports don't support loopback);
- remote CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST will use host->guest transport;
- listener sockets are not bound to any transports since no transport
operations are done on it. In this way we can create a listener
socket, also if the transports are not loaded or with VMADDR_CID_ANY
to listen on all transports.
- DGRAM sockets are handled as before, since only the vmci_transport
provides this feature.

When using the host personality, VMCI will grab a mutex for any
queue pair access. In the detach callback for the vmci vsock
transport, we call vsock_stream_has_data while holding a spinlock,
and vsock_stream_has_data will access a queue pair.
To avoid this, we can simply omit calling vsock_stream_has_data
for host side queue pairs, since the QPs are empty per default
when the guest has detached.
This bug affects users of VMware Workstation using kernel version
4.4 and later.

with this change, the host isn't calling vsock_stream_has_data

There are two state fields: socket->state and sock->sk_state. The
socket->state field uses SS_UNCONNECTED, SS_CONNECTED, etc while the
sock->sk_state typically uses values that match TCP state constants
(TCP_CLOSE, TCP_ESTABLISHED). AF_VSOCK does not follow this convention
and instead uses SS_* constants for both fields.
The sk_state field will be exposed to userspace through the vsock_diag
interface for ss(8), netstat(8), and other programs.
This patch switches sk_state to TCP state constants so that the meaning
of this field is consistent with other address families. Not just
AF_INET and AF_INET6 use the TCP constants, AF_UNIX and others do too.
The following mapping was used to convert the code:
SS_FREE -> TCP_CLOSE
SS_UNCONNECTED -> TCP_CLOSE
SS_CONNECTING -> TCP_SYN_SENT
SS_CONNECTED -> TCP_ESTABLISHED
SS_DISCONNECTING -> TCP_CLOSING
VSOCK_SS_LISTEN -> TCP_LISTEN
In __vsock_create() the sk_state initialization was dropped because
sock_init_data() already initializes sk_state to TCP_CLOSE.

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.
This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.
Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.
Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.
Changes since RFC:
Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.
With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0)
msg->msg_name = NULL
".
This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.
Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

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
