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. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
