IIUC this also requires some qemu patch, because in current

implementation of vsock device in qemu, there is no 'set_features'

callback for such device. This callback will handle guest's write

to feature register, by calling vhost kernel backend, where this

bit will be processed by host.

Well patching userspace to make use of a kernel feature
is par for the course, isn't it?


IMHO I'm not sure that SEQPACKET support needs feature

bit - it is just two new ops for virtio vsock protocol, and from point

of view of virtio device it is same as STREAM. May be it is needed

for cases when client tries to connect to server which doesn't support

SEQPACKET, so without bit result will be "Connection reset by peer",

and with such bit client will know that server doesn't support it and

'socket(SOCK_SEQPACKET)' will return error?

Yes, a better error handling would be one reason to do it like this.

Agree, in this way we could implement a 'seqpacket_allow' callback (similar to 'stream_allow'), and we can return 'true' if the feature is negotiated.

So instead of checking all the seqpacket callbacks, we can use only this callback to understand if the transport support it.
We can implement it also for other transports (vmci, hyperv) and return always false for now.

Thanks,
