[PATCH RFC net-next v3 0/8] virtio/vsock: support datagrams

[Bobby Eshleman]

Hey all!

This series introduces support for datagrams to virtio/vsock.

It is a spin-off (and smaller version) of this series from the summer: 
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1660362668.git.bobby.eshleman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Please note that this is an RFC and should not be merged until
associated changes are made to the virtio specification, which will
follow after discussion from this series.

This series first supports datagrams in a basic form for virtio, and
then optimizes the sendpath for all transports.

The result is a very fast datagram communication protocol that
outperforms even UDP on multi-queue virtio-net w/ vhost on a variety
of multi-threaded workload samples.

For those that are curious, some summary data comparing UDP and VSOCK
DGRAM (N=5):

	vCPUS: 16
	virtio-net queues: 16
	payload size: 4KB
	Setup: bare metal + vm (non-nested)

	UDP: 287.59 MB/s
	VSOCK DGRAM: 509.2 MB/s

Some notes about the implementation...

This datagram implementation forces datagrams to self-throttle according
to the threshold set by sk_sndbuf. It behaves similar to the credits
used by streams in its effect on throughput and memory consumption, but
it is not influenced by the receiving socket as credits are.

The device drops packets silently.

As discussed previously, this series introduces datagrams and defers
fairness to future work. See discussion in v2 for more context around
datagrams, fairness, and this implementation.

Changes in v3:
- Support multi-transport dgram, changing logic in connect/bind
  to support VMCI case
- Support per-pkt transport lookup for sendto() case
- Fix dgram_allow() implementation
- Fix dgram feature bit number (now it is 3)
- Fix binding so dgram and connectible (cid,port) spaces are
  non-overlapping
- RCU protect transport ptr so connect() calls never leave
  a lockless read of the transport and remote_addr are always
  in sync
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230413-b4-vsock-dgram-v2-0-079cc7cee62e@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
