This can be defined in the block where it's used.


Got it.

What about adding an API that transports can use to hide this?

I mean something that hide vsock_cb creation and queue packet in the
socket receive queue. I'd also not expose vsock_skb_cb in an header, but
I'd handle it internally in af_vsock.c. So I'd just expose API to
queue/dequeue them.


Got it. I will move vsock_skb_cb to af_vsock.c and create an API:

vsock_dgram_skb_save_src_addr(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 cid, u32 port)

This is okay, but I would try to go further by directly adding an API to queue dgrams in af_vsock.c (if it's feasible).


Different dgram implementations will call this API instead of the code
block above to save the source address information into the control
buffer.

A side note on why this is a vsock API instead of a member )unction in
transport: As we move to support multi-transport dgram, different
transport implementations can place skb into the sk->sk_receive_queue.
Therefore, we cannot call transport-specific function in
vsock_dgram_recvmsg() to initialize struct sockaddr_vm. Hence, the
receiving paths of different transports need to call this API to save
source address.

What I meant is, why virtio_transport_recv_dgram() can't be exposed by af_vsock.c as vsock_recv_dgram() and handle all internally, like populate vsock_cb, call sock_queue_rcv_skb(), etc.


Also why VMCI is using sk_receive_skb(), while we are using
sock_queue_rcv_skb()?


I _think_ originally we referred to UDP and UDS when designing virtio
dgram, and ended up with placing skb into sk_receive_queue directly. I
will look into this to provide better justification.

Great, thanks.

Maybe we can also ping VMCI maintainers to understand if they can switch to sock_queue_rcv_skb(). But we should understand better the difference.

Thanks,
Stefano
