David S. Miller 15769ff8b6 Merge branch 'VSOCK-add-vsockmon'
Stefan Hajnoczi says:

====================
VSOCK: vsockmon virtual device to monitor AF_VSOCK sockets.

v5:
 * Change vsock_deliver_tap() API to avoid unnecessary skb creation
   [Jorgen]
 * Fix skb leak when no taps are registered [Jorgen]
 * s/cpu_to_le16(pkt->hdr.op)/le16_to_cpu(pkt->hdr.op)/ [Michael]
 * Add af_vsock_tap.c and vsockmon.[ch] to MAINTAINERS
 * checkpatch.pl and sparse fixes

v4:
 * Add explicit reserved padding field to struct af_vsockmon_hdr and
   drop __attribute__((packed)) [Michael, DaveM]
 * Call synchronize_net() before module_put() [Michael]

v3:
 * Hook virtio_transport.c (guest driver), not just drivers/vhost/vsock.c (host
   driver)
 * Fix DEFAULT_MTU macro definition [Zhu Yanjun]
 * Rename af_vsockmon_hdr->t field ->transport for clarity
 * Update .ndo_get_stats64() return type since it has changed
 * Include missing <linux/module.h> header in af_vsock_tap.c

This is a continuation of Gerard Garcia's work on the vsockmon packet capture
interface for AF_VSOCK.  Packet capture is an essential feature for network
communication.  Gerard began addressing this feature gap in his Google Summer
of Code 2016 project.  I have cleaned up, rebased, and retested the v2 series
he posted previously.

The design follows the nlmon packet capture interface closely.  This is because
vsock has the same problem as netlink: there is no netdev on which packets can
be captured.  The nlmon driver is a synthetic netdev purely for the purpose of
enabling packet capture.  We follow the same approach here with vsockmon.

See include/uapi/linux/vsockmon.h in this series for details on the packet
layout.

How to try it:

1. Build tcpdump with vsockmon patches:

  $ git clone -b vsock https://github.com/stefanha/libpcap
  $ (cd libcap && ./configure && make)
  $ git clone -b vsock https://github.com/stefanha/tcpdump
  $ (cd tcpdump && ./configure && make)

2. Build nc-vsock (a netcat-like tool):

  $ git clone https://github.com/stefanha/nc-vsock
  $ (cd nc-vsock && make)

3. Launch a virtual machine:

  # modprobe vhost_vsock
  # qemu-system-x86_64 -M accel=kvm -m 1024 -cpu host \
      -drive if=virtio,file=test.img,format=raw \
      -device vhost-vsock-pci,guest-cid=3

  (Assumes guest is running a kernel with this patch)

4. Capture AF_VSOCK traffic in guest and/or host:

  # modprobe vsockmon
  # ip link add type vsockmon
  # ip link set vsockmon0 up
  # tcpdump -i vsockmon0 -vvv

5. Communicate!

  (host)$ nc-vsock -l 1234
  (guest)$ nc-vsock 2 1234

README

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.
