vsock: add multi-transports support
This patch adds the support of multiple transports in the
VSOCK core.
With the multi-transports support, we can use vsock with nested VMs
(using also different hypervisors) loading both guest->host and
host->guest transports at the same time.
Major changes:
- vsock core module can be loaded regardless of the transports
- vsock_core_init() and vsock_core_exit() are renamed to
vsock_core_register() and vsock_core_unregister()
- vsock_core_register() has a feature parameter (H2G, G2H, DGRAM)
to identify which directions the transport can handle and if it's
support DGRAM (only vmci)
- each stream socket is assigned to a transport when the remote CID
is set (during the connect() or when we receive a connection request
on a listener socket).
The remote CID is used to decide which transport to use:
- remote CID <= VMADDR_CID_HOST will use guest->host transport;
- remote CID == local_cid (guest->host transport) will use guest->host
transport for loopback (host->guest transports don't support loopback);
- remote CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST will use host->guest transport;
- listener sockets are not bound to any transports since no transport
operations are done on it. In this way we can create a listener
socket, also if the transports are not loaded or with VMADDR_CID_ANY
to listen on all transports.
- DGRAM sockets are handled as before, since only the vmci_transport
provides this feature.
