Subject: Problems with VSOCK?
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:11:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6456403.c195oTrMFj@sifl> (raw)
Hi Andy,
I'm currently looking at the VSOCK implementation in netdev-next to determine
what we need in the way of LSM hooks and I ran into a few things which look
rather odd:
* net/vmw_sock/Kconfig
VMWARE_VMCI_SOCKETS depends on VMWARE_VMCI which doesn't look to be defined
anywhere, help? For what it is worth, removing the VMWARE_VMCI dependency
seems to fix things. Here is a simple patch to demonstrate the problem:
diff --git a/net/vmw_vsock/Kconfig b/net/vmw_vsock/Kconfig
index b5fa7e4..7c72881 100644
--- a/net/vmw_vsock/Kconfig
+++ b/net/vmw_vsock/Kconfig
@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ config VSOCKETS
config VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS
tristate "VMware VMCI transport for Virtual Sockets"
- depends on VSOCKETS && VMWARE_VMCI
+ depends on VSOCKETS
help
This module implements a VMCI transport for Virtual Sockets.
* [include/]linux/vmw_vmci_defs.h
* [include/]linux/vmw_vmci_api.h
* [include/]linux/vm_sockets.h
This header files are included in vmci_transport_notify.h, and perhaps others,
but don't seem to be present in the tree. There may be others, these are just
the first ones the compiler stumbled across. Perhaps a missing git-add
command?
* struct vmci_datagram
I can't find where this is defined, yet it is used in various places,
including as a member in struct vmci_transport_packet. Likely related to the
missing header files.
* vmci_datagram_send(struct vmci_datagram *) {guessing at the prototype}
Same problem, I can't find where this is defined.
Perhaps I'm just being particularly stupid today (my apologies if that is the
case), but I've refreshed my local git repository a few times now and double
checked the mailing list and I haven't found anything. Can you provide some
help here?
Thanks,
-Paul
