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

-	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
