The cover doesn't say who needs it. Bobby and Amery took the same feature to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240710212555.1617795-1-amery.hung@bytedance.com/ Stefano said there that it can work well and that the virtio spec change is the next step. The last mails of the thread have Amery's v7 WIP and a short list of what is left. The cover doesn't mention it. The spec change is still missing. Why not finish v7 instead ? This RFC goes the other way in these places: what v6 this RFC ----------------- ------------------------ ---------------------------- (cid, port) space own bind table for dgram shared with stream. The 2nd bind() gets EADDRINUSE vsk->transport empty until connect(), g2h or h2g, picked in lookup per packet socket(). -ENODEV with vsock_loopback only routing one helper for stream 2nd copy of the chain in and dgram vsock_assign_transport() recvmsg() in af_vsock.c, dgram_dequeue() stays, no dgram_dequeue() dgram_payload_len() is new VMCI fallback first.

VMCI keeps priority as the dedicated datagram A dgram socket uses two members of struct virtio_vsock_sock: tx_lock and bytes_unsent. They serve SIOCOUTQ only. virtio_transport_alloc_skb() does skb_set_owner_w() already. udp_ioctl() returns sk_wmem_alloc_get() for SIOCOUTQ. Without them a dgram socket has no transport state, like in v6. Then no need for the owner transport, dgram_transport_match(), fallback_transport, tx_accounted, the skb destructor, etc. > transport. Guest RX buffers accommodate complete messages when > datagrams are negotiated, preserving message boundaries. That's 64K per RX buffer instead of 4K, for stream and seqpacket too. It undoes commit 03a92f036a04 ("vsock/virtio: Resize receive buffers so that each SKB fits in a 4K page"). pskb_trim_unique() doesn't reduce skb->truesize. So a datagram of 1 byte charges more than 64K to sk_rmem_alloc of the guest socket. The default sk_rcvbuf is about 208K on x86-64. The 5th datagram in the queue is dropped.
