Subject: [RFC] loading vmw_vsock_virtio_transport by systemd breaks vsock_loopback autoloading
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:02:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320110224.GA140154@pevik> (raw)
Hi all,
there is a systemd bug [1] which causes vsock_loopback not to be autoloaded due
previous loading vmw_vsock_virtio_transport in an early phase of boot.
vmw_vsock_virtio_transport requires vmw_vsock_virtio_transport_common and vsock,
vsock_loopback requires vsock.
Reproducer: [2].
Proposed fix in systemd: [3]
While I think the bug should be fixed in systemd with proposed fix [3] we'd like
to know opinion of the kernel vsock developers in case there is a way to improve
vsock modules autoloading.
Kind regards,
Petr
