[PATCH RFC 0/3] vsock: add support for sockmap

From: Bobby Eshleman
Date: Wed Jan 18 2023 - 15:29:29 EST


Add support for sockmap to vsock.

We're testing usage of vsock as a way to redirect guest-local UDS requests to
the host and this patch series greatly improves the performance of such a
setup.

Compared to copying packets via userspace, this improves throughput by 221% in
basic testing.

Tested as follows.

Setup: guest unix dgram sender -> guest vsock redirector -> host vsock server
Threads: 1
Payload: 64k
No sockmap:
- 76.3 MB/s
- The guest vsock redirector was
"socat VSOCK-CONNECT:2:1234 UNIX-RECV:/path/to/sock"
Using sockmap (this patch):
- 168.8 MB/s (+221%)
- The guest redirector was a simple sockmap echo server,
redirecting unix ingress to vsock 2:1234 egress.
- Same sender and server programs

Only the virtio transport has been tested. The loopback transport was used in
writing bpf/selftests, but not thoroughly tested otherwise.

This series requires the skb patch.
