I was just thinking that in general we know the transport at that point, so we could ensure that the socket would only see traffic from the relevant transport, but as you mention below - the updated bind lookup, and the added checks when selecting transport should also take care of this, so that is fine. > For listener socket the "[PATCH net-next 14/14] vsock: fix bind() behaviour > taking care of CID" provides this behaviour. > Since the listener sockets don't use any transport specific callback > (they don't send any data to the remote peer), but they are used as > placeholder, > we don't need to assign them to a transport. > > > > > > > > The remote CID is used to decide which transport to use: > > > - remote CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST will use host->guest transport > > > - remote CID <= VMADDR_CID_HOST will use guest->host transport > > > - listener sockets are not bound to any transports since no transport > > > operations are done on it.

If both src and dst CID are CID_HOST, we should be fairly sure that this Is host loopback, no? If src is anything else, we would do G2H. > > Since several people asked about this feature at the KVM Forum, I would like > to add a new VMADDR_CID_LOCAL (i.e. using the reserved 1) and implement > loopback in the core. > > What do you think? What kind of use cases are mentioned in the KVM forum for loopback? One concern is that we have to maintain yet another interprocess communication mechanism, even though other choices exist already (and those are likely to be more efficient given the development time and specific focus that went into those). To me, the local connections are mainly useful as a way to sanity test the protocol and transports. However, if loopback is compelling, it would make sense have it in the core, since it shouldn't need a specific transport. > > > If we select transport during bind to a specific CID, this comment > > Also in this case, are you talking about the peer that will call > connect()?
