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

Compared to copying packets via userspace, this improves throughput by
121% 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 (+121%)
- 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.
Appears reasonable to me although I didn't review internals of all
the af_vsock stuff. I see it got merged great.
Thanks for checking!
One nit, I have a series coming shortly to pull the tests out of
the sockmap_listen and into a sockmap_vsock because I don't think they
belong in _listen but that is just a refactor.
LGTM!
Thanks,
Stefano
