[PATCH] vsock: only load vmci transport on VMware hypervisor by default

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Without the patch, vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko can automatically load
when an application creates an AF_VSOCK socket.

This is the expected good behavior on VMware hypervisor, but as we
are going to add hv_sock.ko (i.e. Hyper-V transport for AF_VSOCK), we
should make sure vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko can't load on Hyper-V,
otherwise there is a -EBUSY conflict when both vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko
and hv_sock.ko try to call vsock_core_init() on Hyper-V.

On the other hand, hv_sock.ko can only load on Hyper-V, because it
depends on hv_vmbus.ko, which detects Hyper-V in hv_acpi_init().

KVM's vsock_virtio_transport doesn't have the issue because it doesn't
define MODULE_ALIAS_NETPROTO(PF_VSOCK).

The patch also adds a module parameter "skip_hypervisor_check" for
vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko.
