[PATCH net-next 0/3] vsock: support network namespace

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

 



RFC -> v1:
 * added 'netns' module param to vsock.ko to enable the
   network namespace support (disabled by default)
 * added 'vsock_net_eq()' to check the "net" assigned to a socket
   only when 'netns' support is enabled

RFC: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1202235/

Now that we have multi-transport upstream, I started to take a look to
support network namespace in vsock.

As we partially discussed in the multi-transport proposal [1], it could
be nice to support network namespace in vsock to reach the following
goals:
- isolate host applications from guest applications using the same ports
  with CID_ANY
- assign the same CID of VMs running in different network namespaces
- partition VMs between VMMs or at finer granularity

This new feature is disabled by default, because it changes vsock's
behavior with network namespaces and could break existing applications.
It can be enabled with the new 'netns' module parameter of vsock.ko.

This implementation provides the following behavior:
- packets received from the host (received by G2H transports) are
  assigned to the default netns (init_net)
- packets received from the guest (received by H2G - vhost-vsock) are
  assigned to the netns of the process that opens /dev/vhost-vsock
  (usually the VMM, qemu in my tests, opens the /dev/vhost-vsock)
    - for vmci I need some suggestions, because I don't know how to do
      and test the same in the vmci driver, for now vmci uses the
      init_net
- loopback packets are exchanged only in the same netns

I tested the series in this way:
l0_host$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -M accel=kvm -smp 4 \
            -drive file=/tmp/vsockvm0.img,if=virtio --nographic \
            -device vhost-vsock-pci,guest-cid=3

l1_vm$ echo 1 > /sys/module/vsock/parameters/netns

l1_vm$ ip netns add ns1
l1_vm$ ip netns add ns2
 # same CID on different netns
l1_vm$ ip netns exec ns1 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G -M accel=kvm -smp 2 \
            -drive file=/tmp/vsockvm1.img,if=virtio --nographic \
            -device vhost-vsock-pci,guest-cid=4
l1_vm$ ip netns exec ns2 qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G -M accel=kvm -smp 2 \
            -drive file=/tmp/vsockvm2.img,if=virtio --nographic \
            -device vhost-vsock-pci,guest-cid=4

 # all iperf3 listen on CID_ANY and port 5201, but in different netns
l1_vm$ ./iperf3 --vsock -s # connection from l0 or guests started
                           # on default netns (init_net)
l1_vm$ ip netns exec ns1 ./iperf3 --vsock -s
l1_vm$ ip netns exec ns1 ./iperf3 --vsock -s

l0_host$ ./iperf3 --vsock -c 3
l2_vm1$ ./iperf3 --vsock -c 2
l2_vm2$ ./iperf3 --vsock -c 2

Stefano Garzarella (3):
  vsock: add network namespace support
  vsock/virtio_transport_common: handle netns of received packets
  vhost/vsock: use netns of process that opens the vhost-vsock device
