Hi,
now that we have multi-transport upstream, I started to take a look to
support network namespace (netns) 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 preliminary 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
Questions:
1. Should we make configurable the netns (now it is init_net) where
packets from the host should be delivered?
2. Should we provide an ioctl in vhost-vsock to configure the netns
to use? (instead of using the netns of the process that opens
/dev/vhost-vsock)
3. Should we provide a way to disable the netns support in vsock?
4. Jorgen: Do you think can be useful support it in vmci host
driver?
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$ 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
This series is on top of the vsock-loopback series (not yet merged),
and it is available in the Git repository at:
git://github.com/stefano-garzarella/linux.git vsock-netns
Any comments are really appreciated!
Thanks,
Stefano
