Hi Arseny,

	This patchset implements support of SOCK_SEQPACKET for virtio
transport.
	As SOCK_SEQPACKET guarantees to save record boundaries, so to
do it, two new packet operations were added: first for start of record
and second to mark end of record(SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END later). Also,
both operations carries metadata - to maintain boundaries and payload
integrity. Metadata is introduced by adding special header with two
fields - message id and message length:

	struct virtio_vsock_seq_hdr {
		__le32  msg_id;
		__le32  msg_len;
	} __attribute__((packed));

	This header is transmitted as payload of SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END
packets(buffer of second virtio descriptor in chain) in the same way as
data transmitted in RW packets. Payload was chosen as buffer for this
header to avoid touching first virtio buffer which carries header of
packet, because someone could check that size of this buffer is equal
to size of packet header. To send record, packet with start marker is
sent first(it's header carries length of record and id),then all data
is sent as usual 'RW' packets and finally SEQ_END is sent(it carries
id of message, which is equal to id of SEQ_BEGIN), also after sending
SEQ_END id is incremented. On receiver's side,size of record is known
from packet with start record marker. To check that no packets were
dropped by transport, 'msg_id's of two sequential SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END
are checked to be equal and length of data between two markers is
compared to then length in SEQ_BEGIN header.
	Now as  packets of one socket are not reordered neither on
vsock nor on vhost transport layers, such markers allows to restore
original record on receiver's side. If user's buffer is smaller that
record length, when all out of size data is dropped.
	Maximum length of datagram is not limited as in stream socket,
because same credit logic is used. Difference with stream socket is
that user is not woken up until whole record is received or error
occurred. Implementation also supports 'MSG_EOR' and 'MSG_TRUNC' flags.
	Tests also implemented.

	Thanks to stsp2@xxxxxxxxx for encouragements and initial design
recommendations.

v5 -> v6:
General changelog:
- virtio transport specific callbacks which send SEQ_BEGIN or
  SEQ_END now hidden inside virtio transport. Only enqueue,
  dequeue and record length callbacks are provided by transport.

- virtio feature bit for SEQPACKET socket support introduced:
  VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_SEQPACKET.

- 'msg_cnt' field in 'struct virtio_vsock_seq_hdr' renamed to
  'msg_id' and used as id.

Per patch changelog:
- 'af_vsock: separate wait data loop':
   1) Commit message updated.
   2) 'prepare_to_wait()' moved inside while loop(thanks to
     Jorgen Hansen).
   Marked 'Reviewed-by' with 1), but as 2) I removed R-b.

- 'af_vsock: separate receive data loop': commit message
   updated.
   Marked 'Reviewed-by' with that fix.

- 'af_vsock: implement SEQPACKET receive loop': style fixes.

- 'af_vsock: rest of SEQPACKET support':
   1) 'module_put()' added when transport callback check failed.
   2) Now only 'seqpacket_allow()' callback called to check
      support of SEQPACKET by transport.

- 'af_vsock: update comments for stream sockets': commit message
   updated.
   Marked 'Reviewed-by' with that fix.

- 'virtio/vsock: set packet's type in send':
   1) Commit message updated.
   2) Parameter 'type' from 'virtio_transport_send_credit_update()'
      also removed in this patch instead of in next.

- 'virtio/vsock: dequeue callback for SOCK_SEQPACKET': SEQPACKET
   related state wrapped to special struct.

- 'virtio/vsock: update trace event for SEQPACKET': format strings
   now not broken by new lines.

I left a bunch of comments in the patches, I hope they are easy to fix :-)

Thanks for the changelogs. About 'per patch changelog', it is very useful! Just a suggestion, I think is better to include them in each patch after the '---' to simplify the review.

You can use git-notes(1) or you can simply edit the format-patch and add the changelog after the 3 dashes, so that they are ignored when the patch is applied.

Thanks,
Stefano
