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 *Note: these numbers are from RFC v1 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 _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
