[PATCH RFC net-next v13 01/13] vsock: add per-net vsock NS mode state

From: Bobby Eshleman <hidden>
Date: 2025-12-24 00:28:56
Also in: kvm, linux-hyperv, linux-kselftest, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, virtio and vhost vsock driver, vm sockets (af_vsock) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Stefan Hajnoczi, Stefano Garzarella

From: Bobby Eshleman <redacted>

Add the per-net vsock NS mode state. This only adds the structure for
holding the mode and some of the functions for setting/getting and
checking the mode, but does not integrate the functionality yet.

Future patches add the uAPI and transport-specific usage of these
structures and helpers.

Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <redacted>

Changes in v13:
- remove net_mode because net->vsock.mode becomes immutable, no need to
  save the mode when vsocks are created.
- add the new helpers for child_ns_mode to support ns_mode inheriting
  the mode from child_ns_mode.
- because ns_mode is immutable and child_ns_mode can be changed multiple
  times, remove the write-once lock.
- simplify vsock_net_check_mode() to no longer take mode arguments since
  the mode can be accessed via the net pointers without fear of the mode
  changing.
- add logic in vsock_net_check_mode() to infer VSOCK_NET_MODE_GLOBAL
  from NULL namespaces in order to allow only net pointers to be passed
  to vsock_net_check_mode(), while still allowing namespace-unaware
  transports to force global mode.

Changes in v10:
- change mode_locked to int (Stefano)

Changes in v9:
- use xchg(), WRITE_ONCE(), READ_ONCE() for mode and mode_locked (Stefano)
- clarify mode0/mode1 meaning in vsock_net_check_mode() comment
- remove spin lock in net->vsock (not used anymore)
- change mode from u8 to enum vsock_net_mode in vsock_net_write_mode()

Changes in v7:
- clarify vsock_net_check_mode() comments
- change to `orig_net_mode == VSOCK_NET_MODE_GLOBAL && orig_net_mode == vsk->orig_net_mode`
- remove extraneous explanation of `orig_net_mode`
- rename `written` to `mode_locked`
- rename `vsock_hdr` to `sysctl_hdr`
- change `orig_net_mode` to `net_mode`
- make vsock_net_check_mode() more generic by taking just net pointers
  and modes, instead of a vsock_sock ptr, for reuse by transports
  (e.g., vhost_vsock)

Changes in v6:
- add orig_net_mode to store mode at creation time which will be used to
  avoid breakage when namespace changes mode during socket/VM lifespan

Changes in v5:
- use /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode instead of /proc/net/vsock_ns_mode
- change from net->vsock.ns_mode to net->vsock.mode
- change vsock_net_set_mode() to vsock_net_write_mode()
- vsock_net_write_mode() returns bool for write success to avoid
  need to use vsock_net_mode_can_set()
- remove vsock_net_mode_can_set()
