Julia Lawall 3b22dae38d VSOCK: constify vmci_transport_notify_ops structures
The vmci_transport_notify_ops structures are never modified, so declare
them as const.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.

Jorgen Hansen 4ef7ea9195 VSOCK: sock_put wasn't safe to call in interrupt context
In the vsock vmci_transport driver, sock_put wasn't safe to call
in interrupt context, since that may call the vsock destructor
which in turn calls several functions that should only be called
from process context. This change defers the callling of these
functions  to a worker thread. All these functions were
deallocation of resources related to the transport itself.

Furthermore, an unused callback was removed to simplify the
cleanup.

Multiple customers have been hitting this issue when using
VMware tools on vSphere 2015.

Also added a version to the vmci transport module (starting from
1.0.2.0-k since up until now it appears that this module was
sharing version with vsock that is currently at 1.0.1.0-k).

Asias He 82a54d0ebb VSOCK: Move af_vsock.h and vsock_addr.h to include/net
This is useful for other VSOCK transport implemented outside the
net/vmw_vsock/ directory to use these headers.

Reilly Grant 2a89f9247a VSOCK: Support VM sockets connected to the hypervisor.
The resource ID used for VM socket control packets (0) is already
used for the VMCI_GET_CONTEXT_ID hypercall so a new ID (15) must be
used when the guest sends these datagrams to the hypervisor.

The hypervisor context ID must also be removed from the internal
blacklist.

Andy King d021c34405 VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets
VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host.  A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.

Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services.  In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent.  Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.

The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface.  The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.

For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:
