Summary

Implements SEQPACKET socket type support for virtio vsock to enable datagram relay use cases while preserving packet boundaries.

Changes

  • Added SEQPACKET socket type handling in vsock implementation
  • Enhanced socket type validation to ensure host UDS matches vsock socket type
  • Updated connection logic to support both SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET
  • Added proper error handling for socket type mismatches

Motivation

This change addresses the need for VMs to relay datagrams over vsock while maintaining packet boundaries, which SOCK_STREAM cannot provide as it combines packets together. The VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_SEQPACKET feature is part of the virtio specification v1.2.

Testing

  • Verified SEQPACKET socket creation and connection
  • Tested socket type validation between vsock and host UDS
  • Ensured backward compatibility with existing SOCK_STREAM functionality

Fixes #4822
