    hv_sock: implements Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets (AF_VSOCK) · ae0078fc
    Dexuan Cui authored
    Hyper-V Sockets (hv_sock) supplies a byte-stream based communication
    mechanism between the host and the guest. It uses VMBus ringbuffer as the
    transportation layer.
    
    With hv_sock, applications between the host (Windows 10, Windows Server
    2016 or newer) and the guest can talk with each other using the traditional
    socket APIs.
    
    More info about Hyper-V Sockets is available here:

    The patch implements the necessary support in Linux guest by introducing a new
    vsock transport for AF_VSOCK.
