The tricky thing will be implementing dgram sockets in a way that minimizes dropped packets and provides some degree of fairness between senders. Those are implementation issues though and not visible at the device specification level. > diff --git a/virtio-vsock.tex b/virtio-vsock.tex > index da7e641..26a62ac 100644 > --- a/virtio-vsock.tex > +++ b/virtio-vsock.tex > @@ -9,14 +9,37 @@ \subsection{Device ID}\label{sec:Device Types / Socket Device / Device ID} > > \subsection{Virtqueues}\label{sec:Device Types / Socket Device / Virtqueues} > \begin{description} > -\item[0] rx > -\item[1] tx > +\item[0] stream rx > +\item[1] stream tx > +\item[2] datagram rx > +\item[3] datagram tx > +\item[4] event > +\end{description} > +The virtio socket device uses 5 queues if feature bit VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_DRGAM is set.

Is this really bit 2 or did you mean bit 1 (value 0x2)? What happens to the virtqueue layout when VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_DGRAM is present and VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_STREAM is absent? The virtqueue section above implies that VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_STREAM is always present. > +\end{description} > + > +If no feature bits are defined, assume device only supports stream socket type. It's cleaner to define VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_NO_STREAM (0) instead. When the bit is set the stream socket type is not available and the stream_rx/tx virtqueues are absent. This way it's not necessary to define special behavior depending on certain combinations of feature bits. > \subsubsection{Receive and Transmit}\label{sec:Device Types / Socket Device / Device Operation / Receive and Transmit} > -The driver queues outgoing packets on the tx virtqueue and incoming packet > +The driver queues outgoing packets on the tx virtqueue and allocates incoming packet > receive buffers on the rx virtqueue. Packets are of the following form: This change seems unrelated to dgram sockets. I don't think adding the word "allocates" makes things clearer or more precise. The driver may reuse receive buffers rather than allocating fresh buffers. I suggest dropping this change. > > \begin{lstlisting} > @@ -195,6 +235,7 @@ \subsubsection{Receive and Transmit}\label{sec:Device Types / Socket Device / De > }; > \end{lstlisting} > > + > Virtqueue buffers for outgoing packets are read-only.
