This patchset implements support of SOCK_SEQPACKET for virtio
transport.
	As SOCK_SEQPACKET guarantees to save record boundaries, so to
do it, two new packet operations were added: first for start of record
 and second to mark end of record(SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END later). Also,
both operations carries metadata - to maintain boundaries and payload
integrity. Metadata is introduced by adding special header with two
fields - message id and message length:

	struct virtio_vsock_seq_hdr {
		__le32  msg_id;
		__le32  msg_len;
	} __attribute__((packed));

	This header is transmitted as payload of SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END
packets(buffer of second virtio descriptor in chain) in the same way as
data transmitted in RW packets. Payload was chosen as buffer for this
header to avoid touching first virtio buffer which carries header of
packet, because someone could check that size of this buffer is equal
to size of packet header. To send record, packet with start marker is
sent first(it's header carries length of record and id),then all data
is sent as usual 'RW' packets and finally SEQ_END is sent(it carries
id of message, which is equal to id of SEQ_BEGIN), also after sending
SEQ_END id is incremented. On receiver's side,size of record is known
from packet with start record marker. To check that no packets were
dropped by transport, 'msg_id's of two sequential SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END
are checked to be equal and length of data between two markers is
compared to then length in SEQ_BEGIN header.
	Now as  packets of one socket are not reordered neither on
vsock nor on vhost transport layers, such markers allows to restore
original record on receiver's side. If user's buffer is smaller that
record length, when all out of size data is dropped.
	Maximum length of datagram is not limited as in stream socket,
because same credit logic is used. Difference with stream socket is
that user is not woken up until whole record is received or error
occurred. Implementation also supports 'MSG_EOR' and 'MSG_TRUNC' flags.
	Tests also implemented.

	Thanks to stsp2@yandex.ru for encouragements and initial design
recommendations.

 v6 -> v7:
 General changelog:
 - virtio transport callback for message length now removed
   from transport. Length of record is returned by dequeue
   callback.

 - function which tries to get message length now returns 0
   when rx queue is empty. Also length of current message in
   progress is set to 0, when message processed or error
   happens.

 - patches for virtio feature bit moved after patches with
   transport ops.

 Per patch changelog:
  see every patch after '---' line.

 v5 -> v6:
 General changelog:
 - virtio transport specific callbacks which send SEQ_BEGIN or
   SEQ_END now hidden inside virtio transport. Only enqueue,
   dequeue and record length callbacks are provided by transport.

 - virtio feature bit for SEQPACKET socket support introduced:
   VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_SEQPACKET.

 - 'msg_cnt' field in 'struct virtio_vsock_seq_hdr' renamed to
   'msg_id' and used as id.

 Per patch changelog:
 - 'af_vsock: separate wait data loop':
    1) Commit message updated.
    2) 'prepare_to_wait()' moved inside while loop(thanks to
      Jorgen Hansen).
    Marked 'Reviewed-by' with 1), but as 2) I removed R-b.

 - 'af_vsock: separate receive data loop': commit message
    updated.
    Marked 'Reviewed-by' with that fix.

 - 'af_vsock: implement SEQPACKET receive loop': style fixes.

 - 'af_vsock: rest of SEQPACKET support':
    1) 'module_put()' added when transport callback check failed.
    2) Now only 'seqpacket_allow()' callback called to check
       support of SEQPACKET by transport.

 - 'af_vsock: update comments for stream sockets': commit message
    updated.
    Marked 'Reviewed-by' with that fix.

 - 'virtio/vsock: set packet's type in send':
    1) Commit message updated.
    2) Parameter 'type' from 'virtio_transport_send_credit_update()'
       also removed in this patch instead of in next.

 - 'virtio/vsock: dequeue callback for SOCK_SEQPACKET': SEQPACKET
    related state wrapped to special struct.

 - 'virtio/vsock: update trace event for SEQPACKET': format strings
    now not broken by new lines.

 v4 -> v5:
 - patches reorganized:
   1) Setting of packet's type in 'virtio_transport_send_pkt_info()'
      is moved to separate patch.
   2) Simplifying of 'virtio_transport_send_credit_update()' is
      moved to separate patch and before main virtio/vsock patches.
 - style problem fixed
 - in 'af_vsock: separate receive data loop' extra 'release_sock()'
   removed
 - added trace event fields for SEQPACKET
 - in 'af_vsock: separate wait data loop':
   1) 'vsock_wait_data()' removed 'goto out;'
   2) Comment for invalid data amount is changed.
 - in 'af_vsock: rest of SEQPACKET support', 'new_transport' pointer
   check is moved after 'try_module_get()'
 - in 'af_vsock: update comments for stream sockets', 'connect-oriented'
   replaced with 'connection-oriented'
 - in 'loopback/vsock: setup SEQPACKET ops for transport',
   'loopback/vsock' replaced with 'vsock/loopback'

 v3 -> v4:
 - SEQPACKET specific metadata moved from packet header to payload
   and called 'virtio_vsock_seq_hdr'
 - record integrity check:
   1) SEQ_END operation was added, which marks end of record.
   2) Both SEQ_BEGIN and SEQ_END carries counter which is incremented
      on every marker send.
 - af_vsock.c: socket operations for STREAM and SEQPACKET call same
   functions instead of having own "gates" differs only by names:
   'vsock_seqpacket/stream_getsockopt()' now replaced with
   'vsock_connectible_getsockopt()'.
 - af_vsock.c: 'seqpacket_dequeue' callback returns error and flag that
   record ready. There is no need to return number of copied bytes,
   because case when record received successfully is checked at virtio
   transport layer, when SEQ_END is processed. Also user doesn't need
   number of copied bytes, because 'recv()' from SEQPACKET could return
   error, length of users's buffer or length of whole record(both are
   known in af_vsock.c).
 - af_vsock.c: both wait loops in af_vsock.c(for data and space) moved
   to separate functions because now both called from several places.
 - af_vsock.c: 'vsock_assign_transport()' checks that 'new_transport'
   pointer is not NULL and returns 'ESOCKTNOSUPPORT' instead of 'ENODEV'
   if failed to use transport.
 - tools/testing/vsock/vsock_test.c: rename tests

 v2 -> v3:
 - patches reorganized: split for prepare and implementation patches
 - local variables are declared in "Reverse Christmas tree" manner
 - virtio_transport_common.c: valid leXX_to_cpu() for vsock header
   fields access
 - af_vsock.c: 'vsock_connectible_*sockopt()' added as shared code
   between stream and seqpacket sockets.
 - af_vsock.c: loops in '__vsock_*_recvmsg()' refactored.
 - af_vsock.c: 'vsock_wait_data()' refactored.

 v1 -> v2:
 - patches reordered: af_vsock.c related changes now before virtio vsock
 - patches reorganized: more small patches, where +/- are not mixed
 - tests for SOCK_SEQPACKET added
 - all commit messages updated
 - af_vsock.c: 'vsock_pre_recv_check()' inlined to
   'vsock_connectible_recvmsg()'
 - af_vsock.c: 'vsock_assign_transport()' returns ENODEV if transport
   was not found
 - virtio_transport_common.c: transport callback for seqpacket dequeue
 - virtio_transport_common.c: simplified
   'virtio_transport_recv_connected()'
 - virtio_transport_common.c: send reset on socket and packet type
			      mismatch.

I reviewed the series and I left some comments, I think we are at a good 
point, but we should have the specification accepted before merging this 
series to avoid having to change the implementation later.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Stefano
