I agree on this principle of avoiding duplication. However my feeling is: IMHO different hypervisor sockets were developed independently without coordination and the implementation details could be so different that an enough generic framework/infrastructure is difficult, e.g., at first glance, it looks AF_IUCV is quite different from AF_VSOCK and this might explain why AF_VSOCK wasn't built on AF_IUCV(?).
I'll dig more into AF_IUCV, AF_VSOCK and AF_HYPERV and figure out what is the best direction I should go. Thanks, -- Dexuan _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
