本文详细解析了DPDK环境下，使用vhostuser接口与KVM虚拟机（qemu）通过unixsocket进行通信的机制。在ovs启动时，会创建vhostuser类型的接口，并注册到vhost驱动，创建相应的unixsocket。当vhostuser作为客户端时，会尝试与qemu建立连接，若连接失败则启动重连线程。一旦连接建立，vhost-user接口会通过vhost_event线程监听socket的读写事件，进行数据交换。

概述

使用ovs+dpdk模式的kvm虚机，在ovs上会创建一个vhostuser类型的口，vhostuser通过unix socket方式与qemu建立前后端通信机制，其中vhostuser分为server类型和clinet类型，当vhostuser为clinet时，vhotuser主动跟qemu建立连接，因此当ovs重启的时候，可保证虚机自动重连。本文主要描述dpdk侧vhostuser与qemu之间unix socket连接建立过程。

rte_vhost_driver_register

当ovs添加一个vhostuser口时，会进入该register流程，在register流程里，首先根据传递下来的unxi socket文件路径创建socket信息，然后保存到unix socket本地数据里；

int
rte_vhost_driver_register(const char *path, uint64_t flags)
{
	int ret = -1;
	struct vhost_user_socket *vsocket;

	if (!path)
		return -1;

	pthread_mutex_lock(&vhost_user.mutex);

	if (vhost_user.vsocket_cnt == MAX_VHOST_SOCKET) {
		RTE_LOG(ERR, VHOST_CONFIG,
			"error: the number of vhost sockets reaches maximum\n");
		goto out;
	}

	vsocket = malloc(sizeof(struct vhost_user_socket));
	if (!vsocket)
		goto out;
	memset(vsocket, 0, sizeof(struct vhost_user_socket));
	//对vsocket的path信息赋值
	vsocket->path = strdup(path);
	if (vsocket->path == NULL) {
		RTE_LOG(ERR, VHOST_CONFIG,
			"error: failed to copy socket path string\n");
		vhost_user_socket_mem_free(vsocket);
		goto out;
	}
	TAILQ_INIT(&vsocket->conn_list);
	ret = pthread_mutex_init(&vsocket->conn_mutex, NULL);
	if (ret) {
		RTE_LOG(ERR, VHOST_CONFIG,
			"error: failed to init connection mutex\n");
		goto out_free;
	}
	vsocket->dequeue_zero_copy = flags & RTE_VHOST_USER_DEQUEUE_ZERO_COPY;

	/*
	 * Set the supported features correctly for the builtin vhost-user
	 * net driver.
	 *
	 * Applications know nothing about features the builtin virtio net
	 * driver (virtio_net.c) supports, thus it's not possible for them

	 * two values.
	 */
	vsocket->use_builtin_virtio_net = true;
	vsocket->supported_features = VIRTIO_NET_SUPPORTED_FEATURES;
	vsocket->features           = VIRTIO_NET_SUPPORTED_FEATURES;
	vsocket->protocol_features  = VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_FEATURES;
