VSOCK: add tools/testing/vsock/vsock_diag_test
This patch adds tests for the vsock_diag.ko module. These tests are not self-tests because they require manual set up of a KVM or VMware guest. Please see tools/testing/vsock/README for instructions. The control.h and timeout.h infrastructure can be used for additional AF_VSOCK tests in the future. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+AF_VSOCK test suite
+-------------------
+These tests exercise net/vmw_vsock/ host<->guest sockets for VMware, KVM, and
+Hyper-V.
+
+The following tests are available:
+
+ * vsock_diag_test - vsock_diag.ko module for listing open sockets
+
+The following prerequisite steps are not automated and must be performed prior
+to running tests:
+
+1. Build the kernel and these tests.
+2. Install the kernel and tests on the host.
+3. Install the kernel and tests inside the guest.
+4. Boot the guest and ensure that the AF_VSOCK transport is enabled.
+
+Invoke test binaries in both directions as follows:
+
+ # host=server, guest=client
+ (host)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=server \
+ --control-port=1234 \
+ --peer-cid=3
+ (guest)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=client \
+ --control-host=$HOST_IP \
+ --control-port=1234 \
+ --peer-cid=2
+
+ # host=client, guest=server
+ (guest)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=server \
+ --control-port=1234 \
+ --peer-cid=2
+ (host)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=client \
+ --control-port=$GUEST_IP \
+ --control-port=1234 \
+ --peer-cid=3
