[issue27584] New addition of vSockets to the python socket module

[Cathy Avery]

Cathy Avery added the comment:

Is there a format checker I could use on the patch?

VMCI and the vmw_vsock_vmci_transport kernel modules are located in the upstream linux tree at 

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

They have been there for about years. These drivers are part of various downstream kernels such as RHEL. You will need a Vmware virtual machine in order to test it. 

Only the virtio-vsock driver is a new vsock application that needs to be custom built.
