> The vsock core only supports 32bit CID, but the Virtio-vsock spec define
> CID (dst_cid and src_cid) as u64 and the upper 32bits is reserved as
> zero. This inconsistency causes one bug in vhost vsock driver. The
> scenarios is:
> 
>   0. A hash table (vhost_vsock_hash) is used to map an CID to a vsock
>   object. And hash_min() is used to compute the hash key. hash_min() is
>   defined as:
>   (sizeof(val) <= 4 ? hash_32(val, bits) : hash_long(val, bits)).
>   That means the hash algorithm has dependency on the size of macro
>   argument 'val'.
>   0. In function vhost_vsock_set_cid(), a 64bit CID is passed to
>   hash_min() to compute the hash key when inserting a vsock object into
>   the hash table.
>   0. In function vhost_vsock_get(), a 32bit CID is passed to hash_min()
>   to compute the hash key when looking up a vsock for an CID.
> 
> Because the different size of the CID, hash_min() returns different hash
> key, thus fails to look up the vsock object for an CID.
> 
> To fix this bug, we keep CID as u64 in the IOCTLs and virtio message
> headers, but explicitly convert u64 to u32 when deal with the hash table
> and vsock core.

Applied, thank you.
