* Separately locate external interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6David Gibson2022-07-307-80/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the back end allows passt/pasta to use different external interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6, use that to do the right thing in the case that the host has IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity via different interfaces. If the user hasn't explicitly chosen an interface, separately search for a suitable external interface for each protocol. As a bonus, this substantially simplifies the external interface probe. It also eliminates a subtle confusing case where in some circumstances we would pick the first interface in interface index order, and sometimes in order of routes returned from netlink. On some network configurations that could cause tests to fail, because the logic in the tests was subtly different (it always used route order).

* tests: Correct determination of host interface name in testsDavid Gibson2022-07-302-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, passt itself attaches to the first host interface with a default route. However, when determining the host interface name the tests implicitly select the *last* host interface: they use a jq expression which will list all interfaces with default routes, but the way output detection works in the scripts, it will only pick up the last line. If there are multiple interfaces with default routes on the host, and they each have a different address, this can cause spurious test failures.

* Allow different external interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 connectivityDavid Gibson2022-07-304-21/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's quite plausible for a host to have both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, but only via different interfaces. For example, this will happen in the case that IPv6 connectivity is via a tunnel (e.g. 6in4 or 6rd). It would also happen in the case that IPv4 access is via a tunnel on an otherwise IPv6 only local network, which is a setup that might become more common in the post IPv4 address exhaustion world. In turns out there's no real need for passt/pasta to get its IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity via the same interface, so we can handle this situation fairly easily. Change the core to allow eparate external interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6. We don't actually set these separately for now. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* test: Expand root partition of Debian sid amd64 and aarch64 imagesStefano Brivio2022-07-291-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of days ago, we started running out of space there as we're about to install gcc -- about 50 MiB are missing. Given that virt-resize (which could be conveniently invoked by the Makefile for tests) reorders partitions if we expand the first one, resize the image using qemu-img from the test script itself, and then take care of expanding root partition and filesystem online later. This is probably a temporary hack, so I'm not looking for a more generic or elegant solution at the moment. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* tests: No need to retrieve host ifname in ndp/pastaDavid Gibson2022-07-221-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | With pasta, the namespace interface name is generally the same as the host interface name. We already rely on this in the dhcp/pasta tests, but for no clear reason ndp/pasta separately determines the host interface name. Remove this unnecessary step.

* tests: Clean up better after iperf testsDavid Gibson2022-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The iperf based test commands create a bunch of .bw and .pid files for each iperf client and server. The server side .bw files are cleaned up afterwards, but the pid files are not, and none of the client side files are cleaned up. The latter doesn't really matter when the client is run on ephemeral guests, but sometimes we run it in a namespace that shares the filesystem with the host. Clean up all of these files after the tests. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* tests: Use dhclient --no-pid for namespaces in two_guests testsDavid Gibson2022-07-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Before starting the guests, these tests configure addresses in a pasta namespace using dhclient. However, because it's a user namespace, it's not running as "real" root and can't write to the dhclient pid file. This doesn't stop it working, but causes an ugly error message which we can avoid by using the --no-pid option. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* tests: Remove unnecessary truncation of temporary files in udp testsDavid Gibson2022-07-223-18/+0
| | | | | | | | | All the UDP tests use :> to truncate some temporary data files. This appears to be so that they're empty before writing data to them with tee. However tee, by default, truncates its output file anyway (you need tee -a to append). So drop the unnecessary truncations. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* tests: Remove unnecessary ^D in passt_in_ns teardownDavid Gibson2022-07-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | teardown_passt_in_ns() sends a ^D to the NS pane, which appears to be intended to terminate the nsenter running there, leaving the namespace. However, we've also sent a ^D to the PASST pane which will exit the pasta instance which created the namespace. With the namespace destroyed the nsenter in the NS pane will be killed, so it does not need to be exited explicitly. In fact sending the extra ^D can be harmful, since it will exit the shell in which the nsenter was run, causing the whole pane to be closed. That can then mean that the "pane_wait NS" hangs indefinitely. I believe this will sometimes work, because there's a race between the various options here, but it should be more reliable without the extra ^D.

* tests: Use socat instead of netcatDavid Gibson2022-07-2211-200/+200
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 41c02e10 ("tests: Use nmap-ncat instead of openbsd netcat for pasta tests") updated the pasta tests to use the nmap version of ncat instead of the openbsd version, for greater portability. For some upcoming changes, however, we'll be wanting to use socat. "socat" can do everything "ncat" can and more, so let's move all the tests using host tools (either directly on the host or via mbuto generated images) to using socat instead.

* tests: Fix creation of test file in udp passt testsDavid Gibson2022-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | In what looks like a copy-and-paste error from the TCP script, the udp/passt test script creates a test file called '__TEMP_BIG__', while the commands it use the variable __TEMP__.

* tests: Fix detection of empty 'hout' responses in passt{,_in_ns} testsDavid Gibson2022-07-221-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dhcp/passt and dhcp/passt_in_ns tests at least, and maybe others use 'hout' commands that need to be able to detect empty output. However, we don't set PS1, which means the screen-scraping logic which detects this may not be reliable. In addition, if the host is using a recent bash, it will have bracketed paste mode enabled which will also add escape codes which will mess up the empty output detection. Set the prompt and disable bracketed paste mode from the passt and passt_in_ns setups to avoid these problems. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* tests: Correctly handle domain search list in dhclient-scriptDavid Gibson2022-07-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently our small custom dhclient-script only handles the 'domain-name' option, which can just list a single domain, not the 'domain-search' option, which can handle several. Correct it to handle both. We also weren't emptying the resolv.conf file before we began, which could lead to surprising contents after multiple DHCP transactions.

* tests: Handle the case of a nameserver on host localhostDavid Gibson2022-07-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | We previously introduced a change to passt to handle the case where the host machine is its own nameserver - so resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1. In this case we advertize the gateway as the DNS server for the guest, which in turn will be redirected back to the host by existing passt logic. The dhcp/passt doesn't handle this case correctly, so add some logic to account for it. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* tests: More robust parsing of resolv.conf for DHCP testsDavid Gibson2022-07-221-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To check publishing of DNS information via DHCP, we need to extract a list of nameservers and/or search domains from resolv.conf in the test script. The current version (usually) leaves the result with a trailing ','. That's usually ok because it happens on both guest and host sides. However it's kind of confusing, and might stop working if the host had a resolv.conf without a trailing \n on the last line. It also makes some later changes we'll need more difficult. So, normalize the output from resolv.conf a bit further, removing any trailing ','. It turns out we can do this with a slightly less complex sed expression than the one we already have.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Modern Fedora (and RHEL) systems have /sbin as a symlink to /usr/sbin (along with a number of similar links). Along with that it expects to find dhclient-script in /usr/sbin/dhclient-script rather than /sbin/dhclient-script.

| | | | | | | | | | | | AFAICT the symlink we created in mbuto from /usr/bin/bash to /bin/sh was for the benefit of a dhclient-script which used /usr/bin/bash as its interpreter (e.g. in Fedora). That was a bit risky if the script really did require bash and we linked it to dash or another shell. We now supply our own custom dhclient-script, so we don't need the link any more.

Ranges and ports can be excluded from given ranges by adding them in the comma-separated list, prefixed by ~.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 675174d4ba25 ("conf, tap: Split netlink and pasta functions, allow interface configuration"), I broke the initial setting of the observed IPv6 addresses in two ways: - the size copied from the configured addresses corresponds to an IPv4 address, not to an IPv6 address - the observed link-local address is initialised to the configured unicast address, not the link-local one If we haven't seen the guest using some type of addresses yet, we should default to the configured values, hence these initial settings: fix both. This resulted in UDP flows to the guest from a unique local address on the network not working before the guest shows passt a valid address itself, as reported by Alona.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Fedora test file extracts some information from the host resolv.conf into a DNS6 variable which is then never used. Remove this unnecessary step, which is presumably a leftover from an earlier iteration. This was the only user of 'head' and 'sed' in the test file, so those can also be removed from the required tools. The debian and ubuntu test files also listed 'head' and 'sed' as tools, although they don't use them, I'm guessing because of an earlier version which had the same DNS6 code. Remove those as well. The opensuse test file still actually uses DNS6, so leave it there for now. The DNS handling and network config handling for SuSE looks to be kind of broken, but fixing that is a job for another day.

* tests: Prepare distro images during asset build phaseDavid Gibson2022-07-146-325/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before booting the guest images, the distro test cases need to modify the guest images, using virt-edit and guestfish, to boot in the way we need. At present this gets repeated on every test run, even though it's not really doing anything we want to test for. In addition many of the images have the same preparation steps leading to a lot of duplicated stages in the tests. A number of additional images can be prepared using common steps, even if the ones used now have small differences. Therefore move the preparation of most of the guest images to the asset build phase, where they can be done a single time for multiple test runs, using a common preparation script. We can even avoid making a copy of the disk image for booting, by using qemu's -snapshot option. A few of the distros (openSUSE and older Ubuntu) do need different steps. For now we don't chage how they are run, they could possibly be handled more like this in future. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently test/run uses wildcards to run all of the tests in a directory. However, that wildcard list is filtered down by the "onlyfor" directives in the test files... usually to a single file. Therefore, just explicitly list the files we *really* want to run for this test mode. This makes it easier to see at the top level what tests will be executed, and to change that list temporarily while debugging specific failures. This means the "onlyfor" directive no longer has any purpose, and we can remove it. "onlyfor" was also the only used of the $MODE variable, so we can remove that too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The top level listing control of which tests to run is in test/run, however it uses the test() function which runs an entire directory of test files, filtered by some criteria. This makes it awkward to narrow down to a subset of tests when debugging a specific failure. To make this easier, have test() take an explicit list of test files to run, and have the caller in test/run handle the directory traversal. The construct we use for this is pretty awkward to handle the fact that we're in the source tree root directory rather than test/ at this point in test/run. Later cleanups will improve that.

It turns out we only use this functionality in one place - to make the "make install" test run after the plain "make" test. We also already have a simpler way of making sure tests run in a specific order: just put them into the same test script file.

Unfortunately the EDK2 firmware image we need isn't in the same place on all host distros. Currently the test scripts hardcode the Debian location, meaning it will break on hosts that have it somewhere else. This patch searches multiple locations for the firmware, and creates a local link during the asset build phase, which the tests can then use. For now it only searches the locations used by Debian and Fedora, but that's a small improvement in robustness already, and can be later improved further if we need to.

* Invoke specific qemu-system-* binariesDavid Gibson2022-07-147-34/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of tests and examples invoke qemu with the command "kvm". However, as far as I can tell, "kvm" being aliased to the appropriate qemu system binary is Debian specific. The binary names from qemu upstream - qemu-system-$ARCH - also aren't universal, but they are more common (they should be good for both Debian and Fedora at least). In order to still get KVM acceleration when available, we use the option "-M accel=kvm:tcg" to tell qemu to try using either KVM or TCG in that order A number of the places we invoked "kvm" are expecting specifically an x86 guest, and so it's also safer to explicitly invoke qemu-system-x86_64. Some others appear to be independent of the target arch (just wanting the same arch as the host to allow KVM acceleration). Although I suspect there may be more subtle x86 specific options in the qemu command lines, attempt to preserve arch independence by using $(uname -m).

| | | | | | | | | | | | Several tests run pp64le guests using "qemu-system-ppc64le". But, at the system level there's no difference between ppc64 and ppc64le - it's the same hardware, just placed into different endian modes by OS early boot code. Reflecting that, qemu only supplies a single "qemu-system-ppc64". Some distros alias qemu-system-ppc64le to qemu-system-ppc64 (Debian does), but it's best not to count on this (Fedora doesn't, for example). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
