* netlink: Clearer reasoning about the netlink response buffer sizeDavid Gibson2023-08-041-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we set NLBUFSIZ large enough for 8192 netlink headers (128kiB in total), and reference netlink(7). However netlink(7) says nothing about reponse buffer sizes, and the documents which do reference 8192 *bytes* not 8192 headers. Update NLBUFSIZ to 64kiB with a more detailed rationale.

* netlink: Add nl_do() helper for simple operations with error checkingDavid Gibson2023-08-041-12/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far we never checked for errors reported on netlink operations via NLMSG_ERROR messages. This has led to several subtle and tricky to debug situations which would have been obvious if we knew that certain netlink operations had failed. Introduce a nl_do() helper that performs netlink "do" operations (that is making a single change without retreiving complex information) with much more thorough error checking. As well as returning an error code if we get an NLMSG_ERROR message, we also check for unexpected behaviour in several places. That way if we've made a mistake in our assumptions about how netlink works it should result in a clear error rather than some subtle misbehaviour. We update those calls to nl_req() that can use the new wrapper to do so. We will extend those to better handle errors in future. We don't touch non-"do" operations for now, those are a bit trickier.

* netlink: Fill in netlink header fields from nl_req()David Gibson2023-08-041-84/+42
| | | | | | | | | | Currently netlink functions need to fill in a full netlink header, as well as a payload then call nl_req() to submit that to the kernel. It makes things a bit terser if we just give the relevant header fields as parameters to nl_req() and have it complete the header.

* netlink: Treat send() or recv() errors as fatalDavid Gibson2023-08-041-19/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Errors on send() or recv() calls on a netlink socket don't indicate errors with the netlink operations we're attempting, but rather that something's gone wrong with the mechanics of netlink itself. We don't really expect this to ever happen, and if it does, it's not clear what we could to to recover. So, treat errors from these calls as fatal, rather than returning the error up the stack. This makes handling failures in the callers of nl_req() simpler. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* netlink: Start sequence number from 1 instead of 0David Gibson2023-08-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netlink messages have a sequence number that's used to match requests to responses. It mostly doesn't matter what it is as long as it monotonically increases, so we just use a global counter which we advance with each request. However, we start this counter at 0, so our very first request has sequence number 0, which is usually reserved for asynchronous messages from the kernel which aren't in response to a specific request. Since we don't (for now) use such async messages, this doesn't really matter, but it's not good practce. So start the sequence at 1 instead.

* netlink: Make nl_*_dup() use a separate datagram for each requestDavid Gibson2023-08-041-23/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nl_req() is designed to handle a single netlink request message: it only receives a single reply datagram for the request, and only waits for a single NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR message at the beginning to clear out things from previous requests. However, in both nl_addr_dup() and nl_route_dup() we can send multiple request messages as a single datagram, with a single nl_req() call. This can easily mean that the replies nl_req() collects get out of sync with requests. We only get away with this because after we call these functions we don't make any netlink calls where we need to parse the replies. This is fragile, so alter nl_*_dup() to make an nl_req() call for each address it is adding in the target namespace. For nl_route_dup() this fixes an additional minor problem: because routes can have dependencies, some of the route add requests might fail on the first attempt, so we need to repeat the requests a number of times. When we did that, we weren't updating the sequence number on each new attempt. This works, but not updating the sequence number for each new request isn't ideal. Now that we're making the requests one at a time, it's easier to make sure we update the sequence number each time.

* netlink: Explicitly pass netlink sockets to operationsDavid Gibson2023-08-044-76/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | All the netlink operations currently implicitly use one of the two global netlink sockets, sometimes depending on an 'ns' parameter. Change them all to explicitly take the socket to use (or two sockets to use in the case of the *_dup() functions). As well as making these functions strictly more general, it makes the callers easier to follow because we're passing a socket variable with a name rather than an unexplained '0' or '1' for the ns parameter.

* netlink: Split up functionality of nl_link()David Gibson2023-08-044-66/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC address and MTU and also retrieve the existing MAC. This makes for a small number of lines of code, but high conceptual complexity: it's quite hard to follow what's going on both in nl_link() itself and it's also not very obvious which function its callers are intending to use. Clarify this, by splitting nl_link() into nl_link_up(), nl_link_set_mac(), and nl_link_get_mac(). The first brings up a link, optionally setting the MTU, the others get or set the MAC address. This fixes an arguable bug in pasta_ns_conf(): it looks as though that was intended to retrieve the guest MAC whether or not c->pasta_conf_ns is set. However, it only actually does so in the !c->pasta_conf_ns case: the fact that we set up==1 means we would only ever set, never get, the MAC in the nl_link() call in the other path. We get away with this because the MAC will quickly be discovered once we receive packets on the tap interface. Still, it's neater to always get the MAC address here.

* tap: Remove unnecessary global tun_ns_fdDavid Gibson2023-08-041-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tap_ns_tun(), which runs in an ephemeral thread puts the fd it opens into the global variable tun_ns_fd to communicate it back to the main thread in tap_sock_tun_init(). However, the only thing tap_sock_tun_init() does with it is copies it to c->fd_tap and everything else uses it from there. tap_ns_tun() already has access to the context structure, so we might as well store the value directly in there rather than having a global as an intermediate.

Add more detailed error reporting to the various failure points. At the same time, we know this is only called from tap_sock_tun_init() which will terminate pasta if we fail, so we can simplify things a little because we don't need to close() the fd on the failure paths.

* util: Make ns_enter() a void function and report setns() errorsDavid Gibson2023-08-045-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ns_enter() returns an integer... but it's always zero. If we actually fail the function doesn't return. Therefore it makes more sense for this to be a function returning void, and we can remove the cases where we pointlessly checked its return value. In addition ns_enter() is usually called from an ephemeral thread created by NS_CALL(). That means that the exit(EXIT_FAILURE) there usually won't be reported (since NS_CALL() doesn't wait() for the thread). So, use die() instead to print out some information in the unlikely event that our setns() here does fail.

* tap: Explicitly drop IPv4 fragments, and give a warningDavid Gibson2023-07-071-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't handle defragmentation of IP packets coming from the tap side, and we're unlikely to any time soon (with our large MTU, it's not useful for practical use cases). Currently, however, we simply ignore the fragmentation flags and treat fragments as though they were whole IP packets. This isn't ideal and can lead to rather cryptic behaviour if we do receive IP fragments. Change the code to explicitly drop fragmented packets, and print a rate limited warning if we do encounter them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When interface names are specified in forwarding specs, we need to check the length of the given interface name against the limit of IFNAMSIZ - 1 (15) characters. However, we managed to have 3 separate off-by-one errors here meaning we only accepted interface names up to 12 characters. 1. At the point of the check 'ifname' was still on the '%' character, not the first character of the name, meaning we overestimated the length by one 2. At the point of the check 'spec' had been advanced one character past the '/' which terminates the interface name, meaning we overestimated the length by another one 3. We checked if the (miscalculated) length was >= IFNAMSIZ - 1, that is >= 15, whereas lengths equal to 15 should be accepted. Correct all 3 errors.

* conf: Fix size checking of -I interface nameDavid Gibson2023-06-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network interface names must fit in a buffer of IFNAMSIZ bytes, including the terminating \0. IFNAMSIZ is 16 on Linux, so interface names can be up to (and including) 15 characters long. We validate this for the -I option, but we have an off by one error. We pass (IFNAMSIZ - 1) as the buffer size to snprintf(), but that buffer size already includes the terminating \0, so this actually truncates the value to 14 characters. The return value returned from snprintf() however, is the number of characters that would have been printed *excluding* the terminating \0, so by comparing it >= IFNAMSIZ - 1 we are giving an error on names >= 15 characters rather than strictly > 15 characters.

Unfortunately when we introduced this option a bug was introduced so that we always use the interface index for the host side, rather than the one for the pasta namespace. Really, the entire interface to nl_addr() and nl_route() is pretty bad: it's tightly coupled with the use cases of its callers. This is a minimal fix which doesn't address that, but also doesn't make it significantly worse.

Same for addresses from a mismatching address (pre-4.19 kernels without support for NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK).

Continue, if we have a default route but no default gateway, and imply --no-map-gw and --no-dhcp in that case. NDP responder and DHCPv6 should be able to work as usual because we require a link-local address to be present, and we'll fall back to that.

* conf, pasta: With --config-net, copy all routes by defaultStefano Brivio2023-05-234-3/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the newly-introduced NL_DUP mode for nl_route() to copy all the routes associated to the template interface in the outer namespace, unless --no-copy-routes (also implied by -g) is given. This option is introduced as deprecated right away: it's not expected to be of any use, but it's helpful to keep it around for a while to debug any suspected issue with this change. Otherwise, we can't use default gateways which are not, address-wise, on the same subnet as the container, as reported by Callum.

* netlink: Add functionality to copy routes from outer namespaceStefano Brivio2023-05-234-22/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of just fetching the default gateway and configuring a single equivalent route in the target namespace, on 'pasta --config-net', it might be desirable in some cases to copy the whole set of routes corresponding to a given output interface. For instance, in: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/18539 IPv4 Default Route Does Not Propagate to Pasta Containers on Hetzner VPSes configuring the default gateway won't work without a gateway-less route (specifying the output interface only), because the default gateway is, somewhat dubiously, not on the same subnet as the container. This is a similar case to the one covered by commit 7656a6f88882 ("conf: Adjust netmask on mismatch between IPv4 address/netmask and gateway"), and I'm not exactly proud of that workaround. We also have: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=49 pasta does not work with tap-style interface for which, eventually, we should be able to configure a gateway-less route in the target namespace. Introduce different operation modes for nl_route(), including a new NL_DUP one, not exposed yet, which simply parrots back to the kernel the route dump for a given interface from the outer namespace, fixing up flags and interface indices on the way, and requesting to add the same routes in the target namespace, on the interface we manage. For n routes we want to duplicate, send n identical netlink requests including the full dump: routes might depend on each other and the kernel processes RTM_NEWROUTE messages sequentially, not atomically, and repeating the full dump naturally resolves dependencies without the need to actually calculate them. I'm not kidding, it actually works pretty well.

* pasta: Improve error handling on failure to join network namespaceStefano Brivio2023-05-231-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pasta_wait_for_ns(), open() failing with ENOENT is expected: we're busy-looping until the network namespace appears. But any other failure is not something we're going to recover from: return right away if we don't get either success or ENOENT. Now that pasta_wait_for_ns() can actually fail, handle that in pasta_start_ns() by reporting the issue and exiting. Looping on EPERM, when pasta doesn't actually have the permissions to join a given namespace, isn't exactly a productive thing to do. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* pasta: Detach mount namespace, (re)mount procfs before spawning commandStefano Brivio2023-05-231-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we want /proc contents to be consistent after pasta spawns a child process in a new PID namespace (only for operation without a pre-existing namespace), we need to mount /proc after the clone(2) call with CLONE_NEWPID, and we enable the child to do that by passing, in the same call, the CLONE_NEWNS flag, as described by pid_namespaces(7). This is not really a remount: in fact, passing MS_REMOUNT to mount(2) would make the call fail. We're in another mount namespace now, so it's a fresh mount that has the effect of hiding the existing one.

* tap: Don't update ip6.addr_seen to ::David Gibson2023-05-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we receive packets from the tap side, we update the addr_seen fields to reflect the last known address of the guest or ns. For ip4.addr_seen we, sensibly, only update if the address we've just seen isn't 0 (0.0.0.0). This case can occur during early DHCP transactions. We have no equivalent case for IPv6. We're less likely to hit this, because DHCPv6 uses link-local addresses, however we can see an source address of :: with certain multicast operations. This can bite us if we try to make an incoming connection very early after starting pasta with --config-net: we may have only seen some of those multicast packets, updated addr_seen to :: and not had any "real" packets to update it to a global address. I've seen this with some of the avocado test conversions. In any case, it can never make sense to update addr_seen to ::, so explicitly exclude that case.
