* tcp: Implement hash table with indices rather than pointersDavid Gibson2023-12-272-11/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We implement our hash table with pointers to the entry for each bucket (or NULL). However, the entries are always allocated within the flow table, meaning that a flow index will suffice, halving the size of the hash table. For TCP, just a flow index would be enough, but future uses will want to expand the hash table to cover indexing either side of a flow, so use a flow_sidx_t as the type for each hash bucket.

* tcp: Switch hash table to linear probing instead of chainingDavid Gibson2023-12-273-56/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we deal with hash collisions by letting a hash bucket contain multiple entries, forming a linked list using an index in the connection structure. That's a pretty standard and simple approach, but in our case we can use an even simpler one: linear probing. Here if a hash bucket is occupied we just move onto the next one until we find a feww one. This slightly simplifies lookup and more importantly saves some precious bytes in the connection structure by removing the need for a link. It does require some additional complexity for hash removal. This approach can perform poorly with hash table load is high. However, we already size our hash table of pointers larger than the connection table, which puts an upper bound on the load. It's relatively cheap to decrease that bound if we find we need to. I adapted the linear probing operations from Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3, 2nd Edition. Specifically Algorithm L and Algorithm R in Section 6.4.

* tcp: Fix conceptually incorrect byte-order switch in tcp_tap_handler()David Gibson2023-12-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_hash_lookup() expects the port numbers in host order, but the TCP header, of course, has them in network order, so we need to switch them. However we call htons() (host to network) instead of ntohs() (network to host). This works because those do the same thing in practice (they only wouldn't on very strange theoretical platforms which are neither big nor little endian). But, having this the "wrong" way around is misleading, so switch it around. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* test: Select first reported IPv6 address for guest/host comparisonStefano Brivio2023-12-275-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we run passt nested (a guest connected via passt to a guest connected via passt to the host), the first guest (L1) typically has two IPv6 addresses on the same interface: one formed from the prefix assigned via SLAAC, and another one assigned via DHCPv6 (to match the address on the host). When we select addresses for comparison, in this case, we have multiple global unicast addresses -- again, on the same interface. Selecting the first reported one on both host and guest is not entirely correct (in theory, the order might differ), but works reasonably well. Use the trick from 5beef085978e ("test: Only select a single interface or gateway in tests") to ask jq(1) for the first address returned by the query.

* ndp: Extend lifetime of prefix, router, RDNSS and search listStefano Brivio2023-12-271-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we have no mechanism to dynamically update IPv6 addressing, routing or DNS information (which should eventually be implemented via netlink monitor), so it makes no sense to limit lifetimes of NDP information to any particular value. If we do, with common configurations of systemd-networkd in a guest, we can end up in a situation where we have a /128 address assigned via DHCPv6, the NDP-assigned prefix expires, and the default route also expires. However, as there's a valid address, the prefix is not renewed. As a result, the default route becomes invalid and we lose it altogether, which implies that the guest loses IPv6 connectivity except for link-local communication. Set the router lifetime to the maximum allowed by RFC 8319, that is, 65535 seconds (about 18 hours). RFC 4861 limited this value to 9000 seconds, but RFC 8319 later updated this limit. Set prefix and DNS information lifetime to infinity. This is allowed by RFC 4861 and RFC 8319.

* test: Make handling of shell prompts with escapes a little more reliableDavid Gibson2023-12-071-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using the old-style "pane" methods of executing commands during the tests, we need to scan the shell output for prompts in order to tell when commands have finished. This is inherently unreliable because commands could output things that look like prompts, and prompts might not look like we expect them to. The only way to really fix this is to use a better way of dispatching commands, like the newer "context" system. However, it's awkward to convert everything to "context" right at the moment, so we're still relying on some tests that do work most of the time. It is, however, particularly sensitive to fancy coloured prompts using escape sequences. Currently we try to handle this by stripping actual ESC characters with tr, then looking for some common variants. We can do a bit better: instead strip all escape sequences using sed before looking for our prompt. Or, at least, any one using [a-zA-Z] as the terminating character. Strictly speaking ANSI escapes can be terminated by any character in 0x40..0x7e, which isn't easily expressed in a regexp. This should capture all common ones, though. With this transformation we can simplify the list of patterns we then look for as a prompt, removing some redundant variants.

* tcp: Don't defer hash table removal2023_12_04.b86afe3David Gibson2023-12-041-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a TCP connection is closed, we mark it by setting events to CLOSED, then some time later we do final cleanups: closing sockets, removing from the hash table and so forth. This does mean that when making a hash lookup we need to exclude any apparent matches that are CLOSED, since they represent a stale connection. This can happen in practice if one connection closes and a new one with the same endpoints is started shortly afterward. Checking for CLOSED is quite specific to TCP however, and won't work when we extend the hash table to more general flows. So, alter the code to immediately remove the connection from the hash table when CLOSED, although we still defer closing sockets and other cleanup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In test/prepare-distro-img.sh we use guestfish to tweak our distro guest images to be suitable. Part of this is using a 'copy-in' directive to copy in the source files for passt itself. Currently we copy in all the files with a single 'copy-in', since it allows listing multiple files. However it turns out that the number of arguments it can accept is fairly limited and our current list of files is already very close to that limit. Instead, expand our list of files to one copy-in per file, avoiding that limitation. This isn't much slower, because all the commands still run in a single invocation of guestfish itself.

* flow,tcp: Use epoll_ref type including flow and sideDavid Gibson2023-12-045-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently TCP uses the 'flow' epoll_ref field for both connected sockets and timers, which consists of just the index of the relevant flow (connection). This is just fine for timers, for while it obviously works, it's subtly incomplete for sockets on spliced connections. In that case we want to know which side of the connection the event is occurring on as well as which connection. At present, we deduce that information by looking at the actual fd, and comparing it to the fds of the sockets on each side. When we use the flow table for more things, we expect more cases where something will need to know a specific side of a specific flow for an event, but nothing more. Therefore add a new 'flowside' epoll_ref field, with exactly that information. We use it for TCP connected sockets. This allows us to directly know the side for spliced connections. For "tap" connections, it's pretty meaningless, since the side is always the socket side. It still makes logical sense though, and it may become important for future flow table work.

* tcp_splice: Use unsigned to represent sideDavid Gibson2023-12-041-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we use 'int' values to represent the "side" of a connection, which must always be 0 or 1. This turns out to be dangerous. In some cases we're going to want to put the side into a 1-bit bitfield. However, if that bitfield has type 'int', when we copy it out to a regular 'int' variable, it will be sign-extended and so have values 0 and -1, instead of 0 and 1. To avoid this, always use unsigned variables for the side. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* flow,tcp: Generalise TCP epoll_ref to generic flowsDavid Gibson2023-12-043-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP uses three different epoll object types: one for connected sockets, one for timers and one for listening sockets. Listening sockets really need information that's specific to TCP, so need their own epoll_ref field. Timers and connected sockets, however, only need the connection (flow) they're associated with. As we expand the use of the flow table, we expect that to be true for more epoll fds. So, rename the "TCP" epoll_ref field to be a "flow" epoll_ref field that can be used both for TCP and for other future cases.

* flow, tcp: Add logging helpers for connection related messagesDavid Gibson2023-12-044-79/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the messages logged by the TCP code (be they errors, debug or trace messages) are related to a specific connection / flow. We're fairly consistent about prefixing these with the type of connection and the connection / flow index. However there are a few places where we put the index later in the message or omit it entirely. The template with the prefix is also a little bulky to carry around for every message, particularly for spliced connections. To help keep this consistent, introduce some helpers to log messages linked to a specific flow. It takes the flow as a parameter and adds a uniform prefix to each message. This makes things slightly neater now, but more importantly will help keep formatting consistent as we add more things to the flow table.

They also define their own CONN() versions, which aren't so easily combined since they need to return different types, but we can have them use a common helper. In the process, we standardise on always using an unsigned type to store the connection / flow index, which makes more sense. tcp.c's conn_at_idx() remains for now, but we change its parameter to unsigned to match.

It was extended in C23 to make the message optional, but we don't want to require C23 at this time.

If we scan UDP ports in order to bind UDP ports, we skip detection of the UDP ports we already bound ourselves, to avoid looping back our own ports. Same with scanning and binding TCP ports. But if we scan for TCP ports in order to bind UDP ports, we need to skip bound TCP ports too, otherwise, as David pointed out: - we find a bound TCP port on side A, and bind the corresponding TCP and UDP ports on side B - at the next periodic scan, we find that UDP port bound on side B, and we bind the corresponding UDP port on side A - at this point, we unbind that UDP port on side B: we would otherwise loop back our own port. To fix this, we need to avoid binding UDP ports that we already bound, on the other side, as a consequence of finding a corresponding bound TCP port.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we plan to use valgrind, we need to build passt a bit differently: * We need debug symbols so that valgrind can match problems it finds to meaningful locations * We need to allow additional syscalls in the seccomp filter, because valgrind's wrappers need them Currently we also disable optimization (-O0). This is unfortunate, because it will make valgrind tests even slower than they'd otherwise be. Worse, it's possible that the asm behaviour without optimization might be different enough that valgrind could miss a use of uninitialized variable or other fault it would detect. I suspect this was originally done because without it inlining could mean that suppressions we use don't reliably match the places we want them to. Alas, it turns out this is true even with -O0. We've now implemented a more robust workaround for this (explicit ((noinline)) attributes when compiled with -DVALGRIND).

* valgrind: Adjust suppression for MSG_TRUNC with NULL bufferDavid Gibson2023-11-193-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | valgrind complains if we pass a NULL buffer to recv(), even if we use MSG_TRUNC, in which case it's actually safe. For a long time we've had a valgrind suppression for this. It singles out the recv() in tcp_sock_consume(), the only place we use MSG_TRUNC. However, tcp_sock_consume() only has a single caller, which makes it a prime candidate for inlining. If inlined, it won't appear on the stack and valgrind won't match the correct suppression. It appears that certain compiler versions (for example gcc-13.2.1 in Fedora 39) will inline this function even with the -O0 we use for valgrind builds. This breaks the suppression leading to a spurious failure in the tests. There's not really any way to adjust the suppression itself without making it overly broad (we don't want to match other recv() calls). So, as a hack explicitly prevent inlining of this function when we're making a valgrind build. To accomplish this add an explicit -DVALGRIND when making such a build.

* udp,pasta: Periodically scan for ports to automatically forwardDavid Gibson2023-11-192-2/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pasta supports automatic port forwarding, where we look for listening sockets in /proc/net (in both namespace and outside) and establish port forwarding to match. For TCP we do this scan both at initial startup, then periodically thereafter. For UDP however, we currently only scan at start. So unlike TCP we won't update forwarding to handle services that start after pasta has begun. There's no particular reason for that, other than that we didn't implement it. So, remove that difference, by scanning for new UDP forwards periodically too. The logic is basically identical to that for TCP, but it needs some changes to handle the mildly different data structures in the UDP case.

* clang-tidy: Suppress silly misc-include-cleaner warningsDavid Gibson2023-11-191-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clang-tidy from LLVM 17.0.3 (which is in Fedora 39) includes a new "misc-include-cleaner" warning that tries to make sure that headers *directly* provide the things that are used in the .c file. That sounds great in theory but is in practice unusable: Quite a few common things in the standard library are ultimately provided by OS-specific system headers, but for portability should be accessed via closer-to-standardised library headers. This will warn constantly about such cases: e.g. it will want you to include <linux/limits.h> instead of <limits.h> to get PATH_MAX. So, suppress this warning globally in the Makefile.

* tap, pasta: Handle short writes to /dev/tap2023_11_10.5ec3634David Gibson2023-11-101-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tap_send_frames_pasta() sends frames to the namespace by sending them to our the /dev/tap device. If that write() returns an error, we already handle it. However we don't handle the case where the write() returns short, meaning we haven't successfully transmitted the whole frame. I don't know if this can ever happen with the kernel tap device, but we should at least report the case so we don't get a cryptic failure. For the purposes of the return value for tap_send_frames_pasta() we treat this case as though it was an error (on the grounds that a partial frame is no use to the namespace).

* tap, pasta: Handle incomplete tap sends for pasta tooDavid Gibson2023-11-101-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since a469fc39 ("tcp, tap: Don't increase tap-side sequence counter for dropped frames") we've handled more gracefully the case where we get data from the socket side, but are temporarily unable to send it all to the tap side (e.g. due to full buffers). That code relies on tap_send_frames() returning the number of frames it successfully sent, which in turn gets it from tap_send_frames_passt() or tap_send_frames_pasta(). While tap_send_frames_passt() has returned that information since b62ed9ca ("tap: Don't pcap frames that didn't get sent"), tap_send_frames_pasta() always returns as though it succesfully sent every frame. However there certainly are cases where it will return early without sending all frames. Update it report that properly, so that the calling functions can handle it properly.

* tcp: Don't use TCP_WINDOW_CLAMPDavid Gibson2023-11-102-60/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the L2 tap side, we see TCP headers and know the TCP window that the ultimate receiver is advertising. In order to avoid unnecessary buffering within passt/pasta (or by the kernel on passt/pasta's behalf) we attempt to advertise that window back to the original sock-side sender using TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP. However, TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP just doesn't work like this. Prior to kernel commit 3aa7857fe1d7 ("tcp: enable mid stream window clamp"), it simply had no effect on established sockets. After that commit, it does affect established sockets but doesn't behave the way we need: * It appears to be designed only to shrink the window, not to allow it to re-expand. * More importantly, that commit has a serious bug where if the setsockopt() is made when the existing kernel advertised window for the socket happens to be zero, it will now become locked at zero, stopping any further data from being received on the socket. Since this has never worked as intended, simply remove it. It might be possible to re-implement the intended behaviour by manipulating SO_RCVBUF, so we leave a comment to that effect. This kernel bug is the underlying cause of both the linked passt bug and the linked podman bug. We attempted to fix this before with passt commit d3192f67 ("tcp: Force TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP before resetting STALLED flag"). However while that commit masked the bug for some cases, it didn't really address the problem.

* test/perf: Simplify calculation of "omit" time for TCP throughputDavid Gibson2023-11-072-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the TCP throughput tests, we use iperf3's -O "omit" option which ignores results for the given time at the beginning of the test. Currently we calculate this as 1/6th of the test measurement time. The purpose of -O, however, is to skip over the TCP slow start period, which in no way depends on the overall length of the test. The slow start time is roughly speaking log_2 ( max_window_size / MSS ) * round_trip_time These factors all vary between tests and machines we're running on, but we can estimate some reasonable bounds for them: * The maximum window size is bounded by the buffer sizes at each end, which shouldn't exceed 16MiB * The mss varies with the MTU we use, but the smallest we use in tests is ~256 bytes * Round trip time will vary with the system, but with these essentially local transfers it will typically be well under 1ms (on my laptop it is closer to 0.03ms) That gives a worst case slow start time of about 16ms. Setting an omit time of 0.1s uniformly is therefore more than enough, and substantially smaller than what we calculate now for the default case (10s / 6 ~= 1.7s). This reduces total time for the standard benchmark run by around 30s. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* test/perf: "MTU" changes in passt_tcp host to guest aren't usefulDavid Gibson2023-11-071-29/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TCP packet size used on the passt L2 link (qemu socket) makes a huge difference to passt/pasta throughput; many of passt's overheads (chiefly syscalls) are per-packet. That packet size is largely determined by the MTU on the L2 link, so we benchmark for a number of different MTUs. That works well for the guest to host transfers. For the host to guest transfers, we purport to test for different MTUs, but we're not actually adjusting anything interesting. The host to guest transfers adjust the MTU on the "host's" (actually ns) loopback interface. However, that only affects the packet size for the socket going to passt, not the packet size for the L2 link that passt manages - passt can and will repack the stream into packets of its own size. Since the depacketization on that socket is handled by the kernel it doesn't have a lot of bearing on passt's performance. We can't fix this by changing the L2 link MTU from the guest side (as we do for guest to host), because that would only change the guest's view of the MTU, passt would still think it has the large MTU. We could test this by using the --mtu option to passt, but that would require restarting passt for each run, which is awkward in the current setup. So, for now, drop all the "small MTU" tests for host to guest. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/perf: Explicitly control UDP packet length, instead of MTUDavid Gibson2023-11-072-94/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Packet size can make a big difference to UDP throughput, so it makes sense to measure it for a variety of different sizes. Currently we do this by adjusting the MTU on the relevant interface before running iperf3. However, the UDP packet size has no inherent connection to the MTU - it's controlled by the sender, and the MTU just affects whether the packet will make it through or be fragmented. The only reason adjusting the MTU works is because iperf3 bases its default packet size on the (path) MTU. We can test this more simply by using the -l option to the iperf3 client to directly control the packet size, instead of adjusting the MTU. As well as simplifying this lets us test different packet sizes for host to ns traffic. We couldn't do that previously because we don't have permission to change the MTU on the host.
