* tcp: Remove broken pressure calculations for tcp_defer_handler()David Gibson2023-08-223-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_defer_handler() performs a potentially expensive linear scan of the connection table. So, to mitigate the cost of that we skip if if we're not under at least moderate pressure: either 30% of available connections or 30% (estimated) of available fds used. But, the calculation for this has been broken since it was introduced: we calculate "max_conns" based on c->tcp.conn_count, not TCP_MAX_CONNS, meaning we only exit early if conn_count is less than 30% of itself, i.e. never. If that calculation is "corrected" to be based on TCP_MAX_CONNS, it completely tanks the TCP CRR times for passt - from ~60ms to >1000ms on my laptop. My guess is that this is because in the case of many short lived connections, we're letting the table become much fuller before compacting it. That means that other places which perform a table scan now have to do much, much more. For the time being, simply remove the tests, since they're not doing anything useful. We can reintroduce them more carefully if we see a need for them. This also removes the only user of c->tcp.splice_conn_count, so that can be removed as well.

* tcp: Move in_epoll flag out of common connection structureDavid Gibson2023-08-223-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The in_epoll boolean is one of only two fields (currently) in the common structure shared between tap and spliced connections. It seems like it belongs there, because both tap and spliced connections use it, and it has roughly the same meaning. Roughly, however, isn't exactly: which fds this flag says are in the epoll varies between the two connection types, and are in type specific fields. So, it's only possible to meaningfully use this value locally in type specific code anyway. This common field is going to get in the way of more widespread generalisation of connection / flow tracking, so move it to separate fields in the tap and splice specific structures.

* tcp, udp: Don't pre-fill IPv4 destination address in headersDavid Gibson2023-08-228-32/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because packets sent on the tap interface will always be going to the guest/namespace, we more-or-less know what address they'll be going to. So we pre-fill this destination address in our header buffers for IPv4. We can't do the same for IPv6 because we could need either the global or link-local address for the guest. In future we're going to want more flexibility for the destination address, so this pre-filling will get in the way. Change the flow so we always fill in the IPv4 destination address for each packet, rather than prefilling it from proto_update_l2_buf(). In fact for TCP we already redundantly filled the destination for each packet anyway. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp, udp: Don't include destination address in partially precomputed csumsDavid Gibson2023-08-223-52/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We partially prepopulate IP and TCP header structures including, amongst other things the destination address, which for IPv4 is always the known address of the guest/namespace. We partially precompute both the IPv4 header checksum and the TCP checksum based on this. In future we're going to want more flexibility with controlling the destination for IPv4 (as we already do for IPv6), so this precomputed value gets in the way. Therefore remove the IPv4 destination from the precomputed checksum and fold it into the checksum update when we actually send a packet. Doing this means we no longer need to recompute those partial sums when the destination address changes ({tcp,udp}_update_l2_buf()) and instead the computation can be moved to compile time. This means while we perform slightly more computations on each packet, we slightly reduce the amount of memory we need to access.

* tcp: Consistent usage of ports in tcp_seq_init()David Gibson2023-08-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In tcp_seq_init() the meaning of "src" and "dst" isn't really clear since it's used for connections in both directions. However, these values are just feeding a hash, so as long as we're consistent and include all the information we want, it doesn't really matter. Oddly, for the "src" side we supply the (tap side) forwarding address but the (tap side) endpoint port. This again doesn't really matter, but it's confusing. So swap this with dstport, so "src" is always forwarding and "dst" is always endpoint. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: More precise terms for addresses and portsDavid Gibson2023-08-222-52/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a number of places the comments and variable names we use to describe addresses and ports are ambiguous. It's not sufficient to describe a port as "tap-facing" or "socket-facing", because on both the tap side and the socket side there are two ports for the two ends of the connection. Similarly, "local" and "remote" aren't particularly helpful, because it's not necessarily clear whether we're talking from the point of view of the guest/namespace, the host, or passt itself. This patch makes a number of changes to be more precise about this. It introduces two new terms in aid of this: A "forwarding" address (or port) refers to an address which is local from the point of view of passt itself. That is a source address for traffic sent by passt, whether it's to the guest via the tap interface or to a host on the internet via a socket. The "endpoint" address (or port) is the reverse: a remote address from passt's point of view, the destination address for traffic sent by passt. Between them the "side" (either tap/guest-facing or sock/host-facing) and forwarding vs. endpoint unambiguously describes which address or port we're talking about.

* tap: Pass source address to protocol handler functionsDavid Gibson2023-08-227-32/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | The tap code passes the IPv4 or IPv6 destination address of packets it receives to the protocol specific code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In tap6_handler() saddr is initialized to the IPv6 source address from the incoming packet. However part way through, but before organizing the packet into a "sequence" we set it unconditionally to the guest's assigned address. We don't do anything equivalent for IPv4. This doesn't make a lot of sense: if the guest is using a different source address it makes sense to consider these different sequences of packets and we shouldn't try to combine them together.

* selinux: Fix domain transitions for typical commands pasta might run2023_08_18.0af928eStefano Brivio2023-08-181-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...now it gets ugly. If we use pasta without an existing target namespace, and run commands directly or spawn a shell, and keep the pasta_t domain when we do, they won't be able to do much: a shell might even start, but it's not going to be usable, or to even display a prompt. Ideally, pasta should behave like a shell when it spawns a command: start as unconfined_t and automatically transition to whatever domain is associated in the specific policy for that command. But we can't run as unconfined_t, of course. It would seem natural to switch to unconfined_t "just before", so that the default transitions happen. But transitions can only happen when we execvp(), and that's one single transition -- not two. That is, this approach would work for: pasta -- sh -c 'ip address show' but not for: pasta -- ip address show If we configure a transition to unconfined_t when we run ip(8), we'll really try to start that as unconfined_t -- but unconfined_t isn't allowed as entrypoint for ip(8) itself, and execvp() will fail. However, there aren't many different types of binaries pasta might commonly run -- for example, we're unlikely to see pasta used to run a mount(8) command. Explicitly set up domain transition for common stuff -- switching to unconfined_t for bin_t and shells works just fine, ip(8), ping(8), arping(8) and similar need a different treatment. While at it, allow commands we spawn to inherit resource limits and signal masks, because that's what happens by default, and don't require AT_SECURE sanitisation of the environment (because that won't happen by default). Slightly unrelated: we also need to explicitly allow pasta_t to use TTYs, not just PTYs, otherwise we can't keep stdin and stdout open for shells. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

Add the new 'allow' rules. They appear to be backward compatible, kernel-wise, and the policy now requires the new 'user_namespace' class to build, but that's something distributions already ship.

* netlink: Don't propagate host address expiry to the containerDavid Gibson2023-08-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we copy addresses from the host to the container in nl_addr_dup(), we copy all the address's attributes, including IFA_CACHEINFO, which controls the address's lifetime. If the host address is managed by, for example, DHCP, it will typically have a finite lifetime. When we copy that lifetime to the pasta container, that lifetime will remain, meaning the kernel will eventually remove the address, typically some hours later. The container, however, won't have the DHCP client or whatever was managing and maintaining the address in the host, so it will just lose connectivity. Long term, we may want to monitor host address changes and reflect them to the guest. But for now, we just want to take a snapshot of the host's address and set those in the container permanently. We can accomplish that by stripping off the IFA_CACHEINFO attribute as we copy addresses.

RTM_PAYLOAD(), however is for RTM_NEWROUTE messages (struct rtmsg), not RTM_NEWADDR messages (struct ifaddrmsg). Consequently it miscalculates the size and means we can skip some attributes.

* conf: Demote overlapping port ranges error to a warningDavid Gibson2023-08-131-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We give a fatal error if the port ranges from any port forwarding specifiers overlap. This occurs even if those port ranges are specifically bound to different addresses, so there's not really any overlap. Right now, we can't 100% handle this case correctly, because our data structures don't have a way to represent per-address forwarding. However, there are a number of cases that will actually work just fine: e.g. mapping the same port to the same port on two different addresses (say :: and 127.0.0.1). We have long term plans to fix this properly, but that is still some time away. For the time being, demote this error to a warning so that the cases that already work will be allowed.

Therefore, give listening sockets their own epoll_type value and dispatch directly to their own handler from the top level. Furthermore, the two handlers need essentially entirely different information from the reference: we re-(ab)used the index field in the tcp_epoll_ref to indicate the port for the listening socket, but that's not the same meaning. So, switch listening sockets to their own reference type which we can lay out as we please. That lets us remove the listen and outbound fields from the normal (connected) tcp_epoll_ref, reducing it to just the connection table index.

However, for a few other things we use the 'fd' field in the standard union of types for that data field. This actually introduces a bug which is vanishingly unlikely to hit in practice, but very nasty if it ever did: theoretically if we had a very large file descriptor number for fd_tap or fd_tap_listen it could overflow into bits that overlap with the 'proto' field in epoll_ref. With some very bad luck this could mean that we mistakenly think an event on a regular socket is an event on fd_tap or fd_tap_listen. More practically, using different (but overlapping) fields of the epoll_data means we can't unify dispatch for the various different objects in the epoll. Therefore use the same epoll_ref as the data for the tap fds and the netns quit fd, adding new fd type values to describe them.

If we get any other event on the fd, we'll fall through to the "tap reset" path. But that won't do anything relevant to the listening socket, it will just close the already connected socket. Furthermore, the only other event we're subscribed to for the listening socket is EPOLLRDHUP, which doesn't apply to a non connected socket. Remove EPOLLRDHUP from the subscribed events. We don't need to explicitly add EPOLLERR, because errors are always reported. There's no obvious case that would cause an error on a listening socket anyway, and it's not obvious how we'd recover, treat it as a fatal error if it ever does happen.

So make a new tap_sock_reset() function just for this case, and simplify tap_sock_init() slightly as being used only for the first time case.

* netlink: Always process all responses to a netlink requestDavid Gibson2023-08-041-24/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A single netlink request can result in multiple response datagrams. We process multiple response datagrams in some circumstances, but there are cases where we exit early and will leave remaining datagrams in the queue. These will be flushed in nl_send() before we send another request. This is confusing, and not what we need to reliably check for errors from netlink operations. So, instead, make sure we always process all the response datagrams whenever we send a request (excepting fatal errors). In most cases this is just a matter of avoiding early exits from nl_foreach loops. nl_route_dup() is a bit trickier, because we need to retain all the routes we're going to try to copy in a single buffer. Here we instead use a secondary buffer to flush any remaining datagrams, and report an error if there are any additional routes in those datagrams .

* netlink: Propagate errors for "set" operationsDavid Gibson2023-08-043-24/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently if anything goes wrong while we're configuring the namespace network with --config-net, we'll just ignore it and carry on. This might lead to a silently unconfigured or misconfigured namespace environment. For simple "set" operations based on nl_do() we can now detect failures reported via netlink. Propagate those errors up to pasta_ns_conf() and report them usefully.

* netlink: Add nl_foreach_oftype to filter response message typesDavid Gibson2023-08-041-15/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In most cases where processing response messages, we expect only one type of message (excepting NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR), and so we need a test and continue to skip anything else. Add a helper macro to do this. This also fixes a bug in nl_get_ext_if() where we didn't have such a test and if we got a message other than RTM_NEWROUTE we would have parsed its contents as nonsense. Also add a warning message if we get such an unexpected message type, which could be useful for debugging if we ever hit it.

* netlink: Split nl_req() to allow processing multiple response datagramsDavid Gibson2023-08-041-68/+113
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently nl_req() sends the request, and receives a single response datagram which we then process. However, a single request can result in multiple response datagrams. That happens nearly all the time for DUMP requests, where the 'DONE' message usually comes in a second datagram after the NEW{LINK|ADDR|ROUTE} messages. It can also happen if there are just too many objects to dump in a single datagram. Allow our netlink code to process multiple response datagrams by splitting nl_req() into three different helpers: nl_send() just sends a request, without getting a response. nl_status() checks a single message to see if it indicates the end of the reponses for our request. nl_next() moves onto the next response message, whether it's in a datagram we already received or we need to recv() a new one. We also add a 'for'-style macro to use these to step through every response message to a request across multiple datagrams. While we're at it, be more thourough with checking that our sequence numbers are in sync.

* 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.
