* icmp: Share more between IPv4 and IPv6 paths in icmp_tap_handler()David Gibson2024-01-221-68/+68
| | | | | | | | | | Currently icmp_tap_handler() consists of two almost disjoint paths for the IPv4 and IPv6 cases. The only thing they share is an error message. We can use some intermediate variables to refactor this to share some more code between those paths.

* icmp: Simplify socket expiry scanningDavid Gibson2024-01-222-33/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we use icmp_act[] to scan for ICMP ids which might have an open socket which could time out. However icmp_act[] contains no information that's not already in icmp_id_map[] - it's just an "index" which allows scanning for relevant entries with less cache footprint. We only scan for ICMP socket expiry every 1s, though, so it's not clear that cache footprint really matters. Furthermore, there's no strong reason we need to scan even that often - the timeout is fairly arbitrary and approximate. So, eliminate icmp_act[] in favour of directly scanning icmp_id_map[] and compensate for the cache impact by reducing the scan frequency to once every 10s.

* icmp: Use -1 to represent "missing" socketsDavid Gibson2024-01-221-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | icmp_id_map[] contains, amongst other things, fds for "ping" sockets associated with various ICMP echo ids. However, we only lazily open() those sockets, so many will be missing. We currently represent that with a 0, which isn't great, since that's technically a valid fd. Use -1 instead. This does require initializing the fields in icmp_id_map[] but we already have an obvious place to do that.

* icmp: Don't attempt to match host IDs to guest IDsDavid Gibson2024-01-221-12/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When forwarding pings from tap, currently we create a ping socket with a socket address whose port is set to the ID of the ping received from the guest. This causes the socket to send pings with the same ID on the host. Although this seems look a good idea for maximum transparency, it's probably unwise. First, it's fallible - the bind() could fail, and we already have fallback logic which will overwrite the packets with the expected guest id if the id we get on replies doesn't already match. We might as well do that unconditionally. But more importantly, we don't know what else on the host might be using ping sockets, so we could end up with an ID that's the same as an existing socket. You'd expect that to fail the bind() with EADDRINUSE, which would be fine: we'd fall back to rewriting the reply ids. However it appears the kernel (v6.6.3 at least), does *not* fail the bind() and instead it's "last socket wins" in terms of who gets the replies. So we could accidentally intercept ping replies for something else on the host. So, instead of using bind() to set the id, just let the kernel pick one and expect to translate the replies back. Although theoretically this makes the passt/pasta link a bit less "transparent", essentially nothing cares about specific ping IDs, much like TCP source ports, which we also don't preserve.

* icmp: Don't attempt to handle "wrong direction" ping socket trafficDavid Gibson2024-01-221-10/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux ICMP "ping" sockets are very specific in what they do. They let userspace send ping requests (ICMP_ECHO or ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST), and receive matching replies (ICMP_ECHOREPLY or ICMP6_ECHO_REPLY). They don't let you intercept or handle incoming ping requests. In the case of passt/pasta that means we can process echo requests from tap and forward them to a ping socket, then take the replies from the ping socket and forward them to tap. We can't do the reverse: take echo requests from the host and somehow forward them to the guest. There's really no way for something outside to initiate a ping to a passt/pasta connected guest and if there was we'd need an entirely different mechanism to handle it. However, we have some logic to deal with packets going in that reverse direction. Remove it, since it can't ever be used that way. While we're there use defines for the ICMPv6 types, instead of open coded type values. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* icmp: Remove redundant initialisation of sendto() addressDavid Gibson2024-01-221-2/+0

* icmp: Don't set "port" on destination sockaddr for ping socketsDavid Gibson2024-01-221-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We set the port to the ICMP id on the sendto() address when using ICMP ping sockets. However, this has no effect: the ICMP id the kernel uses is determined only by the "port" on the socket's *bound* address (which is constructed inside sock_l4(), using the id we also pass to it). For unclear reasons this change triggers cppcheck 2.13.0 to give new "variable could be const pointer" warnings, so make *ih const as well to fix that.

* flow: Avoid moving flow entries to compact tableDavid Gibson2024-01-227-87/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we always keep the flow table maximally compact: that is all the active entries are contiguous at the start of the table. Doing this sometimes requires moving an entry when one is freed. That's kind of fiddly, and potentially expensive: it requires updating the hash table for the new location, and depending on flow type, it may require EPOLL_CTL_MOD, system calls to update epoll tags with the new location too. Implement a new way of managing the flow table that doesn't ever move entries. It attempts to maintain some compactness by always using the first free slot for a new connection, and mitigates the effect of non compactness by cheaply skipping over contiguous blocks of free entries. See the "theory of operation" comment in flow.c for details.

* flow: Enforce that freeing of closed flows must happen in deferred handlersDavid Gibson2024-01-225-15/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, flows are only evern finally freed (and the table compacted) from the deferred handlers. Some future ways we want to optimise managing the flow table will rely on this, so enforce it: rather than having the TCP code directly call flow_table_compact(), add a boolean return value to the per-flow deferred handlers. If true, this indicates that the flow code itself should free the flow. This forces all freeing of flows to occur during the flow code's scan of the table in flow_defer_handler() which opens possibilities for future optimisations.

* flow: Abstract allocation of new flows with helper functionDavid Gibson2024-01-223-11/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently tcp.c open codes the process of allocating a new flow from the flow table: twice, in fact, once for guest to host and once for host to guest connections. This duplication isn't ideal and will get worse as we add more protocols to the flow table. It also makes it harder to experiment with different ways of handling flow table allocation. Instead, introduce a function to allocate a new flow: flow_alloc(). In some cases we currently check if we're able to allocate, but delay the actual allocation. We now handle that slightly differently with a flow_alloc_cancel() function to back out a recent allocation. We have that separate from a flow_free() function, because future changes we have in mind will need to handle this case a little differently.

* flow: Move flow_count from context structure to a globalDavid Gibson2024-01-227-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In general, the passt code is a bit haphazard about what's a true global variable and what's in the quasi-global 'context structure'. The flow_count field is one such example: it's in the context structure, although it's really part of the same data structure as flowtab[], which is a genuine global. Move flow_count to be a regular global to match. For now it needs to be public, rather than static, but we expect to be able to change that in future.

* tcp, tcp_splice: Avoid double layered dispatch for connected TCP socketsDavid Gibson2024-01-225-39/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently connected TCP sockets have the same epoll type, whether they're for a "tap" connection or a spliced connection. This means that tcp_sock_handler() has to do a secondary check on the type of the connection to call the right function.

* flow, tcp: Add handling for per-flow timersDavid Gibson2024-01-224-12/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_timer() scans the flow table so that it can run tcp_splice_timer() on each spliced connection. More generally, other flow types might want to run similar timers in future. We could add a flow_timer() analagous to tcp_timer(), udp_timer() etc. However, this would need to scan the flow table, which we would have just done in flow_defer_handler(). We'd prefer to just scan the flow table once, dispatching both per-flow deferred events and per-flow timed events if necessary. So, extend flow_defer_handler() to do this. For now we use the same timer interval for all flow types (1s). We can make that more flexible in future if we need to.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_defer_handler(), amongst other things, scans the flow table and does some processing for each TCP connection. When we add other protocols to the flow table, they're likely to want some similar scanning. It makes more sense for cache friendliness to perform a single scan of the flow table and dispatch to the protocol specific handlers, rather than having each protocol separately scan the table.

* tcp, tcp_splice: Remove redundant handling from tcp_timer()David Gibson2024-01-223-19/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_timer() scans the connection table, expiring "tap" connections and calling tcp_splice_timer() for "splice" connections. tcp_splice_timer() expires spliced connections and then does some other processing. However, tcp_timer() is always called shortly after tcp_defer_handler() (from post_handler()), which also scans the flow table expiring both tap and spliced connections. So remove the redundant handling, and only do the extra tcp_splice_timer() work from tcp_timer().

* flow: Make flow_table.h #include the protocol specific headers it needsDavid Gibson2024-01-224-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flow_table.h, the lower level flow header relies on having the struct definitions for every protocol specific flow type - so far that means tcp_conn.h. It doesn't include it itself, so tcp_conn.h must be included before flow_table.h. That's ok for now, but as we use the flow table for more things, flow_table.h will need the structs for all of them, which means the protocol specific .c files would need to include tcp_conn.h _and_ the equivalents for every other flow type before flow_table.h every time, which is weird. So, although we *mostly* lean towards the include style where .c files need to handle the include dependencies, in this case it makes more sense to have flow_table.h include all the protocol specific headers it needs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | f0ccca74 ("test: make passt.mbuto script more robust") is supposed to make mbuto more robust by standardizing on always putting things in /usr/sbin with /sbin a symlink to it. This matters because different distros have different conventions about how the two are used. However, the logic there requires that /usr/sbin at least exists to start with. This isn't always the case with Fedora derived mbuto images. Ironically the DIRS variable ensures that /sbin exists, although we then remove it, but doesn't require /usr/sbin to exist.

* netlink: Fetch most specific (longest prefix) address in nl_addr_get()2023_12_30.f091893Stefano Brivio2023-12-301-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This happened in most cases implicitly before commit eff3bcb24547 ("netlink: Split nl_addr() into separate operation functions"): while going through results from netlink, we would only copy an address into the provided return buffer if no address had been picked yet. Because of the insertion logic in the kernel (ipv6_link_dev_addr()), the first returned address would also be the one added last, and, in case of a Linux guest using a DHCPv6 client as well as SLAAC, that would be the address assigned via DHCPv6, because SLAAC happens before the DHCPv6 exchange. The effect of, instead, picking the last returned address (first assigned) is visible when passt or pasta runs nested, given that, by default, they advertise a prefix for SLAAC usage, plus an address via DHCPv6. The first level (L1 guest) would get a /64 address by means of SLAAC, and a /128 address via DHCPv6, the latter matching the address on the host. The second level (L2 guest) would also get two addresses: a /64 via SLAAC (same prefix as the host), and a /128 via DHCPv6, matching the the L1 SLAAC-assigned address, not the one obtained via DHCPv6. That is, none of the L2 addresses would match the address on the host. The whole point of having a DHCPv6 server is to avoid (implicit) NAT when possible, though. Fix this in a more explicit way than the behaviour we initially had: pick the first address among the set of most specific ones, by comparing prefix lengths. Do this for IPv4 and for link-local addresses, too, to match in any case the implementation of the default source address selection.

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.
