* passt: Align pkt_buf to PAGE_SIZE (start and size), try to fit in huge pagesStefano Brivio2021-09-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | If transparent huge pages are available, madvise() will do the trick. While at it, decrease EPOLL_EVENTS for the main loop from 10 to 8, for slightly better socket fairness. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* checksum: Introduce AVX2 implementation, unify helpersStefano Brivio2021-07-261-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide an AVX2-based function using compiler intrinsics for TCP/IP-style checksums. The load/unpack/add idea and implementation is largely based on code from BESS (the Berkeley Extensible Software Switch) licensed as 3-Clause BSD, with a number of modifications to further decrease pipeline stalls and to minimise cache pollution. This speeds up considerably data paths from sockets to tap interfaces, decreasing overhead for checksum computation, with 16-64KiB packet buffers, from approximately 11% to 7%. The rest is just syscalls at this point. While at it, provide convenience targets in the Makefile for avx2, avx2_debug, and debug targets -- these simply add target-specific CFLAGS to the build.

* passt: Add PASTA mode, major reworkStefano Brivio2021-07-171-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PASTA (Pack A Subtle Tap Abstraction) provides quasi-native host connectivity to an otherwise disconnected, unprivileged network and user namespace, similarly to slirp4netns. Given that the implementation is largely overlapping with PASST, no separate binary is built: 'pasta' (and 'passt4netns' for clarity) both link to 'passt', and the mode of operation is selected depending on how the binary is invoked. Usage example: $ unshare -rUn # echo $$ 1871759 $ ./pasta 1871759 # From another terminal # udhcpc -i pasta0 2>/dev/null # ping -c1 pasta.pizza PING pasta.pizza (64.190.62.111) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 64.190.62.111 (64.190.62.111): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=34.6 ms --- pasta.pizza ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 34.575/34.575/34.575/0.000 ms # ping -c1 spaghetti.pizza PING spaghetti.pizza(2606:4700:3034::6815:147a (2606:4700:3034::6815:147a)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2606:4700:3034::6815:147a (2606:4700:3034::6815:147a): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=29.0 ms --- spaghetti.pizza ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 28.967/28.967/28.967/0.000 ms This entails a major rework, especially with regard to the storage of tracked connections and to the semantics of epoll(7) references. Indexing TCP and UDP bindings merely by socket proved to be inflexible and unsuitable to handle different connection flows: pasta also provides Layer-2 to Layer-2 socket mapping between init and a separate namespace for local connections, using a pair of splice() system calls for TCP, and a recvmmsg()/sendmmsg() pair for UDP local bindings. For instance, building on the previous example: # ip link set dev lo up # iperf3 -s $ iperf3 -c ::1 -Z -w 32M -l 1024k -P2 | tail -n4 [SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 52.3 GBytes 44.9 Gbits/sec 283 sender [SUM] 0.00-10.43 sec 52.3 GBytes 43.1 Gbits/sec receiver iperf Done. epoll(7) references now include a generic part in order to demultiplex data to the relevant protocol handler, using 24 bits for the socket number, and an opaque portion reserved for usage by the single protocol handlers, in order to track sockets back to corresponding connections and bindings. A number of fixes pertaining to TCP state machine and congestion window handling are also included here. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt: Introduce packet capture implementationStefano Brivio2021-05-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | With -DDEBUG, passt now saves guest-side traffic captures in pcap format at /tmp/passt_<ISO8601 timestamp>.pcap. The timestamp refers to time and date of start-up. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* qrap: Find qemu command if not passed, patch command lineStefano Brivio2021-05-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It might be impractical to pass options to qrap when using libvirt, because the <emulator/> tag expects a path to an executable, without further arguments. If the first argument is not a plausible socket number, and the second argument is not a valid executable, look up a qemu command from a list of possible names, then start it patching the command line to include the -netdev fd= parameter corresponding to the AF_UNIX domain socket we just opened.

* passt: Introduce a DHCPv6 serverStefano Brivio2021-04-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This implementation, similarly to the IPv4 DHCP one, hands out a single address, which is the same as the upstream address for the host. This avoids the need for address translation as long as the client runs a DHCPv6 client. The NDP "Managed" flag is now set in Router Advertisements. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt: Introduce ICMP echo proxyStefano Brivio2021-03-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | It's nice to be able to confirm connectivity using ICMP or ICMPv6 echo requests, and "ping" sockets on Linux (IPPROTO_ICMP datagram) allow us to do that without any special capability. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Add siphash implementation for initial sequence numbersStefano Brivio2021-03-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement siphash routines for initial TCP sequence numbers (12 bytes input for IPv4, 36 bytes input for IPv6), and while at it, also functions we'll use later on for hash table indices and TCP timestamp offsets (with 8, 20, 32 bytes of input). Use these to set the initial sequence number, according to RFC 6528, for connections originating either from the tap device or from sockets. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt: New design and implementation with native Layer 4 socketsStefano Brivio2021-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a reimplementation, partially building on the earlier draft, that uses L4 sockets (SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM) instead of SOCK_RAW, providing L4-L2 translation functionality without requiring any security capability. Conceptually, this follows the design presented at: https://gitlab.com/abologna/kubevirt-and-kvm/-/blob/master/Networking.md The most significant novelty here comes from TCP and UDP translation layers. In particular, the TCP state and translation logic follows the intent of being minimalistic, without reimplementing a full TCP stack in either direction, and synchronising as much as possible the TCP dynamic and flows between guest and host kernel. Another important introduction concerns addressing, port translation and forwarding. The Layer 4 implementations now attempt to bind on all unbound ports, in order to forward connections in a transparent way. While at it: - the qemu 'tap' back-end can't be used as-is by qrap anymore, because of explicit checks now introduced in qemu to ensure that the corresponding file descriptor is actually a tap device. For this reason, qrap now operates on a 'socket' back-end type, accounting for and building the additional header reporting frame length - provide a demo script that sets up namespaces, addresses and routes, and starts the daemon. A virtual machine started in the network namespace, wrapped by qrap, will now directly interface with passt and communicate using Layer 4 sockets provided by the host kernel.

* merd: Switch to AF_UNIX for qemu tap, provide wrapperStefano Brivio2021-02-161-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | We can bypass a full-fledged network interface between qemu and merd by connecting the qemu tap file descriptor to a provided UNIX domain socket: this could be implemented in qemu eventually, qrap covers this meanwhile. This also avoids the need for the AF_PACKET socket towards the guest. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
