* fwd, conf: Probe host's ephemeral portsDavid Gibson2024-08-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we forward "all" ports (-t all or -u all), or use an exclude-only range, we don't actually forward *all* ports - that wouln't leave local ports to use for outgoing connections. Rather we forward all non-ephemeral ports - those that won't be used for outgoing connections or datagrams. Currently we assume the range of ephemeral ports is that recommended by RFC 6335, 49152-65535. However, that's not the range used by default on Linux, 32768-60999 but configurable with the net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range sysctl. We can't really know what range the guest will consider ephemeral, but if it differs too much from the host it's likely to cause problems we can't avoid anyway. So, using the host's ephemeral range is a better guess than using the RFC 6335 range. Therefore, add logic to probe the host's ephemeral range, falling back to the RFC 6335 range if that fails. This has the bonus advantage of reducing the number of ports bound by -t all -u all on most Linux machines thereby reducing kernel memory usage. Specifically this reduces kernel memory usage with -t all -u all from ~380MiB to ~289MiB.

* conf, fwd: Don't attempt to forward port 0David Gibson2024-08-291-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using -t all, -u all or exclude-only ranges, we'll attempt to forward all non-ephemeral port numbers, including port 0. However, this won't work as intended: bind() treats a zero port not as literal port 0, but as "pick a port for me". Because of the special meaning of port 0, we mostly outright exclude it in our handling. Do the same for setting up forwards, not attempting to forward for port 0.

* conf, fwd: Make ephemeral port logic more flexibleDavid Gibson2024-08-291-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Ephemeral" ports are those which the kernel may allocate as local port numbers for outgoing connections or datagrams. Because of that, they're generally not good choices for listening servers to bind to. Thefore when using -t all, -u all or exclude-only ranges, we map only non-ephemeral ports. Our logic for this is a bit rigid though: we assume the ephemeral ports are always a fixed range at the top of the port number space. We also assume PORT_EPHEMERAL_MIN is a multiple of 8, or we won't set the forward bitmap correctly. Make the logic in conf.c more flexible, using a helper moved into fwd.[ch], although we don't change which ports we consider ephemeral (yet). The new handling is undoubtedly more computationally expensive, but since it's a once-off operation at start off, I don't think it really matters.

* util: Don't stop on unrelated values when looking for --fd in close_open_files()Stefano Brivio2024-08-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seen with krun: we get a file descriptor via --fd, but we close it and happily use the same number for TCP files. The issue is that if we also get other options before --fd, with arguments, getopt_long() stops parsing them because it sees them as non-option values. Use the - modifier at the beginning of optstring (before :, which is needed to avoid printing errors) instead of +, which means we'll continue parsing after finding unrelated option values, but getopt_long() won't reorder them anyway: they'll be passed with option value '1', which we can ignore. By the way, we also need to add : after F in the optstring, so that we're able to parse the option when given as short name as well. Now that we change the parsing mode between close_open_files() and conf(), we need to reset optind to 0, not to 1, whenever we call getopt_long() again in conf(), so that the internal initialisation of getopt_long() evaluating GNU extensions is re-triggered.

* fwd, conf: Allow NAT of the guest's assigned addressDavid Gibson2024-08-211-17/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The guest is usually assigned one of the host's IP addresses. That means it can't access the host itself via its usual address. The --map-host-loopback option (enabled by default with the gateway address) allows the guest to contact the host. However, connections forwarded this way appear on the host to have originated from the loopback interface, which isn't always desirable. Add a new --map-guest-addr option, which acts similarly but forwarded connections will go to the host's external address, instead of loopback. If '-a' is used, so the guest's address is not the same as the host's, this will instead forward to whatever host-visible site is shadowed by the guest's assigned address.

* conf: Allow address remapped to host to be configuredDavid Gibson2024-08-211-2/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because the host and guest share the same IP address with passt/pasta, it's not possible for the guest to directly address the host. Therefore we allow packets from the guest going to a special "NAT to host" address to be redirected to the host, appearing there as though they have both source and destination address of loopback. Currently that special address is always the address of the default gateway (or none). That can be a problem if we want that gateway to be addressable by the guest. Therefore, allow the special "NAT to host" address to be overridden on the command line with a new --map-host-loopback option. In order to exercise and test it, update the passt_in_ns and perf tests to use this option and give different mapping addresses for the two layers of the environment.

* conf, fwd: Split notion of gateway/router from guest-visible host addressDavid Gibson2024-08-211-28/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The @gw fields in the ip4_ctx and ip6_ctx give the (host's) default gateway. We use this for two quite distinct things: advertising the gateway that the guest should use (via DHCP, NDP and/or --config-net) and for a limited form of NAT. So that the guest can access services on the host, we map the gateway address within the guest to the loopback address on the host. Using the gateway address for this isn't necessarily the best choice for this purpose, certainly not for all circumstances. So, start off by splitting the notion of these into two different values: @guest_gw which is the gateway address the guest should use and @nat_host_loopback, which is the guest visible address to remap to the host's loopback. Usually nat_host_loopback will have the same value as guest_gw. However when --no-map-gw is specified we leave them unspecified instead. This means when we use nat_host_loopback, we don't need to separately check c->no_map_gw to see if it's relevant.

* Don't take "our" MAC address from the hostDavid Gibson2024-08-211-34/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When sending frames to the guest over the tap link, we need a source MAC address. Currently we take that from the MAC address of the main interface on the host, but that doesn't actually make much sense: * We can't preserve the real MAC address of packets from anywhere external so there's no transparency case here * In fact, it's confusingly different from how we handle IP addresses: whereas we give the guest the same IP as the host, we're making the host's MAC the one MAC that the guest *can't* use for itself. * We already need a fallback case if the host doesn't have an Ethernet like MAC (e.g. if it's connected via a point to point interface, such as a wireguard VPN). Change to just just use an arbitrary fixed MAC address - I've picked 9a:55:9a:55:9a:55. It's simpler and has the small advantage of making the fact that passt/pasta is in use typically obvious from guest side packet dumps. This can still, of course, be overridden with the -M option.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although it's not 100% explicit in the man page, addresses given to the --dns option are intended to be addresses as seen by the guest. This differs from addresses taken from the host's /etc/resolv.conf, which must be translated to guest accessible versions in some cases. Our implementation is currently inconsistent on this: when using --dns-forward, you must usually also give --dns with the matching address, which is meaningful only in the guest's address view. However if you give --dns with a loopback addres, it will be translated like a host view address.

Given that parts of conf() depend on other files to be already opened, such as the epoll file descriptor, we can't easily defer this to a more convenient point, where --fd was already parsed. Introduce a minimal, duplicate version of --fd parsing to keep this simple. As we need to check that the passed --fd option doesn't exceed INT_MAX, because we'll parse it with strtol() but file descriptor indices are signed ints (regardless of the arguments close_range() take), extend the existing check in the actual --fd parsing in conf(), also rejecting file descriptors numbers that match standard streams, while at it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original behaviour of printing messages to standard error by default when running from a non-interactive terminal was introduced because the first KubeVirt integration draft used to start passt in foreground and get messages via standard error. For development purposes, the system logger was more convenient at that point, and passt was running from interactive terminals only if not started by the KubeVirt integration. This behaviour was introduced by 84a62b79a2bc ("passt: Also log to stderr, don't fork to background if not interactive"). Later, I added command-line options in 1e49d194d017 ("passt, pasta: Introduce command-line options and port re-mapping") and accidentally reversed this condition, which wasn't a problem as --stderr could force printing to standard error anyway (and it was used by KubeVirt). Nowadays, the KubeVirt integration uses a log file (requested via libvirt configuration), and the same applies for Podman if one actually needs to look at runtime logs. There are no use cases left, as far as I know, where passt runs in foreground in non-interactive terminals. Seize the chance to reintroduce some sanity here. If we fork to background, standard error is closed, so --stderr is useless in that case. If we run in foreground, there's no harm in printing messages to standard error, and that accidentally became the default behaviour anyway, so --stderr is not needed in that case. It would be needed for non-interactive terminals, but there are no use cases, and if there were, let's log to standard error anyway: the user can always redirect standard error to /dev/null if needed. Before we're up and running, we need to print to standard error anyway if something happens, otherwise we can't report failure to start in any kind of usage, stand-alone or in integrations. So, make --stderr do nothing, and deprecate it. While at it, drop a left-over comment about --foreground being the default only for interactive terminals, because it's not the case anymore.

| | | | | | | | | | | | If we don't run in foreground, we close standard error as we daemonise, so it makes no sense to check if the controlling terminal is an interactive terminal or if --force-stderr was given, to decide if we want to log to standard error.

* conf: Accept duplicate and conflicting options, the last one winsStefano Brivio2024-06-211-104/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In multiple occasions, especially when passt(1) and pasta(1) are used in integrations such as the one with Podman, the ability to override earlier options on the command line with later one would have been convenient. Recently, to debug a number of issues happening with Podman, I would have liked to ask users to share a debug log by passing --debug as additional option, but pasta refuses --quiet (always passed by Podman) and --debug at the same time. On top of this, Podman lets users specify other pasta options in its containers.conf(5) file, as well as on the command line. The options from the configuration files are appended together with the ones from the command line, which makes it impossible for users to override options from the configuration file, if duplicated options are refused, unless Podman takes care of sorting them, which is clearly not sustainable. For --debug and --trace, somebody took care of this on Podman side at: https://github.com/containers/common/pull/2052 but this doesn't fix the issue with other options, and we'll have anyway older versions of Podman around, too. I think there's some value in telling users about duplicated or conflicting options, because that might reveal issues in integrations or accidental misconfigurations, but by now I'm fairly convinced that the downsides outweigh this. Drop checks about duplicate options and mutually exclusive ones. In some cases, we need to also undo a couple of initialisations caused by earlier options, but this looks like a simplification, overall. Notable exception: --stderr still conflicts with --log-file, because users might have the expectation that they don't actually conflict. But they do conflict in the existing implementation, so it's safer to make sure that the users notice that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In conf() we parse a MAC address in two places, for the --ns-mac-addr and the -M options. As well as duplicating code, the logic for this parsing has several bugs: * The most serious is that if the given string is shorter than a MAC address should be, we'll access past the end of it. * We don't check the endptr supplied by strtol() which means we could ignore certain erroneous contents * We never check the separator characters between each octet * We ignore certain sorts of garbage that follow the MAC address Correct all these bugs in a new parse_mac() helper.

* conf: Don't print usage via the logging subsystemDavid Gibson2024-06-051-160/+166
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The message from usage() when given invalid options, or the -h / --help option is currently printed by many calls to the info() function, also used for runtime logging of informational messages. That isn't useful: the usage message should always go to the terminal (stdout or stderr), never syslog or a logfile. It should never be filtered by priority. Really the only thing using the common logging functions does is give more opportunities for something to go wrong. Replace all the info() calls with direct fprintf() calls. This does mean manually adding "\n" to each message. A little messy, but worth it for the simplicity in other dimensions. While we're there make much heavier use of single strings containing multiple lines of output text. That reduces the number of fprintf calls, reducing visual clutter and making it easier to see what the output will look like from the source.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since f919dc7a4b1c ("conf, netlink: Don't require a default route to start"), if there is only one host interface with routes, we will pick that as the template interface, even if there are no default routes for an IP version. Unfortunately this selection had a serious flaw: in some cases it would 'return' in the middle of an nl_foreach() loop, meaning we wouldn't consume all the netlink responses for our query. This could cause later netlink operations to fail as we read leftover responses from the aborted query. Rewrite the interface detection to avoid this problem. While we're there: * Perform detection of both default and non-default routes in a single pass, avoiding an ugly goto * Give more detail on error and working but unusual paths about the situation (no suitable interface, multiple possible candidates, etc.).
