* dhcp: Actually note down the length of options received by the clientStefano Brivio2023-09-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out we never used 'clen' until commit 1f24d3efb499 ("dhcp: support BOOTP clients"), and we always ignored option 55 (Parameter Request List), while, according to RFC 2132, we MUST try to insert the requested options in the order requested by the client. The commit mentioned above made this visible because now every client is reported as sending a DHCPREQUEST as an old BOOTP client, based on the lack of option 53 (that is, zero length).

Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility dilemmas.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given that we use just the first valid DNS resolver address configured, or read from resolv.conf(5) on the host, to forward DNS queries to, in case --dns-forward is used, we don't need to duplicate dns[] to dns_send[]: - rename dns_send[] back to dns[]: those are the resolvers we advertise to the guest/container - for forwarding purposes, instead of dns[], use a single field (for each protocol version): dns_host - and rename dns_fwd to dns_match, so that it's clear this is the address we are matching DNS queries against, to decide if they need to be forwarded Suggested-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* conf: Split the notions of read DNS addresses and offered onesStefano Brivio2022-11-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With --dns-forward, if the host has a loopback address configured as DNS server, we should actually use it to forward queries, but, if --no-map-gw is passed, we shouldn't offer the same address via DHCP, NDP and DHCPv6, because it's not going to be reachable. Problematic configuration: * systemd-resolved configuring the usual 127.0.0.53 on the host: we read that from /etc/resolv.conf * --dns-forward specified with an unrelated address, for example 198.51.100.1 We still want to forward queries to 127.0.0.53, if we receive one directed to 198.51.100.1, so we can't drop 127.0.0.53 from our list: we want to use it for forwarding. At the same time, we shouldn't offer 127.0.0.53 to the guest or container either. With this change, I'm only covering the case of automatically configured DNS servers from /etc/resolv.conf. We could extend this to addresses configured with command-line options, but I don't really see a likely use case at this point. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* Use typing to reduce chances of IPv4 endianness errorsDavid Gibson2022-11-041-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently corrected some errors handling the endianness of IPv4 addresses. These are very easy errors to make since although we mostly store them in network endianness, we sometimes need to manipulate them in host endianness. To reduce the chances of making such mistakes again, change to always using a (struct in_addr) instead of a bare in_addr_t or uint32_t to store network endian addresses. This makes it harder to accidentally do arithmetic or comparisons on such addresses as if they were host endian. We introduce a number of IN4_IS_ADDR_*() helpers to make it easier to directly work with struct in_addr values. This has the additional benefit of making the IPv4 and IPv6 paths more visually similar. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* Minor improvements to IPv4 netmask handlingDavid Gibson2022-11-041-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several minor problems with our parsing of IPv4 netmasks (-n). First, we don't reject nonsensical netmasks like 0.255.0.255. Address this structurally by using prefix length instead of netmask as the primary variable, only converting (and validating) when we need to. This has the added benefit of making some things more uniform with the IPv6 path. Second, when the user specifies a prefix length, we truncate the output from strtol() to an integer, which means we would treat -n 4294967320 as valid (equivalent to 24). Fix types to check for this.

* dhcp: Use tap_udp4_send() helper in dhcp()David Gibson2022-10-191-16/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The IPv4 specific dhcp() manually constructs L2 and IP headers to send its DHCP reply packet, unlike its IPv6 equivalent in dhcpv6.c which uses the tap_udp6_send() helper. Now that we've broaded the parameters to tap_udp4_send() we can use it in dhcp() to avoid some duplicated logic.

* tap: Remove unhelpeful vnet_pre optimization from tap_send()David Gibson2022-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Callers of tap_send() can optionally use a small optimization by adding extra space for the 4 byte length header used on the qemu socket interface. tap_ip_send() is currently the only user of this, but this is used only for "slow path" ICMP and DHCP packets, so there's not a lot of value to the optimization. Worse, having the two paths here complicates the interface and makes future cleanups difficult, so just remove it. I have some plans to bring back the optimization in a more general way in future, but for now it's just in the way.

* treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checksStefano Brivio2022-03-291-18/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a packet abstraction providing boundary and size checks based on packet descriptors: packets stored in a buffer can be queued into a pool (without storage of its own), and data can be retrieved referring to an index in the pool, specifying offset and length. Checks ensure data is not read outside the boundaries of buffer and descriptors, and that packets added to a pool are within the buffer range with valid offset and indices. This implies a wider rework: usage of the "queueing" part of the abstraction mostly affects tap_handler_{passt,pasta}() functions and their callees, while the "fetching" part affects all the guest or tap facing implementations: TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, NDP, DHCP and DHCPv6 handlers.

* conf, udp: Introduce basic DNS forwardingStefano Brivio2022-02-211-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For compatibility with libslirp/slirp4netns users: introduce a mechanism to map, in the UDP routines, an address facing guest or namespace to the first IPv4 or IPv6 address resulting from configuration as resolver. This can be enabled with the new --dns-forward option. This implies that sourcing and using DNS addresses and search lists, passed via command line or read from /etc/resolv.conf, is not bound anymore to DHCP/DHCPv6/NDP usage: for example, pasta users might just want to use addresses from /etc/resolv.conf as mapping target, while not passing DNS options via DHCP. Reflect this in all the involved code paths by differentiating DHCP/DHCPv6/NDP usage from DNS configuration per se, and in the new options --dhcp-dns, --dhcp-search for pasta, and --no-dhcp-dns, --no-dhcp-search for passt. This should be the last bit to enable substantial compatibility between slirp4netns.sh and slirp4netns(1): pass the --dns-forward option from the script too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Brivio2021-07-171-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: New design and implementation with native Layer 4 socketsStefano Brivio2021-02-161-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
