* Initialise our_tap_ll to ip6.gw when suitableDavid Gibson2024-08-211-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | In every place we use our_tap_ll, we only use it as a fallback if the IPv6 gateway address is not link-local. We can avoid that conditional at use time by doing it at initialisation of our_tap_ll instead.

* treewide: Change misleading 'addr_ll' nameDavid Gibson2024-08-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | c->ip6.addr_ll is not like c->ip6.addr. The latter is an address for the guest, but the former is an address for our use on the tap link. Rename it accordingly, to 'our_tap_ll'.

* treewide: Rename MAC address fields for clarityDavid Gibson2024-08-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | c->mac isn't a great name, because it doesn't say whose mac address it is and it's not necessarily obvious in all the contexts we use it. Since this is specifically the address that we (passt/pasta) use on the tap interface, rename it to "our_tap_mac". Rename the "mac_guest" field to "guest_mac" to be grammatically consistent.

* ndp.c: Turn NDP responder into more declarative implementationAbdAlRahman Gad2024-08-131-76/+241
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add structs for NA, RA, NS, MTU, prefix info, option header, link-layer address, RDNSS, DNSSL and link-layer for RA message. - Turn NA message from purely imperative, going byte by byte, to declarative by filling it's struct. - Turn part of RA message into declarative. - Move packet_add() to be before the call of ndp() in tap6_handler() if the protocol of the packet is ICMPv6. - Add a pool of packets as an additional parameter to ndp(). - Check the size of NS packet with packet_get() before sending an NA packet. - Add documentation for the structs. - Add an enum for NDP option types.

* treewide: Standardise variable names for various packet lengthsDavid Gibson2024-05-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At various points we need to track the lengths of a packet including or excluding various different sets of headers. We don't always use the same variable names for doing so. Worse in some places we use the same name for different things: e.g. tcp_fill_headers[46]() use ip_len for the length including the IP headers, but then tcp_send_flag() which calls it uses it to mean the IP payload length only. To improve clarity, standardise on these names: dlen: L4 protocol payload length ("data length") l4len: plen + length of L4 protocol header l3len: l4len + length of IPv4/IPv6 header l2len: l3len + length of L2 (ethernet) header Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* 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.

* conf, udp: Drop mostly duplicated dns_send arrays, rename related fieldsStefano Brivio2022-11-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Brivio2022-11-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* ndp: Use tap_icmp6_send() helperDavid Gibson2022-10-191-17/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | We send ICMPv6 packets to the guest from both icmp.c and from ndp.c. The case in ndp() manually constructs L2 and IPv6 headers, unlike the version in icmp.c which uses the tap_icmp6_send() helper from tap.c Now that we've broaded the parameters of tap_icmp6_send() we can use it in ndp() as well saving some duplicated logic.

* ndp: Remove unneeded eh_source parameterDavid Gibson2022-10-191-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ndp() takes a parameter giving the ethernet source address of the packet it is to respond to, which it uses to determine the destination address to send the reply packet to. This is not necessary, because the address will always be the guest's MAC address. Even if the guest has just changed MAC address, then either tap_handler_passt() or tap_handler_pasta() - which are the only call paths leading to ndp() will have updated c->mac_guest with the new value. So, remove the parameter, and just use c->mac_guest, making it more consistent with other paths where we construct packets to send inwards.

* 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.

For future flexibility, the new helper takes parameters for the fields in the IPv6 pseudo-header, so an IPv6 header or pseudo-header doesn't need to be explicitly constructed. It also allows the ICMPv6 header and payload to be in separate buffers, although we don't use this yet.

* treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checksStefano Brivio2022-03-291-34/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Brivio2022-02-211-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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%.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
