...not just for a single set address (legacy operation with
--no-copy-addrs). I forgot to add this to nl_addr_dup().
Note that we can have two version of flags: the 8-bit ifa_flags in
ifaddrmsg, and the newer 32-bit version as IFA_FLAGS attribute, which
is given priority if present. Make sure IFA_F_NODAD is set in both.
Without this, a Podman user reports, something on the lines of:
pasta --config-net -- ping -c1 -6 passt.top
would fail as the kernel would start Duplicate Address Detection
once we configure the address, which can't really work (and doesn't
make sense) in this case.

See the comment to the unnamed enum in linux/if_addr.h, which
currently states:
/*
* Important comment:
* IFA_ADDRESS is prefix address, rather than local interface address.
* It makes no difference for normally configured broadcast interfaces,
* but for point-to-point IFA_ADDRESS is DESTINATION address,
* local address is supplied in IFA_LOCAL attribute.
*
* [...]
*/
if we fetch IFA_ADDRESS, and we have a point-to-point link with a peer
address configured, we'll source the peer address as "our" address,
and refuse to resolve it in arp().
This was reported with pasta and a tun upstream interface configured
by OpenVPN in "p2p" topology: the target namespace will have similar
addresses and routes as the host, which is fine, and will try to
resolve the point-to-point peer address (because it's the default
gateway).
Given that we configure it as our address (only internally, not
visibly in the namespace), we'll fail to resolve that and traffic
doesn't go anywhere.
Note that this is not the case for IPv6: there, IFA_ADDRESS is the
actual, local address of the interface, and IFA_LOCAL is not
necessarily present, so the comment in linux/if_addr.h doesn't apply
either.

Since f919dc7a4b1c ("conf, netlink: Don't require a default route to
start"), and since 639fdf06ede ("netlink: Fix selection of template
interface") less buggily, we haven't required a default route on the host
in order to operate. Instead, if we lack a default route we'll pick an
interface with any route, as long as there's only one such interface. If
there's more than one, we don't have a good criterion to pick, so we give
up with an informational message.
Paul Holzinger pointed out that this code considers it ambiguous even if
all but one of the interfaces has only routes to link-local addresses
(fe80::/10). A route to link-local addresses isn't really useful from
pasta's point of view, so ignore them instead. This removes a misleading
message in many cases, and a spurious failure in some cases.

We have a few places where we want to include the name of the internet
protocol version (IPv4 or IPv6) in a message, which we handle with an
open-coded ?: expression.
This seems like something that might be more widely useful, so make a
trivial helper to return the correct string based on the address family.

As pasta duplicates host routes into the target namespaces, interface
indices might not match, so we go through RTA_OIF attributes and fix
them up to match the identifier in the namespace.
But RTA_OIF is not the ony attribute specifying interfaces for routes:
multipath routes use RTA_MULTIPATH attributes with nexthop objects,
which contain in turn interface indices. Fix them up as well.
If we don't, and we have at least two host interfaces, and the host
interface we use as template isn't the first one (hence the
mismatching indices), we'll fail to insert multipath routes with
nexthop objects, and ultimately refuse to start as the kernel
unexpectedly gives us ENODEV.

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.).

A recent kernel change 87d381973e49 ("genetlink: fit NLMSG_DONE into
same read() as families") changed netlink behaviour so that the
NLMSG_DONE terminating a bunch of responses can go in the same
datagram as those responses, rather than in a separate one.
Our netlink code is supposed to handle that behaviour, and indeed does
so for most cases, using the nl_foreach() macro. However, there was a
subtle error in nl_route_dup() which doesn't work with this change.
f00b1534 ("netlink: Don't try to get further datagrams in
nl_route_dup() on NLMSG_DONE") attempted to fix this, but has its own
subtle error.
The problem arises because nl_route_dup(), unlike other cases doesn't
just make a single pass through all the responses to a netlink
request. It needs to get all the routes, then make multiple passes
through them. We don't really have anywhere to buffer multiple
datagrams, so we only support the case where all the routes fit in a
single datagram - but we need to fail gracefully when that's not the
case.
After receiving the first datagram of responses (with nl_next()) we
have a first loop scanning them. It needs to exit when either we run
out of messages in the datagram (!NLMSG_OK()) or when we get a message
indicating the last response (nl_status() <= 0).
What we do after the loop depends on which exit case we had. If we
saw the last response, we're done, but otherwise we need to receive
more datagrams to discard the rest of the responses.
We attempt to check for that second case by re-checking NLMSG_OK(nh,
status). However in the got-last-response case, we've altered status
from the number of remaining bytes to the error code (usually 0). That
means NLMSG_OK() now returns false even if it didn't during the loop
check. To fix this we need separate variables for the number of bytes
left and the final status code.
We also checked status after the loop, but this was redundant: we can
only exit the loop with NLMSG_OK() == true if status <= 0.

There might be isolated testing environments where default routes and
global connectivity are not needed, a single interface has all
non-loopback addresses and routes, and still passt and pasta are
expected to work.
In this case, it's pretty obvious what our upstream interface should
be, so go ahead and select the only interface with at least one
route, disabling DHCP and implying --no-map-gw as the documentation
already states.
If there are multiple interfaces with routes, though, refuse to start,
because at that point it's really not clear what we should do.

Martin reports that, with Fedora Linux kernel version
kernel-core-6.9.0-0.rc0.20240313gitb0546776ad3f.4.fc41.x86_64,
including commit 87d381973e49 ("genetlink: fit NLMSG_DONE into same
read() as families"), pasta doesn't exit once the network namespace
is gone.
Actually, pasta is completely non-functional, at least with default
options, because nl_route_dup(), which duplicates routes from the
parent namespace into the target namespace at start-up, is stuck on
a second receive operation for RTM_GETROUTE.
However, with that commit, the kernel is now able to fit the whole
response, including the NLMSG_DONE message, into a single datagram,
so no further messages will be received.
It turns out that commit 4d6e9d0816e2 ("netlink: Always process all
responses to a netlink request") accidentally relied on the fact that
we would always get at least two datagrams as a response to
RTM_GETROUTE.
That is, the test to check if we expect another datagram, is based
on the 'status' variable, which is 0 if we just parsed NLMSG_DONE,
but we'll also expect another datagram if NLMSG_OK on the last
message is false. But NLMSG_OK with a zero length is always false.
The problem is that we don't distinguish if status is zero because
we got a NLMSG_DONE message, or because we processed all the
available datagram bytes.
Introduce an explicit check on NLMSG_DONE. We should probably
refactor this slightly, for example by introducing a special return
code from nl_status(), but this is probably the least invasive fix
for the issue at hand.

If the default route for a given IP version is a multipath one,
instead of refusing to start because there's no RTA_GATEWAY attribute
in the set returned by the kernel, we can just pick one of the paths.
To make this somewhat less arbitrary, pick the path with the highest
weight, if weights differ.

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.

Host routes can include a preferred source address (RTA_PREFSRC), which
must be one of the host's addresses. However when using pasta with -a the
namespace might be given a different address, not on the host. This seems
to occur pretty routinely depending on the network configuration systems
in place on the host.
With --config-net we will try to copy host routes to the namespace. If
one of those includes an RTA_PREFSRC, but the namespace doesn't have the
host address, this will fail with -EINVAL, causing pasta to fail.
Fix this by stripping off RTA_PREFSRC attributes from routes as we copy
them to the namespace. This is by no means infallible, bit it should at
least handle common cases for the time being.

When we copy addresses from the host to the container in nl_addr_dup(), we
copy all the address's attributes, including IFA_CACHEINFO, which controls
the address's lifetime. If the host address is managed by, for example,
DHCP, it will typically have a finite lifetime.
When we copy that lifetime to the pasta container, that lifetime will
remain, meaning the kernel will eventually remove the address, typically
some hours later. The container, however, won't have the DHCP client or
whatever was managing and maintaining the address in the host, so it will
just lose connectivity.
Long term, we may want to monitor host address changes and reflect them to
the guest. But for now, we just want to take a snapshot of the host's
address and set those in the container permanently. We can accomplish that
by stripping off the IFA_CACHEINFO attribute as we copy addresses.

RTM_NEWADDR message with a loop initialised with IFA_RTA() and
RTM_PAYLOAD() macros. RTM_PAYLOAD(), however is for RTM_NEWROUTE messages

it miscalculates the size and means we can skip some attributes. Switch

We now detect errors on netlink "set" operations while configuring the
pasta namespace with --config-net. However in many cases rather than
a simple "set" we use a more complex "dup" function to copy
configuration from the host to the namespace. We're not yet properly
detecting and reporting netlink errors for that case.
Change the "dup" operations to propagate netlink errors to their
caller, pasta_ns_conf() and report them there.

A single netlink request can result in multiple response datagrams. We
process multiple response datagrams in some circumstances, but there are
cases where we exit early and will leave remaining datagrams in the queue.
These will be flushed in nl_send() before we send another request.
This is confusing, and not what we need to reliably check for errors from
netlink operations. So, instead, make sure we always process all the
response datagrams whenever we send a request (excepting fatal errors).
In most cases this is just a matter of avoiding early exits from nl_foreach
loops. nl_route_dup() is a bit trickier, because we need to retain all the
routes we're going to try to copy in a single buffer. Here we instead use
a secondary buffer to flush any remaining datagrams, and report an error
if there are any additional routes in those datagrams .

In most cases where processing response messages, we expect only one type
of message (excepting NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR), and so we need a test
and continue to skip anything else. Add a helper macro to do this.
This also fixes a bug in nl_get_ext_if() where we didn't have such a test
and if we got a message other than RTM_NEWROUTE we would have parsed
its contents as nonsense.
Also add a warning message if we get such an unexpected message type, which

Currently nl_req() sends the request, and receives a single response
datagram which we then process. However, a single request can result in
multiple response datagrams. That happens nearly all the time for DUMP
requests, where the 'DONE' message usually comes in a second datagram after
the NEW{LINK|ADDR|ROUTE} messages. It can also happen if there are just
too many objects to dump in a single datagram.
Allow our netlink code to process multiple response datagrams by splitting
nl_req() into three different helpers: nl_send() just sends a request,
without getting a response. nl_status() checks a single message to see if
it indicates the end of the reponses for our request. nl_next() moves onto
the next response message, whether it's in a datagram we already received
or we need to recv() a new one. We also add a 'for'-style macro to use
these to step through every response message to a request across multiple
datagrams.
While we're at it, be more thourough with checking that our sequence
numbers are in sync.

Currently we set NLBUFSIZ large enough for 8192 netlink headers (128kiB in
total), and reference netlink(7). However netlink(7) says nothing about
reponse buffer sizes, and the documents which do reference 8192 *bytes* not
8192 headers.
Update NLBUFSIZ to 64kiB with a more detailed rationale.

So far we never checked for errors reported on netlink operations via
NLMSG_ERROR messages. This has led to several subtle and tricky to debug
situations which would have been obvious if we knew that certain netlink
operations had failed.
Introduce a nl_do() helper that performs netlink "do" operations (that is
making a single change without retreiving complex information) with much
more thorough error checking. As well as returning an error code if we
get an NLMSG_ERROR message, we also check for unexpected behaviour in
several places. That way if we've made a mistake in our assumptions about
how netlink works it should result in a clear error rather than some subtle
misbehaviour.
We update those calls to nl_req() that can use the new wrapper to do so.
We will extend those to better handle errors in future. We don't touch
non-"do" operations for now, those are a bit trickier.

Currently netlink functions need to fill in a full netlink header, as well
as a payload then call nl_req() to submit that to the kernel. It makes
things a bit terser if we just give the relevant header fields as
parameters to nl_req() and have it complete the header.

Errors on send() or recv() calls on a netlink socket don't indicate errors
with the netlink operations we're attempting, but rather that something's
gone wrong with the mechanics of netlink itself. We don't really expect
this to ever happen, and if it does, it's not clear what we could to to
recover.
So, treat errors from these calls as fatal, rather than returning the error
up the stack. This makes handling failures in the callers of nl_req()
simpler.

Netlink messages have a sequence number that's used to match requests to
responses. It mostly doesn't matter what it is as long as it monotonically
increases, so we just use a global counter which we advance with each
request.
However, we start this counter at 0, so our very first request has sequence
number 0, which is usually reserved for asynchronous messages from the
kernel which aren't in response to a specific request. Since we don't (for
now) use such async messages, this doesn't really matter, but it's not
good practce. So start the sequence at 1 instead.

nl_req() is designed to handle a single netlink request message: it only
receives a single reply datagram for the request, and only waits for a
single NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR message at the beginning to clear out
things from previous requests.
However, in both nl_addr_dup() and nl_route_dup() we can send multiple
request messages as a single datagram, with a single nl_req() call.
This can easily mean that the replies nl_req() collects get out of
sync with requests. We only get away with this because after we call
these functions we don't make any netlink calls where we need to parse
the replies.
This is fragile, so alter nl_*_dup() to make an nl_req() call for each
address it is adding in the target namespace.
For nl_route_dup() this fixes an additional minor problem: because
routes can have dependencies, some of the route add requests might
fail on the first attempt, so we need to repeat the requests a number
of times. When we did that, we weren't updating the sequence number
on each new attempt. This works, but not updating the sequence number
for each new request isn't ideal. Now that we're making the requests
one at a time, it's easier to make sure we update the sequence number
each time.

All the netlink operations currently implicitly use one of the two global
netlink sockets, sometimes depending on an 'ns' parameter. Change them
all to explicitly take the socket to use (or two sockets to use in the case
of the *_dup() functions). As well as making these functions strictly more
general, it makes the callers easier to follow because we're passing a
socket variable with a name rather than an unexplained '0' or '1' for the
ns parameter.

them up into a function for each operation. This does use more lines of

nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC
address and MTU and also retrieve the existing MAC. This makes for a small
number of lines of code, but high conceptual complexity: it's quite hard
to follow what's going on both in nl_link() itself and it's also not very
obvious which function its callers are intending to use.
Clarify this, by splitting nl_link() into nl_link_up(), nl_link_set_mac(),
and nl_link_get_mac(). The first brings up a link, optionally setting the
MTU, the others get or set the MAC address.
This fixes an arguable bug in pasta_ns_conf(): it looks as though that was
intended to retrieve the guest MAC whether or not c->pasta_conf_ns is set.
However, it only actually does so in the !c->pasta_conf_ns case: the fact
that we set up==1 means we would only ever set, never get, the MAC in the
nl_link() call in the other path. We get away with this because the MAC
will quickly be discovered once we receive packets on the tap interface.
Still, it's neater to always get the MAC address here.

nl_addr() and nl_route() take an 'op' selector which affects a number of
parameters to the netlink call. Unfortunately when we introduced this
option a bug was introduced so that we always use the interface index for
the host side, rather than the one for the pasta namespace.
Really, the entire interface to nl_addr() and nl_route() is pretty bad:
it's tightly coupled with the use cases of its callers. This is a minimal
fix which doesn't address that, but also doesn't make it significantly
worse.

Similarly to what we've just done with routes, support NL_DUP for
addresses (currently not exposed): nl_addr() can optionally copy
mulitple addresses to the target namespace, by fixing up data from
the dump with appropriate flags and interface index, and repeating
it back to the kernel on the socket opened in the target namespace.
Link-local addresses are not copied: the family is set to AF_UNSPEC,
which means the kernel will ignore them. Same for addresses from a
mismatching address (pre-4.19 kernels without support for
NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK).
Ignore IFA_LABEL attributes by changing their type to IFA_UNSPEC,
because in general they will report mismatching names, and we don't
really need to use labels as we already know the interface index.

Instead of just fetching the default gateway and configuring a single
equivalent route in the target namespace, on 'pasta --config-net', it
might be desirable in some cases to copy the whole set of routes
corresponding to a given output interface.
For instance, in:
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/18539
IPv4 Default Route Does Not Propagate to Pasta Containers on Hetzner VPSes
configuring the default gateway won't work without a gateway-less
route (specifying the output interface only), because the default
gateway is, somewhat dubiously, not on the same subnet as the
container.
This is a similar case to the one covered by commit 7656a6f88882
("conf: Adjust netmask on mismatch between IPv4 address/netmask and
gateway"), and I'm not exactly proud of that workaround.
We also have:
https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=49
pasta does not work with tap-style interface
for which, eventually, we should be able to configure a gateway-less
route in the target namespace.
Introduce different operation modes for nl_route(), including a new
NL_DUP one, not exposed yet, which simply parrots back to the kernel
the route dump for a given interface from the outer namespace, fixing
up flags and interface indices on the way, and requesting to add the
same routes in the target namespace, on the interface we manage.
For n routes we want to duplicate, send n identical netlink requests
including the full dump: routes might depend on each other and the
kernel processes RTM_NEWROUTE messages sequentially, not atomically,
and repeating the full dump naturally resolves dependencies without
the need to actually calculate them.
I'm not kidding, it actually works pretty well.

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL

codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.

Commit 89e38f55 "treewide: Fix header includes to build with musl" added
extra #includes to work with musl. Unfortunately with the cppcheck version
I'm using (cppcheck-2.9-1.fc37.x86_64 in Fedora 37) this causes weird false
positives: specifically cppcheck seems to hit a #error in <bits/unistd.h>
complaining about including it directly instead of via <unistd.h> (which is
not something we're doing).
I have no idea why that would be happening; but I'm guessing it has to be
a bug in the cpp implementation in that cppcheck version. In any case,
it's possible to work around this by moving the include of <unistd.h>
before the include of <signal.h>. So, do that.

Roughly inspired from a patch by Chris Kuhn: fix up includes so that
we can build against musl: glibc is more lenient as headers generally
include a larger amount of other headers.
Compared to the original patch, I only included what was needed
directly in C files, instead of adding blanket includes in local
header files. It's a bit more involved, but more consistent with the
current (not ideal) situation.

...instead of BUFSIZ. On musl, BUFSIZ is 1024, so we'll typically
truncate the response to the request we send in nl_link(). It's
usually 8192 or more with glibc.
There doesn't seem to be any macro defining the rtnetlink maximum
message size, and iproute2 just hardcodes 1024 * 1024 for the receive
buffer, but the example in netlink(7) makes somewhat sense, looking
at the kernel implementation.
It's not very clean, but we're very unlikely to hit that limit,
and if we do, we'll find out painlessly, because NLA_OK() will tell
us right away.

When spawning a child command with pasta command... pasta should not
leak fds that it opened. Only the fds that were already open should be
given to the child.
Run `pasta --config-net -- ls -l /proc/self/fd` from a terminal where
only stdin/out/err are open. The fd 3 was opend by ls to read the
/proc/self/fd dir. But fd 5 is the netlink socket that was opend in
pasta. To prevent such a leak we will open the socket with SOCK_CLOEXEC.

Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in
the target user namespace as we isolate the process, which means
we're unable to bind to low ports at that point.
Bind inbound ports, and only those, before isolate_user(). Keep the
handling of outbound ports (for pasta mode only) after the setup of
the namespace, because that's where we'll bind them.
To this end, initialise the netlink socket for the init namespace
before isolate_user() as well, as we actually need to know the
addresses of the upstream interface before binding ports, in case
they're not explicitly passed by the user.
As we now call nl_sock_init() twice, checking its return code from
conf() twice looks a bit heavy: make it exit(), instead, as we
can't do much if we don't have netlink sockets.
While at it:
- move the v4_only && v6_only options check just after the first
option processing loop, as this is more strictly related to
option parsing proper
- update the man page, explaining that CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is
*not* the preferred way to bind ports, because passt and pasta
can be abused to allow other processes to make effective usage
of it. Add a note about the recommended sysctl instead
- simplify nl_sock_init_do() now that it's called once for each
case

With default options, when we pass --config-net, the IPv6 address is
actually going to be recycled from the init namespace, so it is in
fact duplicated, but duplicate address detection has no way to find
out.
With a different configured address, that's not the case, but anyway
duplicate address detection will be unable to see this.
In both cases, we're wasting time for nothing.
Pass the IFA_F_NODAD flag as we configure globally scoped IPv6
addresses via netlink.
