* Avoid shadowing index(3)David Gibson2023-09-271-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A classic gotcha of the standard C library is that its unwise to call any variable 'index' because it will shadow the standard string library function index(3). This can cause warnings from cppcheck amongst others, and it also means that if the variable is removed you tend to get confusing type errors (or sometimes nothing at all) instead of a nice simple "name is not defined" error. Strictly speaking this only occurs if <string.h> is included, but that is so common that as a rule it's best to just avoid it always. We have a number of places which hit this trap, so rename variables and parameters to avoid it.

* passt: Relicense to GPL 2.0, or any later versionStefano Brivio2023-04-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility dilemmas. Change licensing terms to the GNU General Public License Version 2, or any later version, with written permission from all current and past contributors, namely: myself, David Gibson, Laine Stump, Andrea Bolognani, Paul Holzinger, Richard W.M.

* packet: Fix off-by-one in packet_get_do() sanity checksStefano Brivio2022-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | An n-sized pool, or a pool with n entries, doesn't include index n, only up to n - 1. I'm not entirely sure this sanity check actually covers any practical case, but I spotted this while debugging a hang in tap4_handler() (possibly due to malformed sequence entries from qemu).

* treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checksStefano Brivio2022-03-291-0/+134
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.
