* passt: Introduce packet batching mechanismStefano Brivio2021-04-221-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | Receive packets in batches from AF_UNIX, check if they can be sent with a single syscall, and batch them up with sendmmsg() in case. A bit rudimentary, currently only implemented for UDP, but it seems to work. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt: Introduce ICMP echo proxyStefano Brivio2021-03-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | It's nice to be able to confirm connectivity using ICMP or ICMPv6 echo requests, and "ping" sockets on Linux (IPPROTO_ICMP datagram) allow us to do that without any special capability. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Add struct for TCP execution context, move hash_secret to itStefano Brivio2021-03-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | We don't need to keep small data as static variables, move the only small variable we have so far to the new struct. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt: New design and implementation with native Layer 4 socketsStefano Brivio2021-02-161-48/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
