* udp: Introduce recvmmsg()/sendmmsg(), zero-copy path from socketStefano Brivio2021-07-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Packets are received directly onto pre-cooked, static buffers for IPv4 (with partial checksum pre-calculation) and IPv6 frames, with pre-filled Ethernet addresses and, partially, IP headers, and sent out from the same buffers with sendmmsg(), for both passt and pasta (non-local traffic only) modes.

* passt: Add PASTA mode, major reworkStefano Brivio2021-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Add support for multiple instances in different network namespacesStefano Brivio2021-05-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ...sharing the same filesystem. Instead of a fixed path for the UNIX domain socket, passt now uses a path with a counter, probing for existing instances, and picking the first free one. The demo script is updated accordingly -- it can now be started several times to create multiple namespaces with an instance of passt each, with addressing reflecting separate subnets, and NDP proxying between them.

* passt: Introduce packet capture implementationStefano Brivio2021-05-211-0/+2
With -DDEBUG, passt now saves guest-side traffic captures in pcap format at /tmp/passt_<ISO8601 timestamp>.pcap. The timestamp refers to time and date of start-up. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
