* pcap: Handle short writes in pcap_frame()David Gibson2024-02-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently pcap_frame() assumes that if write() doesn't return an error, it has written everything we want. That's not necessarily true, because it could return a short write. That's not likely to happen on a regular file, but there's not a lot of reason not to be robust here; it's conceivable we might want to direct the pcap fd at a named pipe or similar. So, make pcap_frame() handle short frames by using the write_remainder() helper.

* 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.

* udp: Use tap_send_frames()David Gibson2023-01-231-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To send frames on the tap interface, the UDP uses a fairly complicated two level batching. First multiple frames are gathered into a single "message" for the qemu stream socket, then multiple messages are send with sendmmsg(). We now have tap_send_frames() which already deals with sending a number of frames, including batching and handling partial sends. Use that to considerably simplify things. This does make a couple of behavioural changes: * We used to split messages to keep them under 32kiB (except when a single frame was longer than that). The comments claim this is needed to stop qemu from closing the connection, but we don't have any equivalent logic for TCP. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with this series, although it was apparently easy to reproduce earlier. My suspicion is that there was never an inherent need to keep messages small, however with larger messages (and default kernel buffer sizes) the chances of needing more than one resend for partial send()s is greatly increased. We used not to correctly handle that case of multiple resends, but now we do. * Previously when we got a partial send on UDP, we would resend the remainder of the entire "message", including multiple frames. The common code now only resends the remainder of a single frame, simply dropping any frames which weren't even partially sent. This is what TCP always did and is probably a better idea for UDP too.

* pcap: Replace pcapm() with pcap_multiple()David Gibson2023-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pcapm() captures multiple frames from a msghdr, however the only thing it cares about in the msghdr is the list of buffers, where it assumes there is one frame to capture per buffer. That's what we want for its single caller but it's not the only obvious choice here (one frame per msghdr would arguably make more sense in isolation). In addition pcapm() has logic that only makes sense in the context of the passt specific path its called from: it skips the first 4 bytes of each buffer, because those have the qemu vnet_len rather than the frame proper. Make this clearer by replacing pcapm() with pcap_multiple() which more explicitly takes one struct iovec per frame, and parameterizes how much of each buffer to skip (i.e. the offset of the frame within the buffer).

* passt, pasta: Namespace-based sandboxing, defer seccomp policy applicationStefano Brivio2022-02-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To reach (at least) a conceptually equivalent security level as implemented by --enable-sandbox in slirp4netns, we need to create a new mount namespace and pivot_root() into a new (empty) mountpoint, so that passt and pasta can't access any filesystem resource after initialisation. While at it, also detach IPC, PID (only for passt, to prevent vulnerabilities based on the knowledge of a target PID), and UTS namespaces. With this approach, if we apply the seccomp filters right after the configuration step, the number of allowed syscalls grows further. To prevent this, defer the application of seccomp policies after the initialisation phase, before the main loop, that's where we expect bad things to happen, potentially. This way, we get back to 22 allowed syscalls for passt and 34 for pasta, on x86_64. While at it, move #syscalls notes to specific code paths wherever it conceptually makes sense. We have to open all the file handles we'll ever need before sandboxing: - the packet capture file can only be opened once, drop instance numbers from the default path and use the (pre-sandbox) PID instead - /proc/net/tcp{,v6} and /proc/net/udp{,v6}, for automatic detection of bound ports in pasta mode, are now opened only once, before sandboxing, and their handles are stored in the execution context - the UNIX domain socket for passt is also bound only once, before sandboxing: to reject clients after the first one, instead of closing the listening socket, keep it open, accept and immediately discard new connection if we already have a valid one Clarify the (unchanged) behaviour for --netns-only in the man page. To actually make passt and pasta processes run in a separate PID namespace, we need to unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) before forking to background (if configured to do so). Introduce a small daemon() implementation, __daemon(), that additionally saves the PID file before forking. While running in foreground, the process itself can't move to a new PID namespace (a process can't change the notion of its own PID): mention that in the man page. For some reason, fork() in a detached PID namespace causes SIGTERM and SIGQUIT to be ignored, even if the handler is still reported as SIG_DFL: add a signal handler that just exits. We can now drop most of the pasta_child_handler() implementation, that took care of terminating all processes running in the same namespace, if pasta started a shell: the shell itself is now the init process in that namespace, and all children will terminate once the init process exits. Issuing 'echo $$' in a detached PID namespace won't return the actual namespace PID as seen from the init namespace: adapt demo and test setup scripts to reflect that.

* 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.
