* qrap: Find qemu command if not passed, patch command lineStefano Brivio2021-05-101-9/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It might be impractical to pass options to qrap when using libvirt, because the <emulator/> tag expects a path to an executable, without further arguments. If the first argument is not a plausible socket number, and the second argument is not a valid executable, look up a qemu command from a list of possible names, then start it patching the command line to include the -netdev fd= parameter corresponding to the AF_UNIX domain socket we just opened.

* passt: New design and implementation with native Layer 4 socketsStefano Brivio2021-02-161-2/+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.

* merd: Switch to AF_UNIX for qemu tap, provide wrapperStefano Brivio2021-02-161-0/+79
We can bypass a full-fledged network interface between qemu and merd by connecting the qemu tap file descriptor to a provided UNIX domain socket: this could be implemented in qemu eventually, qrap covers this meanwhile. This also avoids the need for the AF_PACKET socket towards the guest. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
