* treewide: Use IN4ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT more widelyDavid Gibson2023-12-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | We already define IN4ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT to initialise a struct in_addr to the loopback address without delving into its internals. However there are some places we don't use it, and explicitly look at the internal structure of struct in_addr, which we generally want to avoid. Use the define more widely to avoid that.

* tcp: Fix address type for tcp_sock_init_af()David Gibson2023-12-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This takes a struct in_addr * (i.e. an IPv4 address), although it's explicitly supposed to handle IPv6 as well. Both its caller and sock_l4() which it calls use a void * for the address, which can be either an in_addr or an in6_addr. We get away with this, because we don't do anything with the pointer other than transfer it from the caller to sock_l4(), but it's misleading. And quite possibly technically UB, because C is like that. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp: Don't account for hash table size in tcp_hash()David Gibson2023-12-271-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently tcp_hash() returns the hash bucket for a value, that is the hash modulo the size of the hash table. Usually it's a bit more flexible to have hash functions return a "raw" hash value and perform the modulus in the callers. That allows the same hash function to be used for multiple tables of different sizes, or to re-use the hash for other purposes. We don't do anything like that with tcp_hash() at present, but we have some plans to do so. Prepare for that by making tcp_hash() and tcp_conn_hash() return raw hash values.

* tcp: Implement hash table with indices rather than pointersDavid Gibson2023-12-271-11/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We implement our hash table with pointers to the entry for each bucket (or NULL). However, the entries are always allocated within the flow table, meaning that a flow index will suffice, halving the size of the hash table. For TCP, just a flow index would be enough, but future uses will want to expand the hash table to cover indexing either side of a flow, so use a flow_sidx_t as the type for each hash bucket.

* tcp: Switch hash table to linear probing instead of chainingDavid Gibson2023-12-271-54/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we deal with hash collisions by letting a hash bucket contain multiple entries, forming a linked list using an index in the connection structure. That's a pretty standard and simple approach, but in our case we can use an even simpler one: linear probing. Here if a hash bucket is occupied we just move onto the next one until we find a feww one. This slightly simplifies lookup and more importantly saves some precious bytes in the connection structure by removing the need for a link. It does require some additional complexity for hash removal. This approach can perform poorly with hash table load is high. However, we already size our hash table of pointers larger than the connection table, which puts an upper bound on the load. It's relatively cheap to decrease that bound if we find we need to. I adapted the linear probing operations from Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3, 2nd Edition. Specifically Algorithm L and Algorithm R in Section 6.4.

* tcp: Fix conceptually incorrect byte-order switch in tcp_tap_handler()David Gibson2023-12-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_hash_lookup() expects the port numbers in host order, but the TCP header, of course, has them in network order, so we need to switch them. However we call htons() (host to network) instead of ntohs() (network to host). This works because those do the same thing in practice (they only wouldn't on very strange theoretical platforms which are neither big nor little endian). But, having this the "wrong" way around is misleading, so switch it around. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* tcp: Don't defer hash table removal2023_12_04.b86afe3David Gibson2023-12-041-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a TCP connection is closed, we mark it by setting events to CLOSED, then some time later we do final cleanups: closing sockets, removing from the hash table and so forth. This does mean that when making a hash lookup we need to exclude any apparent matches that are CLOSED, since they represent a stale connection. This can happen in practice if one connection closes and a new one with the same endpoints is started shortly afterward. Checking for CLOSED is quite specific to TCP however, and won't work when we extend the hash table to more general flows. So, alter the code to immediately remove the connection from the hash table when CLOSED, although we still defer closing sockets and other cleanup.

* flow,tcp: Use epoll_ref type including flow and sideDavid Gibson2023-12-041-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently TCP uses the 'flow' epoll_ref field for both connected sockets and timers, which consists of just the index of the relevant flow (connection). This is just fine for timers, for while it obviously works, it's subtly incomplete for sockets on spliced connections. In that case we want to know which side of the connection the event is occurring on as well as which connection. At present, we deduce that information by looking at the actual fd, and comparing it to the fds of the sockets on each side. When we use the flow table for more things, we expect more cases where something will need to know a specific side of a specific flow for an event, but nothing more. Therefore add a new 'flowside' epoll_ref field, with exactly that information. We use it for TCP connected sockets. This allows us to directly know the side for spliced connections. For "tap" connections, it's pretty meaningless, since the side is always the socket side. It still makes logical sense though, and it may become important for future flow table work.

* flow,tcp: Generalise TCP epoll_ref to generic flowsDavid Gibson2023-12-041-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP uses three different epoll object types: one for connected sockets, one for timers and one for listening sockets. Listening sockets really need information that's specific to TCP, so need their own epoll_ref field. Timers and connected sockets, however, only need the connection (flow) they're associated with. As we expand the use of the flow table, we expect that to be true for more epoll fds. So, rename the "TCP" epoll_ref field to be a "flow" epoll_ref field that can be used both for TCP and for other future cases.

* flow, tcp: Add logging helpers for connection related messagesDavid Gibson2023-12-041-44/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the messages logged by the TCP code (be they errors, debug or trace messages) are related to a specific connection / flow. We're fairly consistent about prefixing these with the type of connection and the connection / flow index. However there are a few places where we put the index later in the message or omit it entirely. The template with the prefix is also a little bulky to carry around for every message, particularly for spliced connections. To help keep this consistent, introduce some helpers to log messages linked to a specific flow. It takes the flow as a parameter and adds a uniform prefix to each message. This makes things slightly neater now, but more importantly will help keep formatting consistent as we add more things to the flow table.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both tcp.c and tcp_splice.c define CONN_IDX() variants to find the index of their connection structures in the connection table, now become the unified flow table. We can easily combine these into a common helper. While we're there, add some trickery for some additional type safety. They also define their own CONN() versions, which aren't so easily combined since they need to return different types, but we can have them use a common helper. In the process, we standardise on always using an unsigned type to store the connection / flow index, which makes more sense. tcp.c's conn_at_idx() remains for now, but we change its parameter to unsigned to match. That in turn means we can remove a check for negative values from it. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* valgrind: Adjust suppression for MSG_TRUNC with NULL bufferDavid Gibson2023-11-191-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | valgrind complains if we pass a NULL buffer to recv(), even if we use MSG_TRUNC, in which case it's actually safe. For a long time we've had a valgrind suppression for this. It singles out the recv() in tcp_sock_consume(), the only place we use MSG_TRUNC. However, tcp_sock_consume() only has a single caller, which makes it a prime candidate for inlining. If inlined, it won't appear on the stack and valgrind won't match the correct suppression. It appears that certain compiler versions (for example gcc-13.2.1 in Fedora 39) will inline this function even with the -O0 we use for valgrind builds. This breaks the suppression leading to a spurious failure in the tests. There's not really any way to adjust the suppression itself without making it overly broad (we don't want to match other recv() calls). So, as a hack explicitly prevent inlining of this function when we're making a valgrind build. To accomplish this add an explicit -DVALGRIND when making such a build.

* tcp: Don't use TCP_WINDOW_CLAMPDavid Gibson2023-11-101-56/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the L2 tap side, we see TCP headers and know the TCP window that the ultimate receiver is advertising. In order to avoid unnecessary buffering within passt/pasta (or by the kernel on passt/pasta's behalf) we attempt to advertise that window back to the original sock-side sender using TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP. However, TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP just doesn't work like this. Prior to kernel commit 3aa7857fe1d7 ("tcp: enable mid stream window clamp"), it simply had no effect on established sockets. After that commit, it does affect established sockets but doesn't behave the way we need: * It appears to be designed only to shrink the window, not to allow it to re-expand. * More importantly, that commit has a serious bug where if the setsockopt() is made when the existing kernel advertised window for the socket happens to be zero, it will now become locked at zero, stopping any further data from being received on the socket. Since this has never worked as intended, simply remove it. It might be possible to re-implement the intended behaviour by manipulating SO_RCVBUF, so we leave a comment to that effect. This kernel bug is the underlying cause of both the linked passt bug and the linked podman bug. We attempted to fix this before with passt commit d3192f67 ("tcp: Force TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP before resetting STALLED flag"). However while that commit masked the bug for some cases, it didn't really address the problem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | logmsg() takes printf like arguments, but because it's not a built in, the compiler won't generate warnings if the format string and parameters don't match. Enable those by using the format attribute. Strictly speaking this is a gcc extension, but I believe it is also supported by some other common compilers. We already use some other attributes in various places. For now, just use it and we can worry about compilers that don't support it if it comes up. This exposes some warnings from existing callers, both in gcc and in clang-tidy: - Some are straight out bugs, which we correct - It's occasionally useful to invoke the logging functions with an empty string, which gcc objects to, so disable that specific warning in the Makefile - Strictly speaking the C standard requires that the parameter for a %p be a (void *), not some other pointer type. That's only likely to cause problems in practice on weird architectures with different sized representations for pointers to different types. Nonetheless add the casts to make it happy.

Passing those maps directly as parameters simplifies the code without making the callers life harder, because those already know the relevant maps.

This happens quite frequently if our sending buffer on the UNIX domain socket is heavily constrained (for instance, by the 208 KiB default memory limit). It might be argued that dropping frames is part of the expected TCP flow: we don't dequeue those from the socket anyway, so we'll eventually retransmit them. But we don't need the receiver to tell us (by the way of duplicate or missing ACKs) that we couldn't send them: we already know as sendmsg() reports that. This seems to considerably increase throughput stability and throughput itself for TCP connections with default wmem_max values. Unfortunately, the 16 bits left as padding in the frame descriptors we use internally aren't enough to uniquely identify for which connection we should update sequence numbers: create a parallel array of pointers to sequence numbers and L4 lengths, of TCP_FRAMES_MEM size, and go through it after calling sendmsg().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It looks like we need it as workaround for this situation, readily reproducible at least with a 6.5 Linux kernel, with default rmem_max and wmem_max values: - an iperf3 client on the host sends about 160 KiB, typically segmented into five frames by passt. We read this data using MSG_PEEK - the iperf3 server on the guest starts receiving - meanwhile, the host kernel advertised a zero-sized window to the sender, as expected - eventually, the guest acknowledges all the data sent so far, and we drop it from the buffer, courtesy of tcp_sock_consume(), using recv() with MSG_TRUNC - the client, however, doesn't get an updated window value, and even keepalive packets are answered with zero-window segments, until the connection is closed It looks like dropping data from a socket using MSG_TRUNC doesn't cause a recalculation of the window, which would be expected as a result of any receiving operation that invalidates data on a buffer (that is, not with MSG_PEEK). Strangely enough, setting TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP via setsockopt(), even to the previous value we clamped to, forces a recalculation of the window which is advertised to the sender. I couldn't quite confirm this issue by following all the possible code paths in the kernel, yet. If confirmed, this should be fixed in the kernel, but meanwhile this workaround looks robust to me (and it will be needed for backward compatibility anyway).

* siphash: Use incremental rather than all-at-once siphash functionsDavid Gibson2023-09-301-22/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a bunch of variants of the siphash functions for different data sizes. The callers, in tcp.c, need to pack the various values they want to hash into a temporary structure, then call the appropriate version. We can avoid the copy into the temporary by directly using the incremental siphash functions. The length specific hash functions also have an undocumented constraint that the data pointer they take must, in fact, be aligned to avoid unaligned accesses, which may cause crashes on some architectures. So, prefer the incremental approach and remove the length-specific functions. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the siphas_*b() functions return 64-bit results, others 32-bit results, with no obvious pattern. siphash_32b() also appears to do this incorrectly - taking the 64-bit hash value and simply returning it truncated, rather than folding the two halves together. Since SipHash proper is defined to give a 64-bit hash, make all of them return 64-bit results. In the one caller which needs a 32-bit value, tcp_seq_init() do the fold down to 32-bits ourselves.

* util: Consolidate and improve workarounds for clang-tidy issue 58992David Gibson2023-09-271-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have several workarounds for a clang-tidy bug where the checker doesn't recognize that a number of system calls write to - and therefore initialise - a socket address. We can't neatly use a suppression, because the bogus warning shows up some time after the actual system call, when we access a field of the socket address which clang-tidy erroneously thinks is uninitialised. Consolidate these workarounds into one place by using macros to implement wrappers around affected system calls which add a memset() of the sockaddr to silence clang-tidy. This removes the need for the individual memset() workarounds at the callers - and the somewhat longwinded explanatory comments. We can then use a #define to not include the hack in "real" builds, but only consider it for clang-tidy.

* Avoid shadowing index(3)David Gibson2023-09-271-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tcp: Always send an ACK segment once the handshake is completedStefano Brivio2023-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reporter is running a SMTP server behind pasta, and the client waits for the server's banner before sending any data. In turn, the server waits for our ACK after sending SYN,ACK, which never comes. If we use the ACK_IF_NEEDED indication to tcp_send_flag(), given that there's no pending data, we delay sending the ACK segment at the end of the three-way handshake until we have some data to send to the server. This was actually intended, as I thought we would lower the latency for new connections, but we can't assume that the client will start sending data first (SMTP is the typical example where this doesn't happen). And, trying out this patch with SSH (where the client starts sending data first), the reporter actually noticed we have a lower latency by forcing an ACK right away.

* tcp: Correct handling of FIN,ACK followed by SYNDavid Gibson2023-09-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the guest tries to establish a connection, it could give up on it by sending a FIN,ACK instead of a plain ACK to our SYN,ACK. It could then make a new attempt to establish a connection with the same addresses and ports with a new SYN. Although it's unlikely, it could send the 2nd SYN very shortly after the FIN,ACK resulting in both being received in the same batch of packets from the tap interface. Currently, we don't handle that correctly, when we receive a FIN,ACK on a not fully established connection we discard the remaining packets in the batch, and so will never process the 2nd SYN. Correct this by returning 1 from tcp_tap_handler() in this case, so we'll just consume the FIN,ACK and continue to process the rest of the batch.

* tcp: Consolidate paths where we initiate reset on tap interfaceDavid Gibson2023-09-081-22/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of conditions where we will issue a TCP RST in response to something unexpected we received from the tap interface. These occur in both tcp_data_from_tap() and tcp_tap_handler(). In tcp_tap_handler() use a 'goto out of line' technique to consolidate all these paths into one place. For the tcp_data_from_tap() cases use a negative return code and direct that to the same path in tcp_tap_handler(), its caller. In this case we want to discard all remaining packets in the batch we have received: even if they're otherwise good, they'll be invalidated when the guest receives the RST we're sending. This is subtly different from the case where we *receive* an RST, where we could in theory get a new SYN immediately afterwards. Clarify that with a common on the now common reset path.

We don't correctly handle that unlikely case, because when we receive the RST, we discard any remaining packets in the batch so we'd never see the SYN. This could happen in either tcp_tap_handler() or tcp_data_from_tap(). Correct that by returning 1, so that the caller will continue calling tcp_tap_handler() on subsequent packets allowing us to process any subsequent SYN.

* tcp, tap: Correctly advance through packets in tcp_tap_handler()David Gibson2023-09-081-13/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In both tap4_handler() and tap6_handler(), once we've sorted incoming l3 packets into "sequences", we then step through all the packets in each TCP sequence calling tcp_tap_handler(). Or so it appears. In fact, tcp_tap_handler() doesn't take an index and always looks at packet 0 of the sequence, except when it calls tcp_data_from_tap() to process data packets. It appears to be written with the idea that the struct pool is a queue, from which it consumes packets as it processes them, but that's not how the pool data structure works - they are more like an array of packets. We only get away with this, because setup packets for TCP tend to come in separate batches (because we need to reply in between) and so we only get a bunch of packets for the same connection together when they're data packets (tcp_data_from_tap() has its own loop through packets). Correct this by adding an index parameter to tcp_tap_handler() and altering the loops in tap.c to step through the pool properly.

* tcp: Remove broken pressure calculations for tcp_defer_handler()David Gibson2023-08-221-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_defer_handler() performs a potentially expensive linear scan of the connection table. So, to mitigate the cost of that we skip if if we're not under at least moderate pressure: either 30% of available connections or 30% (estimated) of available fds used. But, the calculation for this has been broken since it was introduced: we calculate "max_conns" based on c->tcp.conn_count, not TCP_MAX_CONNS, meaning we only exit early if conn_count is less than 30% of itself, i.e. never. If that calculation is "corrected" to be based on TCP_MAX_CONNS, it completely tanks the TCP CRR times for passt - from ~60ms to >1000ms on my laptop. My guess is that this is because in the case of many short lived connections, we're letting the table become much fuller before compacting it. That means that other places which perform a table scan now have to do much, much more. For the time being, simply remove the tests, since they're not doing anything useful. We can reintroduce them more carefully if we see a need for them. This also removes the only user of c->tcp.splice_conn_count, so that can be removed as well.
