* tcp: Separate helpers to create ns listening socketsDavid Gibson2022-11-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_sock_init*() can create either sockets listening on the host, or in the pasta network namespace (with @ns==1). There are, however, a number of differences in how these two cases work in practice though. "ns" sockets are only used in pasta mode, and they always lead to spliced connections only. The functions are also only ever called in "ns" mode with a NULL address and interface name, and it doesn't really make sense for them to be called any other way. Later changes will introduce further differences in behaviour between these two cases, so it makes more sense to use separate functions for creating the ns listening sockets than the regular external/host listening sockets.

* tcp: Unify spliced and non-spliced connection tablesDavid Gibson2022-11-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently spliced and non-spliced connections are stored in completely separate tables, so there are completely independent limits on the number of spliced and non-spliced connections. This is a bit counter-intuitive. More importantly, the fact that the tables are separate prevents us from unifying some other logic between the two cases. So, merge these two tables into one, using the 'c.spliced' common field to distinguish between them when necessary. For now we keep a common limit of 128k connections, whether they're spliced or non-spliced, which means we save memory overall. If necessary we could increase this to a 256k or higher total, which would cost memory but give some more flexibility. For now, the code paths which need to step through all extant connections are still separate for the two cases, just skipping over entries which aren't for them. We'll improve that in later patches.

* Use typing to reduce chances of IPv4 endianness errorsDavid Gibson2022-11-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently corrected some errors handling the endianness of IPv4 addresses. These are very easy errors to make since although we mostly store them in network endianness, we sometimes need to manipulate them in host endianness. To reduce the chances of making such mistakes again, change to always using a (struct in_addr) instead of a bare in_addr_t or uint32_t to store network endian addresses. This makes it harder to accidentally do arithmetic or comparisons on such addresses as if they were host endian. We introduce a number of IN4_IS_ADDR_*() helpers to make it easier to directly work with struct in_addr values. This has the additional benefit of making the IPv4 and IPv6 paths more visually similar. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp, tcp_splice: Fix port remapping for inbound, spliced connectionsStefano Brivio2022-10-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pasta mode, when we receive a new inbound connection, we need to select a socket that was created in the namespace to proceed and connect() it to its final destination. The existing condition might pick a wrong socket, though, if the destination port is remapped, because we'll check the bitmap of inbound ports using the remapped port (stored in the epoll reference) as index, and not the original port. Instead of using the port bitmap for this purpose, store this information in the epoll reference itself, by adding a new 'outbound' bit, that's set if the listening socket was created the namespace, and unset otherwise. Then, use this bit to pick a socket on the right side.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since kernel version 5.7, commit c427bfec18f2 ("net: core: enable SO_BINDTODEVICE for non-root users"), we can bind sockets to interfaces, if they haven't been bound yet (as in bind()).

* Don't use indirect remap functions for conf_ports()David Gibson2022-09-241-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Now that we've delayed initialization of the UDP specific "reverse" map until udp_init(), the only difference between the various 'remap' functions used in conf_ports() is which array they target. So, simplify by open coding the logic into conf_ports() with a pointer to the correct mapping array. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* Consolidate port forwarding configuration into a common structureDavid Gibson2022-09-241-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The configuration for how to forward ports in and out of the guest/ns is divided between several different variables. For each connect direction and protocol we have a mode in the udp/tcp context structure, a bitmap of which ports to forward also in the context structure and an array of deltas to apply if the outward facing and inward facing port numbers are different. This last is a separate global variable, rather than being in the context structure, for no particular reason. UDP also requires an additional array which has the reverse mapping used for return packets. Consolidate these into a re-used substructure in the context structure.

* Improve types and names for port forwarding configurationDavid Gibson2022-09-241-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | enum conf_port_type is local to conf.c and is used to track the port forwarding mode during configuration. We don't keep it around in the context structure, however the 'init_detect_ports' and 'ns_detect_ports' fields in the context are based solely on this. Rather than changing encoding, just include the forwarding mode into the context structure. Move the type definition to a new port_fwd.h, which is kind of trivial at the moment but will have more stuff later. While we're there, "conf_port_type" doesn't really convey that this enum is describing how port forwarding is configured. Rename it to port_fwd_mode. The variables (now fields) of this type also have mildly confusing names since it's not immediately obvious whether 'ns' and 'init' refer to the source or destination of the packets. Use "in" (host to guest / init to ns) and "out" (guest to host / ns to init) instead. This has the added bonus that we no longer have locals 'udp_init' and 'tcp_init' which shadow global functions. In addition, add a typedef 'port_fwd_map' for a bitmap of each port number, which is used in several places. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

* treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checksStefano Brivio2022-03-291-11/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a packet abstraction providing boundary and size checks based on packet descriptors: packets stored in a buffer can be queued into a pool (without storage of its own), and data can be retrieved referring to an index in the pool, specifying offset and length. Checks ensure data is not read outside the boundaries of buffer and descriptors, and that packets added to a pool are within the buffer range with valid offset and indices. This implies a wider rework: usage of the "queueing" part of the abstraction mostly affects tap_handler_{passt,pasta}() functions and their callees, while the "fetching" part affects all the guest or tap facing implementations: TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, NDP, DHCP and DHCPv6 handlers.

* tcp: Rework timers to use timerfd instead of periodic bitmap scanStefano Brivio2022-03-291-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With a lot of concurrent connections, the bitmap scan approach is not really sustainable. Switch to per-connection timerfd timers, set based on events and on two new flags, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE and ACK_TO_TAP_DUE. Timers are added to the common epoll list, and implement the existing timeouts. While at it, drop the CONN_ prefix from flag names, otherwise they get quite long, and fix the logic to decide if a connection has a local, possibly unreachable endpoint: we shouldn't go through the rest of tcp_conn_from_tap() if we reset the connection due to a successful bind(2), and we'll get EACCES if the port number is low.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using events and flags instead of states makes the implementation much more straightforward: actions are mostly centered on events that occurred on the connection rather than states. An example is given by the ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT and FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN abominations: we don't actually care about which side started closing the connection to handle closing of connection halves. Split out the spliced implementation, as it has very little in common with the "regular" TCP path. Refactor things here and there to improve clarity.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As we support UDP forwarding for packets that are sent to local ports, we actually need some kind of connection tracking for UDP. While at it, this commit introduces a number of vaguely related fixes for issues observed while trying this out. In detail: - implement an explicit, albeit minimalistic, connection tracking for UDP, to allow usage of ephemeral ports by the guest and by the host at the same time, by binding them dynamically as needed, and to allow mapping address changes for packets with a loopback address as destination - set the guest MAC address whenever we receive a packet from tap instead of waiting for an ARP request, and set it to broadcast on start, otherwise DHCPv6 might not work if all DHCPv6 requests time out before the guest starts talking IPv4 - split context IPv6 address into address we assign, global or site address seen on tap, and link-local address seen on tap, and make sure we use the addresses we've seen as destination (link-local choice depends on source address). Similarly, for IPv4, split into address we assign and address we observe, and use the address we observe as destination - introduce a clock_gettime() syscall right after epoll_wait() wakes up, so that we can remove all the other ones and pass the current timestamp to tap and socket handlers -- this is additionally needed by UDP to time out bindings to ephemeral ports and mappings between loopback address and a local address - rename sock_l4_add() to sock_l4(), no semantic changes intended - include <arpa/inet.h> in passt.c before kernel headers so that we can use <netinet/in.h> macros to check IPv6 address types, and remove a duplicate <linux/ip.h> inclusion Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* passt: New design and implementation with native Layer 4 socketsStefano Brivio2021-02-161-0/+5
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.
