* tcp: Obtain guest address from flowsideDavid Gibson2024-07-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we always deliver inbound TCP packets to the guest's most recent observed IP address. This has the odd side effect that if the guest changes its IP address with active TCP connections we might deliver packets from old connections to the new address. That won't work; it will probably result in an RST from the guest. Worse, if the guest added a new address but also retains the old one, then we could break those old connections by redirecting them to the new address. Now that we maintain flowside information, we have a record of the correct guest side address and can just use it.

* tcp: leverage support of SO_PEEK_OFF socket option when availableJon Maloy2024-07-151-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | >From linux-6.9.0 the kernel will contain commit 05ea491641d3 ("tcp: add support for SO_PEEK_OFF socket option"). This new feature makes is possible to call recv_msg(MSG_PEEK) and make it start reading data from a given offset set by the SO_PEEK_OFF socket option. This way, we can avoid repeated reading of already read bytes of a received message, hence saving read cycles when forwarding TCP messages in the host->name space direction. In this commit, we add functionality to leverage this feature when available, while we fall back to the previous behavior when not. Measurements with iperf3 shows that throughput increases with 15-20 percent in the host->namespace direction when this feature is used.

* vhost-user: compare mode MODE_PASTA and not MODE_PASSTLaurent Vivier2024-06-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | As we are going to introduce the MODE_VU that will act like the mode MODE_PASST, compare to MODE_PASTA rather than to add a comparison to MODE_VU when we check for MODE_PASST.

* tcp: move buffers management functions to their own fileLaurent Vivier2024-06-131-0/+519
Move all the TCP parts using internal buffers to tcp_buf.c and keep generic TCP management functions in tcp.c. Add tcp_internal.h to export needed functions from tcp.c and tcp_buf.h from tcp_buf.c With this change we can use existing TCP functions with a different kind of memory storage as for instance the shared memory provided by the guest via vhost-user.
