* tcp_splice: Make tcp_splice_connect() create its own socketsDavid Gibson2024-02-291-14/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently creating the connected socket for a splice is split between tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(), which opens the socket, and tcp_splice_connect() which connects it. Alter tcp_splice_connect() to open its own socket based on an address family and pif we pass it. This does require a second conditional on pif, but makes for a more logical split of functionality: tcp_splice_conn_from_sock() picks the target, tcp_splice_connect() creates the connection.

* tcp_splice: Merge tcp_splice_new() into its callerDavid Gibson2024-02-291-34/+24
| | | | | | | | | | The only caller of tcp_splice_new() is tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(). Both are quite short, and the division of responsibilities between the two isn't particularly obvious.

* tcp_splice: More specific variable names in new splice pathDavid Gibson2024-02-291-19/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(), the 'port' variable stores the source port of the connection on the originating side. In tcp_splice_new(), called directly from it, the 'port' parameter gives the _destination_ port of the originating connection and is then updated to the destination port of the connection on the other side. Similarly, in tcp_splice_conn_from_sock(), 's' is the fd of the accetped socket (on side 0), whereas in tcp_splice_new(), 's' is the fd of the connecting socket (side 1). I, for one, find having the same variable name with different meanings in such close proximity in the flow of control pretty confusing. Alter the names for greater specificity and clarity.

* flow: Clarify flow entry life cycle, introduce uniform loggingDavid Gibson2024-02-291-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our allocation scheme for flow entries means there are some non-obvious constraints on when what things can be done with an entry. Add a big doc comment explaining the life cycle. In addition, make a FLOW_START() macro to mark one of the important transitions. This encourages correct usage, by making it natural to only access the flow type specific structure after calling it. It also logs that a new flow has been created, which is useful for debugging. We also add logging when a flow's lifecycle ends. This doesn't need a new helper, because it can only happen either from flow_alloc_cancel() or from the flow deferred handler.

* tcp_splice: Don't use flow_trace() before setting flow typeDavid Gibson2024-02-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In tcp_splice_conn_from_sock() we can call flow_trace() if there's an error setting TCP_QUICKACK. However, we do so before we've set the flow type in the flow entry. That means that flow_trace() will print nonsense when it tries to print the flow type. There's no reason the setsockopt() has to happen before initialising the flow entry, so just move it after.

* tcp_splice: Simplify clean up logicDavid Gibson2024-02-291-15/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently tcp_splice_flow_defer() contains specific logic to determine if we're far enough initialised that we need to close pipes and/or sockets. This is potentially fragile if we change something about the order in which we do things. We can simplify this by initialising the pipe and socket fields to -1 very early, then close()ing them if and only if they're non-negative. This lets us remove a special case cleanup if our connect() fails. This will already trigger a CLOSING event, and the socket fd in question is populated in the connection structure. Thus we can let the new cleanup logic handle it rather than requiring an explicit close(). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tcp, udp: Don't precompute port remappings in epoll referencesDavid Gibson2024-02-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The epoll references for both TCP listening sockets and UDP sockets includes a port number. This gives the destination port that traffic to that socket will be sent to on the other side. That will usually be the same as the socket's bound port, but might not if the -t, -u, -T or -U options are given with different original and forwarded port numbers. As we move towards a more flexible forwarding model for passt, it's going to become possible for that destination port to vary depending on more things (for example the source or destination address). So, it will no longer make sense to have a fixed value for a listening socket. Change to simpler semantics where this field in the reference gives the bound port of the socket. We apply the translations to the correct destination port later on, when we're actually forwarding.

* inany: Introduce union sockaddr_inanyDavid Gibson2024-02-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of places where we want to handle either a sockaddr_in or a sockaddr_in6. In some of those we use a void *, which works ok and matches some standard library interfaces, but doesn't give a signature level hint that we're dealing with only sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6, not (say) sockaddr_un or another type of socket address. Other places we use a sockaddr_storage, which also works, but has the same problem in addition to allocating more on the stack than we need to. Introduce union sockaddr_inany to explictly handle this case: it has variants for sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6. Use it in a number of places where it's easy to do so.

* tcp, tcp_splice: Helpers for getting sockets from the poolsDavid Gibson2024-02-271-23/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We maintain pools of ready-to-connect sockets in both the original and (for pasta) guest namespace to reduce latency when starting new TCP connections. If we exhaust those pools we have to take a higher latency path to get a new socket. Currently we open-code that fallback in the places we need it. To improve clarity encapsulate that into helper functions. While we're at it, give those helpers clearer error reporting.

* tcp, tcp_splice: Issue warnings if unable to refill socket poolDavid Gibson2024-02-271-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently if tcp_sock_refill_pool() is unable to fill all the slots in the pool, it will silently exit. This might lead to a later attempt to get fds from the pool to fail at which point it will be harder to tell what originally went wrong. Instead add warnings if we're unable to refill any of the socket pools when requested. We have tcp_sock_refill_pool() return an error and report it in the callers, because those callers have more context allowing for a more useful message.

* flow: Avoid moving flow entries to compact tableDavid Gibson2024-01-221-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we always keep the flow table maximally compact: that is all the active entries are contiguous at the start of the table. Doing this sometimes requires moving an entry when one is freed. That's kind of fiddly, and potentially expensive: it requires updating the hash table for the new location, and depending on flow type, it may require EPOLL_CTL_MOD, system calls to update epoll tags with the new location too. Implement a new way of managing the flow table that doesn't ever move entries. It attempts to maintain some compactness by always using the first free slot for a new connection, and mitigates the effect of non compactness by cheaply skipping over contiguous blocks of free entries. See the "theory of operation" comment in flow.c for details.

* flow: Enforce that freeing of closed flows must happen in deferred handlersDavid Gibson2024-01-221-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, flows are only evern finally freed (and the table compacted) from the deferred handlers. Some future ways we want to optimise managing the flow table will rely on this, so enforce it: rather than having the TCP code directly call flow_table_compact(), add a boolean return value to the per-flow deferred handlers. If true, this indicates that the flow code itself should free the flow. This forces all freeing of flows to occur during the flow code's scan of the table in flow_defer_handler() which opens possibilities for future optimisations.

* flow: Move flow_count from context structure to a globalDavid Gibson2024-01-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In general, the passt code is a bit haphazard about what's a true global variable and what's in the quasi-global 'context structure'. The flow_count field is one such example: it's in the context structure, although it's really part of the same data structure as flowtab[], which is a genuine global. Move flow_count to be a regular global to match. For now it needs to be public, rather than static, but we expect to be able to change that in future.

* tcp, tcp_splice: Avoid double layered dispatch for connected TCP socketsDavid Gibson2024-01-221-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently connected TCP sockets have the same epoll type, whether they're for a "tap" connection or a spliced connection. This means that tcp_sock_handler() has to do a secondary check on the type of the connection to call the right function.

* tcp, tcp_splice: Remove redundant handling from tcp_timer()David Gibson2024-01-221-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_timer() scans the connection table, expiring "tap" connections and calling tcp_splice_timer() for "splice" connections. tcp_splice_timer() expires spliced connections and then does some other processing. However, tcp_timer() is always called shortly after tcp_defer_handler() (from post_handler()), which also scans the flow table expiring both tap and spliced connections. So remove the redundant handling, and only do the extra tcp_splice_timer() work from tcp_timer().

* flow: Make flow_table.h #include the protocol specific headers it needsDavid Gibson2024-01-221-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flow_table.h, the lower level flow header relies on having the struct definitions for every protocol specific flow type - so far that means tcp_conn.h. It doesn't include it itself, so tcp_conn.h must be included before flow_table.h. That's ok for now, but as we use the flow table for more things, flow_table.h will need the structs for all of them, which means the protocol specific .c files would need to include tcp_conn.h _and_ the equivalents for every other flow type before flow_table.h every time, which is weird. So, although we *mostly* lean towards the include style where .c files need to handle the include dependencies, in this case it makes more sense to have flow_table.h include all the protocol specific headers it needs.

* flow,tcp: Use epoll_ref type including flow and sideDavid Gibson2023-12-041-25/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tcp_splice: Use unsigned to represent sideDavid Gibson2023-12-041-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we use 'int' values to represent the "side" of a connection, which must always be 0 or 1. This turns out to be dangerous. In some cases we're going to want to put the side into a 1-bit bitfield. However, if that bitfield has type 'int', when we copy it out to a regular 'int' variable, it will be sign-extended and so have values 0 and -1, instead of 0 and 1. To avoid this, always use unsigned variables for the side. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* flow,tcp: Generalise TCP epoll_ref to generic flowsDavid Gibson2023-12-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Gibson2023-12-041-35/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | tcp_table_compact() will move entries in the connection/flow table to keep it compact when other entries are removed.

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.

* tcp_splice: Don't pool pipes in pairsDavid Gibson2023-11-071-29/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To reduce latencies, the tcp splice code maintains a pool of pre-opened pipes to use for new connections. This is structured as an array of pairs of pipes, with each pipe, of course, being a pair of fds. Thus when we use the pool, a single pool "slot" provides both the a->b and b->a pipes. There's no strong reason to store the pool in pairs, though - we can with not much difficulty instead take the a->b and b->a pipes for a new connection independently from separate slots in the pool, or even take one from the the pool and create the other as we need it, if there's only one pipe left in the pool. This marginally increases the length of code, but simplifies the structure of the pipe pool. We should be able to re-shrink the code with later changes, too. In the process we also fix some minor bugs: - If we both failed to find a pipe in the pool and to create a new one, we didn't log an error and would silently drop the connection. That could make debugging such a situation difficult. Add in an error message for that case - When refilling the pool, if we were only able to open a single pipe in the pair, we attempted to rollback, but instead of closing the opened pipe, we instead closed the pipe we failed to open (probably leading to some ignored EBADFD errors).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() removes both sockets from the epoll set if called when conn->flags & CLOSING. This will always happen immediately after setting that flag, since conn_flag_do() makes the call itself. That's also the _only_ time it can happen: we perform the EPOLL_CTL_DEL without clearing the conn->in_epoll flag, meaning that any further calls to tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() would attempt EPOLL_CTL_MOD, which would necessarily fail since the fds are no longer in the epoll. The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path in tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() has essentially zero overlap with anything else the function does, so just move them to be open coded in conn_flag_do(). This does require kernel 2.6.9 or later, in order to pass NULL as the event structure for epoll_ctl(). However, we already require at least 3.13 to allow unprivileged user namespaces.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we get an error from epoll_ctl() in tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() we goto the 'delete' path where we remove both sockets from the epoll set and return an error. There are several problems with this: - We 'return -errno' after the EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations, which means the deleting epoll_ctl() calls may have overwritten the errno values which actually triggered the failures. - The call from conn_flag_do() occurs when the CLOSING flag is set, in which case we go do the delete path regardless of error. In that case the 'return errno' is meaningless since we don't expect the EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations to fail and we ignore the return code anyway. - All other calls to tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() check the return code and if non-zero immediately call conn_flag(..., CLOSING) which will call tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() again explicitly to remove the sockets from epoll. That means removing them when the error first occurs is redundant. - We never specifically report an error on the epoll_ctl() operations. We just set the connection to CLOSING, more or less silently killing it. This could make debugging difficult in the unlikely even that we get a failure here. Re-organise tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() to just log a message then return in the error case, and only EPOLL_CTL_DEL when explicitly asked to with the CLOSING flag.

* tcp_splice: Remove redundant tcp_splice_epoll_ctl()David Gibson2023-11-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_splice_conn_update() calls tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() twice: first ignoring the return value, then checking it. This serves no purpose. If the first call succeeds, the second call will do exactly the same thing again, since nothing has changed in conn. If the first call fails, then tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() itself will EPOLL_CTL_DEL both fds, meaning when the second call tries to EPOLL_CTL_MOD them it will necessarily fail. It appears that this duplication was introduced by accident in an otherwise unrelated patch.

* pif: Record originating pif in listening socket refsDavid Gibson2023-11-071-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | For certain socket types, we record in the epoll ref whether they're sockets in the namespace, or on the host. We now have the notion of "pif" to indicate what "place" a socket is associated with, so generalise the simple one-bit 'ns' to a pif id.

* siphash: Use incremental rather than all-at-once siphash functionsDavid Gibson2023-09-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* Avoid shadowing index(3)David Gibson2023-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Remove broken pressure calculations for tcp_defer_handler()David Gibson2023-08-221-2/+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.

* tcp: Move in_epoll flag out of common connection structureDavid Gibson2023-08-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The in_epoll boolean is one of only two fields (currently) in the common structure shared between tap and spliced connections. It seems like it belongs there, because both tap and spliced connections use it, and it has roughly the same meaning. Roughly, however, isn't exactly: which fds this flag says are in the epoll varies between the two connection types, and are in type specific fields. So, it's only possible to meaningfully use this value locally in type specific code anyway. This common field is going to get in the way of more widespread generalisation of connection / flow tracking, so move it to separate fields in the tap and splice specific structures.

* epoll: Split handling of listening TCP sockets into their own handlerDavid Gibson2023-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_sock_handler() handles both listening TCP sockets, and connected TCP sockets, but what it needs to do in those cases has essentially nothing in common. Therefore, give listening sockets their own epoll_type value and dispatch directly to their own handler from the top level. Furthermore, the two handlers need essentially entirely different information from the reference: we re-(ab)used the index field in the tcp_epoll_ref to indicate the port for the listening socket, but that's not the same meaning. So, switch listening sockets to their own reference type which we can lay out as we please. That lets us remove the listen and outbound fields from the normal (connected) tcp_epoll_ref, reducing it to just the connection table index.

* epoll: Generalize epoll_ref to cover things other than socketsDavid Gibson2023-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The epoll_ref type includes fields for the IP protocol of a socket, and the socket fd. However, we already have a few things in the epoll which aren't protocol sockets, and we may have more in future. Rename these fields to an abstract "fd type" and file descriptor for more generality. Similarly, rather than using existing IP protocol numbers for the type, introduce our own number space. For now these just correspond to the supported protocols, but we'll expand on that in future.
