* tcp, udp: Don't pre-fill IPv4 destination address in headersDavid Gibson2023-08-221-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because packets sent on the tap interface will always be going to the guest/namespace, we more-or-less know what address they'll be going to. So we pre-fill this destination address in our header buffers for IPv4. We can't do the same for IPv6 because we could need either the global or link-local address for the guest. In future we're going to want more flexibility for the destination address, so this pre-filling will get in the way. Change the flow so we always fill in the IPv4 destination address for each packet, rather than prefilling it from proto_update_l2_buf(). In fact for TCP we already redundantly filled the destination for each packet anyway. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* tap: Pass source address to protocol handler functionsDavid Gibson2023-08-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The tap code passes the IPv4 or IPv6 destination address of packets it receives to the protocol specific code. Currently that protocol code doesn't use the source address, but we want it to in future. So, in preparation, pass the IPv4/IPv6 source address of tap packets to those functions as well.

* Use C11 anonymous members to make poll refs less verbose to useDavid Gibson2023-08-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | union epoll_ref has a deeply nested set of structs and unions to let us subdivide it into the various different fields we want. This means that referencing elements can involve an awkward long string of intermediate fields. Using C11 anonymous structs and unions lets us do this less clumsily.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not suitable to be executed over a computer network. Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility dilemmas.

* conf, tcp, udp: Exit if we fail to bind sockets for all given portsStefano Brivio2023-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | passt supports ranges of forwarded ports as well as 'all' for TCP and UDP, so it might be convenient to proceed if we fail to bind only some of the desired ports. But if we fail to bind even a single port for a given specification, we're clearly, unexpectedly, conflicting with another network service. In that case, report failure and exit.

* udp: Use tap_send_frames()David Gibson2023-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To send frames on the tap interface, the UDP uses a fairly complicated two level batching. First multiple frames are gathered into a single "message" for the qemu stream socket, then multiple messages are send with sendmmsg(). We now have tap_send_frames() which already deals with sending a number of frames, including batching and handling partial sends. Use that to considerably simplify things. This does make a couple of behavioural changes: * We used to split messages to keep them under 32kiB (except when a single frame was longer than that). The comments claim this is needed to stop qemu from closing the connection, but we don't have any equivalent logic for TCP. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with this series, although it was apparently easy to reproduce earlier. My suspicion is that there was never an inherent need to keep messages small, however with larger messages (and default kernel buffer sizes) the chances of needing more than one resend for partial send()s is greatly increased. We used not to correctly handle that case of multiple resends, but now we do. * Previously when we got a partial send on UDP, we would resend the remainder of the entire "message", including multiple frames. The common code now only resends the remainder of a single frame, simply dropping any frames which weren't even partially sent. This is what TCP always did and is probably a better idea for UDP too.

* udp: Decide whether to "splice" per datagram rather than per socketDavid Gibson2023-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have special sockets for receiving datagrams from locahost which can use the optimized "splice" path rather than going across the tap interface. We want to loosen this so that sockets can receive sockets that will be forwarded by both the spliced and non-spliced paths. To do this, we alter the meaning of the @splice bit in the reference to mean that packets receieved on this socket *can* be spliced, not that they *will* be spliced. They'll only actually be spliced if they come from 127.0.0.1 or ::1. We can't (for now) remove the splice bit entirely, unlike with TCP. Our gateway mapping means that if the ns initiates communication to the gw address, we'll translate that to target 127.0.0.1 on the host side. Reply packets will therefore have source address 127.0.0.1 when received on the host, but these need to go via the tap path where that will be translated back to the gateway address. We need the @splice bit to distinguish that case from packets going from localhost to a port mapped explicitly with -u which should be spliced.

* udp: Split splice field in udp_epoll_ref into (mostly) independent bitsDavid Gibson2022-12-061-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The @splice field in union udp_epoll_ref can have a number of values for different types of "spliced" packet flows. Split it into several single bit fields with more or less independent meanings. The new @splice field is just a boolean indicating whether the socket is associated with a spliced flow, making it identical to the @splice fiend in tcp_epoll_ref. The new bit @orig, indicates whether this is a socket which can originate new udp packet flows (created with -u or -U) or a socket created on the fly to handle reply socket. @ns indicates whether the socket lives in the init namespace or the pasta namespace. Making these bits more orthogonal to each other will simplify some future cleanups. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* 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>

* Fix widespread off-by-one error dealing with port numbersDavid Gibson2022-09-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Port numbers (for both TCP and UDP) are 16-bit, and so fit exactly into a 'short'. USHRT_MAX is therefore the maximum port number and this is widely used in the code. Unfortunately, a lot of those places don't actually want the maximum port number (USHRT_MAX == 65535), they want the total number of ports (65536). This leads to a number of potentially nasty consequences: * We have buffer overruns on the port_fwd::delta array if we try to use port 65535 * We have similar potential overruns for the tcp_sock_* arrays * Interestingly udp_act had the correct size, but we can calculate it in a more direct manner * We have a logical overrun of the ports bitmap as well, although it will just use an unused bit in the last byte so isnt harmful * Many loops don't consider port 65535 (which does mitigate some but not all of the buffer overruns above) * In udp_invert_portmap() we incorrectly compute the reverse port translation for return packets Correct all these by using a new NUM_PORTS defined explicitly for this purpose.

* 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.

* udp: Delay initialization of UDP reversed port mapping tableDavid Gibson2022-09-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because it's connectionless, when mapping UDP ports we need, in addition to the table of deltas for destination ports needed by TCP, we need an inverted table to translate the source ports on return packets. Currently we fill out the inverted table at the same time we construct the main table in udp_remap_to_tap() and udp_remap_to_init(). However, we don't use either table until after we've initialized UDP, so we can delay the construction of the reverse table to udp_init(). This makes the configuration more symmetric between TCP and UDP which will enable further cleanups. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* Consolidate port forwarding configuration into a common structureDavid Gibson2022-09-241-10/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Brivio2022-03-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. A number of fixes pertaining to TCP state machine and congestion window handling are also included here. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/+3
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.
