66a02c9f7c tcp_splice: Use parameterised macros for per-side event/flag bits
Both the events and flags fields in tcp_splice_conn have several bits
which are per-side, e.g. OUT_WAIT_0 for side 0 and OUT_WAIT_1 for side 1.
This necessitates some rather awkward ternary expressions when we need
to get the relevant bit for a particular side.

Simplify this by using a parameterised macro for the bit values.  This
needs a ternary expression inside the macros, but makes the places we use
it substantially clearer.

That simplification in turn allows us to use a loop across each side to
implement several things which are currently open coded to do equivalent
things for each side in turn.

71d7985188 flow, tcp_splice: Prefer 'sidei' for variables referring to side index
In various places we have variables named 'side' or similar which always
have the value 0 or 1 (INISIDE or TGTSIDE).  Given a flow, this refers to
a specific side of it.  Upcoming flow table work will make it more useful
for "side" to refer to a specific side of a specific flow.  To make things
less confusing then, prefer the name term "side index" and name 'sidei' for
variables with just the 0 or 1 value.

9b125e7776 flow, icmp, tcp: Clean up helpers for getting flow from index
TCP (both regular and spliced) and ICMP both have macros to retrieve the
relevant protcol specific flow structure from a flow index.  In most cases
what we actually want is to get the specific flow from a sidx.  Replace
those simple macros with a more precise inline, which also asserts that
the flow is of the type we expect.

While we're they're also add a pif_at_sidx() helper to get the interface of
a specific flow & side, which is useful in some places.

Finally, fix some minor style issues in the comments on some of the
existing sidx related helpers.

2fa91ee391 udp: Handle errors on UDP sockets
Currently we ignore all events other than EPOLLIN on UDP sockets.  This
means that if we ever receive an EPOLLERR event, we'll enter an infinite
loop on epoll, because we'll never do anything to clear the error.

Luckily that doesn't seem to have happened in practice, but it's certainly
fragile.  Furthermore changes in how we handle UDP sockets with the flow
table mean we will start receiving error events.

Add handling of EPOLLERR events.  For now we just read the error from the
error queue (thereby clearing the error state) and print a debug message.
We can add more substantial handling of specific events in future if we
want to.

a few cases where we might legitimately have either an AF_UNSPEC or a real

4e1f850f61 udp, tcp: Tweak handling of no_udp and no_tcp flags
We abort the UDP socket handler if the no_udp flag is set.  But if UDP
was disabled we should never have had a UDP socket to trigger the handler
in the first place.  If we somehow did, ignoring it here isn't really going
to help because aborting without doing anything is likely to lead to an
epoll loop.  The same is the case for the TCP socket and timer handlers and
the no_tcp flag.

Change these checks on the flag to ASSERT()s.  Similarly add ASSERT()s to
several other entry points to the protocol specific code which should never
be called if the protocol is disabled.

However, when this is specified, it's still possible to configure forwarded

a740e16fd1 tcp: handle shrunk window advertisements from guest
A bug in kernel TCP may lead to a deadlock where a zero window is sent
from the guest peer, while it is unable to send out window updates even
after socket reads have freed up enough buffer space to permit a larger
window. In this situation, new window advertisements from the peer can
only be triggered by data packets arriving from this side.

However, currently such packets are never sent, because the zero-window
condition prevents this side from sending out any packets whatsoever
to the peer.

We notice that the above bug is triggered *only* after the peer has
dropped one or more arriving packets because of severe memory squeeze,
and that we hence always enter a retransmission situation when this
occurs. This also means that the implementation goes against the
RFC-9293 recommendation that a previously advertised window never
should shrink.

RFC-9293 seems to permit that we can continue sending up to the right
edge of the last advertised non-zero window in such situations, so that
is what we do to resolve this situation.

It turns out that this solution is extremely simple to implememt in the
code: We just omit to save the advertised zero-window when we see that
it has shrunk, i.e., if the acknowledged sequence number in the
advertisement message is lower than that of the last data byte sent
from our side.

When that is the case, the following happens:
- The 'retr' flag in tcp_data_from_tap() will be 'false', so no
  retransmission will occur at this occasion.
- The data stream will soon reach the right edge of the previously
  advertised window. In fact, in all observed cases we have seen that
  it is already there when the zero-advertisement arrives.
- At that moment, the flags STALLED and ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE will be set,
  unless they already have been, meaning that only the next timer
  expiration will open for data retransmission or transmission.
- When that happens, the memory squeeze at the guest will normally have
  abated, and the data flow can resume.

It should be noted that although this solves the problem we have at
hand, it is a work-around, and not a genuine solution to the described
kernel bug.

e63d281871 tcp: leverage support of SO_PEEK_OFF socket option when available
>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.

299c407501 doc: Add program to document and test assumptions about SO_REUSEADDR
For the approach we intend to use for handling UDP flows, we have some
pretty specific requirements about how SO_REUSEADDR works with UDP sockets.
Specifically SO_REUSEADDR allows multiple sockets with overlapping bind()s,
and therefore there can be multiple sockets which are eligible to receive
the same datagram.  Which one will actually receive it is important to us.

Add a test program which verifies things work the way we expect, which
documents what those expectations are in the process.

be0214cca6 udp: Consolidate datagram batching
When we receive datagrams on a socket, we need to split them into batches
depending on how they need to be forwarded (either via a specific splice
socket, or via tap).  The logic to do this, is somewhat awkwardly split
between udp_buf_sock_handler() itself, udp_splice_send() and
udp_tap_send().

Move all the batching logic into udp_buf_sock_handler(), leaving
udp_splice_send() to just send the prepared batch.  udp_tap_send() reduces
to just a call to tap_send_frames() so open-code that call in
udp_buf_sock_handler().

This will allow separating the batching logic from the rest of the datagram
forwarding logic, which we'll need for upcoming flow table support.

  4. Actually send it onwards

Split (1) and (3) into specific helper functions.  This isn't

9f9b15f949 udp: Unify udp[46]_mh_splice
We have separate mmsghdr arrays for splicing IPv4 and IPv6 packets, where
the only difference is that they point to different sockaddr buffers for
the destination address.

Unify these by having the common array point at a sockaddr_inany as the
address.  This does mean slightly more work when we're about to splice,
because we need to write the whole socket address, rather than just the
port.  However it removes 32 mmsghdr structures and we're going to need
more flexibility constructing that target address for the flow table.

Because future changes might mean that the address isn't always loopback,
change the name of the common address from *_localname  to udp_splicename.

8f8eb73482 flow: Add flow_sidx_valid() helper
To implement the TCP hash table, we need an invalid (NULL-like) value for
flow_sidx_t.  We use FLOW_SIDX_NONE for that, but for defensiveness, we
treat (usually) anything with an out of bounds flow index the same way.

That's not always done consistently though.  In flow_at_sidx() we open code
a check on the flow index.  In tcp_hash_probe() we instead compare against
FLOW_SIDX_NONE, and in some other places we use the fact that
flow_at_sidx() will return NULL in this case, even if we don't otherwise
need the flow it returns.

Clean this up a bit, by adding an explicit flow_sidx_valid() test function.

afd9cdc9bb log, passt: Always print to stderr before initialisation is complete
After commit 15001b39ef ("conf: set the log level much earlier"), we
had a phase during initialisation when messages wouldn't be printed to
standard error anymore.

Commit f67238aa86 ("passt, log: Call __openlog() earlier, log to
stderr until we detach") fixed that, but only for the case where no
log files are given.

If a log file is configured, vlogmsg() will not call passt_vsyslog(),
but during initialisation, LOG_PERROR is set, so to avoid duplicated
prints (which would result from passt_vsyslog() printing to stderr),
we don't call fprintf() from vlogmsg() either.

This is getting a bit too complicated. Instead of abusing LOG_PERROR,
define an internal logging flag that clearly represents that we're not
done with the initialisation phase yet.

If this flag is not set, make sure we always print to stderr, if the
log mask matches.

bca0fefa32 conf, passt: Make --stderr do nothing, and deprecate it
The original behaviour of printing messages to standard error by
default when running from a non-interactive terminal was introduced
because the first KubeVirt integration draft used to start passt in
foreground and get messages via standard error.

For development purposes, the system logger was more convenient at
that point, and passt was running from interactive terminals only if
not started by the KubeVirt integration.

This behaviour was introduced by 84a62b79a2 ("passt: Also log to
stderr, don't fork to background if not interactive").

Later, I added command-line options in 1e49d194d0 ("passt, pasta:
Introduce command-line options and port re-mapping") and accidentally
reversed this condition, which wasn't a problem as --stderr could
force printing to standard error anyway (and it was used by KubeVirt).

Nowadays, the KubeVirt integration uses a log file (requested via
libvirt configuration), and the same applies for Podman if one
actually needs to look at runtime logs. There are no use cases left,
as far as I know, where passt runs in foreground in non-interactive
terminals.

Seize the chance to reintroduce some sanity here. If we fork to
background, standard error is closed, so --stderr is useless in that
case.

If we run in foreground, there's no harm in printing messages to
standard error, and that accidentally became the default behaviour
anyway, so --stderr is not needed in that case.

It would be needed for non-interactive terminals, but there are no
use cases, and if there were, let's log to standard error anyway:
the user can always redirect standard error to /dev/null if needed.

Before we're up and running, we need to print to standard error anyway
if something happens, otherwise we can't report failure to start in
any kind of usage, stand-alone or in integrations.

So, make --stderr do nothing, and deprecate it.

While at it, drop a left-over comment about --foreground being the
default only for interactive terminals, because it's not the case
anymore.

b74801645c conf, passt: Don't try to log to stderr after we close it
If we don't run in foreground, we close standard error as we
daemonise, so it makes no sense to check if the controlling terminal
is an interactive terminal or if --force-stderr was given, to decide
if we want to log to standard error.

Make --force-stderr depend on --foreground.

65923ba798 conf: Accept duplicate and conflicting options, the last one wins
In multiple occasions, especially when passt(1) and pasta(1) are used
in integrations such as the one with Podman, the ability to override
earlier options on the command line with later one would have been
convenient.

Recently, to debug a number of issues happening with Podman, I would
have liked to ask users to share a debug log by passing --debug as
additional option, but pasta refuses --quiet (always passed by Podman)
and --debug at the same time.

On top of this, Podman lets users specify other pasta options in its
containers.conf(5) file, as well as on the command line.

The options from the configuration files are appended together with
the ones from the command line, which makes it impossible for users to
override options from the configuration file, if duplicated options
are refused, unless Podman takes care of sorting them, which is
clearly not sustainable.

For --debug and --trace, somebody took care of this on Podman side at:
  https://github.com/containers/common/pull/2052

but this doesn't fix the issue with other options, and we'll have
anyway older versions of Podman around, too.

I think there's some value in telling users about duplicated or
conflicting options, because that might reveal issues in integrations
or accidental misconfigurations, but by now I'm fairly convinced that
the downsides outweigh this.

Drop checks about duplicate options and mutually exclusive ones. In
some cases, we need to also undo a couple of initialisations caused
by earlier options, but this looks like a simplification, overall.

Notable exception: --stderr still conflicts with --log-file, because
users might have the expectation that they don't actually conflict.
But they do conflict in the existing implementation, so it's safer
to make sure that the users notice that.

f301bb18b5 netlink: Ignore EHOSTUNREACH failures when duplicating routes
To implicitly resolve possible dependencies between routes as we
duplicate them into the target namespace, we go through a set of n
routes n times, and ignore EEXIST responses to netlink messages (we
already inserted the route) and ENETUNREACH (we didn't insert the
route yet, but we need to insert another one first).

Until now, we didn't ignore EHOSTUNREACH responses. However,
NetworkManager users with multiple non-subnet routes for the same
interface report that pasta exits with "no route to host" while
duplicating routes.

This happens because NetworkManager sets the 'noprefixroute' attribute
on addresses, meaning that the kernel won't create subnet routes
automatically depending on the prefix length of the address. We copy
this attribute as we copy the address into the target namespace, and
as a result, the kernel doesn't create subnet routes in the target
namespace either.

This means that the gateway for routes that are inserted later can be
unreachable at some points during the sequence of route duplication.
That is, we don't just have dependencies between regular routes, but
we can also have dependencies between regular routes and subnet
routes, as subnet routes are not automatically inserted in advance.

450a6131be netlink: With no default route, pick the first interface with a route
While commit f919dc7a4b ("conf, netlink: Don't require a default
route to start") sounded reasonable in the assumption that, if we
don't find default routes for a given address family, we can still
proceed by selecting an interface with any route *iff it's the only
one for that protocol family*, Jelle reported a further issue in a
similar setup.

There, multiple interfaces are present, and while remote container
connectivity doesn't matter for the container, local connectivity is
desired. There are no default routes, but those multiple interfaces
all have non-default routes, so we should just pick one and start.

Pick the first interface reported by the kernel with any route, if
there are no default routes. There should be no harm in doing so.

54a9d3801b tcp: Don't rely on bind() to fail to decide that connection target is valid
Commit e1a2e2780c ("tcp: Check if connection is local or low RTT
was seen before using large MSS") added a call to bind() before we
issue a connect() to the target for an outbound connection.

If bind() fails, but neither with EADDRNOTAVAIL, nor with EACCESS, we
can conclude that the target address is a local (host) address, and we
can use an unlimited MSS.

While at it, according to the reasoning of that commit, if bind()
succeeds, we would know right away that nobody is listening at that
(local) address and port, and we don't even need to call connect(): we
can just fail early and reset the connection attempt.

But if non-local binds are enabled via net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind or
net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl, binding to a non-local address will
actually succeed, so we can't rely on it to fail in general.

The visible issue with the existing behaviour is that we would reset
any outbound connection to non-local addresses, if non-local binds are
enabled.

Keep the significant optimisation for local addresses along with the
bind() call, but if it succeeds, don't draw any conclusion: close the
socket, grab another one, and proceed normally.

This will incur a small latency penalty if non-local binds are
enabled (we'll likely fetch an existing socket from the pool but
additionally call close()), or if the target is local but not bound:
we'll need to call connect() and get a failure before relaying that
failure back.

7e87bd98ac udp: Move management of udp[46]_localname into udp_splice_send()
Mostly, udp_sock_handler() is independent of how the datagrams it processes
will be forwarded (tap or splice).  However, it also updates the msg_name
fields for spliced sends, which doesn't really make sense here.  Move it
into udp_splice_send() which is all about spliced sends.  This does
potentially mean we'll update the field to the same value several times,
but we're going to need this in future anyway: with the extensions the
flow table allows, it might not be the same value each time after all.

ff57f8ddc6 udp: Rework how we divide queued datagrams between sending methods
udp_sock_handler() takes a number of datagrams from sockets that depending
on their addresses could be forwarded either to the L2 interface ("tap")
or to another socket ("spliced").  In the latter case we can also only
send packets together if they have the same source port, and therefore
are sent via the same socket.

To reduce the total number of system calls we gather contiguous batches of
datagrams with the same destination interface and socket where applicable.
The determination of what the target is is made by udp_mmh_splice_port().
It returns the source port for splice packets and -1 for "tap" packets.
We find batches by looking ahead in our queue until we find a datagram
whose "splicefrom" port doesn't match the first in our current batch.

udp_mmh_splice_port() is moderately expensive, and unfortunately we
can call it twice on the same datagram: once as the (last + 1) entry
in one batch (to check it's not in that batch), then again as the
first entry in the next batch.

Avoid this by keeping track of the "splice port" in the metadata structure,
and filling it in one entry ahead of the one we're currently considering.
This is a bit subtle, but not that hard.  It will also generalise better
when we have more complex possibilities based on the flow table.

63db7dcdbf udp: Fold checking of splice flag into udp_mmh_splice_port()
udp_mmh_splice_port() is used to determine if a UDP datagram can be
"spliced" (forwarded via a socket instead of tap).  We only invoke it if
the origin socket has the 'splice' flag set.

Fold the checking of the flag into the helper itself, which makes the
caller simpler.  It does mean we have a loop looking for a batch of
spliceable or non-spliceable packets even in the case where the flag is
clear.  This shouldn't be that expensive though, since each call to
udp_mmh_splice_port() will return without accessing memory in that case.
In any case we're going to need a similar loop in more cases with upcoming
flow table work.

523fbc5af7 util: Split construction of bind socket address from the rest of sock_l4()
sock_l4() creates, binds and otherwise prepares a new socket.  It builds
the socket address to bind from separately provided address and port.
However, we have use cases coming up where it's more natural to construct
the socket address in the caller.

Prepare for this by adding sock_l4_sa() which takes a pre-constructed
socket address, and rewriting sock_l4() in terms of it.
