Commit 89e38f55 "treewide: Fix header includes to build with musl" added
extra #includes to work with musl. Unfortunately with the cppcheck version
I'm using (cppcheck-2.9-1.fc37.x86_64 in Fedora 37) this causes weird false
positives: specifically cppcheck seems to hit a #error in <bits/unistd.h>
complaining about including it directly instead of via <unistd.h> (which is
not something we're doing).
I have no idea why that would be happening; but I'm guessing it has to be
a bug in the cpp implementation in that cppcheck version. In any case,
it's possible to work around this by moving the include of <unistd.h>
before the include of <signal.h>. So, do that.

The logic in tcp_timer() was inverted. fwd_out should expose the host
ports in the ns. Therfore it must read the ports on the host and then
bind them in the netns. The same for fwd_in which checks ports in the
ns and then exposes them on the host.
Note that this only fixes tcp ports, udp does not seems to work at all
right now with the auto mode.

Tom reports that a pattern of repated ~1 MiB chunks downloads over
NNTP over TLS, on Podman 4.4 using pasta as network back-end, results
in pasta taking one full CPU thread after a while, and the download
never succeeds.
On that setup, we end up re-sending the same frame over and over,
with a consistent 65 534 bytes size, and never get an
acknowledgement from the tap-side client. This only happens for the
default MTU value (65 520 bytes) or for values that are slightly
smaller than that (down to 64 499 bytes).
We hit this condition because the MSS value we use in
tcp_data_from_sock(), only in pasta mode, is simply clamped to
USHRT_MAX, and not to the actual size of the buffers we pre-cooked
for sending, which is a bit less than that.
It looks like we got away with it until commit 0fb7b2b908 ("tap:
Use different io vector bases depending on tap type") fixed the
setting of iov_len.
Luckily, since it's pasta, we're queueing up to two frames at a time,
so the worst that can happen is a badly segmented TCP stream: we
always have some space at the tail of the buffer.
Clamp the MSS value to the appropriate maximum given by struct
tcp{4,6}_buf_data_t, no matter if we're running in pasta or passt
mode.
While at it, fix the comments to those structs to reflect the current
struct size. This is not really relevant for any further calculation
or consideration, but it's convenient to know while debugging this
kind of issues.
Thanks to Tom for reporting the issue in a very detailed way and for
providing a test setup.

Roughly inspired from a patch by Chris Kuhn: fix up includes so that

include a larger amount of other headers.
Compared to the original patch, I only included what was needed

I didn't notice earlier: libslirp (and slirp4netns) supports binding
outbound sockets to specific IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, to force the
source addresse selection. If we want to claim feature parity, we
should implement that as well.
Further, Podman supports specifying outbound interfaces as well, but
this is simply done by resolving the primary address for an interface
when the network back-end is started. However, since kernel version
5.7, commit c427bfec18f2 ("net: core: enable SO_BINDTODEVICE for
non-root users"), we can actually bind to a specific interface name,
which doesn't need to be validated in advance.
Implement -o / --outbound ADDR to bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
and --outbound-if4 and --outbound-if6 to bind IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
to given interfaces.
Given that it probably makes little sense to select addresses and
routes from interfaces different than the ones given for outbound
sockets, also assign those as "template" interfaces, by default,
unless explicitly overridden by '-i'.
For ICMP and UDP, we call sock_l4() to open outbound sockets, as we
already needed to bind to given ports or echo identifiers, and we
can bind() a socket only once: there, pass address (if any) and
interface (if any) for the existing bind() and setsockopt() calls.
For TCP, in general, we wouldn't otherwise bind sockets. Add a
specific helper to do that.
For UDP outbound sockets, we need to know if the final destination
of the socket is a loopback address, before we decide whether it
makes sense to bind the socket at all: move the block mangling the
address destination before the creation of the socket in the IPv4
path. This was already the case for the IPv6 path.

If there are no options, tcp_opt_get() will stop right away because

Recently, commit 4ddbcb9c0c ("tcp: Disable optimisations
for tcp_hash()") worked around yet another issue we hit with gcc 12
and '-flto -O2': some stores affecting the input data to siphash_20b()
were omitted altogether, and tcp_hash() wouldn't get the correct hash
for incoming connections.
Digging further into this revealed that, at least according to gcc's
interpretation of C99 aliasing rules, passing pointers to functions
with different types compared to the effective type of the object
(for example, a uint8_t pointer to an anonymous struct, as it happens
in tcp_hash()), doesn't guarantee that stores are not reordered
across the function call.
This means that, in general, our checksum and hash functions might
not see parts of input data that was intended to be provided by
callers.
Not even switching from uint8_t to character types, which should be
appropriate here, according to C99 (ISO/IEC 9899, TC3, draft N1256),
section 6.5, "Expressions", paragraph 7:
An object shall have its stored value accessed only by an lvalue
expression that has one of the following types:
[...]
— a character type.
does the trick. I guess this is also subject to interpretation:
casting passed pointers to character types, and then using those as
different types, might still violate (dubious) aliasing rules.
Disable gcc strict aliasing rules for potentially affected functions,
which, in turn, disables gcc's Type-Based Alias Analysis (TBAA)
optimisations based on those function arguments.
Drop the existing workarounds. Also the (seemingly?) bogus
'maybe-uninitialized' warning on the tcp_tap_handler() > tcp_hash() >
siphash_20b() path goes away with -fno-strict-aliasing on

When creating a new spliced connection, we need to get a socket in the
other ns from the originating one. To avoid excessive ns switches we
usually get these from a pool refilled on a timer. However, if the pool
runs out we need a fallback. Currently that's done by passing -1 as the
socket to tcp_splice_connnect() and running it in the target ns.
This means that tcp_splice_connect() itself needs to have different cases
depending on whether it's given an existing socket or not, which is
a separate concern from what it's mostly doing. We change it to require
a suitable open socket to be passed in, and ensuring in the caller that we
have one.
This requires adding the fallback paths to the caller, tcp_splice_new().
We use slightly different approaches for a socket in the init ns versus the
guest ns.
This also means that we no longer need to run tcp_splice_connect() itself

David reports that TCP transfers might stall, especially with smaller
socket buffer sizes, because we reset the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag, in
tcp_tap_handler(), whenever we receive an ACK segment, regardless of
its sequence number and the fact that we might still be waiting for
one. This way, we might fail to re-transmit frames on ACK timeouts.
We need, instead, to:
- indicate with the @retrans field only re-transmissions for the same
data sequences. If we make progress, it should be reset, given that
it's used to abort a connection when we exceed a given number of
re-transmissions for the same data
- unset the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE flag if and only if the acknowledged
sequence is the same as the last one we sent, as suggested by David
- keep it set otherwise, if progress was done but not all the data we
sent was acknowledged, and update the expiration of the ACK timeout
Add a new helper for these purposes, tcp_update_seqack_from_tap().
To extend the ACK timeout, the new helper sets the ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE
flag, even if it was already set, and conn_flag_do() triggers a timer
update. This part should be revisited at a later time, because,
strictly speaking, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE isn't a flag anymore. One
possibility might be to introduce another connection attribute for
events affecting timer deadlines.

This does have a cost: for the spliced case, it means we now need to get

However, in future we want to allow handling IPv4 connectons through IPv6

tcp_hash_insert() takes an address to control which hash bucket the
connection will go into. However, an inany_addr representation of that
address is already stored in struct tcp_conn.
Now that we've made the hashing of IPv4 and IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
equivalent, we can simplify tcp_hash_insert() to use the address in
struct tcp_conn, rather than taking it as an extra parameter.

In the tcp_conn structure, we represent the address with an inany_addr
which could be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. However, we have different paths
which will calculate different hashes for IPv4 and equivalent IPv4-mapped
IPv6 addresses. This will cause problems for some future changes.
Make the hash function work the same for these two cases, by taking an
inany_addr directly. Since this represents IPv4 and IPv4-mapped IPv6
addresses the same way, it will trivially hash the same for both cases.
Callers are changed to construct an inany_addr from whatever they have.
Some of that will be elided in later changes.

struct tcp_conn stores an address which could be IPv6 or IPv4 using a
union. We can do this without an additional tag by encoding IPv4 addresses
as IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
This approach is useful wider than the specific place in tcp_conn, so
expose a new 'union inany_addr' like this from a new inany.h. Along with
that create a number of helper functions to make working with these "inany"
addresses easier.

Currently when we insert a connection into the hash table, we store its
bucket number so we can find it when removing entries. However, we can
recompute the hash value from other contents of the structure so we don't
need to store it. This brings the size of tcp_tap_conn down to 64 bytes
again, which means it will fit in a single cacheline on common machines.
This change also removes a non-obvious constraint that the hash table have
less than twice TCP_MAX_CONNS buckets, because of the way
TCP_HASH_BUCKET_BITS was constructed.

Currently the epoll reference for tcp sockets includes a bit indicating
whether the socket maps to a spliced connection. However, the reference
also has the index of the connection structure which also indicates whether
it is spliced. We can therefore avoid the splice bit in the epoll_ref by
unifying the first part of the non-spliced and spliced handlers where we
look up the connection state.

In pasta mode, tcp_sock_init[46]() create separate sockets to listen for
spliced connections (these are bound to localhost) and non-spliced
connections (these are bound to the host address). This introduces a
subtle behavioural difference between pasta and passt: by default, pasta
will listen only on a single host address, whereas passt will listen on
all addresses (0.0.0.0 or ::). This also prevents us using some additional
optimizations that only work with the unspecified (0.0.0.0 or ::) address.
However, it turns out we don't need to do this. We can splice a connection
if and only if it originates from the loopback address. Currently we
ensure this by having the "spliced" listening sockets listening only on
loopback. Instead, defer the decision about whether to splice a connection
until after accept(), by checking if the connection was made from the
loopback address.
