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

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.

tcp_sock_init*() can create either sockets listening on the host, or in

of differences in how these two cases work in practice though. "ns"
sockets are only used in pasta mode, and they always lead to spliced
connections only. The functions are also only ever called in "ns" mode
with a NULL address and interface name, and it doesn't really make sense

Currently spliced and non-spliced connections are stored in completely
separate tables, so there are completely independent limits on the number
of spliced and non-spliced connections. This is a bit counter-intuitive.
More importantly, the fact that the tables are separate prevents us from
unifying some other logic between the two cases. So, merge these two
tables into one, using the 'c.spliced' common field to distinguish between
them when necessary.
For now we keep a common limit of 128k connections, whether they're spliced
or non-spliced, which means we save memory overall. If necessary we could
increase this to a 256k or higher total, which would cost memory but give
some more flexibility.
For now, the code paths which need to step through all extant connections
are still separate for the two cases, just skipping over entries which

If we disable a given IP version automatically (no corresponding

We recently corrected some errors handling the endianness of IPv4

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.

If the user specifies an explicit loopback address for a port
binding, we're going to use that address for the 'tap' socket, and
the same exact address for the 'spliced' socket (because those are,
by definition, only bound to loopback addresses).
This means that the second binding will fail, and, unexpectedly, the
port is forwarded, but via tap device, which means the source address
in the namespace won't be a loopback address.
Make it explicit under which conditions we're creating which kind of
socket, by refactoring tcp_sock_init() into two separate functions
for IPv4 and IPv6 and gathering those conditions at the beginning.
Also, don't create spliced sockets if the user specifies explicitly
a non-loopback address, those are harmless but not desired either.

destination port is remapped, because we'll check the bitmap of
inbound ports using the remapped port (stored in the epoll reference)

Instead of using the port bitmap for this purpose, store this

bit, that's set if the listening socket was created the namespace,
and unset otherwise.
Then, use this bit to pick a socket on the right side.

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

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

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.

Since these functions may also initialize the interface index for each
protocol, it turns out we can then drop c->v4 and c->v6 entirely, replacing
tests on those with tests on whether c->ifi4 or c->ifi6 is non-zero (since
