pcapm() captures multiple frames from a msghdr, however the only thing it

qemu vnet_len rather than the frame proper.

forward packets to the tuntap interface. The other listens on localhost

Now that we've improved the logic about whether we "splice" any individual

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_sock_handler_splice() reads a whole batch of datagrams at once with
recvmmsg(). It then forwards them all via a single socket on the other
side, based on the source port.
However, it's entirely possible that the datagrams in the set have
different source ports, and thus ought to be forwarded via different
sockets on the destination side. In fact this situation arises with the
iperf -P4 throughput tests in our own test suite. AFAICT we only get away
with this because iperf3 is strictly one way and doesn't send reply packets
which would be misdirected because of the incorrect source ports.
Alter udp_sock_handler_splice() to split the packets it receives into
batches with the same source address and send each batch with a separate
sendmmsg().
For now we only look for already contiguous batches, which means that if
there are multiple active flows interleaved this is likely to degenerate
to batches of size 1. For now this is the simplest way to correct the

A UDP pseudo-connection between port A in the init namespace and port B in

and udp_splice_ns[v6][A]. The socket which originated this "connection"
will be permanent but the other one will be closed on a timeout.
When we get a packet from the originating socket, we update the timeout on
the other socket, but we don't do the same when we get a reply packet from
the other socket. However any activity on the "connection" probably
indicates that it's still in use. Without this we could incorrectly time
out a "connection" if it's using a protocol which involves a single
initiating packet, but which then gets continuing replies from the target.

sockets which is unnecessary, but harmless.

pasta handles "spliced" port forwarding by resending datagrams received on

originating datagram. That's also the destination port of the forwarded
datagram, but the source port of the forwarded datagram is the kernel

However, by bind()ing as well as connect()ing the forwarding socket we can

the original source port we remove that surprising third port number and
no longer need to store port numbers in struct udp_splice_port.

Currently, when instructed to open an IPv6 socket, sock_l4() explicitly
sets the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option so that the socket will only respond to
IPv6 connections. Linux (and probably other platforms) allow "dual stack"
sockets: IPv6 sockets which can also accept IPv4 connections.
Extend sock_l4() to be able to make such sockets, by passing AF_UNSPEC as
the address family and no bind address (binding to a specific address would
defeat the purpose). We add a Makefile define 'DUAL_STACK_SOCKETS' to
indicate availability of this feature on the target platform.

Previous cleanups mean that tcp_sock_init4() and tcp_sock_init6() are
almost identical, and the remaining differences can be easily
parameterized. Combine both into a single tcp_sock_init_af() function.
