Getting a SLAAC address takes a little while because the kernel must
complete Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) before marking the address as
ready. In several places we have an explicit 'sleep 2' to wait for that
to complete.
Fixed length delays are never a great idea, although this one is pretty
solid. Still, it would be better to explicitly wait for DAD to complete
in case of long delays (which might happen on slow emulated hosts, or with
heavy load), and to speed the tests up if DAD completes quicker.
Replace the fixed sleeps with a loop waiting for DAD to complete. We do
this by looping waiting for all tentative addresses to disappear.

This fixes a number of harmless but slightly ugly warts in the ARP

* Use in4addr_any to represent 0.0.0.0 rather than hand constructing an

* When comparing am->sip against 0.0.0.0 use sizeof(am->sip) instead of
sizeof(am->tip) (same value, but makes more logical sense)
* Described the guest's assigned address as such, rather than as "our

Starting from commit 9178a9e346 ("tcp: Always send an ACK segment
once the handshake is completed"), we always send an ACK segment,
without any payload, to complete the three-way handshake while
establishing a connection started from a socket.
We queue that segment after checking if we already have data to send
to the tap, which means that its sequence number is higher than any
segment with data we're sending in the same iteration, if any data is
available on the socket.
However, in tcp_defer_handler(), we first flush "flags" buffers, that
is, we send out segments without any data first, and then segments
with data, which means that our "empty" ACK is sent before the ACK
segment with data (if any), which has a lower sequence number.
This appears to be harmless as the guest or container will generally
reorder segments, but it looks rather weird and we can't exclude it's
actually causing problems.
Queue the empty ACK first, so that it gets a lower sequence number,
before checking for any data from the socket.

When redirecting DNS queries with the --dns-forward option, passt/pasta

controlled by the c->ip[46].dns_host variables. This is set to the first
first nameserver listed in the host's /etc/resolv.conf, and there isn't

Prior to 0b25cac9 ("conf: Treat --dns addresses as guest visible

-D generally takes guest side addresses, rather than host side addresses.

The sock_l4() function is very convenient for creating sockets bound to
a given address, but its interface has some problems.
Most importantly, the address and port alone aren't enough in some cases.
For link-local addresses (at least) we also need the pif in order to
properly construct a socket adddress. This case doesn't yet arise, but
it might cause us trouble in future.
Additionally, sock_l4() can take AF_UNSPEC with the special meaning that it
should attempt to create a "dual stack" socket which will respond to both
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. This only makes sense if there is no specific
address given. We verify this at runtime, but it would be nicer if we
could enforce it structurally.
For sockets associated specifically with a single flow we already replaced
sock_l4() with flowside_sock_l4() which avoids those problems. Now,
replace all the remaining users with a new pif_sock_l4() which also takes
an explicit pif.
The new function takes the address as an inany *, with NULL indicating the
dual stack case. This does add some complexity in some of the callers,
however future planned cleanups should make this go away again.

To save some kernel memory we try to use "dual stack" sockets (that listen

only do this when listening on any address. That's never true for the
ns (splicing) case, because we always listen on loopback. For the !ns
case and AF_UNSPEC case, addr should always be NULL, but add an assert to
verify.
This is harmless: if addr is non-NULL, sock_l4() will just fail and we'll
fall back to the other path. But, it's messy and makes some upcoming
changes harder, so avoid attempting this in cases we know can't work.

When available, we want to retrieve our socket peer's advertised window and
forward that to the guest. That information has been available from the
kernel via the TCP_INFO getsockopt() since kernel commit 8f7baad7f035.
Currently our probing for this is a bit odd. The HAS_SND_WND define
determines if our headers include the tcp_snd_wnd field, but that doesn't
necessarily mean the running kernel supports it. Currently we start by
assuming it's _not_ available, but mark it as available if we ever see
a non-zero value in the field. This is a bit hit and miss in two ways:
* Zero is perfectly possible window the peer could report, so we can
get false negatives
* We're reading TCP_INFO into a local variable, which might not be zero
initialised, so if the kernel _doesn't_ write it it could have non-zero
garbage, giving us false positives.
We can use a more direct way of probing for this: getsockopt() reports the
length of the information retreived. So, check whether that's long enough
to include the field. This lets us probe the availability of the field
once and for all during initialisation. That in turn allows ctx to become
a const pointer to tcp_prepare_flags() which cascades through many other
functions.
We also move the flag for the probe result from the ctx structure to a
global, to match peek_offset_cap.

tap_pasta_input() has a rather confusing structure, using two gotos.
Remove these by restructuring the function to have the main loop condition
based on filling our buffer space, with errors or running out of data
treated as the exception, rather than the other way around. This allows
us to handle the EINTR which triggered the 'restart' goto with a continue.
The outer 'redo' was triggered if we completely filled our buffer, to flush
it and do another pass. This one is unnecessary since we don't (yet) use
EPOLLET on the tap device: if there's still more data we'll get another
event and re-enter the loop.
Along the way handle a couple of extra edge cases:
- Check for EWOULDBLOCK as well as EAGAIN for the benefit of any future
ports where those might not have the same value
- Detect EOF on the tap device and exit in that case

we know at the top of the function where the initializer is, but others
that require more complex calculation.
That said, in the two places this shows up, it's pretty easy to work

Currently, for not established connections, we monitor sockets with
edge-triggered events (EPOLLET) if we are in the TAP_SYN_RCVD state
(outbound connection being established) but not in the
TAP_SYN_ACK_SENT case of it (socket is connected, and we sent SYN,ACK
to the container/guest).
While debugging https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=94, I spotted
another possibility for a short EPOLLRDHUP storm (10 seconds), which
doesn't seem to happen in actual use cases, but I could reproduce it:
start a connection from a container, while dropping (using netfilter)
ACK segments coming out of the container itself.
On the server side, outside the container, accept the connection and
shutdown the writing side of it immediately.
At this point, we're in the TAP_SYN_ACK_SENT case (not just a mere
TAP_SYN_RCVD state), we get EPOLLRDHUP from the socket, but we don't
have any reasonable way to handle it other than waiting for the tap
side to complete the three-way handshake. So we'll just keep getting
this EPOLLRDHUP until the SYN_TIMEOUT kicks in.
Always enable EPOLLET when EPOLLRDHUP is the only epoll event we
subscribe to: in this case, getting multiple EPOLLRDHUP reports is
totally useless.
In the only remaining non-established state, SOCK_ACCEPTED, for
inbound connections, we're anyway discarding EPOLLRDHUP events until
we established the conection, because we don't know what to do with
them until we get an answer from the tap side, so it's safe to enable
EPOLLET also in that case.

In situations with the right sorts of has near-collisions this can lead to
us not associating an ACK from the tap device with the right flow, leaving
it in a not-quite-established state. If the remote peer does a shutdown()
at the right time, this can lead to a storm of EPOLLRDHUP events causing

using the RFC 6335 range.
Therefore, add logic to probe the host's ephemeral range, falling back to
the RFC 6335 range if that fails. This has the bonus advantage of

"Ephemeral" ports are those which the kernel may allocate as local

Thefore when using -t all, -u all or exclude-only ranges, we map only
non-ephemeral ports. Our logic for this is a bit rigid though: we
assume the ephemeral ports are always a fixed range at the top of the
port number space. We also assume PORT_EPHEMERAL_MIN is a multiple of
8, or we won't set the forward bitmap correctly.
Make the logic in conf.c more flexible, using a helper moved into

since it's a once-off operation at start off, I don't think it really
matters.

Avoid excess lines on wide terminals, but make sure we don't fail if
we can't fetch the number of columns for any reason, as it's not a
fundamental feature and we don't want to break anything with it.

Platforms like Linux allow IPv6 sockets to listen for IPv4 connections as
well as native IPv6 connections. By doing this we halve the number of
listening sockets we need (assuming passt/pasta is listening on the same
ports for IPv4 and IPv6). When forwarding many ports (e.g. -u all) this
can significantly reduce the amount of kernel memory that passt consumes.
We've used such dual stack sockets for TCP since 8e914238b "tcp: Use dual
stack sockets for port forwarding when possible". Add similar support for
UDP "listening" sockets. Since UDP sockets don't use as much kernel memory
as TCP sockets this isn't as big a saving, but it's still significant.
When forwarding all TCP and UDP ports for both IPv4 & IPv6 (-t all -u all),
this reduces kernel memory usage from ~522 MiB to ~380MiB (kernel version
6.10.6 on Fedora 40, x86_64).

The 's' variable is always redundant with either 'r4' or 'r6', so remove
it.
