If the default route for a given IP version is a multipath one,
instead of refusing to start because there's no RTA_GATEWAY attribute
in the set returned by the kernel, we can just pick one of the paths.
To make this somewhat less arbitrary, pick the path with the highest

This happened in most cases implicitly before commit eff3bcb245
("netlink: Split nl_addr() into separate operation functions"): while
going through results from netlink, we would only copy an address
into the provided return buffer if no address had been picked yet.
Because of the insertion logic in the kernel (ipv6_link_dev_addr()),
the first returned address would also be the one added last, and, in
case of a Linux guest using a DHCPv6 client as well as SLAAC, that
would be the address assigned via DHCPv6, because SLAAC happens
before the DHCPv6 exchange.
The effect of, instead, picking the last returned address (first
assigned) is visible when passt or pasta runs nested, given that, by
default, they advertise a prefix for SLAAC usage, plus an address via
DHCPv6.
The first level (L1 guest) would get a /64 address by means of SLAAC,
and a /128 address via DHCPv6, the latter matching the address on the
host.
The second level (L2 guest) would also get two addresses: a /64 via
SLAAC (same prefix as the host), and a /128 via DHCPv6, matching the
the L1 SLAAC-assigned address, not the one obtained via DHCPv6. That
is, none of the L2 addresses would match the address on the host. The
whole point of having a DHCPv6 server is to avoid (implicit) NAT when
possible, though.
Fix this in a more explicit way than the behaviour we initially had:
pick the first address among the set of most specific ones, by
comparing prefix lengths. Do this for IPv4 and for link-local
addresses, too, to match in any case the implementation of the
default source address selection.

Host routes can include a preferred source address (RTA_PREFSRC), which
must be one of the host's addresses. However when using pasta with -a the
namespace might be given a different address, not on the host. This seems
to occur pretty routinely depending on the network configuration systems
in place on the host.
With --config-net we will try to copy host routes to the namespace. If
one of those includes an RTA_PREFSRC, but the namespace doesn't have the
host address, this will fail with -EINVAL, causing pasta to fail.
Fix this by stripping off RTA_PREFSRC attributes from routes as we copy
them to the namespace. This is by no means infallible, bit it should at
least handle common cases for the time being.

When we copy addresses from the host to the container in nl_addr_dup(), we
copy all the address's attributes, including IFA_CACHEINFO, which controls
the address's lifetime. If the host address is managed by, for example,
DHCP, it will typically have a finite lifetime.
When we copy that lifetime to the pasta container, that lifetime will
remain, meaning the kernel will eventually remove the address, typically
some hours later. The container, however, won't have the DHCP client or
whatever was managing and maintaining the address in the host, so it will
just lose connectivity.
Long term, we may want to monitor host address changes and reflect them to
the guest. But for now, we just want to take a snapshot of the host's
address and set those in the container permanently. We can accomplish that
by stripping off the IFA_CACHEINFO attribute as we copy addresses.

A single netlink request can result in multiple response datagrams. We

cases where we exit early and will leave remaining datagrams in the queue.
These will be flushed in nl_send() before we send another request.
This is confusing, and not what we need to reliably check for errors from
netlink operations. So, instead, make sure we always process all the
response datagrams whenever we send a request (excepting fatal errors).
In most cases this is just a matter of avoiding early exits from nl_foreach

a secondary buffer to flush any remaining datagrams, and report an error

Currently nl_req() sends the request, and receives a single response
datagram which we then process. However, a single request can result in
multiple response datagrams. That happens nearly all the time for DUMP
requests, where the 'DONE' message usually comes in a second datagram after
the NEW{LINK|ADDR|ROUTE} messages. It can also happen if there are just
too many objects to dump in a single datagram.
Allow our netlink code to process multiple response datagrams by splitting
nl_req() into three different helpers: nl_send() just sends a request,
without getting a response. nl_status() checks a single message to see if
it indicates the end of the reponses for our request. nl_next() moves onto
the next response message, whether it's in a datagram we already received
or we need to recv() a new one. We also add a 'for'-style macro to use
these to step through every response message to a request across multiple
datagrams.
While we're at it, be more thourough with checking that our sequence
numbers are in sync.

responses. It mostly doesn't matter what it is as long as it monotonically
increases, so we just use a global counter which we advance with each
request.
However, we start this counter at 0, so our very first request has sequence
number 0, which is usually reserved for asynchronous messages from the
kernel which aren't in response to a specific request. Since we don't (for
now) use such async messages, this doesn't really matter, but it's not
good practce. So start the sequence at 1 instead.

nl_req() is designed to handle a single netlink request message: it only
receives a single reply datagram for the request, and only waits for a
single NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR message at the beginning to clear out
things from previous requests.
However, in both nl_addr_dup() and nl_route_dup() we can send multiple
request messages as a single datagram, with a single nl_req() call.
This can easily mean that the replies nl_req() collects get out of
sync with requests. We only get away with this because after we call
these functions we don't make any netlink calls where we need to parse
the replies.
This is fragile, so alter nl_*_dup() to make an nl_req() call for each
address it is adding in the target namespace.
For nl_route_dup() this fixes an additional minor problem: because
routes can have dependencies, some of the route add requests might
fail on the first attempt, so we need to repeat the requests a number
of times. When we did that, we weren't updating the sequence number
on each new attempt. This works, but not updating the sequence number
for each new request isn't ideal. Now that we're making the requests
one at a time, it's easier to make sure we update the sequence number
each time.

nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC

number of lines of code, but high conceptual complexity: it's quite hard
to follow what's going on both in nl_link() itself and it's also not very
obvious which function its callers are intending to use.
Clarify this, by splitting nl_link() into nl_link_up(), nl_link_set_mac(),
and nl_link_get_mac(). The first brings up a link, optionally setting the
MTU, the others get or set the MAC address.
This fixes an arguable bug in pasta_ns_conf(): it looks as though that was
intended to retrieve the guest MAC whether or not c->pasta_conf_ns is set.
However, it only actually does so in the !c->pasta_conf_ns case: the fact
that we set up==1 means we would only ever set, never get, the MAC in the
nl_link() call in the other path. We get away with this because the MAC
will quickly be discovered once we receive packets on the tap interface.

Instead of just fetching the default gateway and configuring a single
equivalent route in the target namespace, on 'pasta --config-net', it
might be desirable in some cases to copy the whole set of routes
corresponding to a given output interface.
For instance, in:
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/18539
IPv4 Default Route Does Not Propagate to Pasta Containers on Hetzner VPSes
configuring the default gateway won't work without a gateway-less
route (specifying the output interface only), because the default
gateway is, somewhat dubiously, not on the same subnet as the
container.
This is a similar case to the one covered by commit 7656a6f888
("conf: Adjust netmask on mismatch between IPv4 address/netmask and
gateway"), and I'm not exactly proud of that workaround.
We also have:
https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=49
pasta does not work with tap-style interface
for which, eventually, we should be able to configure a gateway-less
route in the target namespace.
Introduce different operation modes for nl_route(), including a new
NL_DUP one, not exposed yet, which simply parrots back to the kernel
the route dump for a given interface from the outer namespace, fixing
up flags and interface indices on the way, and requesting to add the
same routes in the target namespace, on the interface we manage.
For n routes we want to duplicate, send n identical netlink requests
including the full dump: routes might depend on each other and the
kernel processes RTM_NEWROUTE messages sequentially, not atomically,
and repeating the full dump naturally resolves dependencies without
the need to actually calculate them.
I'm not kidding, it actually works pretty well.

Logging to file is going to add some further complexity that we don't
want to squeeze into util.c.

We use a number of complex structures to format messages to send to
netlink. In some cases we add imaginary 'end' members not because they
actually mean something on the wire, but so that we can use offsetof() on
the member to determine the relevant size.
Adding extra things to the structures for this is kinda nasty. We can use
a different construct with offsetof and sizeof to avoid them. As a bonus
this removes some cppcheck warnings about unused struct members.

Now that the back end allows passt/pasta to use different external
interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6, use that to do the right thing in the case
that the host has IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity via different interfaces.
If the user hasn't explicitly chosen an interface, separately search for
a suitable external interface for each protocol.
As a bonus, this substantially simplifies the external interface probe. It
also eliminates a subtle confusing case where in some circumstances we
would pick the first interface in interface index order, and sometimes in
order of routes returned from netlink. On some network configurations that
could cause tests to fail, because the logic in the tests was subtly
different (it always used route order).

All instances were harmless, but it might be useful to have some

When nl_link() configures the MTU, it shouldn't send extra bytes,
otherwise we'll get a kernel warning:
netlink: 4 bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process `pasta'.

The effect of this typo became visible in an IPv6-only environment,
where passt wouldn't work at all.

tcpi_bytes_acked and tcpi_min_rtt are only available on recent
kernel versions: provide fall-back paths (incurring some grade of
performance penalty).
Support for getrandom() was introduced in Linux 3.17 and glibc 2.25:
provide an alternate mechanism for that as well, reading from
/dev/random.
Also check if NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK is defined before using it:
it's not strictly needed, we'll filter out irrelevant results from
netlink anyway.

This is the only remaining Linux-specific include -- drop it to avoid
clang-tidy warnings and to make code more portable.
