tcp[46]_l2_buf_bytes keep track of the total number of bytes we have
queued to send to the tap interface. tcp_l2_buf_flush_passt() uses this
to determine if sendmsg() has sent all the data we requested, or whether
we need to resend a trailing portion.
However, the logic for finding where we're up to in the case of a short
sendmsg() can equally well tell whether we've had one at all, without
knowing the total number in advance. This does require an extra loop after
each sendmsg(), but it's doing simple arithmetic on values we've already

pcapm() captures multiple frames from a msghdr, however the only thing it
cares about in the msghdr is the list of buffers, where it assumes there is
one frame to capture per buffer. That's what we want for its single caller
but it's not the only obvious choice here (one frame per msghdr would
arguably make more sense in isolation). In addition pcapm() has logic
that only makes sense in the context of the passt specific path its called
from: it skips the first 4 bytes of each buffer, because those have the
qemu vnet_len rather than the frame proper.
Make this clearer by replacing pcapm() with pcap_multiple() which more
explicitly takes one struct iovec per frame, and parameterizes how much of

Currently, when ports are forwarded inbound in pasta mode, we open two
sockets for incoming traffic: one listens on the public IP address and will
forward packets to the tuntap interface. The other listens on localhost
and forwards via "splicing" (resending directly via sockets in the ns).
Now that we've improved the logic about whether we "splice" any individual
packet, we don't need this. Instead we can have a single socket bound to

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

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

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

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.

direction. This also updates the timestamps for the permanent originating
sockets which is unnecessary, but harmless.

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

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

passt usually doesn't NAT, but it does do so for the remapping of the
gateway address to refer to the host. Currently we perform this NAT with
slightly different rules on both IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses, but not
on IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. This means we won't correctly handle the
case of an IPv4 connection over an IPv6 socket, which is possible on Linux
(and probably other platforms).
Refactor tcp_conn_from_sock() to perform the NAT after converting either
address family into an inany_addr, so IPv4 and and IPv4-mapped addresses
have the same representation.
With two new helpers this lets us remove the IPv4 and IPv6 specific paths
from tcp_conn_from_sock().

This bit in the TCP specific epoll reference indicates whether the
connection is IPv6 or IPv4. However the sites which refer to it are
already calling accept() which (optionally) returns an address for the
remote end of the connection. We can use the sa_family field in that
address to determine the connection type independent of the epoll
reference.
This does have a cost: for the spliced case, it means we now need to get
that address from accept() which introduces an extran copy_to_user().
However, in future we want to allow handling IPv4 connectons through IPv6
sockets, which means we won't be able to determine the IP version at the
time we create the listening socket and epoll reference. So, at some point
we'll have to pay this cost anyway.

It looks like tcp_seq_init() is supposed to advance the sequence number
by one every 32ns. However we only right shift the ns part of the timespec
not the seconds part, meaning that we'll advance by an extra 32 steps on
each second.
I don't know if that's exploitable in any way, but it doesn't appear to be
the intent, nor what RFC 6528 suggests.
In addition, we convert from seconds to nanoseconds with a multiplication
by '1E9'. In C '1E9' is a floating point constant, forcing a conversion
to floating point and back for what should be an integer calculation
(confirmed with objdump and Makefile default compiler flags). Spell out
1000000000 in full to avoid that.
