tcp_table_compact() will move entries in the connection/flow table to keep
it compact when other entries are removed. The moved entries need not have
the same type as the flow removed, so it needs to be able to handle moving
any type of flow. Therefore, move it to flow.c rather than being
purportedly TCP specific.

MAX_FROM_BITS() computes the maximum value representable in a number of
bits. The expression for that is an unsigned value, but we explicitly cast
it to a signed int. It looks like this is because one of the main users is
for FD_REF_MAX, which is used to bound fd values, typically stored as a
signed int.
The value MAX_FROM_BITS() is calculating is naturally non-negative, though,
so it makes more sense for it to be unsigned, and to move the case to the
definition of FD_REF_MAX.

Both tcp.c and tcp_splice.c define CONN_IDX() variants to find the index
of their connection structures in the connection table, now become the
unified flow table. We can easily combine these into a common helper.
While we're there, add some trickery for some additional type safety.
They also define their own CONN() versions, which aren't so easily combined
since they need to return different types, but we can have them use a
common helper.
In the process, we standardise on always using an unsigned type to store
the connection / flow index, which makes more sense. tcp.c's conn_at_idx()
remains for now, but we change its parameter to unsigned to match. That in
turn means we can remove a check for negative values from it.

A while ago, we updated passt to require C11, for several reasons, but one
was to be able to use static_assert() for build time checks. The C11
version of static_assert() requires a message to print in case of failure
as well as the test condition it self. It was extended in C23 to make the
message optional, but we don't want to require C23 at this time.
Unfortunately we missed that in some of the static_assert()s we already

When pasta periodically scans bound ports and binds them on the other
side in order to forward traffic, we bind UDP ports for corresponding
TCP port numbers, too, to support protocols and applications such as
iperf3 which use UDP port numbers matching the ones used by the TCP
data connection.
If we scan UDP ports in order to bind UDP ports, we skip detection of
the UDP ports we already bound ourselves, to avoid looping back our
own ports. Same with scanning and binding TCP ports.
But if we scan for TCP ports in order to bind UDP ports, we need to
skip bound TCP ports too, otherwise, as David pointed out:
- we find a bound TCP port on side A, and bind the corresponding TCP
and UDP ports on side B
- at the next periodic scan, we find that UDP port bound on side B,
and we bind the corresponding UDP port on side A
- at this point, we unbind that UDP port on side B: we would
otherwise loop back our own port.
To fix this, we need to avoid binding UDP ports that we already
bound, on the other side, as a consequence of finding a corresponding
bound TCP port.
Reproducing this issue is straightforward:
./pasta -- iperf3 -s
# Wait one second, then from another terminal:

When we plan to use valgrind, we need to build passt a bit differently:
* We need debug symbols so that valgrind can match problems it finds to
meaningful locations
* We need to allow additional syscalls in the seccomp filter, because
valgrind's wrappers need them
Currently we also disable optimization (-O0). This is unfortunate, because
it will make valgrind tests even slower than they'd otherwise be. Worse,
it's possible that the asm behaviour without optimization might be
different enough that valgrind could miss a use of uninitialized variable
or other fault it would detect.
I suspect this was originally done because without it inlining could mean
that suppressions we use don't reliably match the places we want them to.
Alas, it turns out this is true even with -O0. We've now implemented a
more robust workaround for this (explicit ((noinline)) attributes when
compiled with -DVALGRIND). So, we can re-enable optimization for valgrind
builds, making them closer to regular builds.

valgrind complains if we pass a NULL buffer to recv(), even if we use
MSG_TRUNC, in which case it's actually safe. For a long time we've had
a valgrind suppression for this. It singles out the recv() in
tcp_sock_consume(), the only place we use MSG_TRUNC.
However, tcp_sock_consume() only has a single caller, which makes it a
prime candidate for inlining. If inlined, it won't appear on the stack and
valgrind won't match the correct suppression.
It appears that certain compiler versions (for example gcc-13.2.1 in
Fedora 39) will inline this function even with the -O0 we use for valgrind
builds. This breaks the suppression leading to a spurious failure in the
tests.
There's not really any way to adjust the suppression itself without making
it overly broad (we don't want to match other recv() calls). So, as a hack
explicitly prevent inlining of this function when we're making a valgrind
build. To accomplish this add an explicit -DVALGRIND when making such a
build.

pasta supports automatic port forwarding, where we look for listening
sockets in /proc/net (in both namespace and outside) and establish port
forwarding to match.
For TCP we do this scan both at initial startup, then periodically
thereafter. For UDP however, we currently only scan at start. So unlike
TCP we won't update forwarding to handle services that start after pasta
has begun.
There's no particular reason for that, other than that we didn't implement
it. So, remove that difference, by scanning for new UDP forwards
periodically too. The logic is basically identical to that for TCP, but it
needs some changes to handle the mildly different data structures in the

That code relies on tap_send_frames() returning the number of frames it
successfully sent, which in turn gets it from tap_send_frames_passt() or
tap_send_frames_pasta().
While tap_send_frames_passt() has returned that information since b62ed9ca

On the L2 tap side, we see TCP headers and know the TCP window that the
ultimate receiver is advertising. In order to avoid unnecessary buffering
within passt/pasta (or by the kernel on passt/pasta's behalf) we attempt
to advertise that window back to the original sock-side sender using
TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP.
However, TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP just doesn't work like this. Prior to kernel
commit 3aa7857fe1d7 ("tcp: enable mid stream window clamp"), it simply
had no effect on established sockets. After that commit, it does affect
established sockets but doesn't behave the way we need:
* It appears to be designed only to shrink the window, not to allow it to
re-expand.
* More importantly, that commit has a serious bug where if the
setsockopt() is made when the existing kernel advertised window for the
socket happens to be zero, it will now become locked at zero, stopping
any further data from being received on the socket.
Since this has never worked as intended, simply remove it. It might be
possible to re-implement the intended behaviour by manipulating SO_RCVBUF,
so we leave a comment to that effect.
This kernel bug is the underlying cause of both the linked passt bug and
the linked podman bug. We attempted to fix this before with passt commit
d3192f67 ("tcp: Force TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP before resetting STALLED flag").
However while that commit masked the bug for some cases, it didn't really

For the TCP throughput tests, we use iperf3's -O "omit" option which
ignores results for the given time at the beginning of the test. Currently
we calculate this as 1/6th of the test measurement time. The purpose of
-O, however, is to skip over the TCP slow start period, which in no way
depends on the overall length of the test.
The slow start time is roughly speaking
log_2 ( max_window_size / MSS ) * round_trip_time
These factors all vary between tests and machines we're running on, but we
can estimate some reasonable bounds for them:
* The maximum window size is bounded by the buffer sizes at each end,
which shouldn't exceed 16MiB
* The mss varies with the MTU we use, but the smallest we use in tests is
~256 bytes
* Round trip time will vary with the system, but with these essentially
local transfers it will typically be well under 1ms (on my laptop it is
closer to 0.03ms)
That gives a worst case slow start time of about 16ms. Setting an omit
time of 0.1s uniformly is therefore more than enough, and substantially
smaller than what we calculate now for the default case (10s / 6 ~= 1.7s).
This reduces total time for the standard benchmark run by around 30s.

The TCP packet size used on the passt L2 link (qemu socket) makes a huge
difference to passt/pasta throughput; many of passt's overheads (chiefly
syscalls) are per-packet.
That packet size is largely determined by the MTU on the L2 link, so we
benchmark for a number of different MTUs. That works well for the guest to
host transfers. For the host to guest transfers, we purport to test for
different MTUs, but we're not actually adjusting anything interesting.
The host to guest transfers adjust the MTU on the "host's" (actually ns)
loopback interface. However, that only affects the packet size for the
socket going to passt, not the packet size for the L2 link that passt
manages - passt can and will repack the stream into packets of its own
size. Since the depacketization on that socket is handled by the kernel it
doesn't have a lot of bearing on passt's performance.
We can't fix this by changing the L2 link MTU from the guest side (as we do
for guest to host), because that would only change the guest's view of the
MTU, passt would still think it has the large MTU. We could test this by
using the --mtu option to passt, but that would require restarting passt
for each run, which is awkward in the current setup. So, for now, drop all
the "small MTU" tests for host to guest.

Packet size can make a big difference to UDP throughput, so it makes sense
to measure it for a variety of different sizes. Currently we do this by
adjusting the MTU on the relevant interface before running iperf3.
However, the UDP packet size has no inherent connection to the MTU - it's
controlled by the sender, and the MTU just affects whether the packet will
make it through or be fragmented. The only reason adjusting the MTU works
is because iperf3 bases its default packet size on the (path) MTU.
We can test this more simply by using the -l option to the iperf3 client
to directly control the packet size, instead of adjusting the MTU.
As well as simplifying this lets us test different packet sizes for host to
ns traffic. We couldn't do that previously because we don't have
permission to change the MTU on the host.

really interesting.
Unlike with tap connections, spliced connections only involve the loopback
interface on host and container, not a "real" external interface. lo
typically has an MTU of 65535 and there is very little reason to ever
change that. So, the measurements for smaller MTUs are rarely going to be
relevant.
In addition, the fact that we can offload all the {de,}packetization to the
kernel with splice(2) means that the throughput difference between these
MTUs isn't very great anyway.

iperf3 generates statistics about its run on both the client and server
sides. They don't have exactly the same information, but both have the
pieces we need (AFAICT the server communicates some nformation to the
client over the control socket, so the most important information is in the
client side output, even if measured by the server).
Currently we use the server side information for our measurements. Using
the client side information has several advantages though:
* We can directly wait for the client to complete and we know we'll have
the output we want. We don't need to sleep to give the server time to
write out the results.
* That in turn means we can wrap up as soon as the client is done, we
don't need to wait overlong to make sure everything is finished.
* The slightly different organisation of the data in the client output
means that we always want the same json value, rather than requiring
slightly different onces for UDP and TCP.
The fact that we avoid some extra delays speeds up the overal run of the
perf tests by around 7 minutes (out of around 35 minutes) on my laptop.
The fact that we no longer unconditionally kill client and server after
a certain time means that the client could run indefinitely if the server
doesn't respond. We mitigate that by setting 1s connect timeout on the
client. This isn't foolproof - if we get an initial response, but then
lose connectivity this could still run indefinitely, however it does cover
by far the most likely failure cases. --snd-timeout would provide more
robustness, but I've hit odd failures when trying to use it.

udp uses the udp_tap_map, udp_splice_ns and udp_splice_init tables to keep
track of already opened sockets bound to specific ports. We need a way to
indicate entries where a socket hasn't been opened, but the code isn't
consistent if this is indicated by a 0 or a -1:
* udp_splice_sendfrom() and udp_tap_handler() assume that 0 indicates
an unopened socket
* udp_sock_init() fills in -1 for a failure to open a socket
* udp_timer_one() is somewhere in between, treating only strictly
positive fds as valid
-1 (or, at least, negative) is really the correct choice here, since 0 is
a theoretically valid fd value (if very unlikely in practice). Change to
use that consistently throughout.
The table does need to be initialised to all -1 values before any calls to
udp_sock_init() which can happen from conf_ports(). Because C doesn't make
it easy to statically initialise non zero values in large tables, this does
require a somewhat awkward call to initialise the table from conf(). This
is the best approach I could see for the short term, with any luck it will
go away at some point when those socket tables are replaced by a unified

attributes in various places. For now, just use it and we can worry about
compilers that don't support it if it comes up.
This exposes some warnings from existing callers, both in gcc and in
clang-tidy:
- Some are straight out bugs, which we correct
- It's occasionally useful to invoke the logging functions with an empty
string, which gcc objects to, so disable that specific warning in the
Makefile
- Strictly speaking the C standard requires that the parameter for a %p
be a (void *), not some other pointer type. That's only likely to cause
problems in practice on weird architectures with different sized
representations for pointers to different types. Nonetheless add the
casts to make it happy.

In log.c we use a macro to define logging functions for each of 4 priority
levels. The only difference between these is the priority we pass to
vsyslog() and similar functions. Because it's done as a macro, however,
the entire functions code is included in the binary 4 times.
Rearrange this to take the priority level as a parameter to a regular
function, then just use macros to define trivial wrappers which pass the
priority level.
This saves about 600 bytes of text in the executable (x86, non-AVX2).

Use of tcp_l2_mh has been removed in commit 38fbfdbcb9,
but its declaration and initialization are always in the code.
Remove them as they are useless.

tcp_splice_sock_handler() uses the tcp_splice_dir() helper to select
which of the socket, pipe and counter fields to use depending on which
side of the connection the socket event is coming from.
Now that we are using arrays for the two sides, rather than separate named
fields, we can instead just use a variable indicating the side and use
that to index the arrays whever we need a particular side's field.

tcp_splice_destroy() has some close-to-duplicated logic handling closing of
the socket and pipes for each side of the connection. We can use a loop
across the sides to reduce the duplication.

Each spliced connection has two mostly, although not entirely, symmetric
sides. We currently call those "a" and "b" and have different fields in
the connection structure for each one.
We can better exploit that symmetry if we use two element arrays rather
thatn separately named fields. Do that in the places we can, and for the
others change the "a"/"b" terminology to 0/1 to match.

To reduce latencies, the tcp splice code maintains a pool of pre-opened
pipes to use for new connections. This is structured as an array of pairs
of pipes, with each pipe, of course, being a pair of fds. Thus when we
use the pool, a single pool "slot" provides both the a->b and b->a pipes.
There's no strong reason to store the pool in pairs, though - we can
with not much difficulty instead take the a->b and b->a pipes for a new
connection independently from separate slots in the pool, or even take one
from the the pool and create the other as we need it, if there's only one
pipe left in the pool.
This marginally increases the length of code, but simplifies the structure
of the pipe pool. We should be able to re-shrink the code with later
changes, too.
In the process we also fix some minor bugs:
- If we both failed to find a pipe in the pool and to create a new one, we
didn't log an error and would silently drop the connection. That could
make debugging such a situation difficult. Add in an error message for
that case
- When refilling the pool, if we were only able to open a single pipe in
the pair, we attempted to rollback, but instead of closing the opened
pipe, we instead closed the pipe we failed to open (probably leading to
some ignored EBADFD errors).

We initialise the events_a and events_b variables with
tcp_splice_conn_epoll_events() function, then immediately copy the values
into ev_a.events and ev_b.events. We can't simply pass &ev_[ab].events to
tcp_splice_conn_epoll_events(), because struct epoll_event is packed,
leading to 'pointer may be unaligned' warnings if we attempt that.
We can, however, make tcp_splice_conn_epoll_events() take struct
epoll_event pointers rather than raw u32 pointers, avoiding the awkward
temporaries.

In tcp_splice.c we forward declare tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() then define it
later on. However, there are no circular dependencies which prevent us
from simply having the full definition in place of the forward declaration.

tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() removes both sockets from the epoll set if called
when conn->flags & CLOSING. This will always happen immediately after
setting that flag, since conn_flag_do() makes the call itself. That's also
the _only_ time it can happen: we perform the EPOLL_CTL_DEL without
clearing the conn->in_epoll flag, meaning that any further calls to
tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() would attempt EPOLL_CTL_MOD, which would necessarily
fail since the fds are no longer in the epoll.
The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path in tcp_splice_epoll_ctl() has essentially zero
overlap with anything else the function does, so just move them to be
open coded in conn_flag_do().
This does require kernel 2.6.9 or later, in order to pass NULL as the
event structure for epoll_ctl(). However, we already require at least
3.13 to allow unprivileged user namespaces.
Given that, simply directly perform the EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations from
conn_flag_do() rather than unnecessarily multiplexini
