nl_addr() can perform three quite different operations based on the 'op'
parameter, each of which uses a different subset of the parameters. Split
them up into a function for each operation. This does use more lines of
code, but the overlap wasn't that great, and the separated logic is much
easier to follow.
It's also clearer in the callers what we expect the netlink operations to
do, and what information it uses.

[sbrivio: Minor formatting fixes in pasta_ns_conf()]
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC
address and MTU and also retrieve the existing MAC. This makes for a small
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.
Still, it's neater to always get the MAC address here.

nl_addr() and nl_route() take an 'op' selector which affects a number of
parameters to the netlink call. Unfortunately when we introduced this
option a bug was introduced so that we always use the interface index for
the host side, rather than the one for the pasta namespace.
Really, the entire interface to nl_addr() and nl_route() is pretty bad:
it's tightly coupled with the use cases of its callers. This is a minimal
fix which doesn't address that, but also doesn't make it significantly
worse.

Similarly to what we've just done with routes, support NL_DUP for
addresses (currently not exposed): nl_addr() can optionally copy
mulitple addresses to the target namespace, by fixing up data from
the dump with appropriate flags and interface index, and repeating
it back to the kernel on the socket opened in the target namespace.
Link-local addresses are not copied: the family is set to AF_UNSPEC,
which means the kernel will ignore them. Same for addresses from a
mismatching address (pre-4.19 kernels without support for
NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK).
Ignore IFA_LABEL attributes by changing their type to IFA_UNSPEC,
because in general they will report mismatching names, and we don't
really need to use labels as we already know the interface index.

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.

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional

suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL

Commit 89e38f55 "treewide: Fix header includes to build with musl" added
extra #includes to work with musl. Unfortunately with the cppcheck version
I'm using (cppcheck-2.9-1.fc37.x86_64 in Fedora 37) this causes weird false
positives: specifically cppcheck seems to hit a #error in <bits/unistd.h>
complaining about including it directly instead of via <unistd.h> (which is
not something we're doing).
I have no idea why that would be happening; but I'm guessing it has to be
a bug in the cpp implementation in that cppcheck version. In any case,
it's possible to work around this by moving the include of <unistd.h>
before the include of <signal.h>. So, do that.

Roughly inspired from a patch by Chris Kuhn: fix up includes so that
we can build against musl: glibc is more lenient as headers generally
include a larger amount of other headers.
Compared to the original patch, I only included what was needed
directly in C files, instead of adding blanket includes in local
header files. It's a bit more involved, but more consistent with the
current (not ideal) situation.

...instead of BUFSIZ. On musl, BUFSIZ is 1024, so we'll typically
truncate the response to the request we send in nl_link(). It's
usually 8192 or more with glibc.
There doesn't seem to be any macro defining the rtnetlink maximum
message size, and iproute2 just hardcodes 1024 * 1024 for the receive
buffer, but the example in netlink(7) makes somewhat sense, looking
at the kernel implementation.
It's not very clean, but we're very unlikely to hit that limit,
and if we do, we'll find out painlessly, because NLA_OK() will tell
us right away.

When spawning a child command with pasta command... pasta should not
leak fds that it opened. Only the fds that were already open should be

Run `pasta --config-net -- ls -l /proc/self/fd` from a terminal where
only stdin/out/err are open. The fd 3 was opend by ls to read the
/proc/self/fd dir. But fd 5 is the netlink socket that was opend in
pasta. To prevent such a leak we will open the socket with SOCK_CLOEXEC.

Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in
the target user namespace as we isolate the process, which means
we're unable to bind to low ports at that point.
Bind inbound ports, and only those, before isolate_user(). Keep the
handling of outbound ports (for pasta mode only) after the setup of
the namespace, because that's where we'll bind them.
To this end, initialise the netlink socket for the init namespace
before isolate_user() as well, as we actually need to know the
addresses of the upstream interface before binding ports, in case
they're not explicitly passed by the user.
As we now call nl_sock_init() twice, checking its return code from
conf() twice looks a bit heavy: make it exit(), instead, as we
can't do much if we don't have netlink sockets.
While at it:
- move the v4_only && v6_only options check just after the first
option processing loop, as this is more strictly related to
option parsing proper
- update the man page, explaining that CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is
*not* the preferred way to bind ports, because passt and pasta
can be abused to allow other processes to make effective usage
of it. Add a note about the recommended sysctl instead
- simplify nl_sock_init_do() now that it's called once for each
case

With default options, when we pass --config-net, the IPv6 address is
actually going to be recycled from the init namespace, so it is in
fact duplicated, but duplicate address detection has no way to find
out.
With a different configured address, that's not the case, but anyway
duplicate address detection will be unable to see this.
In both cases, we're wasting time for nothing.
Pass the IFA_F_NODAD flag as we configure globally scoped IPv6
addresses via netlink.

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).
