[PATCH v2] treewide: Introduce 'local mode' for disconnected setups
by Stefano Brivio 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

There are setups where no host interface is available or configured at all, intentionally or not, temporarily or not, but users expect (Podman) containers to run in any case as they did with slirp4netns, and we're now getting reports that we broke such setups at a rather alarming rate. To this end, if we don't find any usable host interface, instead of exiting: - for IPv4, use 169.254.2.1 as guest/container address and 169.254.2.2 as default gateway - for IPv6, don't assign any address (forcibly disable DHCPv6), and use the *first* link-local address we observe to represent the guest/container. Advertise fe80::1 as default gateway - use 'tap0' as default interface name for pasta Change ifi4 and ifi6 in struct ctx to int and accept a special -1 value meaning that no host interface was selected, but the IP family is enabled. The fact that the kernel uses unsigned int values for those is not an issue as 1. one can't create so many interfaces anyway and 2. we otherwise handle those values transparently. Fix a botched conditional in conf_print() to actually skip printing DHCPv6 information if DHCPv6 is disabled (and skip printing NDP information if NDP is disabled).

[PATCH] test/perf: Select a single IPv6 namespace address in pasta tests
by Stefano Brivio 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

By dropping the filter on prefix length, commit 910f4f910301 ("test: Don't require 64-bit prefixes in perf tests") broke tests on setups where two global unicast IPv6 addresses are available, which is the typical case when the "host" is a VM running under passt with addresses from SLAAC and DHCPv6, because two addresses will be returned. Pick the first one instead. We don't really care about the prefix length, any of these addresses will work.
