[PATCH 0/6] Fixes for early logging/prints and related cleanups
by Stefano Brivio 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

The most apparent issue fixed by this series is the one from 3/6: with a log file configured, we wouldn't print to standard error anymore, during initialisation, which means that users such as libvirt lost the ability to report meaningful error messages that occurred during initialisation, in that case. Stefano Brivio (6): conf, passt: Don't try to log to stderr after we close it conf, log: Introduce internal log flags, instead of abusing log levels log, passt: Always print to stderr before initialisation is complete log: Add _perror() logging function variants treewide: Replace perror() calls with calls to logging functions treewide: Replace strerror() calls arch.c | 10 ++++---- conf.c | 45 ++++++++++++++++++---------------- fwd.c | 2 +- isolation.c | 46 +++++++++++++++-------------------- log.c | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ log.h | 26 +++++++++++++++++--- netlink.c | 4 +-- passt.1 | 3 ++- passt.c | 70 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ pasta.c | 41 +++++++++++++++---------------- pcap.c | 8 +++--- tap.c | 14 +++++------ tcp.c | 24 ++++++------------ util.c | 12 ++++----- 14 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0

[PATCH] conf: Accept duplicate and conflicting options, the last one wins
by Stefano Brivio 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

In multiple occasions, especially when passt(1) and pasta(1) are used in integrations such as the one with Podman, the ability to override earlier options on the command line with later one would have been convenient. Recently, to debug a number of issues happening with Podman, I would have liked to ask users to share a debug log by passing --debug as additional option, but pasta refuses --quiet (always passed by Podman) and --debug at the same time. Finally, somebody took care of this on Podman side at: https://github.com/containers/common/pull/2052 but still, we'll probably have similar cases, or older versions of Podman around, etc. I think there's some value in telling users about duplicated or conflicting options, because that might reveal issues in integrations or accidental misconfigurations, but by now I'm fairly convinced that the downsides outweigh this. Drop checks about duplicate options and mutually exclusive ones. In some cases, we need to also undo a couple of initialisations caused by earlier options, but this looks like a simplification, overall.

[PATCH] netlink: With no default route, pick the first interface with a route
by Stefano Brivio 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

While commit f919dc7a4b1c ("conf, netlink: Don't require a default route to start") sounded reasonable in the assumption that, if we don't find default routes for a given address family, we can still proceed by selecting an interface with any route *iff it's the only one for that protocol family*, Jelle reported a further issue in a similar setup. There, multiple interfaces are present, and while remote container connectivity doesn't matter for the container, local connectivity is desired. There are no default routes, but those multiple interfaces all have non-default routes, so we should just pick one and start. Pick the first interface reported by the kernel with any route, if there are no default routes. There should be no harm in doing so.

[PATCH] netlink: Ignore EHOSTUNREACH failures when duplicating routes
by Stefano Brivio 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

To implicitly resolve possible dependencies between routes as we duplicate them into the target namespace, we go through a set of n routes n times, and ignore EEXIST responses to netlink messages (we already inserted the route) and ENETUNREACH (we didn't insert the route yet, but we need to insert another one first). Until now, we didn't ignore EHOSTUNREACH responses. However, NetworkManager users with multiple non-subnet routes for the same interface report that pasta exits with "no route to host" while duplicating routes. This happens because NetworkManager sets the 'noprefixroute' attribute on addresses, meaning that the kernel won't create subnet routes automatically depending on the prefix length of the address. We copy this attribute as we copy the address into the target namespace, and as a result, the kernel doesn't create subnet routes in the target namespace either. This means that the gateway for routes that are inserted later can be unreachable at some points during the sequence of route duplication. That is, we don't just have dependencies between regular routes, but we can also have dependencies between regular routes and subnet routes, as subnet routes are not automatically inserted in advance.

[PATCH v2] tcp: Don't rely on bind() to fail to decide that connection target is valid
by Stefano Brivio 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

Commit e1a2e2780c91 ("tcp: Check if connection is local or low RTT was seen before using large MSS") added a call to bind() before we issue a connect() to the target for an outbound connection. If bind() fails, but neither with EADDRNOTAVAIL, nor with EACCESS, we can conclude that the target address is a local (host) address, and we can use an unlimited MSS. While at it, according to the reasoning of that commit, if bind() succeeds, we would know right away that nobody is listening at that (local) address and port, and we don't even need to call connect(): we can just fail early and reset the connection attempt. But if non-local binds are enabled via net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind or net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl, binding to a non-local address will actually succeed, so we can't rely on it to fail in general. The visible issue with the existing behaviour is that we would reset any outbound connection to non-local addresses, if non-local binds are enabled. Keep the significant optimisation for local addresses along with the bind() call, but if it succeeds, don't draw any conclusion: close the socket, grab another one, and proceed normally. This will incur a small latency penalty if non-local binds are enabled (we'll likely fetch an existing socket from the pool but additionally call close()), or if the target is local but not bound: we'll need to call connect() and get a failure before relaying that failure back.

[PATCH] netlink: Strip nexthop identifiers when duplicating routes
by Stefano Brivio 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

If routing daemons set up host routes, for example FRR via OSPF as in the reported issue, they might add nexthop identifiers (not objects) that are generally not valid in the target namespace. Strip them off as well, otherwise we'll get EINVAL from the kernel.

[PATCH] tcp: Don't rely on bind() to fail to decide that connection target is valid
by Stefano Brivio 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

Commit e1a2e2780c91 ("tcp: Check if connection is local or low RTT was seen before using large MSS") added a call to bind() before we issue a connect() to the target for an outbound connection. If bind() fails, but neither with EADDRNOTAVAIL, nor with EACCESS, we can conclude that the target address is a local (host) address, and we can use an unlimited MSS. While at it, according to the reasoning of that commit, if bind() succeeds, we would know right away that nobody is listening at that (local) address and port, and we don't even need to call connect(): we can just fail early and reset the connection attempt. But if non-local binds are enabled via net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind or net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind sysctl, binding to a non-local address will actually succeed, so we can't rely on it to fail in general. The visible issue with the existing behaviour is that we would reset any outbound connection to non-local addresses, if non-local binds are enabled. Keep the significant optimisation for local addresses along with the bind() call, but if it succeeds, don't draw any conclusion: close the socket, grab another one, and proceed normally. This will incur a small latency penalty if non-local binds are enabled (we'll likely fetch an existing socket from the pool but additionally call close()), or if the target is local but not bound: we'll need to call connect() and get a failure before relaying that failure back.

[PATCH v2 0/4] Even more flow table preliminaries
by David Gibson 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

I hoped that the last batch was the last, but I was wrong. Working on UDP flow has shown up a few more things that make sense to do before taking the leap into full flow table implementation. Here's what I have so far, though there could be even more. Changes since v1: * Assorted minor style and comment changes based on Stefano's review.
