Therefore we allow packets from the guest going to a special "NAT to host" address to be redirected to the host, appearing there as though they have both source and destination address of loopback. Currently that special address is always the address of the default gateway (or none). That can be a problem if we want that gateway to be addressable by the guest. Therefore, allow the special "NAT to host" address to be overridden on the command line with a new --nat-host-loopback option. In order to exercise and test it, update the passt_in_ns and perf tests to use this option and give different mapping addresses for the two layers of the environment.

The help message is already 90 lines long. This should be a quick guide/reminder, not a full description. This reminds me that 127.0.0.1 isn't the only IPv4 loopback address. I don't know if anybody will ever have a use case where they would need a different, specific, loopback source address, but, together with --nat-guest-addr from 22/22, I start wondering: what if we had a single option taking, optionally, an arbitrary (within limits) source address? Now, given that we plan to add a configurable flow table at some point in the future, it makes no sense to make this exceedingly flexible. But I just wanted to bring this up for consideration, in case it's doable at a small cost (I'm really not sure): --map-host [source,]address where "source" would default to 127.0.0.1, but it could also be another loopback address, or another address altogether (and we'll fail if it's not local, of course). If we want (can?) go that way and keep equivalent functionality as you have now, we would have the additional problem that this option could be given up to two times (one for loopback, one for non-loopback), and not more (we don't have a data structure ready for an arbitrary number of those), so it's not as generic as it might look like, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea. But we could also expand on it in the future.+ " ADDR can be 'none', in which case nothing is mapped\n"This is a nice feature by the way as it should eventually allow us to get consistent options in Podman instead of "--map-gw": Podman could add by default '--map-host-loopback none', unless the user overrides that with an actual address.+ " Can be specified zero to two (for IPv4 and IPv6)\n""can" (for consistency, but also because the subject is still the option, this is not a separate sentence). ...times.+ " default: gateway address, or none if --no-map-gw is also\n" + " specified\n"I don't think we need to mention here that --no-map-gw implies none, doing it in the man page is enough." --dns-forward ADDR Forward DNS queries sent to ADDR\n" " can be specified zero to two times (for IPv4 and IPv6)\n" " default: don't forward DNS queries\n" @@ -959,6 +967,11 @@ static void conf_print(const struct ctx *c) info(" host: %s", eth_ntop(c->our_tap_mac, bufmac, sizeof(bufmac))); if (c->ifi4) { + if (!IN4_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&c->ip4.nat_host_loopback)) + info(" NAT to host 127.0.0.1: %s", + inet_ntop(AF_INET, &c->ip4.nat_host_loopback, + buf4, sizeof(buf4))); + if (!c->no_dhcp) { uint32_t mask; @@ -989,6 +1002,11 @@ static void conf_print(const struct ctx *c) } if (c->ifi6) { + if (!IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&c->ip6.nat_host_loopback)) + info(" NAT to host ::1: %s", + inet_ntop(AF_INET6, &c->ip6.nat_host_loopback, + buf6, sizeof(buf6))); + if (!c->no_ndp && !c->no_dhcpv6) info("NDP/DHCPv6:"); else if (!c->no_ndp) @@ -1122,6 +1140,35 @@ static void conf_ugid(char *runas, uid_t *uid, gid_t *gid) } } +/** + * conf_nat() - Parse --nat-host-loopback option + * @c: Execution context + * @arg: String argument to --nat-host-loopback + * @no_map_gw: --no-map-gw flag, updated for "none" argument + */ +static void conf_nat(struct ctx *c, const char *arg, int *no_map_gw) +{ + if (strcmp(arg, "none") == 0) { + c->ip4.nat_host_loopback = in4addr_any; + c->ip6.nat_host_loopback = in6addr_any; + *no_map_gw = 1; + } + + if (inet_pton(AF_INET6, arg, &c->ip6.nat_host_loopback) && + !IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&c->ip6.nat_host_loopback) && + !IN6_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK(&c->ip6.nat_host_loopback) && + !IN6_IS_ADDR_MULTICAST(&c->ip6.nat_host_loopback)) + return; + + if (inet_pton(AF_INET, arg, &c->ip4.nat_host_loopback) && + !IN4_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&c->ip4.nat_host_loopback) && + !IN4_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK(&c->ip4.nat_host_loopback) && + !IN4_IS_ADDR_MULTICAST(&c->ip4.nat_host_loopback)) + return; + + die("Invalid address to remap to host: %s", optarg); +} + /** * conf_open_files() - Open files as requested by configuration * @c: Execution context @@ -1231,6 +1278,7 @@ void conf(struct ctx *c, int argc, char **argv) {"no-copy-routes", no_argument, NULL, 18 }, {"no-copy-addrs", no_argument, NULL, 19 }, {"netns-only", no_argument, NULL, 20 }, + {"nat-host-loopback", required_argument, NULL, 21 }, { 0 }, }; const char *logname = (c->mode == MODE_PASTA) ?
