So.. I think this discussion is missing a crucial point: In order to operate, pasta *must* end up in the userns owning the guest's netns. --userns and --netns-only aren't exceptions to that, they're just different ways of locating the correct userns. In PID/--netns mode, I think NS_GET_USERNS makes --userns entirely obsolete. No need to have the user tell us the right userns when we have a reliable way to discover it. It also makes --netns-only obsolete. The slight wrinkle here is that you can't re-enter the userns you're already in. So, we have to test if the ns returned by NS_GET_USERNS is the one we already inhabit. According to namespaces(7) we can do that by using fstat/stat and checking the device and inode of the fd from NS_GET_USERNS versus that of /proc/self/ns/user. So, I think we should straight out deprecate --userns and --netns-only for the PID/--netns case. NS_GET_USERNS is basically an all around better solution. For COMMAND mode, NS_GET_USERNS can't help us, because we need to locate the userns before we can create the netns. We still have the three options of where to create the new netns: * In a new userns (default) * In our current userns (--netns-only) * In a different existing userns (--userns) With that in mind, opinions on the specific behaviours we should aim for below. > > It would be good to have a way to "cleanly" exclude this new behaviour, > > but, once we add the NS_GET_USERNS trick, --netns-only doesn't exactly > > get us back to the previous behaviour.

As above, I think we should deprecate this case anyway (with NS_GET_USERNS + checking if we're already in the right namespace, it's not necessary).

For other cases it's murkier - we may have no reasonable fallback, or the "fallback" might contradict the behaviour we'd have in the case that NS_GET_USERNS succeeds, which would be weird. I've opined on each case separately above. > Yes, it makes sense to implement a fallback when changing the default > behavior. If it will become a separate option, it seems counter-intuitive > to have an automatic fallback. > I just thought it might be best to first discuss the wanted behavior before > starting to implement more complex changes. Yes, that makes sense. Are you comfortable with implementing the behaviour I've described above? I could tackle this, but I'd love for someone else to do it instead. If you are happy to tackle it, two small suggestions: - start with a preliminary patch to make combining --netns-only and --userns an error. That never made sense and making it explicit is a good idea regardless of what else we do. - Another preliminary patch can add a "namespaces_equal" helper, since that will ne needed in a number of places. -- David Gibson (he or they) | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you, not the other way | around. http://www.ozlabs.org/~dgibson

I finally had a second look, a bit quicker than I wanted but I think I grasped the issue. For context, "this" is: always join the user namespace owning a network namespace. It looks reasonable (and desirable) to me, but I'm not sure how / why it breaks the --userns parameter. We should probably never do this when --netns-only is given (that's Podman's case, for example). It would be good to have a way to "cleanly" exclude this new behaviour, but, once we add the NS_GET_USERNS trick, --netns-only doesn't exactly get us back to the previous behaviour. What about --userns-from-pid or something like that? That name isn't great though. Now, 4.9 feels "old" enough, but pasta used to run on a 3.13 kernel a while ago, then a few things were (inadvertently) broken. But it "almost" does.

Thanks for reporting this and for the draft. I didn't look into your issue and patch yet, I plan to get to it later today, but just as a quick answer to this point: the earlier the better, not everything is reasonable, but 4.9 should be.

Issues when using pasta with bubblewrap
by Lisa Gnedt 06 Jul '25

06 Jul '25

Hi, I am working on integrating pasta into NixPak [1], which boils down to using pasta together with bubblewrap [2]. It basically works, but in a specific edge-case I am running into problems. The edge-case is when bubblewrap creates two layers of user namespaces. What I am basically doing is let bubblewrap create a new network namespace and then start pasta to create the interfaces accordingly. In the NixPak support, I am doing this in coordination with bubblewrap to start pasta before the actual application is launched. However, here are a few minimum examples for re-producing the problem. All testcases were run using pasta 2025_06_11.0293c6f on Linux 6.12.34-hardened1. Testcase A: Single layer of user namespaces -> Works ---------------------------------------------------- First, I start the bwrap sandbox with a new network namespace: $ bwrap --unshare-all --ro-bind / / /bin/sh sh-5.2$ ip -br a lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 In another terminal window, I start pasta with the pid of the bubblewrap child which runs inside the new Linux namespaces: $ pasta --config-net --no-dhcp --no-dhcpv6 --no-ndp --no-ra --no-map-gw --tcp-ns none --udp-ns none --tcp-ports none --udp-ports none --ns-ifname eth0 --address 192.168.1.100 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --mac-addr 52:54:00:12:34:56 --dns-forward 192.168.1.1 --search none 389267 No interfaces with usable IPv6 routes Template interface: eno2 (IPv4) Namespace interface: eth0 MAC: host: 52:54:00:12:34:56 DNS: 192.168.1.1 Then, I go back to the bwrap sandbox and check that the network namespace is now fully set up: sh-5.2$ ip -br a lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 eth0 UNKNOWN 192.168.1.100/24 fe80::bceb:d3ff:fe9c:d037/64 Testcase B: Two layers of user namespaces -> Fails directly, but works with nsenter ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, I start again the bwrap sandbox with a new network namespace and the option --dev which is one case where bubblewrap creates two layers of user namespaces: $ bwrap --unshare-all --ro-bind / / --dev /dev /bin/sh sh-5.2$ ip -br a lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 In another terminal window, I try to start pasta with the pid of the bubblewrap child which runs inside the new Linux namespaces: $ pasta --config-net --no-dhcp --no-dhcpv6 --no-ndp --no-ra --no-map-gw --tcp-ns none --udp-ns none --tcp-ports none --udp-ports none --ns-ifname eth0 --address 192.168.1.100 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --mac-addr 52:54:00:12:34:56 --dns-forward 192.168.1.1 --search none 390352 No interfaces with usable IPv6 routes Couldn't switch to pasta namespaces: Operation not permitted This does not work, since pasta joined the second layer user namespace which does not own the network namespace. What works although is if I join the first layer user namespace with nsenter and then let pasta run: $ nsenter -t 390352 -U --preserve-credentials --user-parent -- pasta --config-net --no-dhcp --no-dhcpv6 --no-ndp --no-ra --no-map-gw --tcp-ns none --udp-ns none --tcp-ports none --udp-ports none --ns-ifname eth0 --address 192.168.1.100 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --mac-addr 52:54:00:12:34:56 --dns-forward 192.168.1.1 --search none --netns /proc/390352/ns/net No interfaces with usable IPv6 routes Template interface: eno2 (IPv4) Namespace interface: eth0 MAC: host: 52:54:00:12:34:56 DNS: 192.168.1.1 Then, I go back to the bwrap sandbox and check that the network namespace is now fully set up: sh-5.2$ ip -br a lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 eth0 UNKNOWN 192.168.1.100/24 fe80::54fa:e1ff:fe87:79e/64 Ideas for Solutions ------------------- I am trying to find a solution that works with both testcases (single and two layers of user namespaces). My idea would be to always join the owning user namespace of the network namespace. I tried to simulate this with nsenter, but for some reason I am not getting pasta working for the single layer user namespace (testcase A): $ bwrap --unshare-all --ro-bind / / /bin/sh sh-5.2$ ip -br a lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 $ nsenter -t 390424 -U --preserve-credentials -- pasta --config-net --no-dhcp --no-dhcpv6 --no-ndp --no-ra --no-map-gw --tcp-ns none --udp-ns none --tcp-ports none --udp-ports none --ns-ifname eth0 --address 192.168.1.100 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --mac-addr 52:54:00:12:34:56 --dns-forward 192.168.1.1 --search none --netns /proc/390424/ns/net No interfaces with usable IPv6 routes Couldn't switch to pasta namespaces: Operation not permitted While experimenting with this, I wondered if it is a scenario that pasta would like to support out of the box. It might be easier to get it correct when directly controlling all syscalls involved and not have to mix and match multiple tools. Since Linux 4.9 it seems to be possible to get the owning user namespace of a network namespace with the ioctl NS_GET_USERNS [3]. Do you consider looking into this or would you accept a patch for adding support for this?

Help with pasta usage
by Ayon T 03 Jun '25

Hi, I've been using pasta as a network driver for rootless docker and I've been running into a couple of issues for a while now. I hope this is where I can find some help troubleshooting. The issue is that when I use pasta as the network driver as opposed to slirp4netns, I'm unable to access the internet through rootless docker or use ping (or traceroute) through its containers. So if I run "docker pull <image-name>" I get a timeout error: > Using default tag: latest Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on 10.0.2.3:53: read udp 169.254.2.1:58905 ->10.0.2.3:53: i/o timeout I'm running pasta version 0.0~git20250217.a1e48a0-1 on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS with docker v27.3.1 build ce12230. Please let me know what other details I could provide to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks and regards, Ayon Tarafdar
