If we're at the first message in a batch, it's safe to get the
window value from it, and there's no need to subtract anything for
a comparison on that's not even done -- we'll override it later in
any case if we find messages with a higher ACK sequence number.

If pasta created the namespace, it's probably expected that processes
started in the same namespace are terminated once pasta exits. Scan
procfs namespace links for corresponding processes, send SIGQUIT and
SIGKILL (after one second) if found.

If we couldn't write the whole batch of received packets to the socket,
and we have missing segments, we still need to request their
retransmission right away, otherwise it will take ages for the guest to
figure out we're missing them.

Seen with iperf3: a control connection is established, no data flows
for a while, all segments are acknowledged. The socket starts closing
it, and we immediately time out because the last ACK from tap was one
minute before that.

Flooding a virtio-net interface connected to a socket back-end results
in a TX stall I'm still debugging. The stall goes away by setting a

This fixes a number of issues found with some heavier testing with
uperf and neper:
- in most closing states, we can still accept data, check for EPOLLIN
when appropriate
- introduce a new state, ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT, to track the fact
we already sent a FIN segment to the tap device, for proper sequence
number bookkeeping
- for pasta mode only: spliced connections also need tracking of
(inferred) FIN segments and clean half-pipe shutdowns
- streamline resetting epoll_wait bitmaps with a new function,
tcp_tap_epoll_mask(), instead of repeating the logic all over the
place
- set EPOLLET for tap connections too, whenever we are waiting for
EPOLLRDHUP or an event from the tap to proceed with data transfer,
to avoid useless loops with EPOLLIN set
- impose an additional limit on the sending window advertised to the
guest, given by SO_SNDBUF: it makes no sense to completely fill
the sending buffer and send a zero window: stop a bit before we
hit that
- handle *all* interrupted system calls as needed
- simplify the logic for reordering of out-of-order segments received
from tap: it's not a corner case, and the previous logic allowed
for deadloops
- fix comparison of seen IPv4 address when we get a new connection
from a socket directed to the configured guest address

Similarly to the handling introduced by commit "tcp: Proper error
handling for sendmmsg() to UNIX domain socket" for TCP, we need to
deal with partial sendmmsg() failures for UDP as well.
Here, we can lose messages, but we need to make sure that the last
message is delivered completely, otherwise qemu will fail to
reassemble further packets. For UDP, this is somewhat complicated
by the fact that one message might include multiple datagrams, and
we need to respect message boundaries: go through headers, and
calculate what we need to re-send, if anything.

As data from socket is forwarded to the guest, sendmmsg() might send
fewer bytes than requested in three different ways:
- failing altogether with a negative error code -- ignore that,
we'll get an error on the UNIX domain socket later if there's
really an issue with it and reset the connection to the guest
- sending less than 'vlen' messages -- instead of assuming success
in that case and waiting for the guest to send a duplicate ACK
indicating missing data, update the sequence number according to
what was actually sent and spare some retransmissions
- somewhat unexpectedly to me, sending 'vlen' or less than 'vlen'
messages, returning up to 'vlen', with the last message being
partially sent, and no further indication of errors other than
the returned msg_len for the last partially sent message being
less than iov_len.
In this case, we would assume success and proceed as nothing
happened. However, qemu would fail to parse any further message,
having received a partial descriptor, and eventually close the
connection, logging:
serious error: oversized packet received,connection terminated.
as the length descriptor for the next message would be sourced
from the middle of the next successfully sent message, not from
its header.
Handle this by checking the msg_len returned for the last (even
partially) sent message, and force re-sending the missing bytes,
if any, with a blocking sendmsg() -- qemu must not receive
anything else than that anyway.
While at it, allow to send up to 64KiB for each message, the
previous 32KiB limit isn't actually required, and just switch to a
new message at each iteration on sending buffers, they are already
MSS-sized anyway, so the check in the loop isn't really needed.

With a kernel older than 5.3 (no_snd_wnd set), ack_pending in
tcp_send_to_tap() might be true at the beginning of a new connection
initiated by a socket. This means we send the first SYN segment to the
tap together with ACK set, which is clearly invalid and triggers the
receiver to reply with an RST segment right away.
Set ack_pending to 0 whenever we're sending a SYN segment. In case of a
SYN, ACK segment sent by the caller, the caller passes the ACK flag
explicitly.
