In tcp_seq_init() the meaning of "src" and "dst" isn't really clear since
it's used for connections in both directions. However, these values are
just feeding a hash, so as long as we're consistent and include all the
information we want, it doesn't really matter.
Oddly, for the "src" side we supply the (tap side) forwarding address but
the (tap side) endpoint port. This again doesn't really matter, but it's
confusing. So swap this with dstport, so "src" is always forwarding
and "dst" is always endpoint.

In a number of places the comments and variable names we use to describe
addresses and ports are ambiguous. It's not sufficient to describe a port
as "tap-facing" or "socket-facing", because on both the tap side and the
socket side there are two ports for the two ends of the connection.
Similarly, "local" and "remote" aren't particularly helpful, because it's
not necessarily clear whether we're talking from the point of view of the
guest/namespace, the host, or passt itself.
This patch makes a number of changes to be more precise about this. It
introduces two new terms in aid of this:
A "forwarding" address (or port) refers to an address which is local
from the point of view of passt itself. That is a source address for
traffic sent by passt, whether it's to the guest via the tap interface
or to a host on the internet via a socket.
The "endpoint" address (or port) is the reverse: a remote address
from passt's point of view, the destination address for traffic sent
by passt.
Between them the "side" (either tap/guest-facing or sock/host-facing)
and forwarding vs. endpoint unambiguously describes which address or
port we're talking about.

In tap6_handler() saddr is initialized to the IPv6 source address from the

packet into a "sequence" we set it unconditionally to the guest's assigned
address. We don't do anything equivalent for IPv4.
This doesn't make a lot of sense: if the guest is using a different source
address it makes sense to consider these different sequences of packets and
we shouldn't try to combine them together.

...now it gets ugly. If we use pasta without an existing target
namespace, and run commands directly or spawn a shell, and keep
the pasta_t domain when we do, they won't be able to do much: a
shell might even start, but it's not going to be usable, or to
even display a prompt.
Ideally, pasta should behave like a shell when it spawns a command:
start as unconfined_t and automatically transition to whatever
domain is associated in the specific policy for that command. But
we can't run as unconfined_t, of course.
It would seem natural to switch to unconfined_t "just before", so
that the default transitions happen. But transitions can only happen
when we execvp(), and that's one single transition -- not two.
That is, this approach would work for:
pasta -- sh -c 'ip address show'
but not for:
pasta -- ip address show
If we configure a transition to unconfined_t when we run ip(8), we'll
really try to start that as unconfined_t -- but unconfined_t isn't
allowed as entrypoint for ip(8) itself, and execvp() will fail.
However, there aren't many different types of binaries pasta might
commonly run -- for example, we're unlikely to see pasta used to run
a mount(8) command.
Explicitly set up domain transition for common stuff -- switching to
unconfined_t for bin_t and shells works just fine, ip(8), ping(8),
arping(8) and similar need a different treatment.
While at it, allow commands we spawn to inherit resource limits and
signal masks, because that's what happens by default, and don't
require AT_SECURE sanitisation of the environment (because that
won't happen by default). Slightly unrelated: we also need to
explicitly allow pasta_t to use TTYs, not just PTYs, otherwise
we can't keep stdin and stdout open for shells.

When we copy addresses from the host to the container in nl_addr_dup(), we
copy all the address's attributes, including IFA_CACHEINFO, which controls
the address's lifetime. If the host address is managed by, for example,
DHCP, it will typically have a finite lifetime.
When we copy that lifetime to the pasta container, that lifetime will
remain, meaning the kernel will eventually remove the address, typically
some hours later. The container, however, won't have the DHCP client or
whatever was managing and maintaining the address in the host, so it will
just lose connectivity.
Long term, we may want to monitor host address changes and reflect them to
the guest. But for now, we just want to take a snapshot of the host's
address and set those in the container permanently. We can accomplish that
by stripping off the IFA_CACHEINFO attribute as we copy addresses.

epoll_ref contains a variety of information useful when handling epoll
events on our sockets, and we place it in the epoll_event data field
returned by epoll. However, for a few other things we use the 'fd' field
in the standard union of types for that data field.
This actually introduces a bug which is vanishingly unlikely to hit in
practice, but very nasty if it ever did: theoretically if we had a very
large file descriptor number for fd_tap or fd_tap_listen it could overflow
into bits that overlap with the 'proto' field in epoll_ref. With some
very bad luck this could mean that we mistakenly think an event on a
regular socket is an event on fd_tap or fd_tap_listen.
More practically, using different (but overlapping) fields of the
epoll_data means we can't unify dispatch for the various different objects
in the epoll. Therefore use the same epoll_ref as the data for the tap
fds and the netns quit fd, adding new fd type values to describe them.

* Re-initialising the packet pools is unnecessary
* The case of a passed in fd (--fd) isn't relevant
* We don't even call this for pasta mode
* We will never re-call tap_sock_unix_init() because we never clear
fd_tap_listen

is to remove the fd from the epoll and close it... which isn't used in the

Currently nl_req() sends the request, and receives a single response
datagram which we then process. However, a single request can result in
multiple response datagrams. That happens nearly all the time for DUMP
requests, where the 'DONE' message usually comes in a second datagram after
the NEW{LINK|ADDR|ROUTE} messages. It can also happen if there are just
too many objects to dump in a single datagram.
Allow our netlink code to process multiple response datagrams by splitting
nl_req() into three different helpers: nl_send() just sends a request,
without getting a response. nl_status() checks a single message to see if
it indicates the end of the reponses for our request. nl_next() moves onto
the next response message, whether it's in a datagram we already received
or we need to recv() a new one. We also add a 'for'-style macro to use
these to step through every response message to a request across multiple
datagrams.

responses. It mostly doesn't matter what it is as long as it monotonically
increases, so we just use a global counter which we advance with each

However, we start this counter at 0, so our very first request has sequence
number 0, which is usually reserved for asynchronous messages from the
kernel which aren't in response to a specific request. Since we don't (for

nl_req() is designed to handle a single netlink request message: it only
receives a single reply datagram for the request, and only waits for a
single NLMSG_DONE or NLMSG_ERROR message at the beginning to clear out
things from previous requests.
However, in both nl_addr_dup() and nl_route_dup() we can send multiple
request messages as a single datagram, with a single nl_req() call.
This can easily mean that the replies nl_req() collects get out of
sync with requests. We only get away with this because after we call
these functions we don't make any netlink calls where we need to parse
the replies.
This is fragile, so alter nl_*_dup() to make an nl_req() call for each
address it is adding in the target namespace.
For nl_route_dup() this fixes an additional minor problem: because
routes can have dependencies, some of the route add requests might
fail on the first attempt, so we need to repeat the requests a number
of times. When we did that, we weren't updating the sequence number
on each new attempt. This works, but not updating the sequence number
for each new request isn't ideal. Now that we're making the requests
one at a time, it's easier to make sure we update the sequence number
each time.

nl_route() can perform 3 quite different operations based on the 'op'
parameter. Split this into separate functions for each one. This requires
more lines of code, but makes the internal logic of each operation much
easier to follow.

nl_addr() can perform three quite different operations based on the 'op'
parameter, each of which uses a different subset of the parameters. Split
them up into a function for each operation. This does use more lines of
code, but the overlap wasn't that great, and the separated logic is much
easier to follow.
It's also clearer in the callers what we expect the netlink operations to
do, and what information it uses.

[sbrivio: Minor formatting fixes in pasta_ns_conf()]
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC
address and MTU and also retrieve the existing MAC. This makes for a small
number of lines of code, but high conceptual complexity: it's quite hard
to follow what's going on both in nl_link() itself and it's also not very
obvious which function its callers are intending to use.
Clarify this, by splitting nl_link() into nl_link_up(), nl_link_set_mac(),
and nl_link_get_mac(). The first brings up a link, optionally setting the
MTU, the others get or set the MAC address.
This fixes an arguable bug in pasta_ns_conf(): it looks as though that was
intended to retrieve the guest MAC whether or not c->pasta_conf_ns is set.
However, it only actually does so in the !c->pasta_conf_ns case: the fact
that we set up==1 means we would only ever set, never get, the MAC in the
nl_link() call in the other path. We get away with this because the MAC
will quickly be discovered once we receive packets on the tap interface.
Still, it's neater to always get the MAC address here.

tap_ns_tun(), which runs in an ephemeral thread puts the fd it opens into
the global variable tun_ns_fd to communicate it back to the main thread
in tap_sock_tun_init().
However, the only thing tap_sock_tun_init() does with it is copies it to
c->fd_tap and everything else uses it from there. tap_ns_tun() already
has access to the context structure, so we might as well store the value
directly in there rather than having a global as an intermediate.

There are several possible failure points in tap_ns_tun(), but if anything
goes wrong, we just set tun_ns_fd to -1 resulting in the same error
message.
Add more detailed error reporting to the various failure points. At the
same time, we know this is only called from tap_sock_tun_init() which will
terminate pasta if we fail, so we can simplify things a little because we
don't need to close() the fd on the failure paths.

ns_enter() returns an integer... but it's always zero. If we actually fail
the function doesn't return. Therefore it makes more sense for this to be
a function returning void, and we can remove the cases where we pointlessly
checked its return value.
In addition ns_enter() is usually called from an ephemeral thread created
by NS_CALL(). That means that the exit(EXIT_FAILURE) there usually won't
be reported (since NS_CALL() doesn't wait() for the thread). So, use die()
instead to print out some information in the unlikely event that our
setns() here does fail.
