[PATCH v3 0/8] use true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts
by Jon Maloy 29 Jun '25

29 Jun '25

Bug #120 asks us to use the true MAC addresses of LAN local remote hosts, since some programs need this information. These commits introduces this for ARP, NDP, UDP, TCP and ICMP. --- v3: Updated according to feedback from Stefano and David: - Made the ARP/NDP lookup call filter out the requested address by itself, qualified by the index if the template interface - Moved the flow specific MAC address from struct flowside to struct flow_common. Jon Maloy (8): netlink: Add function to extract MAC addresses from NDP/ARP table arp/ndp: respond with true MAC address of LAN local remote hosts flow: add MAC address of LAN local remote hosts to flow udp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface tcp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface tap: change signature of function tap_push_l2h() tcp: make tcp_rst_no_conn() respond with correct MAC address icmp: let icmp use mac address from flowside structure arp.c | 9 ++++++++ flow.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++- flow.h | 2 ++ fwd.c | 2 +- fwd.h | 3 ++- icmp.c | 4 ++-- inany.c | 15 ++++++++++++ inany.h | 1 + ndp.c | 11 ++++++++- netlink.c | 62 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ netlink.h | 2 ++ tap.c | 24 +++++++++++-------- tap.h | 7 +++--- tcp.c | 22 +++++++++++++++--- tcp_buf.c | 27 +++++++++++----------- tcp_internal.h | 2 +- tcp_vu.c | 5 ++-- udp.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 18 files changed, 207 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) -- 2.48.1

[PATCH v7 00/31] Introduce discontiguous frames management
by Laurent Vivier 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

This series introduces iov_tail to convey frame information between functions. This is only an API change, for the moment the memory pool is only able to store contiguous buffer, so, except for vhost-user in a special case, we only play with iovec array with only one entry. v7: - Add a patch to fix comment style of 'Return:' - Fix ignore_arp()/accept_arp() - Fix coverity error - Fix several comments v6: - Replaced iov_slice() with the clearer iov_tail_clone() for creating iovec subsets. - Standardized local header variable names (to *_storage suffix). - Renamed functions for better semantics (e.g., ignore_arp to accept_arp, packet_data to packet_get). - Corrected OPTLEN_MAX definition in TCP. - Addressed minor logic issues (e.g., DHCPv6 FQDN flags, NDP null check). - Updated ipv6_l4hdr() return type to boolean. - Improved comments and documentation across several modules. v5: - store in the pool iovec array with several entries v4: Prepare to introduce iovec array in the pool: - passe iov_tail rather than pool to ndp,icmp, dhcp, dhcpv6 and arp - remove unused pool macros - add memory regions in the pool structure, this will allow us to use the buf pointer to store the iovec array for vhost-user v3: Address comments from David Laurent Vivier (31): style: Fix 'Return' comment style arp: Don't mix incoming and outgoing buffers iov: Introduce iov_tail_clone() and iov_tail_drop(). iov: Update IOV_REMOVE_HEADER() and IOV_PEEK_HEADER() tap: Use iov_tail with tap_add_packet() packet: Use iov_tail with packet_add() packet: Add packet_data() arp: Convert to iov_tail ndp: Convert to iov_tail icmp: Convert to iov_tail udp: Convert to iov_tail tcp: Convert tcp_tap_handler() to use iov_tail tcp: Convert tcp_data_from_tap() to use iov_tail dhcpv6: move offset initialization out of dhcpv6_opt() dhcpv6: Extract sending of NotOnLink status dhcpv6: Convert to iov_tail dhcpv6: Use iov_tail in dhcpv6_opt() dhcp: Convert to iov_tail ip: Use iov_tail in ipv6_l4hdr() tap: Convert tap4_handler() to iov_tail tap: Convert tap6_handler() to iov_tail packet: rename packet_data() to packet_get() arp: use iov_tail rather than pool dhcp: use iov_tail rather than pool dhcpv6: use iov_tail rather than pool icmp: use iov_tail rather than pool ndp: use iov_tail rather than pool packet: remove PACKET_POOL() and PACKET_POOL_P() packet: remove unused parameter from PACKET_POOL_DECL() packet: add memory regions information into pool packet: use buf to store iovec array arp.c | 86 ++++++++++++------- arp.h | 2 +- checksum.c | 4 +- conf.c | 12 +-- dhcp.c | 48 ++++++----- dhcp.h | 2 +- dhcpv6.c | 223 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- dhcpv6.h | 2 +- flow.c | 4 +- flow_table.h | 2 +- icmp.c | 43 ++++++---- icmp.h | 2 +- inany.c | 4 +- iov.c | 118 ++++++++++++++++++++++---- iov.h | 58 +++++++++---- ip.c | 32 ++++---- ip.h | 3 +- lineread.c | 2 +- ndp.c | 16 +++- ndp.h | 4 +- packet.c | 227 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- packet.h | 57 ++++++------- pcap.c | 1 + tap.c | 134 +++++++++++++++++------------- tap.h | 8 +- tcp.c | 67 ++++++++++----- tcp_buf.c | 2 +- tcp_splice.c | 4 +- tcp_vu.c | 4 +- udp.c | 37 ++++++--- udp_vu.c | 6 +- util.c | 6 +- util.h | 4 +- vhost_user.c | 72 ++++++++-------- virtio.c | 6 +- virtio.h | 24 ++++-- vu_common.c | 48 ++++------- 37 files changed, 870 insertions(+), 504 deletions(-) -- 2.49.0

[PATCH] style: Fix 'Return' comment style
by Laurent Vivier 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

We always use imperative (no 'Returns:'), no tab after the ':' and only one space, the first character is always lowercase. This is fixed with: sed -i "s/Returns:/Return:/;s/Return: /Return: /;s/Return: */Return: /;s/Return: $[A-Z]$/Return: \L\1/" *.[ch] And manually updated to fix alignment of multiline comment and words that must keep uppercase (like IPv4, TCP, UDP).

[PATCH v2] style: Fix 'Return' comment style
by Laurent Vivier 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

We always use imperative (no 'Returns:'), no tab after the ':' and only one space, the first character is always lowercase. This is fixed with: sed -i "s/Returns:/Return:/;s/Return: /Return: /;s/Return: */Return: /;s/Return: $[A-Z]$/Return: \L\1/" *.[ch] And manually updated to fix alignment of multiline comment and words that must keep uppercase (like IPv4, TCP, UDP, Layer-4).

This is only an API change, for the moment the memory pool is only able to store contiguous buffer, so, except for vhost-user in a special case, we only play with iovec array with only one entry. v6: - Replaced iov_slice() with the clearer iov_tail_clone() for creating iovec subsets. - Standardized local header variable names (to *_storage suffix). - Renamed functions for better semantics (e.g., ignore_arp to accept_arp, packet_data to packet_get). - Corrected OPTLEN_MAX definition in TCP. - Addressed minor logic issues (e.g., DHCPv6 FQDN flags, NDP null check). - Updated ipv6_l4hdr() return type to boolean. - Improved comments and documentation across several modules. v5: - store in the pool iovec array with several entries v4: Prepare to introduce iovec array in the pool: - passe iov_tail rather than pool to ndp,icmp, dhcp, dhcpv6 and arp - remove unused pool macros - add memory regions in the pool structure, this will allow us to use the buf pointer to store the iovec array for vhost-user v3: Address comments from David Laurent Vivier (30): arp: Don't mix incoming and outgoing buffers iov: Introduce iov_tail_clone() and iov_tail_drop(). iov: Update IOV_REMOVE_HEADER() and IOV_PEEK_HEADER() tap: Use iov_tail with tap_add_packet() packet: Use iov_tail with packet_add() packet: Add packet_data() arp: Convert to iov_tail ndp: Convert to iov_tail icmp: Convert to iov_tail udp: Convert to iov_tail tcp: Convert tcp_tap_handler() to use iov_tail tcp: Convert tcp_data_from_tap() to use iov_tail dhcpv6: move offset initialization out of dhcpv6_opt() dhcpv6: Extract sending of NotOnLink status dhcpv6: Convert to iov_tail dhcpv6: Use iov_tail in dhcpv6_opt() dhcp: Convert to iov_tail ip: Use iov_tail in ipv6_l4hdr() tap: Convert tap4_handler() to iov_tail tap: Convert tap6_handler() to iov_tail packet: rename packet_data() to packet_get() arp: use iov_tail rather than pool dhcp: use iov_tail rather than pool dhcpv6: use iov_tail rather than pool icmp: use iov_tail rather than pool ndp: use iov_tail rather than pool packet: remove PACKET_POOL() and PACKET_POOL_P() packet: remove unused parameter from PACKET_POOL_DECL() packet: add memory regions information into pool packet: use buf to store iovec array arp.c | 86 ++++++++++++------- arp.h | 2 +- dhcp.c | 47 ++++++----- dhcp.h | 2 +- dhcpv6.c | 222 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- dhcpv6.h | 2 +- icmp.c | 41 ++++++---- icmp.h | 2 +- iov.c | 102 +++++++++++++++++++++-- iov.h | 58 +++++++++---- ip.c | 32 ++++---- ip.h | 3 +- ndp.c | 16 +++- ndp.h | 4 +- packet.c | 227 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- packet.h | 57 ++++++------- pcap.c | 1 + tap.c | 134 +++++++++++++++++------------- tap.h | 4 +- tcp.c | 61 ++++++++++---- tcp_buf.c | 2 +- udp.c | 33 +++++--- vhost_user.c | 28 +++---- virtio.c | 4 +- virtio.h | 18 +++- vu_common.c | 48 ++++------- 26 files changed, 799 insertions(+), 437 deletions(-) -- 2.49.0

[PATCH] fedora: Hide restorecon(8) errors in post-transaction scriptlet
by Stefano Brivio 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

Commit e01932353869 ("fedora: Separately restore context for /run/user in %posttrans selinux") added a call to restorecon for /run/user in the passt-selinux post-transaction scriptlet, and we can't give a path that's more specific than that, but it often contains FUSE mountpoints that are not accessible as root, resulting in warnings as the package is installed. Hide the errors, a failure in relabeling wouldn't be really problematic in any case.

vhost-kernel net on pasta: from 26 to 37Gbit/s
by Eugenio Perez Martin 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

Hi! Some updates on the integration. The main culprit was to allow pasta to keep reading packets using the regular read() on the tap device. I thought that part was completely disabled, but I guess the kernel is able to omit the notification on tap as long as the userspace does not read it. My scenario: in different CPUs, all in the same NUMA. I run iperf server on CPU 11 with "iperf3 -A 11 -s". All odds CPUs are isolated with isolcpus=1,3,... nohz=on nohz_full=1,3,... With vanilla pasta isolated to CPUs 1,3 with taskset, and just --config-net option, and running iperf with "iperf3 -A 5 -c 10.6.68.254 -w 8M": - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 30.7 GBytes 26.4 Gbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 30.7 GBytes 26.3 Gbits/sec receiver Now trying with the vhost patches we get a slightly worse performance: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 25.5 GBytes 21.9 Gbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 25.5 GBytes 21.8 Gbits/sec receiver Now vhost patch still lacks optimizations like disabling notifications or batch more rx available buffer notifications. At the moment it refills the rx buffers in each iteration, and does not set the no_notify bit which makes the kernel skip the used buffer notifications if pasta is actively checking the queue, which is not optimal. Now if I isolate the vhost kernel thread [1] I get way more performance as expected: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 43.1 GBytes 37.1 Gbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 43.1 GBytes 36.9 Gbits/sec receiver After analyzing perf output, rep_movs_alternative is the most called function in the three iperf3 (~20%Self), passt.avx2 (~15%Self) and vhost (~15%Self), But I don't see any of them consuming 100% of CPU in top: pasta consumes ~85% %CPU, both iperf3 client and server consumes 60%, and vhost consumes ~53%. So... I have mixed feelings about this :). By "default" it seems to have less performance, but my test is maybe too synthetic. There is room for improvement with the mentioned optimizations so I'd continue applying them, continuing with UDP and TCP zerocopy, and developing zerocopy vhost rx. With these numbers I think the series should not be merged at the moment. I could send it as RFC if you want but I've not applied the comments the first one received, POC style :). Thanks! [1] Notes to reproduce it, I'm able to see it with top -H and then set with taskset. Either the latest changes on the module or the way pasta behaves does not allow me to see in classical ps output.
