Overview

Package fdbased provides the implemention of data-link layer endpoints backed by boundary-preserving file descriptors (e.g., TUN devices, seqpacket/datagram sockets).

FD based endpoints can be used in the networking stack by calling New() to create a new endpoint, and then passing it as an argument to Stack.CreateNIC().

FD based endpoints can use more than one file descriptor to read incoming packets. If there are more than one FDs specified and the underlying FD is an AF_PACKET then the endpoint will enable FANOUT mode on the socket so that the host kernel will consistently hash the packets to the sockets. This ensures that packets for the same TCP streams are not reordered.

Similarly if more than one FD's are specified where the underlying FD is not AF_PACKET then it's the caller's responsibility to ensure that all inbound packets on the descriptors are consistently 5 tuple hashed to one of the descriptors to prevent TCP reordering.

Since netstack today does not compute 5 tuple hashes for outgoing packets we only use the first FD to write outbound packets. Once 5 tuple hashes for all outbound packets are available we will make use of all underlying FD's to write outbound packets.

BufConfig defines the shape of the vectorised view used to read packets from the NIC.

Functions

func New 

func New(opts *Options) (stack.LinkEndpoint, error)

New creates a new fd-based endpoint.

Makes fd non-blocking, but does not take ownership of fd, which must remain open for the lifetime of the returned endpoint (until after the endpoint has stopped being using and Wait returns).

Types

type InjectableEndpoint 

type InjectableEndpoint struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

InjectableEndpoint is an injectable fd-based endpoint. The endpoint writes to the FD, but does not read from it. All reads come from injected packets.

func NewInjectable 

func NewInjectable(fd int, mtu uint32, capabilities stack.LinkEndpointCapabilities) *InjectableEndpoint

NewInjectable creates a new fd-based InjectableEndpoint.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) ARPHardwareType 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) ARPHardwareType() header.ARPHardwareType

ARPHardwareType implements stack.LinkEndpoint.ARPHardwareType.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) AddHeader 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) AddHeader(local, remote tcpip.LinkAddress, protocol tcpip.NetworkProtocolNumber, pkt *stack.PacketBuffer)

AddHeader implements stack.LinkEndpoint.AddHeader.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) Attach 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) Attach(dispatcher stack.NetworkDispatcher)

Attach saves the stack network-layer dispatcher for use later when packets are injected.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) Capabilities 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) Capabilities() stack.LinkEndpointCapabilities

Capabilities implements stack.LinkEndpoint.Capabilities.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) GSOMaxSize 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) GSOMaxSize() uint32

GSOMaxSize implements stack.GSOEndpoint.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) InjectInbound 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) InjectInbound(protocol tcpip.NetworkProtocolNumber, pkt *stack.PacketBuffer)

InjectInbound injects an inbound packet.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) InjectOutbound 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) InjectOutbound(dest tcpip.Address, packet []byte) tcpip.Error

InjectOutobund implements stack.InjectableEndpoint.InjectOutbound.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) IsAttached 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) IsAttached() bool

IsAttached implements stack.LinkEndpoint.IsAttached.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) LinkAddress 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) LinkAddress() tcpip.LinkAddress

LinkAddress returns the link address of this endpoint.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) MTU 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) MTU() uint32

MTU implements stack.LinkEndpoint.MTU. It returns the value initialized during construction.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) MaxHeaderLength 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) MaxHeaderLength() uint16

MaxHeaderLength returns the maximum size of the link-layer header.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) SupportedGSO 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) SupportedGSO() stack.SupportedGSO

SupportsHWGSO implements stack.GSOEndpoint.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) Wait 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) Wait()

Wait implements stack.LinkEndpoint.Wait. It waits for the endpoint to stop reading from its FD.

func (*InjectableEndpoint) WritePackets 

func (e *InjectableEndpoint) WritePackets(_ stack.RouteInfo, pkts stack.PacketBufferList, _ tcpip.NetworkProtocolNumber) (int, tcpip.Error)

WritePackets writes outbound packets to the underlying file descriptors. If one is not currently writable, the packet is dropped.

Being a batch API, each packet in pkts should have the following fields populated:

  • pkt.EgressRoute
  • pkt.GSOOptions
  • pkt.NetworkProtocolNumber

func (*InjectableEndpoint) WriteRawPacket 

func (*InjectableEndpoint) WriteRawPacket(*stack.PacketBuffer) tcpip.Error

WriteRawPacket implements stack.LinkEndpoint.

	// any) closes its end of the communication pipe.

	// system call.
	MaxSyscallHeaderBytes int
}

Options specify the details about the fd-based endpoint to be created.

type PacketDispatchMode 

type PacketDispatchMode int

PacketDispatchMode are the various supported methods of receiving and dispatching packets from the underlying FD. 

const (
	// Readv is the default dispatch mode and is the least performant of the
	// dispatch options but the one that is supported by all underlying FD
	// types.
	Readv PacketDispatchMode = iota
	// RecvMMsg enables use of recvmmsg() syscall instead of readv() to
	// read inbound packets. This reduces # of syscalls needed to process
	// packets.
	//
	// NOTE: recvmmsg() is only supported for sockets, so if the underlying
	// FD is not a socket then the code will still fall back to the readv()
	// path.
	RecvMMsg
	// PacketMMap enables use of PACKET_RX_RING to receive packets from the
	// NIC. PacketMMap requires that the underlying FD be an AF_PACKET. The
	// primary use-case for this is runsc which uses an AF_PACKET FD to
	// receive packets from the veth device.
	PacketMMap
