Although fwd_rule_add() performs some sanity checks on the rule it is
given, there are invalid rules we don't check for, assuming that its
callers will do that.
That won't be enough when we can get rules inserted by a dynamic update
client without going through the existing parsing code. So, add stricter
checks to fwd_rule_add(), which is now possible thanks to the capabilities
bits in the struct fwd_table. Where those duplicate existing checks in the
callers, remove the old copies.

We want to move parsing of forward rule options to fwd_rule.c so it can
eventually be shared with a configuration client. As a preliminary step,
move the ephemeral port probing there, which that will need to use.

The code parsing command line options into forwarding rules has now been
decoupled from most of passt/pasta's internals. This is good, because
we'll soon want to share it with a configuration update client.
Make the next step by moving this code into fwd_rule.[ch].

2bffb631d31e ("fwd_rule: Move rule conflict checking from fwd_rule_add()
to caller") moved rule conflict checking out of fwd_rule_add(). This
seemed like a good idea at the time, but turns out to be kind of awkward:
it means we're now checking for conflicts *before* we've checked the rule
for internal consistency (including first <= last), which leaves an awkward
assert() which might fire in unexpected places.
While it's true that it's not really necessary to include this in order to
safely add a rule, the benefits from skipping it are pretty marginal. So,
for simplicity, fold this check back into fwd_rule_add(), making it
non-fatal. If we ever have cases with enough rules that the O(n^2) nature
of the check matters, we might need to revisit.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
fwd_rules_info() is used to print a full table of forwarding rules for
debugging or the like. Currently it has one caller, and uses info() to
dump the messages. However for the upcoming configuration client, we're
going to want to dump the rules in some similar, but not quite identical
ways. For example, at different severity levels, or to stdout instead of
stderr / system log / logfile.
So, generalise fwd_rules_info() to fwd_rules_dump() which takes a printing
function as a parameter. Because we want this to work with "functions"
like info, which is actually a macro, we have to convert fwd_rules_dump()
to a macro as well. We also allow the prefix and suffix for each rule /
line to be provided as a parameter.

All current pif names are quite short, and we expect them to remain short
when/if we allow arbitrary pifs. However, because of the structure of
the current code we don't enforce any limit on the length.
This will become more important with dynamic configuration updates, so
start enforcing a length limit. Specifically we allow pif names to be up
to 128 bytes (PIF_NAME_SIZE), including the terminating \0. This is
more or less arbitrary, but seems like it should be comfortably enough for
all the cases we have in mind.

The new warnings in fwd_rule_add() have some not quite technically correct
format specifiers. For some weird reason these don't trip warnings on
passt itself, but do when we re-use this code in the upcoming configuration

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
In pesto we're going to want several levels of error/warning messages, much
like passt itself. Particularly as we start to share mode code between
passt and pesto, we want to use a similar interface to emit those. However
we don't want to use the same implementation - logging to a file or syslog
doesn't make sense for the command line tool.
To accomplish this loosely share log.h, but not log.c between pesto and
passt. In fact, an #ifdef means even most of log.h isn't actually shared,
but we do provide similar warn(), die() etc. macros.
This includes the *_perror() variants, which need strerror(). However,
we want to avoid allocations for pesto as we do for passt, and strerror()
allocates in some libc versions. Therefore, also move our workaround for
this to be shared with pesto.

Start implementing pesto in earnest. Create a control/configuration
socket in passt. Have pesto connect to it and retrieve a server greeting
Perform some basic version checking.

[sbrivio: Avoid potential recursive calling between conf_accept() and
conf_close(), reported by clang-tidy]
[sbrivio: In conf(), check we're not exceeding sizeof(c->control_path)
instead of sizeof(c->socket_path), and, in pesto's main(), print
argv[optind] instead of argv[1] to indicate an invalid socket path,
both reported by Jon Maloy]
[sbrivio: In pesto's main(), drop unnecessary newline from error
message, reported by Laurent]
[sbrivio: Don't use SOCK_NONBLOCK on accept4(), as that only applies
to the *new* file descriptor, which we don't want -- set O_NONBLOCK
on the listening file descriptor using fcntl()]
[sbrivio: Switch to protocol version 1, and reflect the true magic
behind pesto, i.e. basil, into the magic string]

not merging a previous series reworking it]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Most things in ip.[ch] related purely to IP addresses and headers with
no dependency on other passt/pasta internals. A number of these will be
useful to re-use in pesto. The exception is ipv6_l4hdr() which uses
iov_tail.
The only caller of this is in tap.c, so move the function there. Along
with moving the constant byteswapping functions to common.h, that lets
ip.[ch] to be linked into pesto as well as passt/pasta.

which might be IPv4 or IPv6. We're going to want to use that in pesto.
For the most part inany doesn't depend on other passt/pasta internals,
however it does depend on siphash.h, which pesto doesn't need.
Move the single dependent function, inany_siphash_feed() to siphash.h,
renaming to match. Use that include inany.[ch] into pesto as well as
passt/pasta. While we're there reformat pesto.c's header comment to match
the convention used in most other files.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Implement serialisation of our current forwarding rules in conf.c,
deserialising it to display in the pesto client. Doing this requires
adding ip.c, inany.c, bitmap.c, lineread.c and fwd_rule.c to the pesto
build. With previous preparations that now requires only a trivial change
to lineread.c.

adds them to the existing rules. It doesn't yet send those rules back to

Extend pesto to send the updated rule configuration back to passt/pasta.
Extend passt/pasta to read the new configuration and store the new rules in
a "pending" table. We don't yet attempt to activate them.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
We can now receive updates to the forwarding rules from the pesto client
and store them in a "pending" copy of the forwarding tables. Implement
switching to using the new rules.
The logic is in a new fwd_listen_switch(). For now this closes all
listening sockets related to the old tables, swaps the active and pending
tables, then listens based on the new tables. In future we look to improve
this so that we don't temporarily stop listening on ports that both the
old and new tables specify.
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
[sbrivio: In fwd_listen_switch(), use the destination size as argument

The new checks are actually sufficient but not enough for Coverity
Scan. Now that fwd->sock_count and new->last are affected or supplied
by clients, we need explicit (albeit redundant) checks on them.

Thanks for the extra details. I still think this can probably be done
more neatly. but it's good enough for the time being.

Instead of just being able to add to the existing tables, implement
an explicit --clear option to replace them, which now becomes the
default behaviour, and implement explicit --add and --delete options
to maintain the table and add or delete specific ports.
The option --clear PIF forces the clearing of a table, instead.
These options can be combined arbitrarily and are handled as
sequential commands, as now described in pesto(1).
If no option is given before forwarding specifiers for a matching
table, the command line is interpreted as a replacement of the
existing rules.
To this end:
- there's no protocol change, as pesto is anyway sending updated
copies of the table
- the forwarding table functions now include a new fwd_rule_del(),
which deletes existing rule only if a matching one is found
- a trivial fwd_rule_clear() is factored out from the existing
conf_handler() implementation, so that it can be directly used
in pesto
The entry points for parsing of port specifiers now take an additional
'del' parameter which is passed down all the way before reaching the
fwd_rule_add() implementation. If a rule should be deleted, at that
point, fwd_rule_del() is called instead.

+.SH NOTES
+
+.SS Adding, deleting, clearing rules
+
+The options \fB--add\fR, \fB--delete\fR, and \fB--clear\fR are handled as
+sequential commands to manipulate the current forwarding tables. If none of them
+is given, forwarding specifiers for a given table are intended as replacement of
+the corresponding table. That is:
+
+.nf
+ pesto -t 1024 -U 1025
+.fi
+
+will \fBreplace\fR the current TCP inbound port forwarding table with a single
+rule, forwarding port 1024, and will similarly replace the UDP outbound
+forwarding table with a single forwarding rule for port 1025. This usage is a
+short-hand form for:
+
+.nf
+ pesto -C HOST -t 1024 -C SPLICE -U 1025
+.fi
+
+The options \fB--add\fR and \fB--delete\fR are used to \fBadd new specific
+rules or delete existing ones\fR, instead of replacing tables. For example:
+
+.nf
+ pesto -A -t 2000 -D -t 3000 -U 5000
+.fi
+
+will add a forwarding rule for inbound TCP port 2000, and delete inbound TCP
+port 3000 as well as outbound UDP port 5000 from the existing set of rules.
+
+All these options are interpreted as sequential commands and can be arbitrarily
+combined. For example:
+
+.nf
+ pesto -A -t 2000 -C HOST -A -T 3000 -t 2001 -D -u 5000
+.fi
+
+will, in order:

So we remove the entire rule that matches, not only the part of the new rule that matches?

We could / should split ranges derived from a rule, yes, but it's not
implemented here. For now, for simplicity, we'll just drop the whole
thing.
Podman doesn't allow overlapping ranges between different containers
anyway, so this isn't a practical problem anybody is going to hit in
the short term. In the slightly longer term, we should definitely do
better than this.
> And what if a new rule conflicts with two existing rules?
David raised that concern in:
<afsASt0TWXFQovjJ@zatzit>
https://archives.passt.top/passt-dev/afsASt0TWXFQovjJ@zatzit/
...we'll delete the first one which conflicts, at the moment. It's not
great but again it's fine for Podman usage, and we can improve the
implementation in a bit.

Ouch, nice catch, I rewrote this part after testing -T / -U and forgot
to check it again. :( I'll fix this in v10 as well.

...on the other hand, I just checked things with a trivial function
just doing memcmp(), to implement David's proposal about sticking to
exact matches only, and it all seems to work (with or without interface
names, with or without IPv4 / IPv6 mix-ups, etc.).
I didn't expect it to be so simple. Let me change that in v10 as well.

It needs to connect to passt and pasta, whether they're started as
root or not, and the control socket can be anywhere.

Loosely inspired by passt-repair's policy: pesto needs to be able to
run, check networking entries under /proc (for ip_local_port_range),
talk to passt and pasta, wherever the control socket is.
