[PATCH 0/4] Debugging improvements, fix for 0 sequence echo reply

[PATCH 0/4] Debugging improvements, fix for 0 sequence echo reply

[Stefano Brivio]

Patches 1/4 to 3/4 make debugging of the issue solved in 4/4 more
viable.

Stefano Brivio (4):
  conf, passt.1: Don't imply --foreground with --debug
  tap: Trace received (outbound) ICMP packets in debug mode, too
  icmp: Add debugging messages for handled replies and requests
  icmp: Don't discard first reply sequence for a given echo ID

[PATCH 1/4] conf, passt.1: Don't imply --foreground with --debug

[Stefano Brivio]

Having -f implied by -d (and --trace) usually saves some typing, but
debug mode in background (with a log file) is quite useful if pasta
is started by Podman, and is probably going to be handy for passt
with libvirt later, too.

[PATCH 2/4] tap: Trace received (outbound) ICMP packets in debug mode, too

[Stefano Brivio]

This only worked for ICMPv6: ICMP packets have no TCP-style header,
so they are handled as a special case before packet sequences are
formed, and the call to tap_packet_debug() was missing.

Fixes: bb708111833e ("treewide: Packet abstraction with mandatory boundary checks")

[PATCH 4/4] icmp: Don't discard first reply sequence for a given echo ID

[Stefano Brivio]

In pasta mode, ICMP and ICMPv6 echo sockets relay back to us any
reply we send: we're on the same host as the target, after all. We
discard them by comparing the last sequence we sent with the sequence
we receive.

However, on the first reply for a given identifier, the sequence
might be zero, depending on the implementation of ping(8): we need
another value to indicate we haven't sent any sequence number, yet.

Use -1 as initialiser in the echo identifier map.

This is visible with Busybox's ping, and was reported by Paul on the
integration at https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/16141, with:

  $ podman run --net=pasta alpine ping -c 2 192.168.188.1

...where only the second reply would be routed back.

Fixes: 33482d5bf293 ("passt: Add PASTA mode, major rework")
