2021-08-11[op] Make PacketBuffer Clone() do a deeper copy.Ayush Ranjan
Earlier PacketBuffer.Clone() would do a shallow top level copy of the packet buffer - which involved sharing the *buffer.Buffer between packets. Reading or writing to the buffer in one packet would impact the other. This caused modifications in one packet to affect the other's pkt.Views() which is not desired. Change the clone to do a deeper copy of the underlying buffer list and buffer pointers. The payload buffers (which are immutable) are still shared. This change makes the Clone() operation more expensive as we now need to allocate the entire buffer list. Added unit test to test integrity of packet data after cloning.

2021-05-13Migrate PacketBuffer to use pkg/bufferTing-Yu Wang
Benchmark iperf3: Before After native->runsc 5.14 5.01 (Gbps) runsc->native 4.15 4.07 (Gbps) It did introduce overhead, mainly at the bridge between pkg/buffer and VectorisedView, the ExtractVV method. Once endpoints start migrating away from VV, this overhead will be gone. Updates #2404 PiperOrigin-RevId: 373651666
2020-09-22pkg/buffer: Reorganize internal structure to allow dynamic sizes.Ting-Yu Wang
This change changes `buffer.data` into a `[]byte`, from `[bufferSize]byte`. In exchange, each `buffer` is now grouped together to reduce the number of allocation. Plus, `View` now holds an embeded list of `buffer` (via `pool`) to support the happy path which the number of buffer is small. Expect no extra allocation for the happy path. It is to enable the use case for PacketBuffer, which * each `View` is small (way less than `defaultBufferSize`), and * needs to dynamically transfer ownership of `[]byte` to `View`. (to allow gradual migration) PiperOrigin-RevId: 333197252

This also adds substantial test cases. The Read/Write interfaces are dropped as they are not necessary. PiperOrigin-RevId: 300461547
