2021-01-28Change tcpip.Error to an interfaceTamir Duberstein
This makes it possible to add data to types that implement tcpip.Error. ErrBadLinkEndpoint is removed as it is unused. PiperOrigin-RevId: 354437314
2021-01-15Only pass stack.Route's fields to LinkEndpointsGhanan Gowripalan
stack.Route is used to send network packets and resolve link addresses. A LinkEndpoint does not need to do either of these and only needs the route's fields at the time of the packet write request. Since LinkEndpoints only need the route's fields when writing packets, pass a stack.RouteInfo instead. PiperOrigin-RevId: 352108405
2020-11-18Introduce stack.WritePacketToRemote, remove LinkEndpoint.WriteRawPacketBruno Dal Bo
Redefine stack.WritePacket into stack.WritePacketToRemote which lets the NIC decide whether to append link headers. PiperOrigin-RevId: 343071742
2020-08-13Migrate to PacketHeader API for PacketBuffer.Ting-Yu Wang
Formerly, when a packet is constructed or parsed, all headers are set by the client code. This almost always involved prepending to pk.Header buffer or trimming pk.Data portion. This is known to prone to bugs, due to the complexity and number of the invariants assumed across netstack to maintain. In the new PacketHeader API, client will call Push()/Consume() method to construct/parse an outgoing/incoming packet. All invariants, such as slicing and trimming, are maintained by the API itself. NewPacketBuffer() is introduced to create new PacketBuffer. Zero value is no longer valid. PacketBuffer now assumes the packet is a concatenation of following portions: * LinkHeader * NetworkHeader * TransportHeader * Data Any of them could be empty, or zero-length.

2020-07-22Support for receiving outbound packets in AF_PACKET.Bhasker Hariharan
Updates #173 PiperOrigin-RevId: 322665518
2020-07-15Fix minor bugs in a couple of interface IOCTLs.Bhasker Hariharan
gVisor incorrectly returns the wrong ARP type for SIOGIFHWADDR. This breaks tcpdump as it tries to interpret the packets incorrectly. Similarly, SIOCETHTOOL is used by tcpdump to query interface properties which fails with an EINVAL since we don't implement it. For now change it to return EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that we don't support the query rather than return EINVAL. NOTE: ARPHRD types for link endpoints are distinct from NIC capabilities and NIC flags. In Linux all 3 exist eg. ARPHRD types are stored in dev->type field while NIC capabilities are more like the device features which can be queried using SIOCETHTOOL but not modified and NIC Flags are fields that can be modified from user space. eg. NIC status (UP/DOWN/MULTICAST/BROADCAST) etc. Updates #2746 PiperOrigin-RevId: 321436525
2020-06-22Extract common nested LinkEndpoint patternBruno Dal Bo
... and unify logic for detached netsted endpoints. sniffer.go caused crashes if a packet delivery is attempted when the dispatcher is nil. Extracted the endpoint nesting logic into a common composable type so it can be used by the Fuchsia Netstack (the pattern is widespread there). PiperOrigin-RevId: 317682842
