2023-07-26session: use session error type instead of vnet errorFilip Tehlar1-1/+2
Type: improvement Change-Id: Ie0bad9e03ac2e29da23af01ee7f63cb44489ad9c Signed-off-by: Filip Tehlar <ftehlar@cisco.com>
2023-04-28session: update due to clib_socket refactoringNathan Skrzypczak1-6/+0
After the clib_socket_init syntax changed, the behavior of VCL socket creation was broken. This patch introduces app_namespace_add_del_v4 to address the behavioral change.

Type: feature This adds an API message to do the switch at runtime. Change-Id: Ice6b69c57f0bfbf5668182e25593362ff4133615 Signed-off-by: Nathan Skrzypczak <nathan.skrzypczak@gmail.com>

2021-09-16session: Add sock_name option to add_nsNathan Skrzypczak1-3/+4
This adds a new API call to add session namespaces It now takes a netns and a sock_name. (1) If no netns is passed, sock_name will be used as socket path. Defaulting to /run/vpp/app_ns_sockets/${ns_id} (2) If a netns is passed, the sock_name has to be abstract (i.e. start with '@'). It will default to `@vpp/session/${ns_id}` and will be created in the provided netns.

2021-07-23session vcl: support abstract sockets for app nsFlorin Coras1-0/+6
App namespaces can now be associated to a linux ip netns, e.g.: app ns add id <ns_id> secret <n> sw_if_index <n> netns <netns> If session layer's app sock api is enabled, this triggers the creation of an abstract listening socket in the netns that has been configured. For the example above that would be @vpp/session/<ns_id>. Consequently, vcl, or other apps attaching to vpp, can connect to said abstract socket from an ip netns without the need to share unix domain socket files. In particular, for vcl it's enough to set app-socket-api to @vpp/session/<ns_id> in the conf file.

2020-09-14session: add unix socket api for app attachmentFlorin Coras1-0/+76
This is an af_unix socket alternative to the binary api. To enable it, add use-app-socket-api under session stanza in startup.conf. When the socket api is enabled, attachments through the binary api are disabled. The socket api only works with memfd fifo segments, i.e., shm segments are not supported.

2019-02-04session: cleanup part 1Florin Coras1-1/+1
Rename core data structures. This will break compatibility for out of tree builtin apps. - stream_session_t to session_t - server_rx/tx_fifo to rx/tx_fifo - stream_session.h to session_types.h - update copyright Change-Id: I414097c6e28bcbea866fbf13b8773c7db3f49325 Signed-off-by: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com>
2017-10-28session: rules tablesFlorin Coras1-0/+9
This introduces 5-tuple lookup tables that may be used to implement custom session layer actions at connection establishment time (session layer perspective). The rules table build mask-match-action lookup trees that for a given 5-tuple key return the action for the first longest match. If rules overlap, ordering is established by tuple longest match with the following descending priority: remote ip, local ip, remote port, local port. At this time, the only match action supported is to forward packets to the application identified by the action.

2017-10-10session: add support for application namespacingFlorin Coras1-0/+83
Applications are now provided the option to select the namespace they are to be attached to and the scope of their attachement. Application namespaces are meant to: 1) constrain the scope of communication through the network by association with source interfaces and/or fib tables that provide the source ips to be used and limit the scope of routing 2) provide a namespace local scope to session layer communication, as opposed to the global scope provided by 1). That is, sessions can be established without assistance from transport and network layers. Albeit, zero/local-host ip addresses must still be provided in session establishment messages due to existing application idiosyncrasies. This mode of communication uses shared-memory fifos (cut-through sessions) exclusively. If applications request no namespace, they are assigned to the default one, which at its turn uses the default fib. Applications can request access to both local and global scopes for a namespace. If no scope is specified, session layer defaults to the global one. When a sw_if_index is provided for a namespace, zero-ip (INADDR_ANY) binds are converted to binds to the requested interface.
