ipcpd: Add ipcpd over UDP/IPv6

2025-09-10T06:19:52+00:00

This adds an IPCP that runs over UDP/IPv6. It's structured like the eth-dix and eth-llc in that it builds two separate binaries: ipcpd-udp4 and ipcpd-udp6. The IRM CLI is backwards compatible in that type 'udp' will resolve to type 'udp4'. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Update DHT for unicast layer

2025-08-06T10:34:15+00:00

This is a rewrite of the DHT for name-to-address resolution in the unicast layer. It is now integrated as a proper directory policy. The dir_wait_running function is removed, instead the a DHT peer is passed on during IPCP enrolment. Each DHT request/response gets a random 64-bit ID ('cookie'). DHT messages to the same peer are deduped, except in the case when the DHT is low on contacts. In that case, it will contact the per it received at enrolment for more contacts. To combat packet loss, these messages are not deduped by means of a 'magic cookie', chosen at random when the DHT starts. The DHT parameters (Kademlia) can be set using the configfile or the IRM command line tools: if DIRECTORY_POLICY == DHT [dht_alpha (default: 3)] [dht_k (default: 8)] [dht_t_expire (default: 86400)] [dht_t_refresh (default: 900)] [dht_t_replicate (default: 900)] This commit also adds support for a protocol debug level (PP). Protocol debugging for the DHT can be enabled using the DEBUG_PROTO_DHT build flag. The DHT has the following message types: DHT_STORE, sent to k peers. Not acknowledged. DHT_STORE --> [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. key: bcc236ab6ec69e65 [32 bytes] val: 00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes] exp: 2025-08-03 17:29:44 (UTC). DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ, sent to 'alpha' peers, with a corresponding response. This is used to update the peer routing table to iteratively look for the nodes with IDs closest to the requested key. DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ --> [a62f92abffb451c4|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 2d4b7acef8308210 key: a62f92abffb451c4 [32 bytes] DHT_FIND_NODE_RSP <-- [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 2d4b7acef8308210 key: a62f92abffb451c4 [32 bytes] contacts: [1] [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb] DHT_FIND_VALUE_REQ, sent to 'k' peers, with a corresponding response. Used to find a value for a key. Will also send its closest known peers in the response. DHT_FIND_VALUE_REQ --> [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 80a1adcb09a2ff0a key: 42dee3b0415b4f69 [32 bytes] DHT_FIND_VALUE_RSP <-- [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 80a1adcb09a2ff0a key: 42dee3b0415b4f69 [32 bytes] values: [1] 00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes] contacts: [1] [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb] Also removes ubuntu 20 from appveyor config as it is not supported anymore.

ipcpd: Refactor ipcp main struct

2025-07-23T13:07:59+00:00

The ipcpi (IPCP instance) is now cleanly tucked away within its source file instead of exposed all over the place. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Revise app flow allocation

2024-02-23T15:41:37+00:00

This revises the application flow allocator to use the flow_info struct/message between the components. Revises the messaging to move the use protocol buffers to its own source (serdes-irm). Adds a timeout to the IRMd flow allocator to make sure flow allocations don't hang forever (this was previously taken care of by the sanitize thread).

irmd: Revise IRMd internals

2024-02-19T10:49:07+00:00

This is a full revision of the IRMd internal implementation. The registry is now a proper subcomponent managing its own internal lock (a single mutex). Some tests are added for the registry and its data structures. Some macros for tests are added in . Flow allocation is now more symmetric between the client side (alloc) and server size (accept). Each will create a flow in pending state (ALLOC_PENDING/ACCEPT_PENDING) that is potentially fulfilled by an IPCP using respond_alloc and respond_accept primitives. Deallocation is split in flow_dealloc (application side) and ipcp_flow_dealloc (IPCP side) to get the flow in DEALLOC_PENDING and DEALLOCATED state. Cleanup of failed flow allocation is now properly handled instead of relying on the sanitizer thread. The new sanitizer only needs to monitor crashed processes. On shutdown, the IRMd will now detect hanging processes and SIGKILL them and clean up their fuse mountpoints if needed. A lot of other things have been cleaned up and shuffled around a bit.

ipcpd: Fix hash conversion in ipcpd-udp

The bootstrap function was not returning the correct hash. Bug introduced in 99545fa2. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

include: Use common definition between lib and IRMd

2024-01-31T09:27:56+00:00

Some definitions/enums were different between the library and IRMd (flow_state, ipcp_state). This moves them to common ground. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

include: Rename layer.layer_name to layer.name

The layer_info had a member layer_name which is a bit redundant. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Fix eth management packets blocking rdrbuff

2023-11-26T14:51:53+00:00

The ipcpd-eth-* reserve a packet buffer slot for the N+1 data packets whenever receiving a frame. For management frames, that slot is not needed and it was not released, thus blocking the rdrbuff. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
