The release merge PR. #2014, #2012, #2015, #1951 and #2020 (0.34.0 bump) were merged down into this branch; their descriptions cover their commits. On top of them:

  • fix(net): leave a transport checksum alone when its header outruns the datagram: the check/release failure in fix(net): adjust forwarded checksums instead of recomputing them #2014's checksum property.
  • fix(rate-limit): charge what the frame forwards past the IP header: a datagram with a large Ethernet trailer was billed only its IP length.
  • fix(frr): run the libatomic guard, and check for atomic symbols too and test(net): expect VXLAN flags to leave as they arrived: review fixes, see below.

The rest of this description is the PR's original change.

build(frr): skip the libgccjit build on x86_64 glibc

fancy.libatomic is a single file copied out of a full libgccjit build, i.e. gcc from source — the longest step in an image build. On x86_64 glibc no FRR object references libatomic (every atomic is inlined; checked across 28 x86_64 FRR builds against libatomic's 100 exports), but FRR still linked it, listed it in buildInputs, and kept it through nuke-refs, so gcc was built anyway.

It hurts most in sanitizer builds: fancy.libxcrypt is overridden per sanitizer, so libgccjit gets a new hash in every sanitizer flavour and an ASan/TSan build rebuilds gcc.

Change

  • nix/overlays/frr.nix: new drop-libatomic (x86_64 && glibc). There:
    • our LDFLAGS drop -latomic;
    • postConfigure strips the -latomic that FRR's configure appends to LIBS when it finds one in the build toolchain. Without this the binaries keep NEEDED libatomic.so.1 with nothing in the closure to provide it;
    • FRR gets libatomic = null, and nuke-refs stops keeping it;
    • postInstall fails the build if any output still names libatomic.so, or if any ELF object in it has an undefined __atomic_* symbol (an atomic a future FRR can't inline, which would otherwise link and fail only at load).
  • nix/pkgs/frr/default.nix: libatomic ? null; it is only added to buildInputs when it is non-null. installPhase now runs its pre/post-install hooks; before, the guard above never ran (thanks, CodeRabbit).
  • aarch64 (BF-3) and musl don't change; they still link libatomic. Follow-up: build(frr): drop libatomic on aarch64 and musl where FRR doesn't need it #2023.

--as-needed would have been simpler, but it can't do this job: libtool moves the -l flags of a shared-library link ahead of every -Wl, flag.

Verification

  • Derivation graphs, x86_64 glibc: libgccjit/libatomic are gone from FRR's graph in the default, release and sanitize=address builds. aarch64 (bluefield3) still has libatomic (unchanged).
  • FRR built on x86_64, default and ASan flavours: the guard runs and checks every ELF object in the output (15 in the default build). libfrr.so needs only readline, json-c, libm/rt/pthread/libc; ldd zebra has no unresolved entries; zebra --version runs.
  • The guard fails the build when configure's -latomic is left in LIBS (the first cut of this change), and when pointed at a symbol every object has.
  • just test init: 84/84, including supervise_frr_in_vm (both tests).
  • Not run: an ASan VM test, a container image on the BF-3, and anything on aarch64 or musl, which this change doesn't touch.

Walkthrough

The changes add configurable DPDK idle modes and RX interrupt support, revise packet checksum and header handling, add cumulative RX and Prometheus telemetry, and update FRR packaging, configuration validation, workspace metadata, and DPDK build support.

Changes: DPDK idle waits and RX interrupts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Idle configuration and worker integration
args/src/lib.rs, dataplane/src/drivers/dpdk/*, dataplane/src/runtime.rs
CLI options configure polling, monitor, or interrupt modes and their thresholds. DPDK workers receive and apply these settings.
RX interrupt support and device recovery
dpdk/src/interrupt.rs, dpdk/src/dev.rs, dataplane/src/drivers/dpdk/port.rs, hardware/tests/dpdk_in_vm.rs
DPDK registers RX interrupts and supports retrying device setup without interrupts. Tests cover registration, wakeups, capacity failures, and recovery.
Injection queues and wakeups
dataplane/src/drivers/cpbridge.rs, dataplane/src/drivers/cpbridge/wakeup.rs, dataplane/src/drivers/dpdk/inject.rs
Injection uses bounded queues and eventfd doorbells. Injection outcomes use dedicated counters.

Packet checksums and header handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checksum maintenance and refresh
net/src/checksum.rs, net/src/ipv4/*, net/src/headers/mod.rs, net/src/packet/*, dataplane/src/packet_processor/*
IPv4 setters update checksums incrementally. Transport checksum computation uses declared coverage. Serialization refreshes transport checksums only when requested and supported.
Header-bit preservation
net/src/icmp*/*, net/src/ip_auth/mod.rs, net/src/ipv4/mod.rs, net/src/ipv6/fragment.rs, net/src/tcp/mod.rs, net/src/vxlan/mod.rs
Parsing and serialization retain selected ICMP, IP, fragment, TCP, and VXLAN bits.
Parser limits and billing validation
net/src/headers/*, net/src/parse.rs, nat/src/*, rate-limit/src/*
Parsers rewind at VLAN and extension-header limits. Tests validate checksums, checksum refresh behavior, and trailer billing.

RX status and telemetry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cumulative RX counters and supervisor status
dataplane/src/drivers/watchdog.rs, dataplane/src/drivers/supervisor.rs, dataplane/src/drivers/status.rs
Watchdog totals are read without clearing. The supervisor derives activity and packet rates from counter deltas and identifies tasks by port and queue.
Kernel packet checksum status
dataplane/src/drivers/kernel/worker.rs
The kernel worker reads PACKET_AUXDATA and marks unfinished or unknown checksums for refresh.
Prometheus metrics publishing
stats/src/*, dataplane/src/statistics/*, dataplane/src/runtime.rs
The metrics endpoint publishes current pipeline, flow-table, and worker counters.

Build and configuration changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
FRR libatomic handling
nix/overlays/frr.nix, nix/pkgs/frr/default.nix
FRR makes libatomic optional. x86_64 GNU builds omit its link flag and input and check configured and installed output.
Peering validation
config/src/errors.rs, config/src/external/mod.rs, k8s-intf/src/bolero/mutate.rs
Validation removes the missing-gateway-group check. With underlay BGP, rendered peerings must be IPv4.
Package and test support
Cargo.toml, dpdk-sys/*, nix/pkgs/dpdk/*, net/Cargo.toml, dataplane/Cargo.toml, dpdk/Cargo.toml
The workspace version and package features change. DPDK build configuration exposes RTE_ARM_FEATURE_WFXT; package patches adjust MWAITX timeouts and VFIO MSI-X capacity.

Explanation

The description is related to the changeset. It states that the release merge brings in several PRs and describes the FRR libatomic change in detail, including the nix/overlays/frr.nix and nix/pkgs/frr/default.nix edits, the postInstall checks, and the validation performed. It also lists the rate-limit and checksum fixes, which match the rate-limit and net file changes in the summary.

Docstring coverage is 62.03% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 158 functions across 56 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "release merges" is generic. It does not name the main change, which is the libgccjit/libatomic skip for x86_64 glibc FRR builds, or any of the other merged changes in the changeset. The title also does not state what the release contains. A reader scanning history cannot tell the primary change from it.

Resolution

Replace the title with a short, specific summary of the primary change. Example: "build(frr): skip libatomic and libgccjit on x86_64 glibc". If the PR is only a release merge, name the release or the merged PRs (for example, "release merges: #2014, #2012, #2015, #1951, #2020").

`fancy.libatomic` is one file copied out of a full libgccjit build:
gcc from source, the longest step in an image build.  No FRR object
on x86_64 glibc references libatomic (every atomic is inlined), yet
FRR linked it, named it in its buildInputs and kept it through
nuke-refs, so gcc was built anyway.  Worse, `fancy.libxcrypt` is
overridden per sanitizer, which gives libgccjit a new hash in every
sanitizer flavour: an ASan or TSan build rebuilds gcc.

Stop linking libatomic on x86_64 glibc and pass it to FRR only where
it is linked.  That takes two cuts: our own -latomic in LDFLAGS, and
the -latomic configure appends to LIBS when the build toolchain has
one (which would otherwise leave a DT_NEEDED nothing in the closure
provides).  `--as-needed` cannot do this for us: libtool hoists the
`-l` flags of a shared-library link ahead of every `-Wl,` flag.  A
postInstall check fails the build if any output still names
libatomic.  aarch64 and musl are unchanged.

The x86_64 glibc FRR build graph (default, release and ASan) loses
libgccjit and libatomic entirely.

LGTM, nice win on build time. Two follow-ups; please file issues for them (here is fine if either is quick):

  1. Check FRR's atomic symbols automatically. The "no FRR object needs libatomic" result was a one-time manual check. The postInstall guard only catches a leftover libatomic.so reference, not an undefined __atomic_* symbol, which is what a later FRR (say, one adding a 16-byte atomic) would leave now that -latomic is gone. The link would still succeed, and FRR would fail at load (or on first call with lazy binding). Could we file an issue to make this a per-build check, e.g. fail if nm -D --undefined-only on any output lists __atomic_?

  2. Drop libatomic on BF3 and musl as well, for consistency. Please file an issue to repeat the check on aarch64 (BF3) glibc and on musl, and drop libatomic there if they don't need it, so all platforms link FRR the same way. For CI: the cross matrix builds FRR only for bluefield3/musl (frr.dataplane with gnu is excluded), and there libatomic comes from the cross-musl gcc's lib output, which the musl toolchain already builds. So I expect little CI speedup from that one, but please confirm. BF3 glibc uses fancy.libatomic like x86, so dropping it there would avoid the gcc build for BF3 glibc FRR builds outside CI.

Frames received over veth or virtio can carry unfinished transport
checksums. Unconditional recomputation during serialization previously
completed them; selective refresh requires the driver to identify them
explicitly.

Enable PACKET_AUXDATA and use recvmsg to request a refresh for
TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY. If control messages are truncated, also request
a refresh and increment csum-unknown. This avoids forwarding a partial
checksum, but can overwrite a completed checksum and mask corruption.

DPDK requests no receive offloads, so its virtio PMD does not negotiate
guest checksum offload. Add control-message tests and a veth VM test
covering partial and completed checksums.

Unconditional transport checksum recomputation scans the payload and
masks received checksum errors, even when forwarding changes only the
TTL.

Match VXLAN egress: recompute all checksums only when checksum_refresh
is set; otherwise update only the IPv4 header checksum. NAT and the
kernel driver request refreshes when needed. Add properties covering
requested refreshes and preservation of unrequested transport checksums.

The parser reads ahead before checking whether a header fits its stack.
When the VLAN or extension-header limit was reached, it counted the
rejected header and its successor as consumed without retaining them.
Serialization then omitted those bytes; one TCP segment behind four
extension headers lost 36 bytes.

Record each header's starting offset and rewind to it when the stack is
full. The rejected header and all following bytes remain in the payload.
Apply the same fix to headers quoted in ICMP errors.

etherparse discards some header bits, which serialization replaced with
zeros. Forwarding could therefore invalidate checksums even when no
stage changed the header.

Preserve the unmodeled fields in IPv4, TCP, ICMP, IPv6 fragment, AH and
VXLAN headers. Include preserved bits when recomputing TCP and ICMP
checksums. Restore ICMP bits only while the message retains its original
type and code, so they cannot overwrite a different message format.

DPDK's power-monitor API takes an absolute TSC deadline, but MWAITX
expects a 32-bit relative timeout. Passing the deadline's low 32 bits
can extend a wait until an unrelated interrupt arrives.

Calculate the remaining ticks, cap them at UINT32_MAX, and return
immediately for an expired deadline. Preserve UINT64_MAX as the
no-timeout sentinel. Hardware timers can run faster than the TSC,
so callers must tolerate early wakeups.

Add --idle poll|monitor for data and control workers; keep poll as the
default. After 512 consecutive empty polls, monitor mode requests CPU
waits of up to 50 us. Both thresholds are configurable.

Watch the last busy queue first when the CPU can monitor only one
address. Poll other queues and injected frames after the wait. Workers
without receive queues use timed kernel sleeps; those without a usable
CPU wait keep polling and yielding.

Use elapsed time as well as poll counts to trigger periodic maintenance.
Run flow expiry after long sleeps and drain expiry backlogs before
sleeping again. Reject monitor mode for the kernel driver.

rte_intr_efd_enable allocates an eventfd per requested receive queue
vector without checking that the device has that many MSI-X vectors.
Some PMDs then ignore the later rte_intr_enable failure, which leaves
eventfds that look usable but never receive an interrupt, so a caller
cannot tell that it should fall back to polling.

Query the VFIO MSI-X vector count first and refuse the request with
-ENOSPC if the queue vectors plus the non-queue vector do not fit,
before allocating anything. The port can then retry without receive
interrupts.

Review: publish_links and publish_port_states each read every link, and a comment explained
that both count an unreadable link as down. publish_port_states now does both jobs from one
reading. It publishes the port's state and, for a port with a tap, sends the link to the control
plane. Each port's telemetry holds its tap's link sender, so publish_links and the comment go.

The behaviour is unchanged. An unreadable link still counts as down, is logged once when an up
link stops answering, and a change still reaches the tap within a second.

The parser read the headers after an IP header up to the end of the
frame. A datagram that ends inside one of them, say an 18-octet ICMP
timestamp, which is 20 octets long, had it completed from the padding
or trailer that follows the datagram in the frame. Ports, checksums and
ICMP error validation then read octets no receiver counts as part of
the datagram.

Bound the reader at the end of each IP datagram before parsing what it
carries: the stated IPv4 payload length, or the IPv6 payload length,
which covers extension headers too. A header that does not fit stays in
the payload with what trails it, so frames still leave as they arrived.
An IPv4 datagram whose total length is shorter than its own header
carries nothing. Quoted datagrams in ICMP errors are bounded only by the
error's own datagram, as they are cut short by design.

parse_back_test now round-trips headers as a datagram exactly as long
as they are, since a header stack with inconsistent IP lengths is no
longer parsed whole, and the ICMP error tests fill in the lengths of the
datagrams they build, which they left at zero.

…and up exactly

The Savitzky-Golay derivative uses a 5-point stencil, which is exact only
for polynomials of degree 4 or less. derivative_of_arbitrary_6..12 asserted
1 % accuracy for higher degrees; random sampling never drew the pure
high-degree terms that break it, but libFuzzer did (x^5 near zero).

sff8472.rs, sff8636.rs and fixtures.rs each had a test called
arbitrary_memory_never_panics. cargo bolero selects a target by name and
cannot pick the test binary, so only one of the three could be fuzzed.
Prefix each with the management interface it exercises.

… test

The five tests in tests_nhop_pkt_instructions shared a helper function that
held the bolero::check!(). bolero names a fuzz target after the function the
macro expands in, so all five were one target, `check`, which libFuzzer
could neither list per test nor run. Make the helper a macro.

rejected_generation_does_not_waive_uncapped_coverage passes by panicking.
Under libFuzzer the panic is a crash, so a sweep of every target reports
it as one. Compile it only when not fuzzing, as mgmt already does for its
generator-health checks, and register cfg(fuzzing) for the crate.

The workspace bolero dependency turns default features off. The tests
built anyway under the random engine, which pulls std in, but the
libFuzzer engine from our bolero fork does not enable bolero-engine/any,
so a fuzz build of the crate failed. Ask for std here, as routing does.

A non-first fragment carries no transport header, but the parser reads
one from the fragment's payload all the same. FlowKey took ports from
it, so flow lookup could tag the fragment with whatever flow those
payload octets happened to name, and stages acting on that flow
(static NAT tracking, the flow filter's cached verdict) treated payload
as a five-tuple.

Build no flow key for a non-first fragment, as masquerade and port
forwarding already refuse it. A first or atomic fragment still carries
its header and keeps its key.

Static NAT translated a non-first fragment as if the parser's
transport header were real. An address change folded a pseudo-header
delta into what it took for the TCP or UDP checksum, octets 16-17 or
6-7 of the fragment's payload, and a mapping with ports looked up and
rewrote octets 0-3 as ports. The reassembled segment then failed its
checksum at the receiver.

For a non-first fragment, translate the addresses only: look the
mapping up without ports, fold nothing into a transport checksum, and
treat no payload as a quoted ICMP error. The test checks the fragment's
body survives both an address-only mapping and one with ports, and fails
without the fix.

VXLAN decapsulation parsed the inner frame from everything left in the
received frame. Nothing held it to the outer UDP or IP length, so an
outer trailer became part of the inner frame and was carried, and
counted into the outer lengths, on re-encapsulation. Worse, a frame
whose outer lengths were short carried an inner datagram made of octets
the outer datagram never contained, and the gateway forwarded it.

End the inner frame at the shorter of the outer UDP and IP lengths, and
trim what follows from the buffer. If the outer lengths claim more than
the frame carries, decapsulation and peeking fail alike with a length
error, as for a frame cut short.

The VXLAN test builders never set the outer UDP length, leaving it at an
empty datagram's 8 octets; they now state the datagram they build.

A refreshed UDP checksum summed everything the IP datagram carried past
the UDP header, but its pseudo-header states the UDP length. When the
IP datagram goes on past the UDP datagram, as with a UDP options area,
the two disagree and a receiver drops the datagram as corrupt.

Cover what the UDP length states, if it ends before the IP datagram
does. The octets past it leave as they arrived.

A frame longer than the receive buffer was counted as truncated, then
parsed and forwarded from what fit. What was left still stated the
lengths of the whole datagram, so no receiver would take it, and a
checksum refresh, requested for any frame whose checksum the kernel left
unfinished, summed only the octets present and wrote a wrong checksum.

Count the frame and drop it.

…field

An incremental ICMPv4 update that computed to 0x0000 always asked for a
full recompute, since all-zero data needs 0xFFFF instead. Masquerade
asks for one, but a refresh leaves fragments alone: their checksum
covers the rest of the datagram. A large ping's first fragment whose
new identifier happened to land the update on zero, one in 65536, went
out with the new identifier and the old checksum.

The ambiguity needs all-zero data, which a nonzero new value rules
out; then 0x0000 is the checksum a full recompute finds. Store it, and
refuse only an update that clears the field.

A zero UDP checksum over IPv4 says the sender computed none. A refresh,
which receive drivers request whenever the checksum status is unknown,
computed one anyway: the datagram left looking verified though nobody
had checked the octets it arrived with, and the whole payload was read
for it.

Leave it zero. A partial checksum the kernel leaves for us to finish is
a folded sum over a pseudo-header with nonzero words, so it is never
zero and still gets finished.

The UDP length test starts from a checksum to refresh, not a disabled
one, and the round-trip test expects a disabled one to stay disabled.

VXLAN encapsulation always wrote a zero UDP checksum. Over IPv4 that is
what VXLAN asks for, but IPv6 forbids a zero UDP checksum outside
tunnels whose receivers opt in (RFC 6935, RFC 6936). Linux does not by
default, so an IPv6 VTEP's packets were dropped by any peer not
configured for them.

Over IPv6, compute the checksum over the VXLAN header and the inner
frame: the inner frame's sum, with the VXLAN header's words folded in
rather than copied in front of it. IPv4 keeps the zero checksum.

The stats stage runs last, after a delivered packet has been put in
VXLAN, but most drops happen before encapsulation. A VPC's delivered
bytes therefore counted the underlay's Ethernet, IP, UDP and VXLAN
headers, 50 octets a packet over IPv4 and 70 over IPv6, while its drop
bytes did not, so the two did not add up.

Count the inner frame of a VXLAN packet, the frame the VPC sent.

Record the open question from the length and checksum audit next to the
parser's other TODOs: a non-first fragment's payload is parsed as
headers, and consumers must guard against it. Deferred past this
release.
