1//! Host-side virtio-net runtime.
2//!
3//! Context
4//! =======
5//!
6//! This module is the host-side half of the new networking path:
7//!
8//! ```text
9//! guest app
10//!   -> guest kernel TCP/IP stack
11//!   -> virtio-net device
12//!   -> libkrun unix-stream bridge
13//!   -> smolvm FrameStreamBridge
14//!   -> shared frame queues
15//!   -> smoltcp gateway/runtime
16//!   -> host sockets / DNS forwarding / TCP relay
17//!   -> external network
18//! ```
19//!
20//! Main runtime components:
21//!
22//! ```text
23//! VirtioNetworkRuntime
24//! ├─ FrameStreamBridge
25//! │  ├─ reader thread
26//! │  └─ writer thread
27//! ├─ TcpPortListeners
28//! │  └─ one non-blocking accept loop per `-p HOST:GUEST`
29//! ├─ Arc<NetworkFrameQueues>
30//! │  ├─ guest_to_host
31//! │  ├─ host_to_guest
32//! │  ├─ guest_wake
33//! │  ├─ host_wake
34//! │  └─ relay_wake
35//! └─ smolvm-net-poll thread
36//!    ├─ VirtioNetworkDevice
37//!    ├─ smoltcp Interface
38//!    ├─ SocketSet
39//!    └─ TcpRelayTable
40//! ```
41//!
42//! Component roles:
43//! - `FrameStreamBridge`: translates libkrun's Unix-stream frame protocol into
44//!   queue operations
45//! - `TcpPortListeners`: accepts host TCP connections for published ports
46//!   and hands them to the poll loop
47//! - `NetworkFrameQueues`: handoff boundary between threads
48//! - `VirtioNetworkDevice`: adapts those queues to smoltcp's `phy::Device`
49//! - poll thread: acts as the guest-visible gateway and protocol dispatcher
50//! - `TcpRelayTable`: maps guest TCP flows onto host-side relay threads
51//!
52//! This runtime is responsible for:
53//! - exchanging raw Ethernet frames with libkrun
54//! - presenting a gateway endpoint to the guest
55//! - handling DNS through a gateway UDP socket and host UDP forwarding
56//! - relaying guest TCP connections to host `TcpStream`s
57//! - accepting published host TCP ports and forwarding them into guest TCP
58//!   connections

164/// - it owns the queue set shared by the worker threads
165/// - it owns the libkrun Unix-stream bridge threads
166/// - it owns the published-port listener threads
167/// - it owns the smoltcp poll thread
168///
169/// Dropping the runtime is the shutdown signal. `Drop` marks the shared queues
170/// as shutting down, wakes blocked workers, and joins the poll thread.

178/// Start the host-side virtio-net runtime for one guest NIC.
179///
180/// Inputs:
181/// - `host_fd`: the host-side Unix stream fd that libkrun will use for this
182///   guest NIC. The launcher eventually gets this from the libkrun
183///   `krun_add_net_unixstream()` setup path.
184/// - `guest_network`: the static guest/gateway addressing and MAC plan for this
185///   NIC.
186/// - `published_ports`: host->guest TCP port mappings that should be serviced
187///   directly by the virtio runtime instead of TSI.
188///
189/// High-level flow:
190///
191/// ```text
192/// start_virtio_network()
193///   -> create shared frame queues + wake pipes
194///   -> start frame reader/writer threads on the Unix stream
195///   -> start host TcpListeners for published ports
196///   -> start the smoltcp poll thread
197///   -> return a handle that owns the whole runtime
198/// ```
199///
200/// Expanded startup picture:
201///
202/// ```text
203/// host_fd from libkrun
204///   -> FrameStreamBridge(host_fd)
205///      -> reader thread
206///      -> writer thread
207///   -> TcpPortListeners
208///      -> accept host TcpStreams
209///      -> send them to the poll loop over a bounded channel
210///   -> NetworkFrameQueues
211///   -> start_network_stack(...)
212///      -> poll thread owns smoltcp Interface + sockets
213///   -> VirtioNetworkRuntime returned to launcher
214/// ```
215///
216/// Outcome:
217/// - guest->host Ethernet frames start flowing into the queues
218/// - host->guest Ethernet frames emitted by smoltcp are written back to libkrun
219/// - published host TCP connections can be forwarded toward guest listeners
220/// - the poll loop starts acting as the guest-visible gateway
