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

214/// Start the host-side virtio-net runtime for one guest NIC.
215///
216/// Inputs:
217/// - `host_fd`: the host-side Unix stream fd that libkrun will use for this
218/// guest NIC. The launcher eventually gets this from the libkrun
219/// `krun_add_net_unixstream()` setup path.
220/// - `guest_network`: the static guest/gateway addressing and MAC plan for this
221/// NIC.
222/// - `published_ports`: host->guest TCP port mappings that should be serviced
223/// directly by the virtio runtime instead of TSI.
224///
225/// High-level flow:
226///
227/// ```text
228/// start_virtio_network()
229/// -> create shared frame queues + wake pipes
230/// -> start frame reader/writer threads on the Unix stream
231/// -> start host TcpListeners for published ports
232/// -> start the smoltcp poll thread
233/// -> return a handle that owns the whole runtime
234/// ```
235///
236/// Expanded startup picture:
237///
238/// ```text
239/// host_fd from libkrun
240/// -> FrameStreamBridge(host_fd)
241/// -> reader thread
242/// -> writer thread
243/// -> TcpPortListeners
244/// -> accept host TcpStreams
245/// -> send them to the poll loop over a bounded channel
246/// -> NetworkFrameQueues
247/// -> start_network_stack(...)
248/// -> poll thread owns smoltcp Interface + sockets
249/// -> VirtioNetworkRuntime returned to launcher
250/// ```
251///
252/// Outcome:
253/// - guest->host Ethernet frames start flowing into the queues
254/// - host->guest Ethernet frames emitted by smoltcp are written back to libkrun
255/// - published host TCP connections can be forwarded toward guest listeners
256/// - the poll loop starts acting as the guest-visible gateway
257///
258/// Cross-platform: the libkrun frame bridge speaks over an AF_UNIX stream
259/// socket, available on Unix and Windows (10 1809+). The caller supplies the
260/// already-connected host-side socket (Unix: one end of a `socketpair`;
261/// Windows: the socket `accept`ed from libkrun on the per-VM path).
