Libsoccr is a library that does TCP connection checkpoint and restore.
Libsoccr resides in criu source code (soccr
subdirectory) and consists of an API header and a static library.
Libsoccr is available since CRIU 2.10 "Brass Waxwing" release.
Overview[edit]
To checkpoint a TCP connection, one should
- pause a socket (referenced by descriptor)
- get socket data
- get contents of two queues
- (optionally) resume the socket
- close it
To restore a connection, one should
- create a socket
- pause one
- restore unbound data
- bind() and/or connect() socket to whatever addresses is appropriate using standard calls
- restore noq data
- put contents of two queues
- restore remaining data
Data types[edit]
soccr/soccr.h declares three types:
struct libsoccr_sk
- An abstract handler returned by pausing routine that is used as an opaque identifier by the rest of the libsoccr calls
struct libsoccr_sk_data
- A structure containing a set of 32-bit values that are returned by getter and that are to be passed as is to the setter call
struct libsoccr_addr
- A structure that defines soccaddr for a socket. It's used by set/get calls described further.
Data internals[edit]
Inside the libsoccr_sk_data
structure there's a special field called flags
that gives information about the meaning of some other fields. Though it's not bad just to pass this structure as-is between libsoccr calls, doing some optimization based on flags is OK.
Here are the flags that make sense:
SOCCR_FLAGS_WINDOW == 0x1
- When set, indicates that fields
snd_wl1
,snd_wnd
,max_window
,rcv_wnd
andrcv_wup
contain some valuable data (0 is a valid value for any of these)
Calls[edit]
Generic[edit]
struct libsoccr_sk *libsoccr_pause(int sk)
- Pauses the socket and returns a handler for further operations. Any data flow for this socket must be blocked by the caller before this call.
void libsoccr_resume(struct libsoccr_sk *)
- Resumes the socket and frees the handler. Data flow unlock may happen before this.
void libsoccr_release(struct libsoccr_sk *)
- Only releases the handler and doesn't do anything with the socket itself. Use when saving the state and willing to kill the socket -- call
close()
on descriptor and this thing on the handler.
void libsoccr_set_log(unsigned int level, void (*fn)(unsigned int level, const char *fmt, ...))
- Sets a function that will be called when libsoccr will want to print something on the screen.
Dump[edit]
int libsoccr_save(struct libsoccr_sk *sk, struct libsoccr_sk_data *data, unsigned data_size)
- Fills in the
data
structure with the info get from paused socket. Thedata_size
should be the size of the structure passed. The return code is the size of the structure really filled with data.
char *libsoccr_get_queue_bytes(struct libsoccr_sk *sk, int queue_id, unsigned flags)
- Returns a malloc()-ed array with the contents of the queue. The queue can be TCP_RECV_QUEUE or TCP_SEND_QUEUE. The amount of bytes in each is
data.inq_len
anddata.outq_len
respectively. Theflags
may haveSOCCR_MEM_EXCL
bit set (see below).
union libsoccr_addr *libsoccr_get_addr(struct libsoccr_sk *sk, int self, unsigned flags)
(currently unimplemented and returns NULL)- Returns address (self or peer) of the socket. The
flags
may haveSOCCR_MEM_EXCL
bit set (see below)
Restore[edit]
int libsoccr_restore(struct libsoccr_sk *sk, struct libsoccr_sk_data *data, unsigned data_size)
- Restores data on a socket from the
data
structure. Should be called after the calls below, but before the "resume" one.
int libsoccr_set_queue_bytes(struct libsoccr_sk *sk, int queue, char *buf, unsigned flags)
- Puts back the contents of the respective queue. The
flags
may containSOCCR_MEM_EXCL
.
int libsoccr_set_addr(struct libsoccr_sk *sk, int self, union libsoccr_addr *, unsigned flags)
- Sets address (self or peer) of the socket. The
flags
may containSOCCR_MEM_EXCL
.
Flags[edit]
Here are the flags accepted by various calls.
SOCCR_MEM_EXCL
- Tells that the memory buffer set or get by the call is to be managed (and should be freed) by the receiving side. In case of a get call the receiving side is the caller program, meaning it has to free() the buffer. In case of a set call the receiver is libsoccr, meaning libsoccr has to free() it.
Example[edit]
/* Dump a tcp socket */
dst_let = sizeof(addr);
if (getsockname(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, &dst_let)) {
pr_perror("connect");
return -1;
}
dst_let = sizeof(addr);
if (getpeername(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &dst, &dst_let)) {
pr_perror("connect");
return -1;
}
so = libsoccr_pause(sock);
dsize = libsoccr_save(so, &data, sizeof(data));
if (dsize < 0) {
pr_perror("libsoccr_save");
return -1;
}
close(sock);
/* Restore a tcp socket */
rst = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (rst == -1)
return -1;
so_rst = libsoccr_pause(rst);
libsoccr_set_addr(so_rst, 1, &addr, 0);
libsoccr_set_addr(so_rst, 0, &dst, 0);
queue = libsoccr_get_queue_bytes(so, TCP_RECV_QUEUE, SOCCR_MEM_EXCL);
libsoccr_set_queue_bytes(so_rst, TCP_RECV_QUEUE, queue, SOCCR_MEM_EXCL);
queue = libsoccr_get_queue_bytes(so, TCP_SEND_QUEUE, SOCCR_MEM_EXCL);
libsoccr_set_queue_bytes(so_rst, TCP_SEND_QUEUE, queue, SOCCR_MEM_EXCL);
ret = libsoccr_restore(so_rst, &data, dsize);
if (ret)
return -1;
libsoccr_resume(so_rst);
libsoccr_resume(so);
