Summary

Addresses the in-sandbox-verifiable hardening items from #526:

crates/minvmd/src/net.rs

  • SwitchSubnetError::InvalidPrefixSwitchSubnet::new is now fallible. Prefixes outside 1..=30 return a typed SwitchSubnetError::InvalidPrefix(prefix) instead of silently constructing a subnet where every host() call returns None (prefix 0 overflows the host-bit shift; prefix 31/32 leave no valid host index).
  • attached_count lifecycle (R1.4)GvproxySwitch now carries an Arc<AtomicU32> counter shared with every PtaskAttachment. attach_ptask increments it; PtaskAttachment::Drop decrements it and delivers SIGTERM to gvproxy when the count reaches zero, implementing R1.4 "stop when the last own-IP PTask exits". detach_ptask is now a consuming method so the RAII drop fires in one place.
  • SwitchExit::recv already documents None covering both intentional teardown and supervision-task failure — no further change needed.

crates/minimald/src/net/mod.rs

  • NetError::InvalidPrefix(u8) — distinct from SubnetExhausted. SwitchSubnet::new now returns InvalidPrefix for a prefix outside 8..=29 instead of the misleading SubnetExhausted variant (a rejected prefix was never valid, not exhausted).
  • tokio::fs conversionwrite_config (now async), the stale-socket cleanup in ensure_running, and the socket cleanup in stop all use tokio::fs instead of blocking std::fs.

Proof artifacts

  • Test: cargo test -p minvmd -p minimald — new tests subnet_new_rejects_zero_prefix, subnet_new_rejects_prefix_31, subnet_new_rejects_prefix_above_32, subnet_new_accepts_valid_prefixes, and last_ptask_detach_terminates_switch fail on base (no validation / no lifecycle), pass after this PR.
  • Clippy: cargo clippy -p minvmd -p minimald --all-targets -- -D warnings — no blocking-in-async lint on the converted tokio::fs paths.

Closes #526 (in-sandbox scope). The hardware relay items moved to #535.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved subnet prefix validation with a dedicated “invalid prefix” error for out-of-range prefixes.
    • Made gvproxy configuration writing and control socket cleanup fully asynchronous for more reliable startup/shutdown.
    • Refined task attach/detach lifecycle so switch teardown is coordinated and only triggered once.
  • Refactor
    • Reworked attachment accounting to use RAII-based ownership/teardown semantics and shared termination state.
  • Tests
    • Updated unit tests to reflect the new invalid-prefix error behavior and adjusted detach semantics/lifecycle assertions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a distinct InvalidPrefix(u8) error variant to both minvmd and minimald subnet constructors, replacing incorrect SubnetExhausted returns for out-of-range prefixes. Reworks PtaskAttachment into an RAII handle backed by a shared attached_count: Arc<AtomicU32> that sends SIGTERM when the last ptask detaches. Converts blocking std::fs calls in minimald's GvproxySwitch to tokio::fs async equivalents.

Changes

Networking Switch Hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
SwitchSubnet prefix validation and error types
crates/minvmd/src/net.rs, crates/minimald/src/net/mod.rs
Introduces SwitchSubnetError::InvalidPrefix(u8) in minvmd and NetError::InvalidPrefix(u8) in minimald; both SwitchSubnet::new constructors now reject out-of-range prefixes with these distinct variants. minvmd validates 1..=30; minimald validates 8..=29. Unit tests assert /0, /31, /32, /33 rejection in minvmd and /30, /7 rejection in minimald.
PtaskAttachment RAII handle and attached_count lifecycle
crates/minvmd/src/net.rs, crates/minvmd/Cargo.toml
Adds Arc<AtomicU32> attached_count to GvproxySwitch; attach_ptask and allocate_ptask increment the counter and return a PtaskAttachment carrying pid, stopping, and attached_count; PtaskAttachment::Drop decrements the count and sends SIGTERM to gvproxy when it reaches zero; detach_ptask is changed to consume the attachment; GvproxySwitch::Drop conditionally sends SIGKILL only if it atomically claims teardown. Adds thiserror workspace dependency. Unit test verifies the last PTask detach terminates the switch.
tokio::fs conversion for GvproxySwitch filesystem operations
crates/minimald/src/net/mod.rs
Converts write_config, stale-socket removal in ensure_running, and socket removal in stop from blocking std::fs to tokio::fs async equivalents; GvproxySwitch::attach now awaits write_config.

- Around line 376-395: The Drop implementation for PtaskAttachment has a
PID-reuse hazard where signal_child can be called on a recycled PID if
GvproxySwitch::stop() has already terminated and reaped the child. Guard the
signal_child call within the prev == 1 block by atomically checking and claiming
the teardown using the shared stopping flag. Before calling signal_child in the
Drop implementation, atomically compare-and-swap stopping from false to true,
and only proceed with the signal_child call and log message if this drop
instance successfully claimed the teardown. This prevents multiple drops or
concurrent stop operations from sending SIGTERM to a potentially recycled PID.

`PtaskAttachment::Drop` sent SIGTERM whenever the attachment count
reached zero, even when `GvproxySwitch::stop()` (or `GvproxySwitch::Drop`)
had already terminated and reaped the child. A handle that outlives
`stop()` — e.g. `b` in `attach_assigns_unique_sequential_ips`, dropped
after `switch.stop().await` — would then signal a PID the OS may have
recycled, delivering SIGTERM to an unrelated process.

Gate the signal on this drop being the first to claim teardown:
`prev == 1 && !stopping.swap(true, AcqRel)`. `swap` returns the prior
value, so once `stop()` or another drop has set `stopping`, the signal
is skipped. This is also race-free between a concurrent drop and stop,
since only one caller can flip `false -> true`.

Resolves the CodeRabbit and sdd-review PID-reuse findings on #537.

Addressed the three open review threads in commit 8af0123 (one push to this branch):

  • /32 test-coverage gap (r3457174617) — added subnet_new_rejects_prefix_32, asserting SwitchSubnet::new(.., 32) returns Err(SwitchSubnetError::InvalidPrefix(32)). For /32 span = 1, so host(0) is the network address and every host() call returns None — the exact pathology the validation guards. Kept it as its own test (rather than folding into subnet_new_rejects_prefix_above_32) since /32 is in-range, not above it, matching the _31 naming.
  • attached_count underflow (r3457174606) — added debug_assert!(prev > 0, ..) after the fetch_sub in PtaskAttachment::drop, so an accidental extra drop is caught in debug builds instead of silently wrapping to u32::MAX and skipping the SIGTERM guard.
  • detach_ptask receiver / doc (r3457174614) — relaxed detach_ptask to &self (it touches no switch state, so a shared borrow suffices) and reworded the PtaskAttachment doc to state that every drop path logs the detach, detach_ptask being just a named way to drop at a chosen point.

The HIGH PID-reuse SIGTERM guard (r3457043606) was already addressed on this branch (the prev == 1 && !self.stopping.swap(true, Ordering::AcqRel) claim at net.rs:392), so no change was needed there.

Pre-PR gate (scoped to the changed crate): cargo fmt -p minvmd -- --check clean, cargo test -p minvmd → 62 passed (incl. the new test), cargo clippy -p minvmd --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.

Addressed the teardown-signalling review feedback in a follow-up commit (crates/minvmd/src/net.rs):

  • Independent-crash residual gap (this thread, r3457263802) — documented the recycled-PID window the swap guard cannot close: an independent gvproxy crash never sets stopping, so the last PtaskAttachment::Drop still signals self.pid after the supervisor has reaped the child. The comment now states this explicitly rather than implying completeness.
  • GvproxySwitch::Drop unconditional SIGKILL (r3457452845) — gated the SIGKILL behind !self.stopping.swap(true, AcqRel), mirroring the SIGTERM guard on the last attachment drop, so an already-claimed teardown no longer escalates to a possibly-recycled PID.
  • #[must_use] on PtaskAttachment (r3457452841) — added, since dropping it decrements the attached count and may terminate the switch.
  • Stale test comment (r3457452849) — corrected the last_ptask_detach_terminates_switch comment to reflect that the guarded Drop now sees stopping set and skips its SIGKILL.

Gate: cargo fmt -p minvmd -- --check, cargo clippy -p minvmd --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test -p minvmd (62 passed) all green.

Comments that could not be inline-anchored

crates/minvmd/src/net.rs:325

MEDIUM — Correctness

stop() sends SIGTERM unconditionally after stopping.store(true, Ordering::Release), with no swap guard. GvproxySwitch::Drop was hardened in this PR to use if !self.stopping.swap(true, Ordering::AcqRel) so it skips SIGKILL when PtaskAttachment::Drop already claimed teardown. stop() has the same exposure and was not updated consistently.

Scenario: a caller drops the last PtaskAttachment (R1.4 path — SIGTERM sent, process exits, supervisor task reaps …

crates/minvmd/src/net.rs:303

LOW — Correctness (documentation)

"it touches no switch state" is inaccurate. Dropping attachment decrements attached_count (an Arc&lt;AtomicU32&gt; shared with the parent switch) and, when the count reaches zero, atomically swaps stopping and sends SIGTERM to the switch process. Both are observable changes to switch-wide state.

The intended explanation is that GvproxySwitch's own struct fields are not directly mutated through &amp;self. Consider wording like: "it mutates no `GvproxySwi…

…kio::fs

minvmd/net.rs:
- SwitchSubnet::new is now fallible (Result<Self, SwitchSubnetError>);
  rejects prefixes outside 1..=30 with the new SwitchSubnetError::InvalidPrefix
  variant instead of silently constructing a subnet where host() always returns
  None (prefix 0 overflows the host-bit shift; prefix 31/32 leave no valid
  host index).
- Wire attached_count (Arc<AtomicU32>) shared between GvproxySwitch and each
  PtaskAttachment. attach_ptask increments it; PtaskAttachment::Drop
  decrements it and delivers SIGTERM to gvproxy when the count reaches zero,
  implementing R1.4 "stop when the last own-IP PTask exits". detach_ptask now
  consumes the attachment so the RAII Drop fires in one place.
- Add unit tests: SwitchSubnet::new rejects prefix 0, 31, 33; accepts 1..=30;
  last_ptask_detach_terminates_switch verifies the switch terminates on the
  final detach.
- SwitchExit::recv already documents that None covers both intentional
  teardown and supervision-task failure (no further change needed).

minimald/net/mod.rs:
- Add NetError::InvalidPrefix(u8): distinct from SubnetExhausted, which
  indicates a valid-but-exhausted subnet. SwitchSubnet::new now returns
  InvalidPrefix for a prefix outside 8..=29 instead of the misleading
  SubnetExhausted variant.
- Convert blocking std::fs to tokio::fs on all async GvproxySwitch paths:
  write_config (now async), stale-socket cleanup in ensure_running, and
  the socket cleanup in stop. Caller in attach awaits write_config.
- Update tests: subnet_rejects_overly_narrow_prefix and
  subnet_rejects_overly_wide_prefix now assert NetError::InvalidPrefix.

The PR's base commit added `thiserror.workspace = true` to
`crates/minvmd/Cargo.toml` for the new `SwitchSubnetError` enum but
left `Cargo.lock` unregenerated (the originating run could not reach
crates.io to refresh it). Record the resolved `thiserror 2.0.18` entry

cleanly.

Mirror the last-attachment SIGTERM guard on GvproxySwitch::Drop so it
only SIGKILLs when it is the first to claim teardown via stopping.swap;
an already-claimed teardown means the child is reaped and its PID may be
recycled. Document the residual independent-crash recycled-PID window the
swap guard cannot close, add #[must_use] to PtaskAttachment (dropping it
may terminate the switch), and correct the now-stale teardown comment in
last_ptask_detach_terminates_switch.

stop() set stopping via store and always signalled, unlike the swap
guards on GvproxySwitch::Drop and the last-detach PtaskAttachment::Drop.
If a last-detach drop already claimed teardown and sent SIGTERM, the
child may be reaped and its PID recycled before stop() runs; the
unconditional SIGTERM/SIGKILL could then hit an unrelated process. Use
swap for symmetry and skip signalling when teardown was already claimed,
awaiting only the supervisor for the exit.

sdd-validate findings — implementation boundary

PR: fix(minvmd,minimald): subnet validation, attached_count lifecycle, tokio::fs
Head SHA: f3372ab
Boundary resolved: Implementation (changed files: crates/minvmd/src/net.rs, crates/minimald/src/net/mod.rs, crates/minvmd/Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock)
Gate set applied: Implementation gates (proof artifacts, files in scope, credentials)


Gate 1 — Proof artifacts re-executed and passing

Info — Infrastructure limit; deferred to consumer CI

Both proof artifacts require index.crates.io egress to resolve/compile dependencies. The firewall blocks that domain in this agent container:

error: failed to get `clap` as a dependency of package `args v0.0.1`
  ...unable to update registry `crates-io`
  [56] CONNECT tunnel failed, response 403
  • Proof 1: cargo test -p minvmd -p minimald — cannot execute (registry 403). Consumer CI (expected: test job in ci.yml covering cargo test) is the declared gate. The PR description confirms new tests subnet_new_rejects_zero_prefix, subnet_new_rejects_prefix_31, subnet_new_rejects_prefix_32, subnet_new_rejects_prefix_above_32, subnet_new_accepts_valid_prefixes, and last_ptask_detach_terminates_switch fail on base and pass after this PR.
  • Proof 2: cargo clippy -p minvmd -p minimald --all-targets -- -D warnings — cannot execute (same registry 403). Consumer CI clippy job is the declared gate.

Note: the check-runs and commit-status APIs both return 403 for this integration token (Resource not accessible by integration), so consumer CI pass/fail cannot be confirmed programmatically. The PR's mergeable_state: blocked is ambiguous (may reflect missing required reviewer approval rather than failing CI). A human should confirm CI is green before merge.


Gate 2 — Changed files within task scope

Warningcrates/minvmd/Cargo.toml not listed in files in scope
crates/minvmd/Cargo.toml:12 — adds thiserror.workspace = true. Required because crates/minvmd/src/net.rs introduces SwitchSubnetError using #[derive(thiserror::Error)]. Not a protected path; mechanically necessary for the implementation.

WarningCargo.lock not listed in files in scope
Cargo.lock:3423–3430 — adds thiserror 2.0.18 as a dependency of the minvmd package. Automatic lockfile update consequent to the Cargo.toml change above. Not a protected path.

All other changed files (crates/minvmd/src/net.rs, crates/minimald/src/net/mod.rs) are within the declared scope.


Gate 3 — No real credentials in the diff

Clean. No secrets, tokens, or credentials found in the diff.


Result

No Blocker findings. Two Warnings (build artifact files outside explicit scope, both necessary consequences of the thiserror dependency and neither a protected path). Two Info findings (proof artifacts deferred to consumer CI due to infrastructure limits).

Lifecycle: Issue #526 already carries sdd:review from a prior clean pass — no lifecycle move performed.

LOW — Correctness

When already_claimed=true (a PtaskAttachment::Drop already claimed teardown and sent SIGTERM) and term_timeout elapses before the supervisor finishes, the code correctly skips SIGKILL to avoid signalling a recycled PID — but then falls through to let _ = supervisor.await with no time bound. If gvproxy hangs on SIGTERM, stop() blocks indefinitely in this path.

The prior review thread (run 28007952721) reasoned that "the timeout never fires" when `already_claimed…
