proxy: scope the datapath per node, keep the egress SNAT cluster-wide

[mattia-eleuteri]

Problem

Every node programs the svc_pod / pod_svc maps and the port-filter sets for every service, not just the ones whose backend it hosts. A node that does not host the backend therefore rewrites the destination of a packet that is merely leaving it.

That premature DNAT desynchronises conntrack on the owning node:

• egress_snat runs at prerouting priority raw (-300), before conntrack (-200)
• ingress_dnat runs at priority mangle (-150), after conntrack
• port_filter runs at priority filter (0) and relies on ct state established,related accept to let replies through

For a flow coming from outside the cluster this is consistent: conntrack records (client -> svcIP), the reply is SNATed back to svcIP before conntrack sees it, the tuple matches, port_filter accepts.

For a flow initiated by another cozy-proxy managed backend it is not. The source node already translated the destination, so the owning node records (srcSvcIP -> podIP). The reply leaves the pod and egress_snat rewrites its source to dstSvcIP before conntrack, producing (dstSvcIP -> srcSvcIP), which matches nothing. The reply is not established, falls through to the drop rule, and the initiator's ephemeral port is of course not in its own allowed_ports. Dropped.

Visible effect: a PortList (wholeIP: "false") backend can no longer open a connection to another managed backend on a different node. The SYN arrives, the SYN-ACK is generated and silently dropped, the caller hangs. Same node works. Egress to the internet works. Ingress from outside works. Only the cross-node managed-to-managed path is broken.

Reproduction

A plain pod behind a LoadBalancer Service carrying the cozy-proxy label and wholeIP: "false" is treated exactly like a VM, which makes this reproducible without KubeVirt:

• repro pod on the same node as the target: http=200
• repro pod on a different node: hangs
• flip the repro Service to wholeIP: "true" (removing it from filtered_pods): works again immediately
• conntrack on the initiator's node: SYN_SENT ... [UNREPLIED], while a control flow to the internet is [ASSURED]
• tcpdump on the target's node: SYN arrives already DNATed to the pod IP, SYN-ACK is emitted, never forwarded, retransmits

Fix

Program the rules only on the node hosting the backend, keyed on the endpoint's NodeName against NODE_NAME. Every node then has a consistent conntrack view, and the maps only carry local entries instead of a full copy of the cluster's services.

Rules for a pod that moved away are withdrawn, both on endpoint events and by the startup cleanup, so state inherited from a cluster-wide build is purged on upgrade rather than lingering.

NODE_NAME is read from the environment. When it is absent the check is disabled and the previous cluster-wide behavior is kept, so this binary still runs under a chart that does not inject the variable yet. The chart needs a matching change to set it from spec.nodeName; without it the fix is inert (but nothing breaks).

Validation

Controlled A/B/A on a 3-node cluster, cross-node initiator and target:

	v0.3.0	this branch
cross-node managed -> managed	hangs	succeeds
egress to internet	ok	ok
ICMP	ok	ok
declared port from outside	open	open
undeclared port from outside	filtered	filtered

Reverting the image to v0.3.0 reproduces the hang, re-applying the fix clears it. Port filtering from outside is unchanged, so the security property the port filter exists for is preserved.

Per-node mapping count drops from "every service in the cluster" to "the backends on this node".

Unit tests added for servesEndpoint, the withdraw-on-remote-backend path, and stale endpoint withdrawal on pod IP change.

Follow-up: the egress SNAT has to stay cluster-wide

Scoping the whole datapath per node was right for the destination rewrite and wrong for the source one. Both were scoped in the same commit, which fixed the managed-to-managed path above and broke every other intra-cluster client. Second commit fixes that.

A client that is not itself a cozy-proxy backend — a pod, or a node of a tenant Kubernetes cluster — is source-NATed by kube-ovn to its own node address. OVN knows how to reach that address, so the backend's reply is tunnelled straight to the client's node over Geneve and never traverses the hosting node's netfilter hooks. egress_snat there never sees it. With pod_svc node-local, the client's node holds no entry for a backend it does not host, so nothing rewrites the source either:

bond0.220      In   10.200.1.16.56798 > 91.223.132.15.443  [S]     SYN arrives
ovn0           Out  10.200.1.16.56798 > 10.244.0.16.443     [S]     ingress_dnat ok
192a5a66a922_h P    10.244.0.16.443   > 10.200.1.16.56798   [S.]    backend replies
genev_sys_6081 Out  10.244.0.16.443   > 10.200.1.16.56798   [S.]    leaves un-SNATed
genev_sys_6081 P    10.200.1.16.56798 > 10.244.0.16.443     [R]     client RSTs

A managed client escapes this: egress_snat gives it its own service IP as source, an address OVN does not know, so its peer's reply leaves through the host stack and gets rewritten on the way out. That is exactly why scoping both maps looked correct — the reproduction used a managed initiator on both ends.

Visible effect, before this commit: a public IP is reachable from inside the cluster only when the backend happens to run on the same node. A live migration makes it appear or disappear.

Fix

Asymmetric scoping:

Object	Scope
svc_pod (ingress_dnat), allowed_ports, icmp_allowed_pods	node hosting the backend
pod_svc (egress_snat)	every node

EnsureRules/DeleteRules are split into Ensure/DeleteEgressSNAT and Ensure/DeleteIngressDNAT, so each map resolves conflicts on its own key instead of maintaining the other as a mirror. CleanupRules takes one keep set per map, so a node purges entries of the other scope on upgrade and on downgrade.

Validation

Controlled A/B/A on the same 3-node cluster, unmanaged initiator:

	before	after
cross-node pod -> managed backend	hangs	succeeds
same-node pod -> managed backend	succeeds	succeeds
cross-node managed -> managed	succeeds	succeeds
shared ingress VIP (cilium, unaffected)	succeeds	succeeds

Adding the missing pod_svc entry by hand on the client's node unblocks the cross-node flow; removing it breaks it again; turning the client into a managed backend makes it reach the same peers with no such entry. Those three observations pin the mechanism.

Unit tests cover both halves on the owning node, the egress-kept/ingress-withdrawn state on a non-owning node, withdrawal of both halves on pod IP change, and the two keep-set scopes of the startup snapshot. Reverting applyRules and the snapshot to single-scope behavior fails the first two, so they do catch the regression.

Hardening: committing the datapath reliably

Two follow-up commits, both found by running this branch on a live 12-node cluster rather than by reading the code.

retry cleanup deletions per element on ENOENT

A flush is a single nftables transaction, so one element that is already gone aborts every other deletion queued with it — and the startup purges tolerated that ENOENT on the whole batch, reporting success while removing nothing.

Observed while rolling the image back: the node held seven stale pod_svc entries, the purge queued all seven plus the mirrored svc_pod deletions, svc_pod was empty, and the resulting ENOENT cancelled the pod_svc deletions too. The log said CleanupRules completed successfully and the map still held every entry.

The purges in this branch build their deletions from elements they have just read, so they only reach that state on a race; the silent no-op above was the previous build, which queued the mirrored deletion without checking it was there. Retrying per element makes the outcome independent of it either way.

serialize datapath writes and isolate conflict removals

nftables.Conn guards its message list but not the interval between queueing messages and committing them, and the connection is shared by the service informer, the endpoint informer and the startup reconciliation. One caller's flush therefore carries another's half-queued messages, the batch is transactional, and a stale deletion in it aborts the other caller's addition — which nothing retries, because the controller only reacts to events.

Measured on a rolling restart of 12 nodes: 4 nodes lost one service each, all with conn.Receive: netlink receive: no such file or directory at commit time.

Node	Service	Lost operation
node-a	x.x.x.130	ingress DNAT
node-b	x.x.x.77	port filter
node-c	x.x.x.169	egress SNAT
node-d	x.x.x.6	egress SNAT

Three recovered on the next endpoint event. The first did not: a public IP with no svc_pod entry, unreachable for nine minutes until its pod was restarted.

Splitting EnsureRules into two calls made this more likely by doubling the flushes per service, and made it visible — the old code discarded EnsureRules' error, so this class of failure was already happening silently.

Fix: a mutex across every queue-then-flush sequence, so a batch only ever holds one caller's messages (EnsurePortFilter reaches DeletePortFilter through an unlocked inner function, since sync.Mutex is not reentrant). Plus each conflict removal committed on its own, ahead of the addition that replaces it, so the addition no longer depends on an ENOENT that no longer matters. EnsurePortFilter is why this matters most: its rebuild deletes the pod's allowed_ports before re-adding them, so losing the additions leaves the pod in filtered_pods with no open port at all.

Result

Same rolling restart, after the fix: 0 programming errors across 12 nodes, against 4 before. A sweep of all 78 managed public services from a pod on an unrelated node: 68 open, 10 refused (path fine, nothing listening), 0 timeouts. Inbound external traffic unchanged throughout — ~250k pass events over 5 minutes across 256 public IPs, no blocks.

Worth knowing for operators: every cozy-proxy restart re-runs InitRules, which flushes and recreates the table, so each node's managed public IPs are briefly dark as the DaemonSet rolls. Unrelated to these commits, but it is what a tenant notices during an upgrade.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c7864

This change improves resiliency by making startup cleanup failures non-fatal instead of crash-looping the proxy, and it adds retry queues for programming, withdrawal, and cleanup work. However, two confirmed gaps remain: a repeat cleanup failure during retry silently stops retrying instead of rescheduling itself, and the underlying nftables client still cannot detect the "element already gone" condition it was intended to tolerate. In practice this means the crash-loop symptom from the earlier production incident is fixed, but stale firewall/NAT state left over from cleanup races may not get cleaned up until something else restarts the process. These should be addressed before merging to fully close out the incident this PR is meant to resolve.

Follow-up commit: the first rollout of this branch on a production cluster crash-looped one node, which surfaced a second defect worth fixing here rather than separately.

CleanupRules queued deletions and additions into a single nftables batch and treated any flush error as fatal. Deleting a set element that is already gone reports ENOENT, which fails the whole flush, so Start returned an error, the manager exited, and the pod entered CrashLoopBackOff with the node's ruleset half-programmed.

Scoping the rules to the local node turns this from rare into reliable: the first startup after the change deletes every entry the node inherited for backends it does not host, which is most of them.

The fix commits deletions separately from additions and tolerates ENOENT on the flush, the way DeleteRules, DeletePortFilter and DeleteICMPAllow already do; the same split is applied to CleanupPortFilters and CleanupICMPAllow. A cleanup failure is now logged instead of aborting Start, since the informers converge on the next event anyway and staying up with stale entries beats exiting with a partial ruleset.

Worth noting that the same ENOENT already shows up on v0.3.0 at pod startup, in EnsureICMPAllow and EnsureRules. It is harmless there only because those call sites log and continue. The fragility is pre-existing; this branch just moved it into a path that killed the process.

Re-validated on a 3-node cluster carrying 15 managed services, transitioning from v0.3.0 (global maps, ~27 mappings/node) to this branch (~6 mappings/node):

• rollout completes with 0 restarts, Ignoring ENOENT on flush {"op": "CleanupPortFilters deletions"} present in the logs, so the failing path is genuinely exercised and survived
• 3 further forced restart cycles: 0 restarts, 0 manager exits
• cross-node managed -> managed from two different source nodes: succeeds
• declared port from outside: open; undeclared port from outside: filtered

Inject NODE_NAME in the chart DaemonSet. The supported Helm installation uses charts/cozy-proxy/templates/daemonset.yaml, which does not define NODE_NAME. Therefore, main.go passes an empty NodeName to ServicesController. servesEndpoint then returns true for every backend, so ordinary chart deployments keep programming ingress rules cluster-wide. This leaves the cross-node connection hang reachable.

it calls markCleanupPending() after logging a failed cleanup retry, ensuring the
cleanup is scheduled again when the current retry fails.

Addressed the outside-diff finding from the last review pass (Requeue cleanup after a failed retry, services_controller.go:278-280) in the commit above.

Verified it: takePending clears pendingCleanup before the retry runs, and the error branch only logged, so the reconciliation was attempted exactly once and then forgotten — while my own message said "will try again", which was simply untrue. The per-service and withdrawal paths do not have this gap because they re-queue themselves from inside the call that failed; only this branch relied on its caller.

Fixed as suggested, plus the log message now says what happens. A test asserts that a failing retry is queued again and that a successful one clears the flag; dropping the markCleanupPending() call makes it fail.
