with a VIP-only path: preserve vip_ip as the translated source and skip network
SNAT and SNAT-port allocation, even when nat_ip is also configured. Keep the
existing south-north behavior unchanged, including its current handling of
combined VIP and NAT configuration.

flows already marked with DP_FLOW_FLAG_SRC_NAT, while preserving processing for
unflagged and loopback cases. Use the existing flow-flag helpers around
cntrack->flow_flags so dp_process_ipv4_snat is invoked only once for loopback
SNAT flows.

Process loopback SNAT only once.
DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACK remains set after dp_process_ipv4_snat adds DP_FLOW_FLAG_SRC_NAT. Later original-direction packets return through snat and call the helper again. The helper repeats reply-flow replacement and reference-count operations. With network NAT, the allocator finds the existing mapping and returns -EEXIST, so the SNAT node drops the packet.
Exclude established DP_FLOW_FLAG_SRC_NAT flows from this branch.

This sounds really convincing. If I understand it correctly, you would need to do something like && !DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_SRC_NAT(cntrack->flow_flags) so
if ((DP_FLOW_HAS_NO_FLAGS(cntrack->flow_flags)
|| (DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACK(cntrack->flow_flags) && !DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_SRC_NAT(cntrack->flow_flags))
I undertand the bits but the actual source of the problem not exactly, so check my thinging.
BUT
when I think about it even more (and again missing deeper understanding of the whole change)
do we not actually want DP_FLOW_HAS_NO_FLAGS(cntrack->flow_flags) || cntrack->flow_flags == DST_NAT_LOOPBACK ? That way flags are either ZERO or ONLY loopback set?

@PlagueCZ, your first condition is the correct fix:
if ((DP_FLOW_HAS_NO_FLAGS(cntrack->flow_flags)
|| (DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACK(cntrack->flow_flags)
&& !DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_SRC_NAT(cntrack->flow_flags)))
&& df->flow_dir == DP_FLOW_DIR_ORG) {The exact-value check would not work here:
cntrack->flow_flags == DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACKdnat_node.c sets DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT before it sets DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACK. Therefore, on the first loopback packet, the flags are already:
DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT | DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACKThe exact-value condition would reject that packet. The SNAT processing would not run.
After dp_process_ipv4_snat() completes, it adds DP_FLOW_FLAG_SRC_NAT. The flags then include:
DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT | DP_FLOW_FLAG_DST_NAT_LOOPBACK | DP_FLOW_FLAG_SRC_NATThe !DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_SRC_NAT(...) condition accepts the first loopback pass and rejects later original-direction passes. The existing DP_FLOW_HAS_FLAG_SRC_NAT(...) branch then applies the stored SNAT mapping.

Preserve VIP translation for DNAT loopback flows.
dp_set_iface_vip_ip and dp_set_iface_nat_ip reject duplicate values but allow both fields on one VF. The test configures both values in sequence. dnat_node then marks a local-VIP flow for loopback when vip_ip is set, without checking nat_ip.
dp_process_ipv4_snat writes vip_ip, then allocates an SNAT port and overwrites the source with nat_ip. The receiving VF can therefore see nat_ip instead of the sender VIP.
Use a loopback-specific VIP-only path that skips network SNAT and port allocation. Preserve the existing south-north coexistence behavior.

I was always working under the assumption that NAT and VIP are exclusive, because how would you even do an SNAT? How would you choose which IP to use? The VIP one or the NAT one?
We even have static checks in OSC to prevent having both VIP and NAT.
I pointed this out long time ago (Guvenc must have edited the comment later):
341c71b2b src/nodes/snat_node.c (Guvenc Gulce 2023-12-22 10:57:36 +0100 32) // TODO(tao?): in case of both VIP and NAT set, VIP gets written here and immediately overwritten by NAT
But there is a pytest to check we support it in dpservice:
2e10d684c test/test_nat.py (Guvenc Gulce 2023-02-13 13:40:41 +0100 127) def test_network_nat_vip_co_existence_on_same_vm(prepare_ifaces, grpc_client):
So what I would propose:
- remove the test
- add grpc safeguard against this
- create grpc test to make sure this fails
- maybe even address the old comment by adding
elseinstead of twoifstatements
