From fbe3c0340a0501da51ece9518b6993df515be3e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Hernandez <7144515+jasonhernandez@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 18:46:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/15] vsock: add virtio-vsock support for host-guest communication MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add vsock device support across both Firecracker (Linux) and AVF (macOS) backends, enabling structured host↔guest communication over a Unix domain socket instead of SSH polling. CLI: `ember vm create myvm --image base --vsock` YAML config: `vsock: true` UDS created at: `/vms//vsock.sock` Linux (Firecracker): - New `PUT /vsock` API call with guest CID and UDS path - Firecracker natively creates the UDS and bridges to guest AF_VSOCK macOS (AVF): - VZVirtioSocketDeviceConfiguration added to VM config - ember-vz implements a UDS bridge: accepts host connections on the UDS and proxies them to guest vsock port 1024, and accepts guest-initiated connections on port 1024 and bridges them back to the UDS Both platforms expose the same UDS interface — Thermite's code path is identical regardless of the underlying hypervisor.

This means `ember exec` works immediately after create — no manual polling needed. Also add --wait flag to `ember exec` for configuring the SSH connect timeout (default: 30s, can be increased for heavy images). If the wait times out, the VM is still running — just SSH is slow. A hint is printed suggesting `ember exec --wait`.

Between read and write, another process could run its own read+modify+write and both would think they had the lowest free slot. Observed manifestation: after a host crash, six parallel `ember vm start` invocations each saw an empty allocations file, each picked slot 0, and configured their NICs with the same IP. The persisted state captured only the last writer; on the bridge, ARP resolved each duplicate IP to one MAC, so SSH to three different VM names landed on one VM. A subsequent thermite dispatch silently consolidated three agents onto one host. (See SEC-459.) The structural fix: relational state moves to a SQLite database at `/state.db` with a `(subnet, block_index) PRIMARY KEY` plus `vm_name UNIQUE` constraint. Double-allocation is impossible at the data layer — the second INSERT for the same slot fails with SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_PRIMARYKEY, so even if the read-modify-write logic regresses, the schema catches it. Allocators run under `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`, which acquires the write lock at transaction start (not lazily on first write). This eliminates the SELECT/INSERT race window. Connections are opened per call; SQLite's WAL mode + busy_timeout handles concurrent readers and serializes writers correctly without per-process pooling. Changes: * `crates/ember-core/src/state/db.rs` — new module that opens `state.db`, runs the schema bootstrap (idempotent CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS), enables WAL mode, and sets a 5s busy timeout. Schema uses STRICT tables for type enforcement. * `crates/ember-core/src/network/ip.rs` — `IpAllocations` JSON struct deleted; `allocate` and `release` rewritten against the SQLite schema. New `check_invariants()` helper used by `vm list`. * `crates/ember-core/src/state/store.rs` — `network_allocations_path` and the `network/` directory init are removed. State store no longer touches the JSON allocator file. * `src/cli/vm.rs` — `vm list` flags VMs whose state is corrupted (two VMs sharing a guest_ip; allocator anomalies from check_invariants) with `[CORRUPTED]` and prints a recovery hint. Belt-and-suspenders for the hypothetical case where state was migrated from the old store or hand-edited around the schema. * New rusqlite dep (bundled feature — single .a file, no system libsqlite3 runtime dep, consistent with ember's "no fragile bindings" philosophy). No backwards compatibility. Existing `network/allocations.json` files are stale (this fix lands on R&D pool VMs that are recreated regularly, and the state file is corrupt today anyway). The serde types and the read/write paths are deleted, not deprecated. Tests: * Schema-level: PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints reject duplicate inserts (covers the structural-impossibility property) * Behavior preserved: all existing allocate/release tests pass against the new backend * Stress: 50 OS threads each calling `allocate()` against a shared store with distinct VM names — assert all 50 returned slots are unique and the table has 50 rows. This is the regression test for the original TOCTOU bug. Passes in both debug and release builds. * `check_invariants` returns empty list on a clean store cargo build, cargo test --workspace, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings all clean. Closes SEC-459. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) * network: address SEC-459 review feedback Three non-blocking polish items from the PR review: 1. Stress test now uses std::sync::Barrier so all 50 threads enter BEGIN IMMEDIATE near-simultaneously rather than serializing on scheduler luck. The reviewer ran a 200-thread barrier-synchronized variant independently to validate the property; this brings the in-tree test up to the same level of confidence. 2. db::open now sets busy_timeout BEFORE the WAL journal_mode pragma. The first-time WAL conversion takes a write lock; if two processes race that conversion, one would otherwise see SQLITE_BUSY without retry. After the first conversion, the pragma is a no-op. (This was actually a real race — the in-tree test flaked once on the pre-reorder build until the reorder took effect.) 3. Removed the stale "vsock/cids.json" reference from db.rs's module docstring. That allocator hasn't been implemented yet; future work should add its own table to this same database. The remaining review item (refactor check_invariants to return structured Anomaly { vm_names } and stop swallowing DB errors via unwrap_or_default) is more substantive and is being filed as a follow-up issue rather than bundled here. cargo test --workspace + cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets clean. parallel_allocate stress test passes 10/10 with the barrier in place.
