A CI worker may preempt an in-flight ci-local.sh run (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL
after a grace period) to restart on a newer commit. For that kill to be safe,
the script must clean up after itself and never let a dying run collide with
its restart. It previously had no signal handling, shared the default compose
project name across runs, and tore down each suite only at the suite end.
- Derive a per-run id (honoring FIPS_CI_RUN_ID, else short-sha+random) and
namespace every docker resource to it: a fipsci_<run>_<suite> compose project
per suite and per parallel chaos child, and per-run image tags
(fips-test:<run>, fips-test-app:<run>) retagged to :latest only after both
builds succeed so :latest never points at a half-built image.
- Install a bounded, idempotent teardown trap on SIGTERM/SIGINT (+ EXIT): reap
parallel chaos children, then force-remove this run's docker resources via
the new ci-cleanup.sh, wrapped in timeout so a stuck down cannot wedge it.
- Exit 143 (SIGTERM) / 130 (SIGINT), distinct from 0 (pass) / 1 (failed), so a
preempting worker tells a cancelled run from a real failure.
- Add ci-cleanup.sh (also ci-local.sh --reap): force-removes leftover CI
resources by the com.corganlabs.fips-ci=1 label and the fipsci_ project
prefix, robust to however a prior run died.
- Label every per-suite docker resource so the label sweep reaps it after a
SIGKILL regardless of network name: direct docker run/network resources, the
sidecar compose services, and every per-suite compose network (acl-allowlist,
boringtun, firewall, nat, static, both tor suites, and the chaos generator
template). Parametrize the static/sidecar compose image refs so the per-run
tags are honored.
- Give each parallel chaos child a unique /24 from 10.30.x (a new --subnet
override on the sim CLI, assigned per-child in ci-local.sh) so parallel
children never collide on a shared docker subnet, and a chaos net can never
span a fixed-subnet suite (sidecar/static in 172.20.x). 10.30.x sits outside
docker's default-address-pool range, so an auto-assigned net cannot land on
it either; node IPs derive from the subnet, so no scenario config changes.
Three infrastructure bugs fixed:
- DNS resolution never populated the identity cache because Docker
overwrites /etc/resolv.conf at container start. Fix: bind-mount
resolv.conf in the chaos compose template, matching the static and
sidecar test configs.
- Traffic generator used config-time npubs for iperf3 targets, but
ephemeral nodes generate fresh keypairs at startup. Fix: share the
peer churn manager's runtime npub cache with the traffic manager.
- Log analysis had no discovery counters and used wrong patterns.
Fix: add discovery section with correct log message matching.
Also adds timestamped output directories (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-scenario),
coord_ttl_secs override in maelstrom.yaml, FIPS_SIM_OUTPUT env var
support, and maelstrom-sparse scenario for sparse topology testing.
Implement raw Ethernet transport using AF_PACKET SOCK_DGRAM on Linux
with EtherType 0x88B5 (IEEE experimental range) and 1-byte frame type
prefix (0x00=data, 0x01=beacon).
Transport implementation:
- EthernetConfig with interface, ethertype, MTU, buffer sizes, and
four independent discovery knobs (discovery, announce, auto_connect,
accept_connections)
- PacketSocket/AsyncPacketSocket wrappers with ioctl helpers for
interface index, MAC address, and MTU queries
- EthernetTransport with Transport trait impl, async start/stop/send,
receive loop dispatching data frames and discovery beacons
- Discovery beacons (34 bytes: type + version + x-only pubkey) with
DiscoveryBuffer for peer accumulation and dedup
- Atomic statistics counters (frames, bytes, errors, beacons)
- Platform-gated with #[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
Transport-layer discovery integration:
- Promote auto_connect() and accept_connections() to Transport trait
with default implementations and TransportHandle dispatch
- Extract initiate_connection() so both static peer config and
discovery auto-connect share the same handshake initiation path
- Add poll_transport_discovery() to the tick handler to drain
discovery buffers and auto-connect to discovered peers
- Enforce accept_connections() in handle_msg1() — transports with
accept_connections=false silently drop inbound handshakes
Node integration:
- create_transports() handles Ethernet named instances
- resolve_ethernet_addr() parses "interface/mac" address format
- transport_mtu() generalized for multi-transport operation
Test harness:
- VethPair RAII struct for veth pair lifecycle management
- Three #[ignore] integration tests requiring root/CAP_NET_RAW:
two-node handshake, data exchange, mixed transport coexistence
- Chaos harness: transport-aware topology model, VethManager for
veth pairs between Docker containers, Ethernet-aware config gen,
netem split (HTB+u32 for UDP, root netem for veth), transport-aware
link flaps and node churn with veth re-setup
- Container entrypoint waits for configured Ethernet interfaces
before starting FIPS (handles veth creation timing)
- New scenarios: ethernet-only (4-node ring), ethernet-mesh (6-node
mixed UDP+Ethernet with netem and link flaps)
