Combined with splice it gives the highest terminate throughput measured, so it is worth having for bulk-transfer deployments -- but it stays off by default because connection setup rate drops ~30%.

Offloading at handshake time therefore penalises short request/response connections that never earn it back. With the new proxy.ktls_offload_after_bytes, a connection starts in userspace rustls and is handed to the kernel only once it has moved that many bytes: flush, let CorkStream stop at a TLS record boundary, extract the current traffic secrets (they carry the record sequence numbers, which is what makes a mid-stream handover sound), install them into the kernel, splice the rest. 0 keeps the previous immediate-offload behaviour. Measured on a dedicated 44-vCPU GCP VM, gateway pinned to 4 cores, threshold 1 MiB (2 interleaved rounds): rustls 32170 CPS 7.70 GB/s 164459 small-req/s kTLS immediate 21212 CPS 9.95 GB/s 193208 small-req/s (-34% CPS) kTLS adaptive 26303 CPS 9.93 GB/s 194720 small-req/s (-18% CPS) So it recovers about half the lost connection rate while keeping the full throughput gain, and long-lived small-request connections gain ~18% at lower CPU because they cross the threshold and then run zero-copy. Verified: with a 1 MiB threshold a small request does not offload (kernel TlsTxSw unchanged) while a 100 MiB transfer does (counter +1), checksum matches and TlsDecryptError stays 0. --- dstack/gateway/gateway.toml | 2 + dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 10 ++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs | 1 + dstack/gateway/src/proxy/adaptive_ktls.rs | 110 ++++++++++++++++++++++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_terminate.rs | 49 ++++++++++ 5 files changed, 172 insertions(+) create mode 100644 dstack/gateway/src/proxy/adaptive_ktls.rs diff --git a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml index 766cf0ea6..0af0b3751 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml +++ b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml @@ -96,6 +96,8 @@ tcp_splice_enabled = false # Offload TLS record crypto to the kernel (kTLS) on the terminate path. # Hands session keys to the kernel; see config.rs for the security note. ktls_enabled = false +# Bytes transferred before a connection is offloaded to kTLS (0 = immediately). +ktls_offload_after_bytes = 0 [core.proxy.port_policy_fetch] # Background lazy-fetch of port_policy from legacy CVM agents. diff --git a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs index 070b71a8a..6f64af9d5 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs +++ b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs @@ -153,6 +153,16 @@ pub struct ProxyConfig { /// but on a non-TEE host this widens key exposure.

The cause was scheduling, not the data path: the gateway performed ~0.617 context switches per request against HAProxy's ~0.000. Two sources, both structural: * accept runs on its own current_thread runtime and hands every connection to a separate multi-threaded worker runtime -- one cross-runtime wakeup per connection; * tokio's work-stealing scheduler then migrates those tasks between worker threads, costing further wakeups and cache locality. With proxy.thread_per_core = true the proxy instead runs `workers` threads, each with its own current_thread runtime and its own SO_REUSEPORT listener. The kernel load-balances new connections across the listeners and a connection is accepted and served entirely on one thread, so nothing is handed off. Measured on a dedicated 44-vCPU GCP VM, 4 cores, vs the default model and vs HAProxy given matching settings: default thread-per-core HAProxy terminate small-req 158k @3.55 267k @4.03 204k @4.03 terminate CPS 32.8k @3.65 45.0k @3.96 28.2k @4.00 passthrough small-req 175k @3.56 312k @4.02 355k @4.02 terminate throughput 7.5 GB/s 8.3 GB/s 6.0 GB/s Context switches per request drop to ~0.000 and the proxy now saturates its cores. That turns two of the three deficits against HAProxy into wins (terminate small-request +31%, terminate CPS +60%) and closes most of the third (passthrough small-request now -12%, was -63%). Off by default: it changes the process model, needs SO_REUSEPORT (Linux), and per-core accept queues mean a slow connection can only be served by the core that accepted it.

Its benefit is per byte but its cost is per connection, the same shape as kTLS, so short request/response connections paid for zero-copy they never used. With the new proxy.tcp_splice_after_bytes a passthrough connection is relayed with plain reads/writes until it has moved that many bytes, then switches to splice for the remainder. 0 keeps the previous behaviour. The relay buffers come from a thread-local pool for the same reason the pipes do: a first cut that allocated two buffer_size buffers per connection was *worse* than the pipe setup it replaced (148.6 us vs 133.5 us per connection). Pooled, and sized for this phase rather than for bulk copying, it wins.

The only thing holding it back was that it had never run longer than a benchmark. A soak of 8 x 60s of mixed load (small-request, bulk, connection-churn) says it is stable: RSS 21.9 MB cold -> ~44 MB steady, flat across all rounds fds 31 -> 543, plateauing at the pipe pool cap, then flat threads 11, constant drift small-request -2.3%, connection rate -1.3% (both within noise) Flipping the default needs a safety net, because the model cannot work without SO_REUSEPORT and failing to serve is much worse than losing the optimisation. `start` now probes a SO_REUSEPORT bind first and falls back to the shared-runtime proxy with a warning if it fails. Verified by occupying the port with a non-REUSEPORT socket: the gateway logs the fallback and keeps serving. Deployments that want the old process model can still set proxy.thread_per_core = false. The one behavioural difference to be aware of is that per-core accept queues mean a connection is served by the core that accepted it, so a slow core cannot be helped by its neighbours. --- dstack/gateway/gateway.toml | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml index 6097305a9..fea1f51e7 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml +++ b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ app_address_ns_prefix = "_dstack-app-address" app_address_ns_compat = true workers = 32 # One runtime + SO_REUSEPORT listener per worker (thread-per-core).

Passthrough always has a plain socket on both sides, so it can use `TcpStream::split`, which hands out borrowed halves with no lock. Added `bridge_tcp` for that case. * every read, write and flush was wrapped in `tokio::time::timeout`, i.e. three timer arm/disarm pairs per request; `TimerEntry` drop plus poll_elapsed came to 2.9%. Replaced with one watchdog per connection that samples per-direction progress counters -- the hot path now costs an integer increment instead of touching the timer wheel, and no clock is read. The watchdog is coarser than the old per-operation timeouts: it fires within `idle/4`, so a stalled connection is closed in up to 1.25x `idle` rather than exactly at it. Verified with `idle = 3s`: old path closed at 3.0s, new at 3.7s.

Bind them all up front instead and hand listener i to worker i: the setup leaves the per-thread path, and group order becomes ours. That order matters for anything that steers connections by listener index, which is what motivated this. Recording the result of that attempt here, because it was a dead end worth not repeating: SO_REUSEPORT's default 4-tuple hash distributes moderate numbers of long-lived connections unevenly, and thread-per-core cannot rebalance afterwards. At 16 connections over 4 cores the per-core utilisation came out like [99, 42, 101, 101] and throughput swung 46% between restarts purely on how the hash fell. SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF was tried to replace the hash. Classic BPF has no maps, so round-robin is not expressible; the only useful signal it exposes is the CPU handling the packet, so the program steered by `cpu % n`.

At 16 connections over 4 cores utilisation came out like [99, 42, 101, 101] and throughput varied 46% between restarts on nothing but how the hash fell. Steering the kernel's choice with SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF was tried first and measured worse (see the previous commit). This fixes it on our side instead: the accepting core compares its own connection count against the least loaded core and, if it is ahead by more than a small slack, sends the connection over a channel for that core to serve. The cost is one channel send per *rebalanced connection* -- never per connection, never per request -- so everything already in flight keeps the thread-per-core locality that made this model fast. Measured over 6 restarts per arm, 4-core gateway, passthrough small-request: connections off on 16 236 110 rps, worst core 72% 251 840 rps, worst core 85% (+6.7%) 50 291 932 rps 287 440 rps (-1.5%) CPS 17 636 17 557 (-0.4%) The worst case improves more than the average: no core dropped below 76% with rebalancing, against a low of 47% without it. At high connection counts the hash is already even, so the balancer only costs its own bookkeeping. Off by default (`connection_rebalance`) since it trades a little at the high end for a lot at the low end, and which matters depends on the deployment. --- dstack/gateway/gateway.toml | 2 + dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 22 +++++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs | 89 ++++++++++++++---- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/balance.rs | 138 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 232 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dstack/gateway/src/proxy/balance.rs diff --git a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml index fea1f51e7..d48b75581 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml +++ b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml @@ -86,6 +86,8 @@ app_address_ns_compat = true workers = 32 # One runtime + SO_REUSEPORT listener per worker (thread-per-core).

Moving that object to another core left the registration behind, so every read and write on a rebalanced connection went through the accepting core's epoll and woke the owning core across the channel -- for the whole life of the connection, not just at handover.

Also tried and dropped: capping accepts per scheduler turn the way HAProxy's `maxaccept` does, and pushing every connection through the handoff channel even when it stays local (HAProxy does this deliberately, for cache locality).

LLM token streaming is where the proxy breaks: 4000 tokens of ~64 B is ~256 KB total, so the connection is classified bulk, while its actual shape -- many tiny writes -- is exactly what the gate exists to exclude. Worse, the classification arrives late: 64 KiB at 40 tok/s is ~25 s, so every stream spends its first quarter on the copy path and short conversations never promote at all, making the path taken depend on prompt length. Add an independent duration gate. The two are complementary rather than alternatives: bytes catches high-rate connections within milliseconds but is blind to long-lived low-rate streams; duration catches those but is blind to short high-rate ones that finish before it fires. Whichever fires first engages. Check the gate only at the tail of the relay loop, where both directions have completed their write_all and nothing is buffered in userspace -- the same point the byte check already used, so the handover boundary is unchanged. A timer arm inside the select! would also be safe but would promote merely-idle connections, allocating a pipe for a stream with nothing to move. Replace the four flat fields with two optional sections. `0` previously had to mean both "engage immediately" and, once a second gate exists, "this gate is disabled"; with an Option per gate and the whole section optional, every state has exactly one representation: absent section = disabled, empty section = engage immediately, either gate set = engage when it fires. This also folds away the separate `*_enabled` booleans, which would otherwise be a second spelling of "never engage". None of these fields are upstream yet, so there is no compatibility cost. Also add serde_duration::option for Option config fields, with tests. --- dstack/Cargo.lock | 1 + dstack/gateway/gateway.toml | 29 ++-- dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 161 +++++++++++++++++---- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/adaptive_ktls.rs | 35 +++-- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/balance.rs | 1 - dstack/gateway/src/proxy/splice.rs | 29 ++-- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_passthough.rs | 15 +- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_terminate.rs | 15 +- dstack/serde-duration/Cargo.toml | 3 + dstack/serde-duration/src/lib.rs | 135 ++++++++++++++--- 10 files changed, 327 insertions(+), 97 deletions(-) diff --git a/dstack/Cargo.lock b/dstack/Cargo.lock index 3687e67c9..ddfe9dcee 100644 --- a/dstack/Cargo.lock +++ b/dstack/Cargo.lock @@ -6775,6 +6775,7 @@ name = "serde-duration" version = "0.6.0" dependencies = [ "serde", + "serde_json", ] [[package]] diff --git a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml index 0fd97608c..472422237 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml +++ b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml @@ -93,17 +93,24 @@ external_port = 443 max_connections_per_app = 2000 # Whether to read PROXY protocol from inbound connections (e.g. from Cloudflare). inbound_pp_enabled = false -# Use splice(2) zero-copy relaying for the TLS-passthrough path (Linux only). -# Bulk throughput +~12%, but small-request latency regresses.

A bidirectional relay therefore holds one pipe per direction, and since a pipe is unidirectional and stateful the two cannot be shared, so a spliced connection pins four descriptors. Held for the connection's lifetime that is proportional to connections rather than to work: LLM token streaming moves a ~64 B record every 25 ms and spends over 99% of the connection idle, yet keeps all four. Measured on the streaming bench, 50k connections with 10k active streams reached 140 031 descriptors, and every connection eventually crosses the engage gate, so the steady state for 50k streams is 300k descriptors. Park the pipe while the source is dry. The release point is provably safe: the relay only waits for readability once the previous chunk has been fully drained into the destination and the fill attempt that just returned WouldBlock added nothing, so the pipe is empty exactly where it is handed back. The saving is sharing, not elimination -- parked pipes stay open in the pool. The bound moves from 4 * connections to 2 * PIPE_POOL_MAX * workers plus whatever is genuinely in flight, so a 32-worker gateway tops out near 4k descriptors instead of 300k. Pipes are only created when the pool is empty, so the live count converges on peak concurrent in-flight chunks rather than churning pipe2/close. Behind release_idle_pipes so the two behaviours can be benchmarked against each other. Tests cover it in descriptors rather than through the pool as a proxy, counting this thread's live pipes exactly (process-wide /proc/self/fd races with tests on other threads). Eight idle connections cost 2 descriptors with release on and 32 with it off. Also covered: payload integrity across repeated park/reacquire cycles, which is where a stale or half-drained pipe would corrupt the stream. --- dstack/gateway/gateway.toml | 4 + dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 30 ++- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/adaptive_ktls.rs | 13 +- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/splice.rs | 233 ++++++++++++++++++++- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_passthough.rs | 4 +- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_terminate.rs | 21 +- 6 files changed, 280 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml index 472422237..a93bff51b 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml +++ b/dstack/gateway/gateway.toml @@ -105,6 +105,10 @@ inbound_pp_enabled = false # # Long-lived low-rate streams (e.g. LLM token streaming) never accumulate # # bytes fast enough for the gate above, so they need this one instead. # after_duration = "5s" +# # Park a relay's pipe in the pool while it waits for the next chunk.

Measured with both classes on the same gateway, 10k token streams alongside 256 bulk connections saturating passthrough at 12.8 GB/s. The pool holds at 8 descriptors against 9024 with release off, bulk throughput is identical, and both classes come out marginally faster with release on. The reason it does not degenerate is that even a flat-out bulk connection idles ~62 us between chunks and releases in that window. Getting the saturated case took two attempts: at 96 bulk connections the gateway was only asked for 6.1 GB/s against a ~12 GB/s ceiling, so nothing was backlogged and the test proved less than it appeared to. --- dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) diff --git a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs index 4f9c29cc5..036b59e0a 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs +++ b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs @@ -277,6 +277,26 @@ pub struct SpliceConfig { /// saturated, `on` costs ~1 ms on p50 and saves ~40 ms on p999; the p999 /// gain is consistent across repeats but comes from a regime that is already /// over budget.

Immediate offload fails at the handshake, so the gateway serves nothing -- bad, but loud. The gated offload is worse: the connection is served from userspace up to the threshold and only fails at the gate, so the client gets HTTP 200 with the body truncated at exactly the gate size, and the gateway logs it as a per-connection error rather than a misconfiguration. Measured on a host with the tls module blocked, `after_bytes = 65536`: before GET /100m -> 200, 65536 of 104857600 bytes, silent truncation after GET /100m -> 200, 104857600 bytes, one warning at startup So probe once at startup instead: establish a throwaway loopback connection and set TCP_ULP on it (the ULP is only accepted on an established socket, so probing a fresh one would report ENOTCONN either way). If the kernel refuses, clear the section and warn. This runs before the acceptor is built, which is also what decides whether rustls extracts session secrets at all -- so the fallback does not leave secret extraction enabled for an offload that can never happen. This is not hypothetical for dstack: the guest OS image ships no tls.ko and no CONFIG_TLS, so a gateway running inside a CVM hits exactly this path today. Verified on Linux 6.8 with the tls module present (kTLS still engages, TlsTxSw +1 for a 100 MiB transfer, no warning) and blocked (both modes fall back to userspace rustls, full body delivered, zero per-connection offload errors). --- dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 4 ++ dstack/gateway/src/main.rs | 5 +- dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs | 97 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs index 036b59e0a..eebe83956 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs +++ b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs @@ -199,6 +199,10 @@ pub struct ProxyConfig { /// section means.

The only signals available were one startup warning and the host-global /proc/net/tls_stat, which is not per-gateway and has no splice equivalent. Adds ProxyAccelStatus to the Status RPC and a Data Path panel to the dashboard: the effective mode of each option, plus three counters -- connections offloaded to the kernel, offloads that failed, and connections that entered a splice relay. Failed offloads are separate from "not accelerated" on purpose: non-zero there means connections are being dropped or truncated, not just running slower. Counters are relaxed atomics bumped once per connection, on the same order as the existing NUM_CONNECTIONS. Splice is counted in splice_bidirectional, the one funnel both the passthrough gate and the post-kTLS handover pass through. Verified against traffic with a known shape (2 small terminate requests under the gate, 1 large one over it, 1 large passthrough), across every state: ktls=off ktls=off splice=after 64 KiB or 5s 0/0/1 ktls=adaptive ktls=after 64 KiB or 5s splice=after 64 KiB or 5s 1/0/2 ktls=immediate ktls=immediate splice=after 64 KiB or 5s 3/0/4 splice=off ktls=off splice=off 0/0/0 no TLS ULP ktls=disabled (...) splice=after 64 KiB or 5s 0/0/1 (offloaded/failed/spliced). The adaptive arm offloads only the connection that crossed the gate; the immediate arm offloads all three; splice counts one extra for the passthrough connection in every arm that has splice on. --- dstack/gateway/rpc/proto/gateway_rpc.proto | 22 ++++ dstack/gateway/src/admin_service.rs | 5 +- dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 29 +++++ dstack/gateway/src/models.rs | 5 +- dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs | 2 + dstack/gateway/src/proxy/adaptive_ktls.rs | 3 +- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/splice.rs | 3 + dstack/gateway/src/proxy/stats.rs | 125 +++++++++++++++++++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_terminate.rs | 3 +- dstack/gateway/src/web_routes/route_index.rs | 7 +- dstack/gateway/templates/dashboard.html | 33 +++++ 11 files changed, 230 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dstack/gateway/src/proxy/stats.rs diff --git a/dstack/gateway/rpc/proto/gateway_rpc.proto b/dstack/gateway/rpc/proto/gateway_rpc.proto index 046b731ed..54778d8b7 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/rpc/proto/gateway_rpc.proto +++ b/dstack/gateway/rpc/proto/gateway_rpc.proto @@ -104,6 +104,28 @@ message StatusResponse { repeated GatewayNodeInfo nodes = 6; // Peer uuid bytes uuid = 7; + // What the data path is actually doing with kTLS and splice. + ProxyAccelStatus accel = 8; +} + +// Effective state of the data-path acceleration options. +// +// The configured value does not say what is running: the startup probe can turn +// kTLS off on a kernel without the TLS ULP, and both options engage per +// connection only once their gate fires.

From c02d77ae2256dbc4b69e5b3baa272865fa7f370f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wang Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:36:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 31/49] build(gateway): vendor ktls 6.0.2 with the musl fix The gateway CVM app image is built for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, and ktls 6.0.2 does not compile for it: error[E0063]: missing field `__pad1` in initializer of `cmsghdr` error: cannot construct `msghdr` with struct literal syntax due to private fields The crate builds both structs with struct literal syntax. That is fine on glibc, where they have exactly the members it names, but musl declares msg_iovlen and msg_controllen as int/socklen_t followed by explicit padding, and libc models that with private __pad1/__pad2 members a literal cannot name. So this is a permanent property of musl's ABI rather than a libc regression, and 6.0.2 is the latest published release -- there is no version to bump to. rustls/ktls#70 fixes it by building both from std::mem::zeroed() field by field. It has been open since 2026-05-04. Rather than point the dependency at the contributor's fork -- a moving, non-crates.io source for the crate that installs session keys into the kernel, in a build that otherwise pins everything down to package versions and image digests -- the 6.0.2 release is vendored with only that patch applied. Each hunk is marked, dev-dependencies are dropped, and vendor/README.md records the provenance and the condition for deleting it again. ktls was the only thing blocking the musl build (confirmed with --keep-going). Verified by running both binaries against the same backend: a 100 MiB transfer through the terminate path checksums correctly, kTLS actually engages (ktls_offloaded=2, ktls_offload_failed=0) and TlsDecryptError stays at 0 for the glibc and the static musl build alike. The patched code is on the close_notify path, so compiling was not the interesting half. --- REUSE.toml | 7 + dstack/Cargo.lock | 2 - dstack/Cargo.toml | 4 +- dstack/vendor/README.md | 42 ++ dstack/vendor/ktls/CHANGELOG.md | 110 +++++ dstack/vendor/ktls/Cargo.toml | 41 ++ dstack/vendor/ktls/LICENSE-APACHE | 201 +++++++++ dstack/vendor/ktls/LICENSE-MIT | 17 + dstack/vendor/ktls/README.md | 17 + dstack/vendor/ktls/src/async_read_ready.rs | 12 + dstack/vendor/ktls/src/cork_stream.rs | 214 ++++++++++ dstack/vendor/ktls/src/ffi.rs | 314 ++++++++++++++ dstack/vendor/ktls/src/ktls_stream.rs | 308 ++++++++++++++ dstack/vendor/ktls/src/lib.rs | 459 +++++++++++++++++++++ 14 files changed, 1745 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/README.md create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/CHANGELOG.md create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/Cargo.toml create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/LICENSE-APACHE create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/LICENSE-MIT create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/README.md create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/src/async_read_ready.rs create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/src/cork_stream.rs create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/src/ffi.rs create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/src/ktls_stream.rs create mode 100644 dstack/vendor/ktls/src/lib.rs diff --git a/REUSE.toml b/REUSE.toml index 16f7a6031..236f5b008 100644 --- a/REUSE.toml +++ b/REUSE.toml @@ -181,6 +181,13 @@ SPDX-FileCopyrightText = "NONE" SPDX-License-Identifier = "Apache-2.0" precedence = "override" +# ktls 6.0.2 plus rustls/ktls#70; see dstack/vendor/README.md. +[[annotations]] +path = "dstack/vendor/ktls/**" +SPDX-FileCopyrightText = "Copyright (c) 2022 Amos Wenger " +SPDX-License-Identifier = "MIT OR Apache-2.0" +precedence = "override" + # Generated files [[annotations]] diff --git a/dstack/Cargo.lock b/dstack/Cargo.lock index ddfe9dcee..1bbfd4d31 100644 --- a/dstack/Cargo.lock +++ b/dstack/Cargo.lock @@ -4041,8 +4041,6 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "ktls" version = "6.0.2" -source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index" -checksum = "e5b79b6ec9c9d56656298df28f92dbaf2e83816be6d12c5b896461087e52d701" dependencies = [ "futures-util", "ktls-sys", diff --git a/dstack/Cargo.toml b/dstack/Cargo.toml index b36ee0d26..947f73371 100644 --- a/dstack/Cargo.toml +++ b/dstack/Cargo.toml @@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ members = [ "crates/api-auth", "crates/build-info", "crates/mock-attestation", + "vendor/ktls", ] resolver = "2" @@ -141,7 +142,8 @@ tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3.20", features = ["env-filter"] } safe-write = "0.1.2" rustix = { version = "0.38", features = ["fs"] } nix = "0.29.0" -ktls = "6.0.2" +# Vendored: 6.0.2 does not build for musl.

Uses or_panic, the helper this crate already uses for the same situation, and says why in a comment. * PooledBufs::get: min().max() is a clamp; write it as one. * connect_multiple_hosts: the single-candidate fast path checked len() == 1 and then unwrapped next(). Take the first candidate up front and branch on whether any remain, which drops the unwrap and the second length check; the racing path now iterates once(first).chain(rest). * Timeouts::write: dead since the per-operation timers were replaced by the connection-level progress watchdog, which catches a stalled write through `idle` instead. The field is kept so existing configs -- and the CVM entrypoint's TIMEOUT_WRITE -- still parse, with a doc comment saying it no longer does anything. Whether that knob should be retired is a separate call from making CI green. The vendored ktls is a path dependency, so cargo does not cap its lints the way it would for a crates.io one; it carries a crate-level allow for the same two lints, since it is vendored to be patched minimally rather than rewritten. `cargo clippy -- -D warnings -D clippy::expect_used -D clippy::unwrap_used --allow unused_variables` is now clean across the workspace, `cargo fmt --check` passes, and the 43 gateway tests pass. Re-ran the acceleration verification after the change -- the passthrough fast path is on it -- and every arm reports identical counters to before. --- dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 7 +++++++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy/splice.rs | 9 ++++++--- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_passthough.rs | 11 ++++++++--- 3 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs index 5d8b5eec7..58807e151 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs +++ b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs @@ -424,6 +424,13 @@ pub struct Timeouts { pub data_timeout_enabled: bool, #[serde(with = "serde_duration")] pub idle: Duration, + /// No longer read.

Making vendor/ktls a member therefore enabled its `ring` feature alongside `aws_lc_rs`, which the crate declares mutually exclusive: error[E0252]: the name `cipher_suite` is defined multiple times error: The 'ring' and 'aws_lc_rs' features are mutually exclusive As a crates.io dependency its features came from the dependency declaration and nothing could turn `ring` on, so vendoring changed feature resolution rather than anything about the crate. Excluding it restores that: it stays a path dependency and still builds, but `--all-features` no longer reaches it. Dropping the `ring` feature from the vendored manifest would also compile, but the gateway exposes `tls_crypto_provider = "ring"` and ktls matches rustls' cipher suites against whichever provider it was built with, so that would quietly break kTLS for ring deployments. Verified with the commands CI actually runs, not the narrower ones I used the first time: `cargo check --all-features`, `cargo clippy -- -D warnings -D clippy::expect_used -D clippy::unwrap_used --allow unused_variables`, `cargo fmt --check --all`, `./run-tests.sh`, and the musl release build. --- dstack/Cargo.toml | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/dstack/Cargo.toml b/dstack/Cargo.toml index 947f73371..848809b03 100644 --- a/dstack/Cargo.toml +++ b/dstack/Cargo.toml @@ -70,8 +70,12 @@ members = [ "crates/api-auth", "crates/build-info", "crates/mock-attestation", - "vendor/ktls", ] +# Vendored third-party crates are path dependencies but deliberately not members: +# `--all-features` applies to members, and ktls declares its `ring` and +# `aws_lc_rs` features mutually exclusive, so membership makes +# `cargo test --all-features` fail to compile. +exclude = ["vendor/ktls"] resolver = "2" [workspace.dependencies] From 2a094449c233a59b9d19b910495ff789cf6a3d8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wang Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 21:07:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 35/49] fix(gateway): keep relaying after a half-close instead of dropping the reply Both gated relays treated one direction reaching EOF as the end of the connection, and the splice one also shut down the wrong half: if n == 0 { finish_one!(br, aw, bufs.b); } // macro: aw.shutdown(); then loop { br.read() -> aw.write_all() } `ar` reaching EOF means the *client* stopped sending. The EOF owes to the app, via `bw`. Shutting down `aw` instead tells the client the response is over and then writes the app's reply into the half just closed, so a client that ends its request with `shutdown(SHUT_WR)` gets a successful, empty response. Line 347 had the mirror image of it, losing a request instead of a reply. `adaptive_ktls::relay_until` had the same shape without the swap: the first EOF from either side broke straight to `Phase::Eof` and the caller dropped both sockets, so anything still in flight the other way went with them. Both now propagate the EOF to the peer of the direction that ended, drain the opposite direction, and only then close. Nothing changes once a connection is spliced or offloaded -- `splice_one` already half-closes correctly -- so this is confined to the pre-gate phase. Four tests, each of which fails without the change: response_survives_a_client_half_close_before_the_gate (splice, ktls) request_survives_a_backend_half_close_before_the_gate (splice) request_survives_an_app_half_close_before_the_gate (ktls) `relay_until` being generic over the client stream is what lets the kTLS ones run a plain socket in place of the TLS one and exercise the same logic without a handshake.

The handoff channel was unbounded. A core only receives connections while it is the least loaded, so in steady state it never backs up -- but if one stops draining, every other core keeps succeeding at `send`, and each handed-over connection then sits unserved until `timeouts.total` (5h by default) while its `CoreSlot` keeps that core looking busier than it is. The queue and the memory behind it only grow. It is now bounded at 1024 with `try_send`, so a full queue means "this core is not taking work" and the sender keeps the connection. Two failure paths also had comments claiming the opposite of the code: // Cannot deregister: keep it here rather than lose the connection. Err(_) => return None, `TcpStream::into_std` takes `self`, so on error the socket is already closed and `None` tells the caller it was handed away -- the connection is lost, not kept. `TcpStream::from_std(raw).ok()` did the same under "keep the connection rather than drop it". Neither is recoverable, so both now log what actually happened instead of describing a fallback that was never there. The paths that *are* recoverable -- a full or closed queue -- really do keep the connection now. Also: the slot for the target core is claimed after `into_std` succeeds rather than before, so the failure path no longer briefly accounts a connection to a core that will never see it, and `start_thread_per_core`'s comment no longer justifies ordered binding by the CBPF steering program that `reuseport`'s own docs say was abandoned. --- dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs | 12 ++--- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/balance.rs | 68 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 2 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs b/dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs index 646862200..328367e02 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs +++ b/dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs @@ -275,7 +275,7 @@ async fn accept_loop( rt: Option<&Runtime>, mut balance: Option<( balance::Balancer, - tokio::sync::mpsc::UnboundedReceiver, + tokio::sync::mpsc::Receiver, )>, ) -> Result<()> { if tcp_listeners.is_empty() { @@ -297,7 +297,7 @@ async fn accept_loop( }); // Also take connections other cores decided to give us. let accepted: std::io::Result<(TcpStream, std::net::SocketAddr)> = match balance.as_mut() { - Some((b, rx)) => { + Some((_, rx)) => { tokio::select! { r = accept_next => r, Some((raw, from, slot)) = rx.recv() => { @@ -309,7 +309,6 @@ async fn accept_loop( } Err(e) => error!("failed to adopt handed-over connection: {e}"), } - let _ = b; continue; } } @@ -500,8 +499,11 @@ fn probe_ktls() -> Result<()> { fn start_thread_per_core(config: ProxyConfig, app_state: Proxy) -> Result<()> { let workers = config.workers.max(1); // Bind every listener here, in order, rather than letting each thread bind - // its own: the reuseport steering program selects a socket by its position - // in the group, so the order has to be ours to control. + // its own.

Merely *configuring* a section disabled the idle timeout for that whole path. The only remaining bound was `timeouts.total`, five hours by default -- on exactly the long-lived streaming connections the gates exist to capture. The watchdog is now a shared `proxy::idle::IdleWatchdog` that all three relay shapes use: the buffered bridge and the two pre-gate relays poll it as one more `select!` arm, and a spliced connection -- which has no loop of its own, since its bytes never enter this process -- races it against the transfer. `splice_one` bumps a relaxed counter once per chunk, not per byte, which is nothing next to the splice syscall it accompanies. **close_notify.** `splice_one` ends a direction with a bare `shutdown(fd, SHUT_WR)`. On a kTLS socket that is a FIN with no TLS close, which is indistinguishable from a truncation attack to a client that checks: userspace rustls client saw: clean_eof kTLS + splice client saw: TRUNCATED (no close_notify) `KtlsStream::poll_shutdown` would have sent it, but the offload path takes the raw descriptor and never goes through that type again. The destination's close is now described by a `CloseKind`, and the kTLS side sends `close_notify` first. That needed a re-export in the vendored crate, which upstream keeps private because only `KtlsStream` uses it -- marked as a dstack patch like the other one. Verified: every arm above now reaps (`bridge error: idle timeout` in the log) and reports `clean_eof`, byte-for-byte identical payloads. `data_timeout_enabled = false` still opts out, and the accel counters and 100 MiB checksums are unchanged on both the glibc and musl builds. --- dstack/gateway/Cargo.toml | 3 + dstack/gateway/src/config.rs | 11 ++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy.rs | 1 + dstack/gateway/src/proxy/adaptive_ktls.rs | 62 +++++++--- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/idle.rs | 133 +++++++++++++++++++++ dstack/gateway/src/proxy/io_bridge.rs | 28 ++--- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/splice.rs | 99 +++++++++++++-- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_passthough.rs | 16 ++- dstack/gateway/src/proxy/tls_terminate.rs | 10 +- dstack/vendor/ktls/src/lib.rs | 4 + 10 files changed, 315 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dstack/gateway/src/proxy/idle.rs diff --git a/dstack/gateway/Cargo.toml b/dstack/gateway/Cargo.toml index 34ce64728..b4c05113c 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/Cargo.toml +++ b/dstack/gateway/Cargo.toml @@ -79,3 +79,6 @@ path = "src/gen_debug_key.rs" [dev-dependencies] insta.workspace = true tempfile.workspace = true +# `test-util` gives the idle-watchdog tests a paused clock, so they assert on +# the window without waiting for it in wall-clock time. +tokio = { workspace = true, features = ["test-util"] } diff --git a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs index c68fa31d1..94f37c8f2 100644 --- a/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs +++ b/dstack/gateway/src/config.rs @@ -246,6 +246,17 @@ pub struct ProxyConfig { pub port_policy_fetch: PortPolicyFetchConfig, } +impl ProxyConfig { + /// The idle window every relay enforces, or `None` when data timeouts are + /// off.

Nothing in CI ran a gateway process at all, which is how a response-dropping half-close, a silently disabled idle timeout and a missing close_notify all reached review. `test_proxy.sh` starts a real gateway and asserts on what reaches the wire, across every combination of the two gated optimisations and both proxy paths: data path payloads survive byte-for-byte, under and over each gate, single and concurrent close the app closing arrives as an orderly TLS shutdown, kTLS offload included timeouts.idle the watchdog reaps on buffered, spliced and kTLS relays, and `data_timeout_enabled = false` still opts out kTLS engagement offload happens, only once the gate fires, no decrypt errors fallbacks a kernel without the TLS ULP warns and serves untruncated; an inert connection_rebalance warns runtime modes every thread_per_core / connection_rebalance combination Status RPC the accel counters reflect the traffic that ran 48 assertions locally. Every capability it cannot get -- no TLS ULP, no privileges for `wg show` -- is reported as SKIP with the reason rather than quietly passing, since a test suite that reports success for work it did not do is worse than one that is missing. Three things the design had to get right, each learned by getting it wrong: * The gateway only needs *a link* with its configured wg interface name to start, not a working WireGuard device, so the suite falls back to a dummy link and runs the whole data path without the wireguard module. Only the Status RPC needs the real thing, and that group probes the RPC rather than guessing from the link kind -- it also needs root for `wg show`. * Restarting the gateway ~25 times races its own listeners, so teardown waits for the ports to come back. A preflight check refuses to start when they are already busy: a stale listener does not fail cleanly, it answers the probes with the wrong config and scatters unrelated assertion failures. * Half-close is *not* covered here. Every client of this gateway speaks TLS, and a TCP half-close mid-TLS is a truncation rather than an orderly one -- confirmed by pointing the same probe at the origin with no gateway in the path, where it fails identically. It stays a unit test, and the script says so. The workflow is path-filtered to the gateway and the vendored ktls, records the kernel's TLS and AES-GCM capabilities before running so a skipped group is visible in the log, and uploads the work dir on failure. --- .github/workflows/gateway-proxy-tests.yml | 78 ++++ dstack/gateway/test-run/.gitignore | 1 + dstack/gateway/test-run/TESTING.md | 33 ++ dstack/gateway/test-run/proxy/gwconfig.py | 105 ++++++ dstack/gateway/test-run/proxy/origin.py | 155 ++++++++ dstack/gateway/test-run/proxy/probe.py | 216 +++++++++++ dstack/gateway/test-run/test_proxy.sh | 432 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 1020 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .github/workflows/gateway-proxy-tests.yml create mode 100755 dstack/gateway/test-run/proxy/gwconfig.py create mode 100755 dstack/gateway/test-run/proxy/origin.py create mode 100755 dstack/gateway/test-run/proxy/probe.py create mode 100755 dstack/gateway/test-run/test_proxy.sh diff --git a/.github/workflows/gateway-proxy-tests.yml b/.github/workflows/gateway-proxy-tests.yml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a0e0b440c --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/workflows/gateway-proxy-tests.yml @@ -0,0 +1,78 @@ +# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: © 2026 Phala Network +# +# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 + +name: Gateway proxy tests + +# The gateway's proxy data path has two opt-in optimisations (`tcp_splice`, +# `ktls`) whose behaviour depends on kernel capabilities and on a per-connection +# gate.
