This change refactors the drop notify tests to be version-aware. This is a preparatory step to allow for the introduction of new fields to the `DropNotify` struct in a backward-compatible manner. The tests are updated to: - Define separate test cases for different versions of the `DropNotify` struct. Signed-off-by: Ben Bigdelle <[email protected]>
This change extends the `DropNotify` struct to include the IP trace ID. The following changes are included: - The `DropNotify` struct in the control plane is updated to include the `IPTraceID` field. - The BPF code is updated to check to see if there is a stored trace ID in the BPF map and, if so, populating it. - The `cilium-monitor` output is updated to display the IP trace ID when present in a drop notify message. Signed-off-by: Ben Bigdelle <[email protected]>
This change extends the `TraceNotify` struct to include the IP trace. The following changes are included: - The `TraceNotify` struct in the control plane is updated to include the `IPTraceID` field. - At the creation of a TraceNotify event, check to see if IP trace is stored in the BPF map and populate it in the message if so. - The `cilium-monitor` output is updated to display the IP trace ID when present in a trace notify message. Signed-off-by: Ben Bigdelle <[email protected]>
This change introduces the IPTraceID field to the Hubble protobuf. This allows IP-based tracing information to be propagated and associated with flows observed by Hubble. The following changes are included: - A new `IPTraceID` message type is defined in `flow.proto`, containing the trace ID and the IP option type. - The Hubble parser is updated to decode the IP trace ID from monitor events (both drop and trace notifications) and populate the `ip_trace_id` field in the resulting `Flow` message. - The Hubble printer is updated to display the IP trace ID in the output. Signed-off-by: Ben Bigdelle <[email protected]>
This change introduces the ability to filter Hubble flows by IP trace ID directly from the Hubble CLI. The following changes are included: - A new `--ip-trace-id` flag is added to the `hubble observe` command, which can be specified multiple times to filter for multiple trace IDs. - A new `IPTraceIDFilter` is implemented to perform the filtering logic based onthe provided trace IDs. - The `IPTraceIDFilter` is added to the list of default filters. - The help text for the `hubble observe` command is updated to include the new flag.

@Bigdelle Congrats on your first pull request in Cilium! Not starting with an easy one 😅 |
|
This is causing flakes in CI: The BPF loader in Cilium is trying to pin the map in parallel, causing the first load to succeed and others to fail. A map must either not be marked as I know there's no way to discover this when you're new to the code base. We are trying to figure out how to avoid or enforce this. |
Thank you for letting me know about this! I'll work on this and update to avoid this issue coming up. |
Hi Jussi, I drafted a solution and have it open as a draft PR right now (#41886). Please feel free to take a look and leave comments. Thank you, again, for bringing this to our attention! |
@joamaki No strong objections to just calling OpenAndCreate() on startup with something similar to the PR Ben opened. For the sake of argument though, I wonder if there's anything wrong with teaching the loader to ignore EEXISTS errors on map pins or more gracefully handle it? If the intent is to ensure a map exists at a desired pin path and another load operation beats the current one to the punch, that seems OK actually provided that the map at that pin path matches the desired spec from the operation that received the error. Maybe we could do something like this to avoid introducing startup cruft just to prevent races? (pseudocode) |

This PR addresses this design CFP.
This change introduces packet tracing via trace IDs embedded in IP options, observable via
cilium monitorandhubbleSummary
The design CFP is the ultimate resource for understanding this feature, but the following summary should provide context in a more succint way.
This pull request adds a packet tracing feature using a configurable IPv4 option.
The feature allows a trace ID to be embedded within a custom IPv4 option. When a packet containing this option is processed by Cilium, the trace ID is extracted and propagated into monitor events and Hubble flows. This enables the precise tracking of a specific packet's path and outcome, which is useful for debugging policy and connectivity issues.
Implementation Details
The implementation consists of three main parts:
