📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Port forwarding no longer manages NAT allocator leases. Masquerade pools reserve forwarding tuples by address and protocol. Masquerade flow replacement and removal use dedicated validation and invalidation logic. VPC route-table construction now validates before returning.

Changes

NAT tuple reservation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Port-forwarding lease removal nat/src/portfw/*, acl-filter/src/tests.rs, dataplane/src/packet_processor/mod.rs, nat/src/test.rs	PortForwarder no longer receives a NAT allocator. Port-forwarding flow state passes endpoints directly and no longer tracks leases or PublicTuple values.
Reserved-port allocator nat/src/masquerade/apalloc/{reserved.rs,port_alloc.rs,alloc.rs,mod.rs}	NAT allocation tracks per-address reserved ranges, excludes fully claimed blocks, and rejects claimed ports with AllocatorError::Denied.
Forwarding claims in pool setup nat/src/masquerade/apalloc/{setup.rs,test_alloc.rs,pool_fuzz.rs,concurrent_fuzz.rs}, nat/src/test.rs	Pool setup gathers TCP and UDP forwarding claims, unions claims across shared regions, and tests allocation and reservation exclusion.
Masquerade flow lifecycle nat/src/masquerade/{allocator_writer.rs,flows.rs}, flow-entry/src/flow_table/table.rs	Masquerade reconfiguration checks active NAT flows, preserves valid generations, and invalidates flows when masquerading is removed or unsupported. Flow-table documentation describes concurrent operations.

VPC route-table validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Route-table construction contract config/src/external/overlay/{vpc.rs,vpcrouting.rs}	VpcRouteTable::build validates the constructed table and returns Result<Self, ConfigError>. Vpc::validate uses the validated result directly.

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 25c9e

Decoupling port forwarding from masquerading can invalidate established port-forwarding flows because the current invalidation logic accepts every NAT state. This may disrupt active connections and should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Pull request overview

This PR decouples port-forwarding from masquerade’s runtime allocator interactions by moving “tuple ownership” enforcement into masquerade pool construction: tuples claimed by port-forwarding rules are withheld from masquerade allocation up front to prevent FlowKey collisions.

Changes:

• Remove NatAllocatorReader dependency from PortForwarder and delete the port-forward “lease” mechanism.
• Extend masquerade allocator setup to compute and apply per-protocol reserved (claimed) ports derived from port-forwarding exposes, and ensure claimed ports are never allocated or reservable.
• Update tests and documentation/comments to reflect the new collision-prevention strategy.

`PortFwState` is publicly re-exported (`nat::portfw::PortFwState`), so making `new_snat` `pub` expands the crate’s public API. If this constructor is only intended for internal flow setup, keep it `pub(crate)` to avoid committing to a stable external API surface.

When `FlowInfo::related_pair` fails, the current log line drops the underlying `FlowInfoError`, which makes diagnosing mis-flagged initiator flows or identical keys harder. Log the error (`{e}`) so failures are actionable in production traces.

This doc comment says check_masquerading_flows blocks flow insertion, but FlowTableReadGuard (updated in this PR) explicitly does not block insertion/removal—only write-lock operations like FlowTable::reshard. Please update the comment so callers don’t assume they’re protected from concurrent inserts.

/// Migrate active masquerading flows to a new allocator while blocking flow insertion.
/// Flows that are kept should get the ip/port allocated in the new allocator

`related_pair` no longer panics on identical keys (it returns `Err(FlowInfoError::InvalidPair(..))`), so `#[allow(clippy::missing_panics_doc)]` is now misleading. Dropping it keeps the lint state aligned with the actual contract.

#[allow(clippy::missing_panics_doc)]
#[allow(clippy::unwrap_used)]

762-811: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

contiguous_bits relies on a debug-only bound for the shift.

contiguous_bits guards end < 128 with debug_assert! only. In a release build, an end >= 128 argument would silently discard bits through ones << start instead of failing. The current callers keep end inside one half, so this is not reachable today.

Consider deriving the mask so the invariant holds by construction, which also removes the special case for a full half.

♻️ Suggested hardening of the mask construction

     /// Ones in `start..=end`, both offsets within one half.
     fn contiguous_bits(start: u8, end: u8) -> u128 {
         debug_assert!(start <= end && end < 128, "start: {start}, end: {end}");
-        let width = u32::from(end - start) + 1;
-        // A full half cannot be built by shifting: `1 << 128` overflows.
-        let ones = if width >= 128 {
-            u128::MAX
-        } else {
-            (1u128 << width) - 1
-        };
-        ones << start
+        // Build the mask by clearing from both ends, so no shift can exceed the width.
+        let high = u128::MAX >> (127 - u32::from(end.min(127)));
+        let low = u128::MAX << start;
+        high & low
     }

Looks good to me, thank you.

There's one thing I'd like to better understand regarding the 2nd commit (fix(masquerade): fix lookup of masquerading peering): does it fix an issue that is present in main, or does it fix the previous commit in the PR? If it's present in main, what was the impact?
