Pr/fredi/masq allocation logs - #1716
Conversation
Log anytime we fail to masquerade a flow due to an ip/port allocation failure. Signed-off-by: Fredi Raspall <fredi@githedgehog.com>
Packets with protocols that should not be masqueraded should not get to request an allocation from the allocator. In other words, "unsupported protocol" should not be an error reported by a port allocator. Move the check from the allocator to the masquerade NF, as it allows treating allocation errors as such.

Pull request overview
This PR adjusts NAT masquerade allocation behavior to improve observability around allocation failures, and introduces an explicit “supported protocol” gate in the masquerade network function.
Changes:
- Add warning-level logging when IP/port allocation fails during masquerade session creation.
- Add a protocol allowlist check in the masquerade NF and map it to
NatUnsupportedProto. - Remove the allocator-side protocol check in
allocate_from_tables(leaving a TODO) and annotateUnsupportedProtocolwith a FIXME in the allocator error type.

433-437: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 TrivialProtect the packet path from log amplification.
Allocation failure can occur once per packet when a pool is exhausted. This warning can then emit one record per packet. Use a rate-limited warning or a counter/metric for repeated failures.

Classify the protocol before building FlowKey.
FlowKey::try_from accepts only TCP, UDP, and ICMP transports. For other IP protocols, it returns FlowKeyError, so the packet is marked DoneReason::Malformed before can_be_masqueraded can return UnsupportedProtocol. Use packet.ip_proto() before FlowKey::try_from to preserve the NatUnsupportedProto result.

I don't love increasing the global reasoning (we REALLY need to stop doing that). That said, we don't have a lot of latitude to say no in this case, so I'll approve.
