mio/src/sys/unix/net.rs

Lines 78 to 85 in 27fbd5f

SocketAddr::V4(ref addr) => (
addr as *const _ as *const libc::sockaddr,
size_of_val(addr) as libc::socklen_t,
),
SocketAddr::V6(ref addr) => (
addr as *const _ as *const libc::sockaddr,
size_of_val(addr) as libc::socklen_t,
),

As far as I can tell there are no guarantees from std about the layout of SocketAddrV{4,6}, and this code could silently compile and cause UB elsewhere if the representation changes (e.g. if padding is added early on in the struct, resulting in C code reading uninitialized bytes).

This is true, but as far as I known there (currently) is no other way to do this. I'm open to suggestions.

I think socket2 has a similar problem: https://github.com/rust-lang/socket2-rs/blob/b0f77842b3357dd571bb86b30b354bc55215f693/src/sockaddr.rs#L95-L115

Maybe we can add an assertion size_of_val(addr) == size_of(sockaddr_in), it doesn't solve the problem but at least it won't compile (and cause UB).

It'll help slightly, but doesn't guarantee no UB.

Fixing socket2 seems easier since it only ever copies values around, something like https://gist.github.com/Nemo157/00787cd835f73bbf90b12cbf71122844 should work (EDIT: I'm not sure about the endianness in that patch, tests pass, but maybe it's using the wrong port number 😁). Fixing mio would take more rearranging since it's not possible to go &SocketAddr -> *const sockaddr soundly.

Implement network primitives with ideal Rust layout, not C system layout

This PR is the result of this internals forum thread: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/why-are-socketaddrv4-socketaddrv6-based-on-low-level-sockaddr-in-6/13321.

Instead of basing `std:::net::{Ipv4Addr, Ipv6Addr, SocketAddrV4, SocketAddrV6}` on system (C) structs, they are encoded in a more optimal and idiomatic Rust way.

This changes the public API of std by introducing structural equality impls for all four types here, which means that `match ipv4addr { SOME_CONSTANT => ... }` will now compile, whereas previously this was an error. No other intentional changes are introduced to public API.

It's possible to observe the current layout of these types (e.g., by pointer casting); most but not all libraries which were found by Crater to do this have had updates issued and affected versions yanked. See report below.

### Benefits of this change

- It will become possible to move these fundamental network types from `std` into `core` ([RFC](rust-lang/rfcs#2832)).
- Some methods that can't be made `const fn`s today can be made `const fn`s with this change.
- `SocketAddrV4` only occupies 6 bytes instead of 16 bytes.
- These simple primitives become easier to read and uses less `unsafe`.
- Makes these types support structural equality, which means you can now (for instance) match an `Ipv4Addr` against a constant

### ~Remaining~ Previous problems

This change obviously changes the memory layout of the types. And it turns out some libraries invalidly assumes the memory layout and does very dangerous pointer casts to convert them. These libraries will have undefined behaviour and perform invalid memory access until patched.

#### Fixed crate versions

All crates I have found that assumed the memory layout have been fixed and published. The crates and versions that will continue working even as/if this PR is merged is (please upgrade these to help unblock this PR):

* `net2 0.2.36`
* `socket2 0.3.16`
* `miow 0.2.2`
* `miow 0.3.6`
* `mio 0.7.6`
* `mio 0.6.23` - Never had the invalid assumption itself, but has now been bumped to only allow fixed dependencies (`net2` + `miow`)
* `nb-connect 1.0.3`
* `quinn 0.5.4`
* `quinn 0.6.2`

### Release notes draft

This release changes the memory layout of `Ipv4Addr`, `Ipv6Addr`, `SocketAddrV4` and `SocketAddrV6`. The standard library no longer implements these as the corresponding `libc` structs (`sockaddr_in`, `sockaddr_in6` etc.). This internal representation was never exposed, but some crates relied on it anyway by unsafely transmuting. This change will cause those crates to make invalid memory accesses. Notably `net2 <0.2.36`, `socket2 <0.3.16`, `mio <0.7.6`, `miow <0.3.6` and a few other crates are affected. All known affected crates have been patched and have had fixed versions published over a year ago. If any affected crate is still in your dependency tree, you need to upgrade them before using this version of Rust.
