Now that the various handshakes come with their own XPRT, there's no
need for the CONN_FL_SOCK* flags, and the conn_sock_want|stop functions,
so garbage-collect them.
Add a new XPRT that is used when using non-SSL handshakes, such as proxy
protocol or Netscaler, instead of taking care of it in conn_fd_handler().
This XPRT is installed when any of those is used, and it removes itself once
the handshake is done.
This should allow us to remove the distinction between CO_FL_SOCK* and
CO_FL_XPRT*.
Add a new method to xprt_ops, remove_xprt. When called, if the provided
xprt_ctx is the same as the xprt's underlying xprt_ctx, it then uses the
new xprt provided, otherwise it calls the remove_xprt method of the next
xprt.
The goal is to be able to add a temporary xprt, that removes itself from
the chain when it did what it had to do. This will be used to implement
a pseudo-xprt for anything that just requires a handshake (such as the
proxy protocol).
As the SSL code may have different needs than the upper layer, ie it may want
to receive when the upper layer wants to right, instead of directly forwarding
the subscribe to the underlying xprt, handle it ourself. The SSL code will
know remember any subscribe call, and wake the tasklet when it is ready
for more I/O.
This type of blocks is useless because transition between data and trailers is
obvious. And when there is no trailers, the end-of-message is still there to
know when data end for chunked messages.
HTTP trailers are now parsed in the same way headers are. It means trailers are
converted to K/V blocks followed by an end-of-trailer marker. For now, to make
things simple, the type for trailer blocks are not the same than for header
blocks. But the aim is to make no difference between headers and trailers by
using the same type. Probably for the end-of marker too.
It was only done for the headers (including the EOH marker). data were prefixed
by the info field of these blocks. The payload and the trailers of the messages
were stored in raw. The total size of headers and payload were kept in the
cached object state to help output formatting.
Now, info about each HTX block is store in the cache. Only data are allowed to
be splitted. Otherwise, all blocks of an HTX message are handled the same way,
both when storing a message in the cache and when delivering it from the
cache. This will help the cache implementation to be more robust to internal
changes in the HTX. Especially for the upcoming parsing of trailers. There is
also no more need to keep extra info in the cached object state.
In channel_htx_forward() and channel_htx_forward_forever(), if the HTX message
is empty, the underlying buffer may be really empty too. And we have no warranty
the caller will call htx_to_buf() later. And in practice, it is almost never
done. So the channel's buffer must not be altered. Otherwise, the buffer may be
considered as full (data == size) for an empty HTX message and no outgoing data.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
Make usage of the APIs implemented for dictionaries (dict.c) and their LRU caches (struct dcache)
so that to send/receive server names used for the server by name stickiness. These
names are sent over the network as follows:
- in every case we send the encode length of the data (STD_T_DICT), then
- if the server names is not present in the cache used upon transmission (struct dcache_tx)
we cache it and we the ID of this TX cache entry followed the encode length of the
server name, and finally the sever name itseft (non NULL terminated string).
- if the server name is present, we repead these operations but we only send the TX cache
entry ID.
Upon receipt, the couple of (cache IDs, server name) are stored the LRU cache used
only upon receipt (struct dcache_rx). As the peers protocol is symetrical, the fact
that the server name is present in the received data (resp. or not) denotes if
the entry is absent (resp. or not).
This simple patch only adds definitions to create a new stick-table
data type ID and a new standard type to store information in relation
wich dictionary entries (STD_T_DICT).
We want to send some stick-table data fields stored as strings in dictionaries
without consuming too much memory and CPU. To do so we implement with this patch
a cache for send/received dictionaries entries. These dictionary of strings entries are
stored in others real dictionary entries with an identifier as key (unsigned int)
and a pointer to the dictionary of strings entries as values.
This patch adds minimalistic definitions to implement dictionary new data structure
which is an ebtree of ebpt_node structs with strings as keys. Note that this has nothing
to see with real dictionary data structure (maps of keys in association with values).
As reported in GH issue #99, when hard-stop-after triggers and threads
are in use, the chance that any thread releases the resources in use by
the other ones is non-null. Thus no thread should be allowed to deinit()
nor exit by itself.
Here we take a different approach. We simply use a 3rd possible value
for the "killed" variable so that all threads know they must break out
of the run-poll-loop and immediately stop.
This patch was tested by commenting the stream_shutdown() calls in
hard_stop() to increase the chances to see a stream use released
resources. With this fix applied, it never crashes anymore.
This fix should be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
Have "socks4" and "check-via-socks4" server keyword added.
Implement handshake with SOCKS4 proxy server for tcp stream connection.
See issue #82.
I have the "SOCKS: A protocol for TCP proxy across firewalls" doc found
at "https://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4.protocol". Please reference to it.
[wt: for now connecting to the SOCKS4 proxy over unix sockets is not
supported, and mixing IPv4/IPv6 is discouraged; indeed, the control
layer is unique for a connection and will be used both for connecting
and for target address manipulation. As such it may for example report
incorrect destination addresses in logs if the proxy is reached over
IPv6]
Remove the active_tasks_mask variable, we can deduce if we've work to do
by other means, and it is costly to maintain. Instead, introduce a new
function, thread_has_tasks(), that returns non-zero if there's tasks
scheduled for the thread, zero otherwise.
Add session flags, and add a new flag, SESS_FL_PREFER_LAST, to be set when
we use NTLM authentication, and we should reuse the last connection. This
should fix using NTLM with HTX. This totally replaces TX_PREFER_LAST.
This should be backported to 1.9.
In lock profiles it's visible that there is a huge contention on the
buffer lock. The reason is that when offer_buffers() is called, it
systematically takes the lock before verifying if there is any
waiter. However doing so doesn't protect against races since a
waiter can happen just after we release the lock as well. Similarly
in h2 we take the lock every time an h2c is going to be released,
even without checking that the h2c belongs to a wait list. These
two have now been addressed by verifying non-emptiness of the list
prior to taking the lock.
Haproxy is designed to be able to continue to run even under very low
memory conditions. However this can sometimes have a serious impact on
performance that it hard to diagnose. Let's report counters of failed
pool and buffer allocations per thread in show activity.
We have been abusing the do_poll()'s timeout for a while, making it zero
whenever there is some known activity. The problem this poses is that it
complicates activity diagnostic by incrementing the poll_exp field for
each known activity. It also requires extra computations that could be
avoided.
This change passes a "wake" argument to say that the poller must not
sleep. This simplifies the operations and allows one to differenciate
expirations from activity.
In order to later allow htx_add_data() to transmit partial blocks and
avoid defragmenting the buffer, we'll need to return the number of bytes
consumed. This first modification makes the function do this and its
callers take this into account. At the moment the function still works
atomically so it returns either the block size or zero. However all
call places have been adapted to consider any value between zero and
the block size.
The functions channel_htx_fwd_payload() and channel_htx_fwd_all() should now be
used to forward, respectively, a part of the HTX payload or all of it. These
functions forward data and update the first block position.
We don't store the start-line position anymore in the HTX message. Instead we
store the first block position to analyze. For now, it is almost the same. But
once all changes will be made on this part, this position will have to be used
by HTX analyzers, and only in the analysis context, to know where the analyse
should start.
When new blocks are added in an HTX message, if the first block position is not
defined, it is set. When the block pointed by it is removed, it is set to the
block following it. -1 remains the value to unset the position. the first block
position is unset when the HTX message is empty. It may also be unset on a
non-empty message, meaning every blocks were already analyzed.
From HTX analyzers point of view, this position is always set during headers
analysis. When they are waiting for a request or a response, if it is unset, it
means the analysis should wait. But once the analysis is started, and as long as
headers are not forwarded, it points to the message start-line.
As mentionned, outside the HTX analysis, no code must rely on the first block
position. So multiplexers and applets must always use the head position to start
a loop on an HTX message.
The function channel_htx_fwd_headers() should now be used by HTX analyzers to
forward all headers of an HTX message, from the start-line to the corresponding
EOH. It takes care to update the star-line position.
The field hdrs_bytes has been added in the structure htx_sl. It should be used
to set how many bytes are help by all headers, from the start-line to the
corresponding EOH block. it must be set to -1 if it is unknown.
This functions should be used to get the maximum size for a block, not exceeding
the max amount of bytes passed in argument. Thus max may be set to -1 to have no
limit.
When channel_recv_max() is called for an HTX stream, we fall back on the HTX
version. This function is called from si_cs_recv(). This will let us pass the
max amount of bytes to read to HTX multiplexers.
Now, we only return the start-line. If not found, NULL is returned. No lookup is
performed and the HTX message is no more updated. It is now the caller
responsibility to update the position of the start-line to the right value. So
when it is not found, i.e sl_pos is set to -1, it means the last start-line has
been already processed and the next one has not been inserted yet.
It is mandatory to rely on this kind of warranty to store 1xx informational
responses and final reponse in the same HTX message.
It is the first block relatively to the start-line. So it is the start-line if
its position is set (sl_pos != -1), otherwise it is the head. The functions
htx_get_first() and htx_get_first_blk() can be used to get it. This change is
mandatory to consider 1xx informational messages as part of a response.
The head of an HTX message is heavily used whereas the wrap position is only
used when a block is added or removed. So it is more logical to store the head
position in the HTX message instead of the wrap one. The wrap position can be
easily deduced. To get it, the new function htx_get_wrap() may be used.
On armv7 haproxy doesn't work because of the fixes on the double-word
CAS. There are two issues. The first one is that the last argument in
case of dwcas is a pointer to the set of value and not a value ; the
second is that it's not enough to cast the data as (void*) since it will
be a single word. Let's fix this by using the pointers as an array of
long. This was tested on i386, armv7, x86_64 and aarch64 and it is now
fine. An alternate approach using a struct was attempted as well but it
used to produce less optimal code.
This fix must be backported to 1.9. This fixes github issue #105.

The unused fd_del and fd_skip were being abused during debugging sessions
as general purpose event counters. With their removal, let's officially
have dedicated counters for such use cases. These counters are called
"ctr0".."ctr2" and are listed at the end when DEBUG_DEV is set.
The purpose is to manipulate rings made of series of buffers so that
it is possible to continue to work on a next buffer once one is full.
This will be used by muxes to deal with contention between multiple
streams and a single output buffer. No data is expected to span over
multiple buffers, all of them will be used like a regular buffer. This
will significantly limit the amount of changes and the code complexity
while still supporting larger output buffering.
The ring is made of a head and a tail indexes both of which point to a
buffer descriptor. At least one descriptor is always valid, so it could
be seen as a form of pagination always presenting one buffer. The root
of the ring is itself stored into a buffer descriptor so that the user
only has to declare a buffer array and to call br_init() on it in order
to use it.
It has not been used for many years, is unlikely to be reused and
conflicts with the similarly named macro in flt_trace, causing warnings
at build time when including debug.h in low-level files. Let's simply
remove it.
