Now we only use the appctx flags everywhere in the code, and the uri_auth
flags are read only by the HTTP analyser which presets the appctx ones.
This will allow to simplify access to the flags everywhere.
We used to rely on some config flags defined in uri_auth.h set during
parsing, and another set of STAT_* flags defined in stats.h set at run
time, with a somewhat gray area between the two sets. This is confusing
in the stats code as both are called "flags" in various functions and
it's quite hard to know which one describes what.
This patch cleans this up by replacing all ST_* by a newly assigned
value from the STAT_* set so that we can now use unified flags to
describe both the configuration and the current state. There is no
functional change at all.
Both "show info" and "show stat" support the "typed" output format and
the "json" output format. I just never can remind them, which is an
indication that some help is missing.
A break is missing in the switch statement in the function
stats_emit_json_data_field(). This bug was introduced in the commit 88a0db28a
("MINOR: stats: Add the support of float fields in stats").
This patch fixes the issue #302 and #303. It must be backported to 2.0.
It is now possible to format stats counters as floats. But the stats applet does
not use it.
This patch is required by the Prometheus exporter to send the time averages in
seconds. If the promex change is backported, this patch must be backported
first.
Recently Lua code which uses Proxy class (get_stats method) stopped
working ("table index is nil from [C] method 'get_stats'")
It probably affects other codepaths too.
This should be backported do 2.0 and 1.9.
It is now possible to export stats using the JSON format from the HTTP stats
page. Like for the CSV export, to export stats in JSON, you must add the option
";json" on the stats URL. It is also possible to dump the JSON schema with the
option ";json-schema". Corresponding Links have been added on the HTML page.
This patch fixes the issue #263.
This adds two extra fields to the stats, one for the current number of idle
connections and one for the configured limit. A tooltip link now appears on
the HTML page to show these values in front of the active connection values.
This should be backported to 2.0 and 1.9 as it's the only way to monitor
the idle connections behaviour.
There were 221 places where a status message or an error message were built
to be returned on the CLI. All of them were replaced to use cli_err(),
cli_msg(), cli_dynerr() or cli_dynmsg() depending on what was expected.
This removed a lot of duplicated code because most of the times, 4 lines
are replaced by a single, safer one.
The part of the applet dealing with raw buffer was removed, for the HTTP part
only. So the old functions stats_send_http_headers() and
stats_send_http_redirect() were removed and replaced by the htx ones. The legacy
applet I/O handler was replaced by the htx one. And the parsing of POST data was
purged of the legacy HTTP code.
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.
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.
Applets must never rely on the first block position to consume an HTX
message. The head position must be used instead. For the request it is always
the start-line. At this stage, it is not a bug, because the first position of
the request is never changed by HTX analysers.
The first block is the start-line, if defined. Otherwise it the head of the HTX
message. So now, during HTTP analysis, lookup are all done using the first block
instead of the head. Concretely, for now, it is the same because only one HTTP
message is stored at a time in an HTX message. 1xx informational messages are
handled separatly from the final reponse and from each other. But it will make
sense when the 1xx informational messages and the associated final reponse will
be stored in the same HTX message.
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.
The stats page now reports the per-process output bit rate and applies
the usual conversions needed to turn the TCP payload rate to an Ethernet
bit rate in order to give a reasonably accurate estimate of how far from
interface saturation we are.
Many times we've been missing per-process traffic statistics. While it
didn't make sense in multi-process mode, with threads it does. Thus we
now have a counter of bytes emitted by raw_sock, and a freq counter for
these as well. However, freq_ctr are limited to 32 bits, and given that
loads of 300 Gbps have already been reached over a loopback using
splicing, we need to downscale this a bit. Here we're storing 1/32 of
the byte rate, which gives a theorical limit of 128 GB/s or ~1 Tbps,
which is more than enough. Let's have fun re-reading this sentence in
2029 :-) The values can be read in "show info" output on the CLI.
It's always a pain to have to stuff lots of #ifdef USE_OPENSSL around
ssl headers, it even results in some of them appearing in a random order
and multiple times just to benefit form an existing ifdef block. Let's
make these headers safe for inclusion when USE_OPENSSL is not defined,
they now perform the test themselves and do nothing if USE_OPENSSL is
not defined. This allows to remove no less than 8 such ifdef blocks
and make include blocks more readable.
The 'do-resolve' action is an http-request or tcp-request content action
which allows to run DNS resolution at run time in HAProxy.
The name to be resolved can be picked up in the request sent by the
client and the result of the resolution is stored in a variable.
The time the resolution is being performed, the request is on pause.
If the resolution can't provide a suitable result, then the variable
will be empty. It's up to the admin to take decisions based on this
statement (return 503 to prevent loops).
Read carefully the documentation concerning this feature, to ensure your
setup is secure and safe to be used in production.
This patch creates a global counter to track various errors reported by
the action 'do-resolve'.
On the client side, as far as possible, we will try to keep connection
alive. So, in most of cases, this header will be removed. So it is better to not
add it at all. If finally the connection must be closed, the header will be
added by the mux h1.
No need to backport this patch.
In the stats applet (in HTX and legacy HTTP), after a response is fully sent to
a client, the request is consumed. It is done at the end, after all the response
was copied into the channel's buffer. But only outgoing data at time the applet
is called are consumed. Then the applet is closed. If a request with a huge body
is sent, an error is triggerred because a SHUTW is catched for an unfinisehd
request.
Now, we consume request data until the end. In fact, we don't try to shutdown
the request's channel for write anymore.
This patch must be backported to 1.9 after some observation period. It should
probably be backported in prior versions too. But honnestly, with refactoring
on the connection layer and the stream interface in 1.9, it is probably safer
to not do so.
When the body length is greater than a chunk size (so if length of POST data
exceeds the buffer size), the requests is rejected with the status code
STAT_STATUS_EXCD. Otherwise the stats applet will wait to have all the data to
copy and parse them. But there is a problem when the total request size
(including the headers) is just lower than the buffer size but greater the
buffer size less the reserve. In such case, the body length is considered as
enough small to be processed but not entierly received. So the stats applet
waits for more data. But because outgoing data are still there, the channel's
buffer is considered as full and nothing more can be read, leading to a freeze
of the session.
Note this bug is pretty easy to reproduce with the legacy HTTP. It is harder
with the HTX but still possible. To fix the bug, in the stats applet, when the
request is not fully received, we check if at least the reserve remains
available the channel's buffer.
This patch must be backported as far as 1.5. But because the HTX does not exist
in 1.8 and lower, it will have to be adapted for these versions.
The status codes definition (STAT_STATUS_*) and their string representation
stat_status_codes) have been moved in stats files. There is no reason to keep
them in proto_http files.
This function will only increment the total amount of bytes read by a channel
because at this stage there is no fast forwarding. So the bug is pretty limited.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
It's pointless to always set and maintain l->maxconn because the accept
loop already enforces the frontend's limit anyway. Thus let's stop setting
this value by default and keep it to zero meaning "no limit". This way the
frontend's maxconn will be used by default. Of course if a value is set,
it will be enforced.
For HTX streams, the scope pointer is relative to the URI in the start-line. But
for streams using the legacy HTTP representation, the scope pointer is relative
to the beginning of output data in the channel's buffer. So we must be careful
to use the right one depending on the HTX is used or not.
Because the start-line is used to get de scope pointer, it is important to keep
it after the parsing of post paramters. So now, instead of removing blocks when
read in the function stats_process_http_post(), we just move on next, leaving it
in the HTX message.
Thanks to Pieter (PiBa-NL) to report this bug.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
As for the cache applet, this one must respect the reserve on HTX streams. This
patch is tagged as MINOR because it is unlikely to fully fill the channel's
buffer. Some tests are already done to not process almost full buffer.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
While testing fixes, it's sometimes confusing to rebuild only one C file
(e.g. a mux) and not to have the correct commit ID reported in "haproxy -v"
nor on the stats page.
This patch adds a new "version.c" file which is always rebuilt. It's
very small and contains only 3 variables derived from the various
version strings. These variables are used instead of the macros at the
few places showing the version. This way the output version of the
running code is always correct for the parts that were rebuilt.
This way we are sure the channel state is always correctly upadated, especially
the amount of data directly forwarded. For the stats applet, it is not a bug
because the fast forwarding is never used (the response is chunked and the HTX
extra field is always set to 0).
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
The tooltip in the HTML stats page was damaged by commit 1b0f85e47 ("MINOR:
stats: also report the failed header rewrites warnings on the stats page"),
due to the header rewrites counter being inserted at the wrong place and
taking the place of the other statuses.
This is only for 1.9, no backport is needed.
Sadly we didn't have the cumulated number of connections established to
servers till now, so let's now update it per backend and per-server and
report it in the stats. On the stats page it appears in the tooltip
when hovering over the total sessions count field.
All the HTX definition is self-contained and doesn't really depend on
anything external since it's a mostly protocol. In addition, some
external similar files (like h2) also placed in common used to rely
on it, making it a bit awkward.
This patch moves the two htx.h files into a single self-contained one.
The historical dependency on sample.h could be also removed since it
used to be there only for http_meth_t which is now in http.h.
Now, the function htx_from_buf() will set the buffer's length to its size
automatically. In return, the caller should call htx_to_buf() at the end to be
sure to leave the buffer hosting the HTX message in the right state. When the
caller can use the function htxbuf() to get the HTX message without any update
on the underlying buffer.
Instead, we now use the htx_sl coming from the HTX message. It avoids to have
too H1 specific code in version-agnostic parts. Of course, the concept of the
start-line is higly influenced by the H1, but the structure htx_sl can be
adapted, if necessary. And many things depend on a start-line during HTTP
analyzis. Using the structure htx_sl also avoid boring conversions between HTX
version and H1 version.
This switches explicit calls to various trivial registration methods for
keywords, muxes or protocols from constructors to INITCALL1 at stage
STG_REGISTER. All these calls have in common to consume a single pointer
and return void. Doing this removes 26 constructors. The following calls
were addressed :
- acl_register_keywords
- bind_register_keywords
- cfg_register_keywords
- cli_register_kw
- flt_register_keywords
- http_req_keywords_register
- http_res_keywords_register
- protocol_register
- register_mux_proto
- sample_register_convs
- sample_register_fetches
- srv_register_keywords
- tcp_req_conn_keywords_register
- tcp_req_cont_keywords_register
- tcp_req_sess_keywords_register
- tcp_res_cont_keywords_register
- flt_register_keywords
In some situations, especially when dealing with low latency on processors
supporting a variable frequency or when running inside virtual machines,
each time the process waits for an I/O using the poller, the processor
goes back to sleep or is offered to another VM for a long time, and it
causes excessively high latencies.
A solution to this provided by this patch is to enable busy polling using
a global option. When busy polling is enabled, the pollers never sleep and
loop over themselves waiting for an I/O event to happen or for a timeout
to occur. On multi-processor machines it can significantly overheat the
processor but it usually results in much lower latencies.
A typical test consisting in injecting traffic over a single connection at
a time over the loopback shows a bump from 4640 to 8540 connections per
second on forwarded connections, indicating a latency reduction of 98
microseconds for each connection, and a bump from 12500 to 21250 for
locally terminated connections (redirects), indicating a reduction of
33 microseconds.
It is only usable with epoll and kqueue because select() and poll()'s
API is not convenient for such usages, and the level of performance they
are used in doesn't benefit from this anyway.
The option, which obviously remains disabled by default, can be turned
on using "busy-polling" in the global section, and turned off later
using "no busy-polling". Its status is reported in "show info" to help
troubleshooting suspicious CPU spikes.
The request is eaten when the stats applet have finished to send its
response. It was removed from the channel's buffer, removing all HTX blocks till
the EOM. But the channel's output was not reset, leaving the request channel in
an undefined state.
Remaining calls to si_cant_put() were all for lack of room and were
turned to si_rx_room_blk(). A few places where SI_FL_RXBLK_ROOM was
cleared by hand were converted to si_rx_room_rdy().
The now unused si_cant_put() function was removed.
A number of calls to si_cant_put() were used in fact to request being
called back once a buffer is available. These ones are not needed anymore
since si_alloc_ibuf() already sets the SI_FL_RXBLK_BUFF flag when called
in appctx context. Those called with a foreign stream-int are simply turned
to si_rx_buff_blk().
This patch allows a process to properly quit when some jobs are still
active, this feature is handled by the unstoppable_jobs variable, which
must be atomically incremented.
During each new iteration of run_poll_loop() the break condition of the
loop is now (jobs - unstoppable_jobs) == 0.
The unique usage of this at the moment is to handle the socketpair CLI
of a the worker during the stopping of the process. During the soft
stop, we could mark the CLI listener as an unstoppable job and still
handle new connections till every other jobs are stopped.
It's easy to detect when logs on some paths are lost as sendmsg() will
return EAGAIN. This is particularly true when sending to /dev/log, which
often doesn't support a big logging capacity. Let's keep track of these
and report the total number of dropped messages in "show info".
It doesn't make sense to limit this code to applets, as any stream
interface can use it. Let's rename it by simply dropping the "applet_"
part of the name. No other change was made except updating the comments.
The active peers output indicates both the number of established peers
connections and the number of peers connection attempts. The new counter
"ConnectedPeers" also indicates the number of currently connected peers.
This helps detect that some peers cannot be reached for example. It's
worth mentioning that this value changes over time because unused peers
are often disconnected and reconnected. Most of the time it should be
equal to ActivePeers.
Peers are the last type of activity which can maintain a job present, so
it's important to report that such an entity is still active to explain
why the job count may be higher than zero. Here by "ActivePeers" we report
peers sessions, which include both established connections and outgoing
connection attempts.
When an haproxy process doesn't stop after a reload, it's because it
still has some active "jobs", which mainly are active sessions, listeners,
peers or other specific activities. Sometimes it's difficult to troubleshoot
the cause of these issues (which generally are the result of a bug) only
because some indicators are missing.
This patch add the number of listeners, the number of jobs, and the stopping
status to the output of "show info". This way it becomes a bit easier to try
to narrow down the cause of such an issue should it happen. A typical use
case is to connect to the CLI before reloading, then issuing the "show info"
command to see what happens. In the normal situation, stopping should equal
1, jobs should equal 1 (meaning only the CLI is still active) and listeners
should equal zero.
The patch is so trivial that it could make sense to backport it to 1.8 in
order to help with troubleshooting.
It's a bit painful to have to deal with HTTP semantics for each protocol
version (H1 and H2), and working on the version-agnostic code further
emphasizes the problem.
This patch creates http.h and http.c which are agnostic to the version
in use, and which borrow a few parts from proto_http and from h1. For
example the once thought h1-specific h1_char_classes array is in fact
dictated by RFC7231 and is used to parse HTTP headers. A few changes
were made to a few files which were including proto_http.h while they
only needed http.h.
Certain string definitions pre-dated the introduction of indirect
strings (ist) so some were used to simplify the definition of the known
HTTP methods. The current lookup code saves 2 kB of a heavily used table
and is faster than the previous table based lookup (typ. 14 ns vs 16
before).
The stats applet is still a bit hackish. It uses the HTTP txn to parse
the POST contents. Due to this it pretends not having parsed the request
from the buffer so that the HTTP parser continues to work fine on these
data. This comes with a side effect : the request lies pending in the
channel's buffer, and because of this, stream_int_update_applet() always
wakes the applet up. It's very visible when retrieving a large stats page
over a slow link as haproxy eats 100% of the CPU waiting for the data to
leave.
While the proper long term solution definitely is to consume these data
and parse the body from the applet, changing this is not suitable for a
fix.
What this patch does instead is to disable request polling as long as there
are pending data in the response buffer. Given that for almost all cases,
the applet remains busy sending data, this is at least enough to ensure
that we don't wake up for the pending request data while we're waiting for
the client to receive these data. Now a 5k backend stats page is dumped at
1% CPU over a 10 Mbps link instead of 100%, using 1500 epoll_wait() calls
instead of 80000.
Note that the previous fix (BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int: don't immediately
enable reading when the buffer was reportedly full) is necessary for the
effects of the fix to be noticed since both bugs have the exact same
effect.
This fix must be backported at least as far as 1.5.
Now all the code used to manipulate chunks uses a struct buffer instead.
The functions are still called "chunk*", and some of them will progressively
move to the generic buffer handling code as they are cleaned up.
Chunks are only a subset of a buffer (a non-wrapping version with no head
offset). Despite this we still carry a lot of duplicated code between
buffers and chunks. Replacing chunks with buffers would significantly
reduce the maintenance efforts. This first patch renames the chunk's
fields to match the name and types used by struct buffers, with the goal
of isolating the code changes from the declaration changes.
Most of the changes were made with spatch using this coccinelle script :
@rule_d1@
typedef chunk;
struct chunk chunk;
@@
- chunk.str
+ chunk.area
@rule_d2@
typedef chunk;
struct chunk chunk;
@@
- chunk.len
+ chunk.data
@rule_i1@
typedef chunk;
struct chunk *chunk;
@@
- chunk->str
+ chunk->area
@rule_i2@
typedef chunk;
struct chunk *chunk;
@@
- chunk->len
+ chunk->data
Some minor updates to 3 http functions had to be performed to take size_t
ints instead of ints in order to match the unsigned length here.
Now the buffers only contain the header and a pointer to the storage
area which can be anywhere. This will significantly simplify buffer
swapping and will make it possible to map chunks on buffers as well.
The buf_empty variable was removed, as now it's enough to have size==0
and area==NULL to designate the empty buffer (thus a non-allocated head
is the empty buffer by default). buf_wanted for now is indicated by
size==0 and area==(void *)1.
The channels and the checks now embed the buffer's head, and the only
pointer is to the storage area. This slightly increases the unallocated
buffer size (3 extra ints for the empty buffer) but considerably
simplifies dynamic buffer management. It will also later permit to
detach unused checks.
The way the struct buffer is arranged has proven quite efficient on a
number of tests, which makes sense given that size is always accessed
and often first, followed by the othe ones.
These ones concern the warnings detected during header addition/insertion.
They are visible in the tooltip reporting the per-status codes stats. The
frontend and backend contain a total of request+response warnings, while
server only has the response warnings.
This patch adds a warning if an http-(request|reponse) (add|set)-header
rewrite fails to change the respective header in a request or response.
This usually happens when tune.maxrewrite is not sufficient to hold all
the headers that should be added.
In order to use arbitrary data in the CLI (multiple lines or group of words
that must be considered as a whole, for example), it is now possible to add a
payload to the commands. To do so, the first line needs to end with a special
pattern: <<\n. Everything that follows will be left untouched by the CLI parser
and will be passed to the commands parsers.
Per-command support will need to be added to take advantage of this
feature.

A number of counters have been added at special places helping better
understanding certain bug reports. These counters are maintained per
thread and are shown using "show activity" on the CLI. The "clear
counters" commands also reset these counters. The output is sent as a
single write(), which currently produces up to about 7 kB of data for
64 threads. If more counters are added, it may be necessary to write
into multiple buffers, or to reset the counters.
To backport to 1.8 to help collect more detailed bug reports.
Rename the global variable "proxy" to "proxies_list".
There's been multiple proxies in haproxy for quite some time, and "proxy"
is a potential source of bugs, a number of functions have a "proxy" argument,
and some code used "proxy" when it really meant "px" or "curproxy". It worked
by pure luck, because it usually happened while parsing the config, and thus
"proxy" pointed to the currently parsed proxy, but we should probably not
rely on this.
[wt: some of these are definitely fixes that are worth backporting]
When the stats code was moved to an applet, it wasn't completely
cleaned of its usage of the HTTP transaction and it used to store
the HTTP status in txn->status and to set the HTTP request date to
<now> from within the applet. This is totally wrong because the
applet is seen as a server from the HTTP engine, which parses its
response, so the http_txn must not be touched there.
This was made visible by the cache which would always exhibit a
negative TR log, indicating that nowhere in the code we took care of
setting s->logs.tv_request while the code above used to continue to
hide this. Another side effect of this issue is that under load, if
the stats applet call risks to be delayed, the reported t_queue can
appear negative by being below tv_request-tv_accept.
This patch removes the assignment of tv_request and txn->status from
the applet code and instead sets the tv_request if still unset when
connecting to the applet. This ensures that all applets report correct
request timers now.
Fix regression introduced by commit:
'MAJOR: servers: propagate server status changes asynchronously.'
The building of the log line was re-worked to be done at the
postponed point without lack of data.
[wt: this only affects 1.8-dev, no backport needed]
For HTTP/2 we'll need some buffer-only equivalent functions to some of
the ones applying to channels and still squatting the bi_* / bo_*
namespace. Since these names have kept being misleading for quite some
time now and are really getting annoying, it's time to rename them. This
commit will use "ci/co" as the prefix (for "channel in", "channel out")
instead of "bi/bo". The following ones were renamed :
bi_getblk_nc, bi_getline_nc, bi_putblk, bi_putchr,
bo_getblk, bo_getblk_nc, bo_getline, bo_getline_nc, bo_inject,
bi_putchk, bi_putstr, bo_getchr, bo_skip, bi_swpbuf
Clear MaxSslRate, SslFrontendMaxKeyRate and SslBackendMaxKeyRate when
clear counters is used, it was probably forgotten when those counters were
added.

Since everything is self contained in proto_uxst.c there's no need to
export anything. The same should be done for proto_tcp.c but the file
contains other stuff that's not related to the TCP protocol itself
and which should first be moved somewhere else.
The server state and weight was reworked to handle
"pending" values updated by checks/CLI/LUA/agent.
These values are commited to be propagated to the
LB stack.
In further dev related to multi-thread, the commit
will be handled into a sync point.
Pending values are named using the prefix 'next_'
Current values used by the LB stack are named 'cur_'
The current level variable use only 2 bits for storing the 3 access

This patch add a bitmask which allows to use the remaining bits for
other usage.
Commit 05ee213 ("MEDIUM: stats: Add JSON output option to show (info|stat)")
used to pass argument "uri" to the aforementionned function which doesn't
take any. It's probably a leftover from multiple iterations of the same
patchset. Spotted by Dmitry Sivachenko. No backport is needed.
This may be used to output the JSON schema which describes the output of
show info json and show stats json.
The JSON output is without any extra whitespace in order to reduce the
volume of output. For human consumption passing the output through a
pretty printer may be helpful.
e.g.:
$ echo "show schema json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio | \
python -m json.tool
The implementation does not generate the schema. Some consideration could
be given to integrating the output of the schema with the output of
typed and json info and stats. In particular the types (u32, s64, etc...)
and tags.
A sample verification of show info json and show stats json using
the schema is as follows. It uses the jsonschema python module:
cat > jschema.py << __EOF__
import json
from jsonschema import validate
from jsonschema.validators import Draft3Validator
with open('schema.txt', 'r') as f:
schema = json.load(f)
Draft3Validator.check_schema(schema)
with open('instance.txt', 'r') as f:
instance = json.load(f)
validate(instance, schema, Draft3Validator)
__EOF__
$ echo "show schema json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio > schema.txt
$ echo "show info json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio > instance.txt

$ echo "show stats json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio > instance.txt

Add a json parameter to show (info|stat) which will output information
in JSON format. A follow-up patch will add a JSON schema which describes
the format of the JSON output of these commands.

STAT_STARTED has bee added in order to track if show output has begun or
not. This is used in order to allow the JSON output routines to only insert
a "," between elements when needed. I would value any feedback on how this
might be done better.

Keeping the address and the port in the same field causes a lot of problems,
specifically on the DNS part where we're forced to cheat on the family to be
able to keep the port. This causes some issues such as some families not being
resolvable anymore.
This patch first moves the service port to a new field "svc_port" so that the
port field is never used anymore in the "addr" field (struct sockaddr_storage).
All call places were adapted (there aren't that many).
"scur" was typed as "limit" (FO_CONFIG) and "config value" (FN_LIMIT).
The real types of "scur" are "metric" (FO_METRIC) and "gauge"
(FN_GAUGE). FO_METRIC and FN_GAUGE are the value 0.
This is a leftover from the cleanup campaign, the stats scope was still
initialized by the CLI instead of being initialized by the stats keyword
parsers. This should probably be backported to 1.7 to make the code more
consistent.
When an entity tries to get a buffer, if it cannot be allocted, for example
because the number of buffers which may be allocated per process is limited,
this entity is added in a list (called <buffer_wq>) and wait for an available
buffer.
Historically, the <buffer_wq> list was logically attached to streams because it
were the only entities likely to be added in it. Now, applets can also be
waiting for a free buffer. And with filters, we could imagine to have more other
entities waiting for a buffer. So it make sense to have a generic list.
Anyway, with the current design there is a bug. When an applet failed to get a
buffer, it will wait. But we add the stream attached to the applet in
<buffer_wq>, instead of the applet itself. So when a buffer is available, we
wake up the stream and not the waiting applet. So, it is possible to have
waiting applets and never awakened.
So, now, <buffer_wq> is independant from streams. And we really add the waiting
entity in <buffer_wq>. To be generic, the entity is responsible to define the
callback used to awaken it.
In addition, applets will still request an input buffer when they become
active. But they will not be sleeped anymore if no buffer are available. So this
is the responsibility to the applet I/O handler to check if this buffer is
allocated or not. This way, an applet can decide if this buffer is required or
not and can do additional processing if not.
[wt: backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
<run_queue> is used to track the number of task in the run queue and
<run_queue_cur> is a copy used for the reporting purpose. These counters has
been renamed, respectively, <tasks_run_queue> and <tasks_run_queue_cur>. So the
naming is consistent between tasks and applets.
[wt: needed for next fixes, backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
We used to have 3 types of counters with a huge overlap :
- listener counters : stats collected for each bind line
- proxy counters : union of the frontend and backend counters
- server counters : stats collected per server
It happens that quite a good part was common between listeners and
proxies due to the frontend counters being updated at the two locations,
and that similarly the server and proxy counters were overlapping and
being updated together.
This patch cleans this up to propose only two types of counters :
- fe_counters: used by frontends and listeners, related to
incoming connections activity
- be_counters: used by backends and servers, related to outgoing
connections activity
This allowed to remove some non-sensical counters from both parts. For
frontends, the following entries were removed :
cum_lbconn, last_sess, nbpend_max, failed_conns, failed_resp,
retries, redispatches, q_time, c_time, d_time, t_time
For backends, this ones was removed : intercepted_req.
While doing this it was discovered that we used to incorrectly report
intercepted_req for backends in the HTML stats, which was always zero
since it's never updated.
Also it revealed a few inconsistencies (which were not fixed as they
are harmless). For example, backends count connections (cum_conn)
instead of sessions while servers count sessions and not connections.
Over the long term, some extra cleanups may be performed by having
some counters update functions touching both the server and backend
at the same time, as well as both the frontend and listener, to
ensure that all sides have all their stats properly filled. The stats
dump will also be able to factor the dump functions by counter types.
Move the "show info" command to stats.c using the CLI keyword API
to register it on the CLI. The stats_dump_info_to_buffer() function
is now static again. Note, we don't need proto_ssl anymore in cli.c.
Move the "show stat" command to stats.c using the CLI keyword API
to register it on the CLI. The stats_dump_stat_to_buffer() function
is now static again.
proto/dumpstats.h has been split in 4 files:
* proto/cli.h contains protypes for the CLI
* proto/stats.h contains prototypes for the stats
* types/cli.h contains definition for the CLI
* types/stats.h contains definition for the stats
