The STREAM data to send coming from the upper layer must be stored until
having being acked by the peer. To do so, we store them in buffer structs,
one by stream (see qcs.tx.buf). Each time a STREAM is built by quic_push_frame(),
its offset must match the offset of the first byte added to the buffer (modulo
the size of the buffer) by the frame. As they are not always acknowledged in
order, they may be stored in eb_trees ordered by their offset to be sure
to sequentially delete the STREAM data from their buffer, in the order they
have been added to it.
The peer transport parameter values were not initialized with
the default ones (when absent), especially the
"active_connection_id_limit" parameter with 2 as default value
when absent from received remote transport parameters. This
had as side effect to send too much NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames.
This was the case for curl which does not announce any
"active_connection_id_limit" parameter.
Also rename ->idle_timeout to ->max_idle_timeout to reflect the RFC9000.
These salts are used to derive initial secrets to decrypt the first Initial packet.
We support draft-29 and v1 QUIC version initial salts.
Add parameters to our QUIC-TLS API functions used to derive these secret for
these salts.
Make our xprt_quic use the correct initial salt upon QUIC version field found in
the first paquet. Useful to support connections with curl which use draft-29
QUIC version.
Move the "ACK required" bit from the packet number space to the connection level.
Force the "ACK required" option when acknowlegding Handshake or Initial packet.
A client may send three packets with a different encryption level for each. So,
this patch modifies qc_treat_rx_pkts() to consider two encryption level passed
as parameters, in place of only one.
Make qc_conn_io_cb() restart its process after the handshake has succeeded
so that to process any Application level packets which have already been received
in the same datagram as the last CRYPTO frames in Handshake packets.
We must take as most as possible data from STREAM frames to be encapsulated
in QUIC packets, almost as this is done for CRYPTO frames whose fields are
variable length fields. The difference is that STREAM frames are only accepted
for short packets without any "Length" field. So it is sufficient to call
max_available_room() for that in place of max_stream_data_size() as this
is done for CRYPTO data.
It is possible the TLS stack stack provides us with 1-RTT TX secrets
at the same time as Handshake secrets are provided. Thanks to this
simple patch we can build Application level packets during the handshake.
Make qc_prep_hdshk_pkts() and qui_conn_io_cb() handle the case
where we enter them with QUIC_HS_ST_COMPLETE or QUIC_HS_ST_CONFIRMED
as connection state with QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_APP and QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_NONE
to consider to prepare packets.
quic_get_tls_enc_levels() is modified to return QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_APP
and QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_NONE as levels to consider when coalescing
packets in the same datagram.
With very few packets received by the listener, it is possible
that its state may move from QUIC_HS_ST_SERVER_INITIAL to
QUIC_HS_ST_COMPLETE without transition to QUIC_HS_ST_SERVER_HANDSHAKE state.
This latter state is not mandatory.
This simple enable use to coalesce Application level packet with
Handshake ones at the end of the handshake. This is highly useful
if we do want to send a short Handshake packet followed by Application
level ones.
We must evaluate the packet lenghts in advance to be sure we do not
consume a packet number for nothing. The packet building must always
succeeds. This is the role of qc_eval_pkt() implemented by this patch
called before calling qc_do_build_pkt() which was previously modified to
always succeed.
There were cases where the encoded size of acks was not updated leading
to ACK frames building too big compared to the expected size. At this
time, this makes the code "BUG_ON()".
Rename qc_build_hdshk_pkt() to qc_build_pkt() and qc_do_build_hdshk_pkt()
to qc_do_build_pkt().
Update their comments consequently.
Make qc_do_build_hdshk_pkt() BUG_ON() when it does not manage to build
a packet. This is a bug!
Remove the functions which were specific to the Application level.
This is the same function which build any packet for any encryption
level: quic_prep_hdshk_pkts() directly called from the quic_conn_io_cb().
There is no need to pass a copy of CRYPTO frames to qc_build_frm() from
qc_do_build_hdshk_pkt(). Furthermore, after the previous modifications,
qc_do_build_hdshk_pkt() do not build only CRYPTO frame from ->pktns.tx.frms
MT_LIST but any type of frame.
Atomically increase the "next packet variable" before building a new packet.
Make the code bug on a packet building failure. This should never happen
if we do not want to consume a packet number for nothing. There are remaining
modifications to come to ensure this is the case.
Modify this task which is called at least each a packet is received by a listener
so that to make it behave almost as qc_do_hdshk(). This latter is no more useful
and removed.
This function was responsible of building CRYPTO frames to fill as much as
possible a packet passed as argument. This patch makes it support any frame
except STREAM frames whose lengths are highly variable.
We want to treat all the frames to be built the same way as frames
built during handshake (CRYPTO frames). So, let't store them at the same
place which is an MT_LIST.
As this has been done for RX frame parsers, we add a mask for each TX frame
builder to denote the packet types which are authorized to embed such frames.
Each time a TX frame builder is called, we check that its mask matches the
packet type the frame is built for.
These structures are similar. quic_tx_frm was there to try to reduce the
size of such objects which embed a union for all the QUIC frames.
Furtheremore this patch fixes the issue where quic_tx_frm objects were freed
from the pool for quic_frame.
Make quic_rx_packet_ref(inc|dec)() functions be thread safe.
Make use of ->rx.crypto.frms_rwlock RW lock when manipulating RX frames
from qc_treat_rx_crypto_frms().
Modify atomically several variables attached to RX part of quic_enc_level struct.
->rx.crypto member of quic_enc_level struct was not initialized as
this was done for all other members of this structure. This patch
fixes this.
Also adds a RW lock for the frame of this member.
If we let the connection packet handler task (quic_conn_io_cb) process the first
client Initial packet which contain the TLS Client Hello message before the mux
context is initialized, quic_mux_transport_params_update() makes haproxy crash.
->start xprt callback already wakes up this task and is called after all the
connection contexts are initialized. So, this patch do not wakes up quic_conn_io_cb()
if the mux context is not initialized (this was already the case for the connection
context (conn_ctx)).
If we add TX packets to their trees before sending them, they may
be detected as lost before being sent. This may make haproxy crash
when it retreives the prepared packets from TX ring buffers, dereferencing
them after they have been freed.
We use only ring buffers (struct qring) to prepare and send QUIC datagrams.
We can safely remove the old buffering implementation which was not thread safe.
We modify the functions responsible of building packets to put these latters
in ring buffers (qc_build_hdshk_pkt() during the handshake step, and
qc_build_phdshk_apkt() during the post-handshake step). These functions
remove a ring buffer from its list to build as much as possible datagrams.
Eache datagram is prepended of two field: the datagram length and the
first packet in the datagram. We chain the packets belonging to the same datagram
in a singly linked list to reach them from the first one: indeed we must
modify some members of each packet when we really send them from send_ppkts().
This function is also modified to retrieved the datagram from ring buffers.
We initialize the pointer to the listener TX ring buffer list.
Note that this is not done for QUIC clients as we do not fully support them:
we only have to allocate the list and attach it to server struct I guess.
We allocate an array of QUIC ring buffer, one by thread, and arranges them in a
MT_LIST. Everything is allocated or nothing: we do not want to usse an incomplete
array of ring buffers to ensure that each thread may safely acquire one of these
buffers.
Before this patch we reserved 16 bytes (QUIC_TLS_TAG_LEN) before building the
handshake packet to be sure to be able to add the tag which comes with the
the packet encryption, decreasing the end offset of the building buffer by 16 bytes.
But this tag length was taken into an account when calling qc_build_frms() which
computes and build crypto frames for the remaining available room thanks to <*len>
parameter which is the length of the already present bytes in the building buffer
before adding CRYPTO frames. This leaded us to waste the 16 last bytes of the buffer
which were not used.
This make at least our listeners answer to ngtcp2 clients without
HelloRetryRequest message. It seems the server choses the first
group in the group list ordered by preference and set by
SSL_CTX_set1_curves_list() which match the client ones.
This implementation is inspired from Linux kernel circular buffer implementation
(see include/linux/circ-buf.h). Such buffers may be used at the same time both
by writer and reader (lock-free).
Modify the I/O dgram handler principal function used to parse QUIC packets
be thread safe. Its role is at least to create new incoming connections
add to two trees protected by the same RW lock. The packets are for now on
fully parsed before possibly creating new connections.
Allocate everything needed for a connection (struct quic_conn) from the same
function.
Rename qc_new_conn_init() to qc_new_conn() to reflect these modifications.
Insert these connection objects in their tree after returning from this function.
Some SSL call may be called with pointer to ssl_sock_ctx struct as parameter
which does not match the quic_conn_ctx struct type (see ssl_sock_infocb()).
I am not sure we have to keep such callbacks for QUIC but we must ensure
the SSL and QUIC xprts use the same data structure as context.
Move the connection state from quic_conn_ctx struct to quic_conn struct which
is the structure which is used to store the QUIC connection part information.
This structure is initialized by the I/O dgram handler for each new connection
to QUIC listeners. This is needed for the multithread support so that to not
to have to depend on the connection context potentially initialized by another
thread.
We must protect from concurrent the tree which stores the QUIC packets received
by the dgram I/O handler, these packets being also parsed by the xprt task.
No need to call free_quic_rx_packet() after calling quic_rx_packet_eb64_delete()
as this latter already calls quic_rx_packet_refdec() also called by
free_quic_rx_packet().
Let's say that we have to insert a range R between to others A and B
with A->first <= R->first <= B->first. We have to remove the ranges
which are overlapsed by R during. This was correctly done when
the intersection between A and R was not empty, but not when the
intersection between R and B was not empty. If this latter case
after having inserting a new range R we set <new> variable as the
node to consider to check the overlaping between R and its following
ranges.
Make depends qc_new_isecs() only on quic_conn struct initialization only (no more
dependency on connection struct initialization) to be able to run it as soon as
the quic_conn struct is initialized (from the I/O handler) before running ->accept()
quic proto callback.
We remove the header protection of packet only for connection with already
initialized context. This latter keep traces of the connection state.
Furthermore, we enqueue the first Initial packet for a new connection
after having completely parsed the packet so that to not start the accept
process for nothing.
Move the QUIC conn (struct quic_conn) initialization from quic_sock_accept_conn()
to qc_lstnr_pkt_rcv() as this is done for the server part.
Move the timer initialization to ->start xprt callback to ensure the connection
context is done : it is initialized by the ->accept callback which may be run
by another thread than the one for the I/O handler which also run ->start.
Move the call to SSL_set_quic_transport_params() from the listener I/O dgram
handler to the ->init() callback of the xprt (qc_conn_init()) which initializes
its context where is stored the SSL context itself, needed by
SSL_set_quic_transport_params(). Furthermore this is already what is done for the
server counterpart of ->init() QUIC xprt callback. As the ->init() may be run
by another thread than the one for the I/O handler, the xprt context could
not be potentially already initialized before calling SSL_set_quic_transport_params()
from the I/O handler.
The name the maximum packet size transport parameter was ambiguous and replaced
by maximum UDP payload size. Our code would be also ambiguous if it does not
reflect this change.
Set the streams transport parameters which could not be initialized because they
were not available during initializations. Indeed, the streams transport parameters
are provided by the peer during the handshake.
Really signal the caller that ->accept() has failed if the session could not
be initialized because conn_complete_session() has failed. This is the case
if the mux could not be initialized too.
When it fails an ->accept() must returns -1 in case of resource shortage.
Deactivate the action of this callback at this time. I am not sure
we will keep it for QUIC as it does not really make sense for QUIC:
the QUIC packet are already recvfrom()'ed by the low level I/O handler
used for all the connections.
This file has been derived from mux_h2.c removing all h2 parts. At
QUIC mux layer, there must not be any reference to http. This will be the
responsability of the application layer (h3) to open streams handled by the mux.
We move ->params transport parameters to ->rx.params. They are the
transport parameters which will be sent to the peer, and used for
the endpoint flow control. So, they will be used to received packets
from the peer (RX part).
Also move ->rx_tps transport parameters to ->tx.params. They are the
transport parameter which are sent by the peer, and used to respect
its flow control limits. So, they will be used when sending packets
to the peer (TX part).
This bug may occur when displaying streams traces. It came with this commit:
242fb1b63 ("MINOR: quic: Drop packets with STREAM frames with wrong direction.").
An optimization was brought in commit 5064ab6a9 ("OPTIM: lb-leastconn:
do not unlink the server if it did not change") to avoid locking the
server just to discover it did not move. However a mistake was made
because the operation involves a divide with a value that is read
outside of its usual lock, which makes it possible to be zero at the
exact moment we watch it if another thread takes the server down under
the lbprm lock, resulting in a divide by zero.
Therefore we must check that the value is not null there.
This must be backported to 2.4.
The "process" directive on "bind" lines becomes quite confusing considering
that the only allowed value is 1 for the process, and that threads are
optional and come after the mandatory "1/".
Let's introduce a new "thread" directive to directly configure thread
numbers, and mark "process" as deprecated. Now "process" will emit a
warning and will suggest how to be replaced with "thread" instead.
The doc was updated accordingly (mostly a copy-paste of the previous
description which was already up to date).
This is marked as MEDIUM as it will impact users having "zero-warning"
and "process" specified.
Enable the 'slowstart' keyword for dynamic servers. The slowstart task
is allocated in 'add server' handler if slowstart is used.
As the server is created in disabled state, there is no need to start
the task. The slowstart task will be automatically started on the first
'enable server' invocation.
'slowstart' can be used without check on a server, with the CLI handlers
'enable/disable server'. Move the code to initialize and start the
slowstart task outside of check.c.
This change will also be reused to enable slowstart for dynamic servers.
Allow to use the check related keywords defined in server.c. These
keywords can be enabled now that checks have been implemented for
dynamic servers.
Here is the list of the new keywords supported :
- error-limit
- observe
- on-error
- on-marked-down
- on-marked-up
Allow to configure ssl support for dynamic server checks independently
of the ssl server configuration. This is done via the keyword
"check-ssl". Also enable to configure the sni/alpn used for the check
via "check-sni/alpn".
The ssl context is not initialized for a dynamic server, even if there
is a tcpcheck rule which uses ssl on the related backed. This will cause
the check initialization to failed with the message :
"Out of memory when initializing an SSL connection"
This can be reproduced by having the following config in the backend :
option tcp-check
tcp-check connect ssl
and create a dynamic server with check activated and a ca-file.
Fix this by calling the prepare_srv xprt callback when the proxy options
PR_O_TCPCKH_SSL is set.
Check support for dynamic servers has been merged in the current branch.
No backport needed.
Test that checks have been configured on the server before enabling via
the 'enable health' CLI. This mirrors the 'enable agent' command.
Without this, a user can use the command on the server without checks.
This leaves the server in an undefined state. Notably, the stat page
reports the server in check transition.
This condition was left on the following reorg commit.
2c04eda8b5
REORG: cli: move "{enable|disable} health" to server.c
This should be backported up to 1.8.
The issue is introduced with the commit c41d8bd65 ("CLEANUP: flt-trace:
Remove unused random-parsing option").
This must be backported everywhere the above commit is.
appctx_new() is exclusively called with tid_bit and it only uses the
mask to pass it to the accompanying task. There is no point requiring
the caller to know about a mask there, nor is there any point in
creating an applet outside of the context of its own thread anyway.
Let's drop this and pass tid_bit to task_new() directly.
Ilya reports in GH #1392 that clang 13 complains about totlen being
calculated and not used in fd_write_frag_line(), which is true. It's
a leftover of some older code.
Ilya reports in GH #1392 that clang 13 complains about a flag being added
to the "flags" parameter without being used later. That's generic code
that was shared from TCP but we can indeed drop this flag since it's used
for TFO which we don't have in socketpairs.
The CLI's payload parser is over-complicated and as such contains more
bugs than needed. One of them is that it uses strstr() to find the
ending tag, ignoring spaces before it, while the argument locator
creates a new arg on each space, without checking if the end of the
word appears past the previously found end. This results in "<<" being
considered as the start of a new argument if preceeded by more than
one space, and the payload being damaged with a \0 inserted at the
first space or tab.
Let's make an easily backportable fix for now. This fix makes sure that
the trailing zero from the first line is properly kept after '<<' and
that the end tag is looked for only as an isolated argument and nothing
else. This also gets rid of the unsuitable strstr() call and now makes
sure that strcspn() will not return elements that are found in the
payload.
For the long term the loop must be rewritten to get rid of those
unsuitable strcspn() and strstr() calls which work past each other, and
the cli_parse_request() function should be split into a tokenizer and
an executor that are used from the caller instead of letting the caller
play games with what it finds there.
This should be backported wherever CLI payload is supported, i.e. 2.0+.
Move the code to allocate/free the mux cleanup task outside of the polling
loop. A new thread_alloc/free handler is registered for this in
connection.c.
This has the benefit to clean up the polling loop code. And as another
benefit, if the task allocation fails, the handler can report an error
to exit the haproxy process. This prevents a potential null pointer
dereferencing.
This should fix the github issue #1389.
This must be backported up to 2.4.
When the LDAP response is parsed, the message length is not properly
decoded. While it works for LDAP servers encoding it on 1 byte, it does not
work for those using a multi-bytes encoding. Among others, Active Directory
servers seems to encode messages or elements length on 4 bytes.
In this patch, we only handle length of BindResponse messages encoded on 1,
2 or 4 bytes. In theory, it may be encoded on any bytes number less than 127
bytes. But it is useless to make this part too complex. It should be ok this
way.
This patch should fix the issue #1390. It should be backported to all stable
versions. While it should be easy to backport it as far as 2.2, the patch
will have to be totally rewritten for lower versions.
Ilya reported in issue #1391 a build warning on Fedora about mallinfo()
being deprecated in favor of mallinfo2() since glibc-2.33. Let's add
support for it. This should be backported where the following commit is
also backported: 157e39303 ("MINOR: pools: automatically disable
malloc_trim() with external allocators").
If an error was already reported on the H1 connection, pending input data
must not be (re)evaluated in h1_process(). Otherwise an unexpected internal
error will be reported, in addition of the first one. And on some
conditions, this may generate an infinite loop because the mux tries to send
an internal error but it fails to do so thus it loops to retry.
This patch should fix the issue #1356. It must be backported to 2.4.
The "unresolved" variable is unused since commit 9fa0df5 ("BUG/MINOR: acl:
Fix freeing of expr->smp in prune_acl_expr").
This patch should fix the issue #1359.
Pierre Cheynier reported some occasional crashes in malloc_trim() on a
recent glibc when running with jemalloc(). While in theory there should
not be any link between the two, it remains plausible that something
allocated early with one is tentatively freed with the other and that
attempts to trim end up badly. There's no point calling the glibc specific
malloc_trim() with external allocators anyway. However these ones are often
enabled at link time or even at run time with LD_PRELOAD, so we cannot rely
on build options for this.
This patch implements runtime detection for the allocator in use by checking
with mallinfo() that a malloc() call is properly accounted for in glibc's
malloc. It only enables malloc_trim() in this case, and ignores it for
other cases. It's fine to proceed like this because mallinfo() is provided
by a wider range of glibcs than malloc_trim().
This could be backported to 2.4 and 2.3. If so, it will also need previous
patch "CLEANUP: pools: factor all malloc_trim() calls into trim_all_pools()".
The sizeof() was printed as a long but it's just an unsigned on some
32-bit platforms, hence the format warning. No backport is needed, as
this arrived in 2.5 with commit 40ca09c7b ("MINOR: sample: Add be2dec
converter").
A bug was introduced by the commit 26eb5ea35 ("BUG/MINOR: filters: Always
set FLT_END analyser when CF_FLT_ANALYZE flag is set"). Depending on the
channel evaluated, the rigth FLT_END analyser must be set. AN_REQ_FLT_END
for the request channel and AN_RES_FLT_END for the response one.
Ths patch must be backported everywhere the above commit was backported.
When an error is returned to the client, via a call to
http_reply_and_close(), the request channel is flushed and shut down and
HTTP analysis on both direction is finished. So it is safer to centralize
reset of channels analysers at this place. It is especially important when a
filter is attached to the stream when a client abort is detected. Because,
otherwise, the stream remains blocked because request analysers are not
reset.
This bug was hidden for a while. But since the fix 6fcd2d328 ("BUG/MINOR:
stream: Don't release a stream if FLT_END is still registered"), it is
possible to trigger it.
This patch must be backported everywhere the above commit was backported.
If the end of input is reported by the mux on the conn-stream during a
receive, we leave without evaluating the channel policies. It is especially
important to be able to catch client aborts during server connection
establishment. Indeed, in this case, without this patch, the
stream-interface remains blocked and read events are not forwarded to the
stream. It means it is not possible to detect client aborts.
Thanks to this fix, the abortonclose option should fixed for HAProxy 2.3 and
lower. On 2.4 and 2.5, it seems to work because the stream is created after
the request parsing.
Note that a previous fix of abortonclose option was reverted. This one
should be the right way to fix it. It must carefully be backported as far as
2.0. A observation period on the 2.3 is probably a good idea.
Now, "Upgrade:" header is removed from such requests. Thus, the condition to
reject them is now useless and can be removed. Code to handle unimplemented
features is now unused but is preserved for future uses.
This patch may be backported to 2.4.
Instead of returning a 501-Not-implemented error when "Ugrade:" header is
found for a request with a payload, the header is removed. This way, the
upgrade is disabled and the request is still sent to the server. It is
required because some frameworks seem to try to perform H2 upgrade on every
requests, including POST ones.
The h2 mux was slightly fixed to convert Upgrade requests to extended
connect ones only if the rigth HTX flag is set.
This patch should fix the issue #1381. It must be backported to 2.4.
The sole purpose of the variable's usage accounting is to enforce
limits at the session or process level, but very commonly these are not
set, yet the bookkeeping (especially at the process level) is extremely
expensive.
Let's simply disable it when the limits are not set. This further
increases the performance of 12 variables on 16-thread from 1.06M
to 1.24M req/s.
Right now we have a per-process max variable size and a per-scope one,
with the proc scope covering all others. As such, the per-process global
one is always exactly equal to the per-proc-scope one. And bookkeeping
on these process-wide variables is extremely expensive (up to 38% CPU
seen in var_accounting_diff() just for them).
Let's kill vars_global_size and only rely on the proc one. Doing this
increased the request rate from 770k to 1.06M in a config having only
12 variables on a 16-thread machine.
The global table of known variables names can only grow and was designed
for static names that are registered at boot. Nowadays it's possible to
set dynamic variable names from Lua or from the CLI, which causes a real
problem that was partially addressed in 2.2 with commit 4e172c93f
("MEDIUM: lua: Add `ifexist` parameter to `set_var`"). Please see github
issue #624 for more context.
This patch simplifies all this by removing the need for a central
registry of known names, and storing 64-bit hashes instead. This is
highly sufficient given the low number of variables in each context.
The hash is calculated using XXH64() which is bijective over the 64-bit
space thus is guaranteed collision-free for 1..8 chars. Above that the
risk remains around 1/2^64 per extra 8 chars so in practice this is
highly sufficient for our usage. A random seed is used at boot to seed
the hash so that it's not attackable from Lua for example.
There's one particular nit though. The "ifexist" hack mentioned above
is now limited to variables of scope "proc" only, and will only match
variables that were already created or declared, but will now verify
the scope as well. This may affect some bogus Lua scripts and SPOE
agents which used to accidentally work because a similarly named
variable used to exist in a different scope. These ones may need to be
fixed to comply with the doc.
Now we can sum up the situation as this one:
- ephemeral variables (scopes sess, txn, req, res) will always be
usable, regardless of any prior declaration. This effectively
addresses the most problematic change from the commit above that
in order to work well could have required some script auditing ;
- process-wide variables (scope proc) that are mentioned in the
configuration, referenced in a "register-var-names" SPOE directive,
or created via "set-var" in the global section or the CLI, are
permanent and will always accept to be set, with or without the
"ifexist" restriction (SPOE uses this internally as well).
- process-wide variables (scope proc) that are only created via a
set-var() tcp/http action, via Lua's set_var() calls, or via an
SPOE with the "force-set-var" directive), will not be permanent
but will always accept to be replaced once they are created, even
if "ifexist" is present
- process-wide variables (scope proc) that do not exist will only
support being created via the set-var() tcp/http action, Lua's
set_var() calls without "ifexist", or an SPOE declared with
"force-set-var".
This means that non-proc variables do not care about "ifexist" nor
prior declaration, and that using "ifexist" should most often be
reliable in Lua and that SPOE should most often work without any
prior declaration. It may be doable to turn "ifexist" to 1 by default
in Lua to further ease the transition. Note: regtests were adjusted.

Variables names will be hashed, but for this we need a random seed.
The XXH3() algorithms is bijective over the whole 64-bit space, which
is great as it guarantees no collision for 1..8 byte names. But above
that even if the risk is extremely faint, it theoretically exists and
since variables may be set from Lua we'd rather do our best to limit
the risk of controlled collision, hence the random seed.
All variables whose names are parsed by the config parser, the
command-line parser or the SPOE's register-var-names parser are
now preset as permanent. This will guarantee that these variables
will exist through out all the process' life, and that it will be
possible to implement the "ifexist" feature by looking them up.
This was marked medium because pre-setting a variable with an empty
value may always have side effects, even though none was spotted at
this stage.
We certainly do not want that a permanent variable (one that is listed
in the configuration) be erased by accident by an "unset-var" action.
Let's make sure these ones are only reset to an empty sample, like at
the moment of their initial registration. One trick is that the same
function is used to purge the memory at the end and to delete, so we
need to add an extra "force" argument to make the choice.
In order to continue to honor the ifexist Lua option and prevent rogue
SPOA agents from creating too many variables, we'll need to keep the
ability to mark certain proc.* variables as permanent when they're
known from the config file.
Let's add a flag there for this. It's added to the variable when the
variable is created with this flag set by the caller.
Another approach could have been to use a distinct list or distinct
scope but that sounds complicated and bug-prone.
Storing an unset sample (SMP_T_ANY == 0) will be used to only reserve
the variable's space but associate no value. We need to slightly adjust
var_to_smp() for this so that it considers a value-less variable as non
existent and falls back to the default value.
Passing this flag to var_set() will result in the variable to only be
created if it did not exist, otherwise nothing is done (it's not even
updated). This will be used for pre-registering names.
When setting variables, there are currently two variants, one which will
always create the variable, and another one, "ifexist", which will only
create or update a variable if a similarly named variable in any scope
already existed before.
The goal was to limit the risk of injecting random names in the proc
scope, but it was achieved by making use of the somewhat limited name
indexing model, which explains the scope-agnostic restriction.
With this change, we're moving the check downwards in the chain, at the
variable level, and only variables under the scope "proc" will be subject
to the restriction. A new set of VF_* flags was added to adjust how
variables are set, and VF_UPDATEONLY is used to mention this restriction.
In this exact state of affairs, this is not completely exact, as if a
similar name was not known in any scope, the variable will continue to
be rejected like before, but this will change soon.
The names for these two functions are totally misleading, they have
nothing to do with samples, they're purely dedicated to variables. The
former is only used by the second one and makes no sense by itself, so
it cannot even get a meaningful name. Let's remerge them into a single
one called "var_set()" which, as its name tries to imply, sets a variable
to a given value.
This name was quite misleading, as it has nothing to do with samples nor
streams. This function's sole purpose is to unset a variable, so let's
call it "var_unset()" and document it a little bit.
The vars_init() name is particularly confusing as it does not initialize
the variables code but the head of a list of variables passed in
arguments. And we'll soon need to have proper initialization code, so
let's rename it now.
In ticket #1348 some users expressed some concerns regarding the removal
of the "grace" directive from the proxies. Their use case very closely
mimmicks the original intent of the grace keyword, which is, let haproxy
accept traffic for some time when stopping, while indicating an external
LB that it's stopping.
This is implemented here by starting a task whose expiration triggers
the soft-stop for real. The global "stopping" variable is immediately
set however. For example, this below will be sufficient to instantly
notify an external check on port 9999 that the service is going down,
while other services remain active for 10s:
global
grace 10s
frontend ext-check
bind :9999
monitor-uri /ext-check
monitor fail if { stopping }
This reverts commit e0dec4b7b2.
At first glance, channel_is_empty() was used on purpose in si_update_rx(),
because of the HTX ("b3e0de46c" MEDIUM: stream-int: Rely only on
SI_FL_WAIT_ROOM to stop data receipt). It is not pretty clear for now why
channel_may_recv() sould not be used here but this change introduce a
possible infinite loop with the stats applet. So, it is safer to revert the
patch, waiting for a better understanding of the probelm.
This means the abortonclose option will be broken again on the 2.3 and lower
versions.
This patch should fix the issue #1360. It must be backported as far as 2.0.
Since commit "BUG/MINOR: config: reject configs using HTTP with bufsize
>= 256 MB" we are now sure that it's not possible anymore to have an HTX
block of a size 256 MB or more, even after concatenation thanks to the
tests for len >= htx_free_data_space(). Let's remove these now obsolete
comments.
A BUG_ON() was added in htx_add_blk() to track any such exception if
the conditions would change later, to complete the one that is performed
on the start address that must remain within the buffer.
As seen in commit 5ef965606 ("BUG/MINOR: lua: use strlcpy2() not
strncpy() to copy sample keywords"), configs with large values of
tune.bufsize were not practically usable since Lua was introduced,
regardless of the machine's available memory.
In addition, HTX encoding already limits block sizes to 256 MB, thus
it is not technically possible to use that large a buffer size when
HTTP is in use. This is absurdly high anyway, and for example Lua
initialization would take around one minute on a 4 GHz CPU. Better
prevent such a config from starting than having to deal with bug
reports that make no sense.
The check is only enforced if at least one HTX proxy was found, as
there is no techincal reason to block it for configs that are solely
based on raw TCP, and it could still be imagined that some such might
exist with single connections (e.g. a log forwarder that buffers to
cover for the storage I/O latencies).
This should be backported to all HTX-enabled versions (2.0 and above).
It is quite common to see in configurations constructions like the
following one:
http-request set-var(txn.bodylen) 0
http-request set-var(txn.bodylen) req.hdr(content-length)
...
http-request set-header orig-len %[var(txn.bodylen)]
The set-var() rules are almost always duplicated when manipulating
integers or any other value that is mandatory along operations. This is
a problem because it makes the configurations complicated to maintain
and slower than needed. And it becomes even more complicated when several
conditions may set the same variable because the risk of forgetting to
initialize it or to accidentally reset it is high.
This patch extends the var() sample fetch function to take an optional
argument which contains a default value to be returned if the variable
was not set. This way it becomes much simpler to use the variable, just
set it where needed, and read it with a fall back to the default value:
http-request set-var(txn.bodylen) req.hdr(content-length)
...
http-request set-header orig-len %[var(txn.bodylen,0)]
The default value is always passed as a string, thus it will experience
a cast to the output type. It doesn't seem userful to complicate the
configuration to pass an explicit type at this point.
The vars.vtc regtest was updated accordingly.
In preparation for support default values when fetching variables, we
need to update the internal API to pass an extra argument to functions
vars_get_by_{name,desc} to provide an optional default value. This
patch does this and always passes NULL in this argument. var_to_smp()
was extended to fall back to this value when available.
The two functions vars_get_by_name() and vars_get_by_scope() perform
almost the same operations except that they differ from the way the
name and scope are retrieved. The second part in common is more
complex and involves locking, so better factor this one out into a
new function.
There is no other change than refactoring.
Most often "set var" on the CLI is used to set a string, and using only
expressions is not always convenient, particularly when trying to
concatenate variables sur as host names and paths.
Now the "set var" command supports an optional keyword before the value
to indicate its type. "expr" takes an expression just like before this
patch, and "fmt" a format string, making it work like the "set-var-fmt"
actions.
The VTC was updated to include a test on the format string.
Just like the set-var-fmt action for tcp/http rules, the set-var-fmt
directive in global sections allows to pre-set process-wide variables
using a format string instead of a sample expression. This is often
more convenient when it is required to concatenate multiple fields,
or when emitting just one word.
The log-format strings are usable at plenty of places, but the expressions
using %[] were restricted to request or response context and nothing else.
This prevents from using them from the config context or the CLI, let's
relax this.
We're using a dummy temporary proxy when creating global variables in
the configuration file, it was copied from the CLI's code and was
mistakenly called "CLI", better name it "CFG". It should not appear
anywhere except maybe when debugging cores.
When attempting to set a variable does not start with the "proc" scope on
the CLI, we used to emit "only proc is permitted in the global section"
which obviously is a leftover from the initial code.
This may be backported to 2.4.
When a variable starts with the wrong scope, it is named without stripping
the extra characters that follow it, which usually are closing parenthesis.
Let's make sure we only report what is expected.
This may be backported to 2.4.
In commit 9a621ae76 ("MEDIUM: vars: add a new "set-var-fmt" action")
we introduced the support for format strings in variables with the
ability to release them on exit, except that it's the wrong list that
was being scanned for the rule (http vs vars), resulting in random
crashes during deinit.
This was a recent commit in 2.5-dev, no backport is needed.
The set-var() action is convenient because it preserves the input type
but it's a pain to deal with when trying to concatenate values. The
most recurring example is when it's needed to build a variable composed
of the source address and the source port. Usually it ends up like this:
tcp-request session set-var(sess.port) src_port
tcp-request session set-var(sess.addr) src,concat(":",sess.port)
This is even worse when trying to aggregate multiple fields from stick-table
data for example. Due to this a lot of users instead abuse headers from HTTP
rules:
http-request set-header(x-addr) %[src]:%[src_port]
But this requires some careful cleanups to make sure they won't leak, and
it's significantly more expensive to deal with. And generally speaking it's
not clean. Plus it must be performed for each and every request, which is
expensive for this common case of ip+port that doesn't change for the whole
session.
This patch addresses this limitation by implementing a new "set-var-fmt"
action which performs the same work as "set-var" but takes a format string
in argument instead of an expression. This way it becomes pretty simple to
just write:
tcp-request session set-var-fmt(sess.addr) %[src]:%[src_port]
It is usable in all rulesets that already support the "set-var" action.
It is not yet implemented for the global "set-var" directive (which already
takes a string) and the CLI's "set var" command, which would definitely
benefit from it but currently uses its own parser and engine, thus it
must be reworked.
The doc and regtests were updated.
When the expression called in "set-var" uses argments that require late
resolution, the context must be set. At the moment, any unknown argument
is misleadingly reported as "ACL":
frontend f
bind :8080
mode http
http-request set-var(proc.a) be_conn(foo)
parsing [b1.cfg:4]: unable to find backend 'foo' referenced in arg 1 \
of ACL keyword 'be_conn' in proxy 'f'.
Once the context is properly set, it now says the truth:
parsing [b1.cfg:8]: unable to find backend 'foo' referenced in arg 1 \
of sample fetch keyword 'be_conn' in http-request expression in proxy 'f'.
This may be backported but is not really important. If so, the preceeding
patches "BUG/MINOR: vars: improve accuracy of the rules used to check
expression validity" and "MINOR: sample: add missing ARGC_ entries" must
be backported as well.
For a long time we couldn't have arguments in expressions used in
tcp-request, tcp-response etc rules. But now due to the variables
it's possible, and their context in case of failure to resolve an
argument (e.g. backend name not found) is not properly reported
because there is no arg context values in ARGC_* to report them.
Let's add a number of missing ones for tcp-request {connection,
session,content}, tcp-response content, tcp-check, the config
parser (for "set-var" in the global section) and the CLI parser
(for "set-var" on the CLI).
The set-var() expression naturally checks whether expressions are valid
in the context of the rule, but it fails to differentiate frontends from
backends. As such for tcp-content and http-request rules, it will only
accept frontend-compatible sample-fetches, excluding those declared with
SMP_UES_BKEND (a few such as be_id, be_name). For the response it accepts
the backend-compatible expressions only, though it seems that there are
no sample-fetch function that are valid only in the frontend's content,
so that should not cause any problem.
Note that while allowing valid configs to be used, the fix might also
uncover some incorrect configurations where some expressions currently
return nothing (e.g. something depending on frontend declared in a
backend), and which could be rejected, but there does not seem to be
any such keyword. Thus while it should be backported, better not backport
it too far (2.4 and possibly 2.3 only).
The parser checks first for "set-var" then "unset-var" from the updated
offset instead of testing it only when the other one fails, so it
validates this rule as "unset-var":
http-request set-varunset-var(proc.a)
This should be backported everywhere relevant, though it's mostly harmless
as it's unlikely that some users are purposely writing this in their conf!
Sometimes it is convenient to remap large sets of URIs to new ones (e.g.
after a site migration for example). This can be achieved using
"http-request redirect" combined with maps, but one difficulty there is
that non-matching entries will return an empty response. In order to
avoid this, duplicating the operation as an ACL condition ending in
"-m found" is possible but it becomes complex and error-prone while it's
known that an empty URL is not valid in a location header.
This patch addresses this by improving the redirect rules to be able to
simply ignore the rule and skip to the next one if the result of the
evaluation of the "location" expression is empty. However in order not
to break existing setups, it requires a new "ignore-empty" keyword.
There used to be an ACT_FLAG_FINAL on redirect rules that's used during
the parsing to emit a warning if followed by another rule, so here we
only set it if the option is not there. The http_apply_redirect_rule()
function now returns a 3rd value to mention that it did nothing and
that this was not an error, so that callers can just ignore the rule.
The regular "redirect" rules were not modified however since this does
not apply there.
The map_redirect VTC was completed with such a test and updated to 2.5
and an example was added into the documentation.
The bc_conn_err and bc_conn_err_str sample fetches give the status of
the connection on the backend side. The error codes and error messages
are the same than the ones that can be raised by the fc_conn_err fetch.
This new sample fetch along the ssl_bc_hsk_err_str fetch contain the
last SSL error of the error stack that occurred during the SSL
handshake (from the backend's perspective).
The locking in the dequeuing process was significantly improved by commit
49667c14b ("MEDIUM: queue: take the proxy lock only during the px queue
accesses") in that it tries hard to limit the time during which the
proxy's queue lock is held to the strict minimum. Unfortunately it's not
enough anymore, because we take up the task and manipulate a few pendconn
elements after releasing the proxy's lock (while we're under the server's
lock) but the task will not necessarily hold the server lock since it may
not have successfully found one (e.g. timeout in the backend queue). As
such, stream_free() calling pendconn_free() may release the pendconn
immediately after the proxy's lock is released while the other thread
currently proceeding with the dequeuing tries to wake up the owner's
task and dies in task_wakeup().
One solution consists in releasing le proxy's lock later. But tests have
shown that we'd have to sacrifice a significant share of the performance
gained with the patch above (roughly a 20% loss).
This patch takes another approach. It adds a "del_lock" to each pendconn
struct, that allows to keep it referenced while the proxy's lock is being
released. It's mostly a serialization lock like a refcount, just to maintain
the pendconn alive till the task_wakeup() call is complete. This way we can
continue to release the proxy's lock early while keeping this one. It had
to be added to the few points where we're about to free a pendconn, namely
in pendconn_dequeue() and pendconn_unlink(). This way we continue to
release the proxy's lock very early and there is no performance degradation.
This lock may only be held under the queue's lock to prevent lock
inversion.
No backport is needed since the patch above was merged in 2.5-dev only.
This option can be used to define a specific log format that will be
used in case of error, timeout, connection failure on a frontend... It
will be used for any log line concerned by the log-separate-errors
option. It will also replace the format of specific error messages
decribed in section 8.2.6.
If no "error-log-format" is defined, the legacy error messages are still
emitted and the other error logs keep using the regular log-format.
This option will be replaced by a "error-log-format" that enables to use
a dedicated log-format for connection error messages instead of the
regular log-format (in which most of the fields would be invalid in such
a case).
The "log-error-via-logformat" mechanism will then be replaced by a test
on the presence of such an error log format or not. If a format is
defined, it is used for connection error messages, otherwise the legacy
error log format is used.
One was in backend.c and the other one in hlua.c. No other candidate
was found with "git grep '^#if\s*USE'". It's worth noting that 3
other such tests exist for SSL_OP_NO_{SSLv3,TLSv1_1,TLSv1_2} but
that these ones are properly set to 0 in openssl-compat.h when not
defined.
The condition should first check whether `bsize` is reached, before
dereferencing the offset. Even if this always works fine, due to the
string being null-terminated, this certainly looks odd.
Found using GitHub's CodeQL scan.
This bug traces back to at least 97c2ae13bc
(1.7.0+) and this patch should be backported accordingly.
Using localtime / gmtime is not thread-safe, whereas the `get_*` wrappers are.
Found using GitHub's CodeQL scan.
The use in sample_conv_ltime() can be traced back to at least
fac9ccfb70 (first appearing in 1.6-dev3), so all
supported branches with thread support are affected.
The test on FIND_OPTIMAL_MATCH for the experimental code can yield a
build warning when using -Wundef, let's turn it into a regular ifdef.
This is slz upstream commit 05630ae8f22b71022803809eb1e7deb707bb30fb
Before threads were introduced in 1.8, idle_pct used to be a global
variable indicating the overall process idle time. Threads made it
thread-local, meaning that its reporting in the stats made little
sense, though this was not easy to spot. In 2.0, the idle_pct variable
moved to the struct thread_info via commit 81036f273 ("MINOR: time:
move the cpu, mono, and idle time to thread_info"). It made it more
obvious that the idle_pct was per thread, and also allowed to more
accurately measure it. But no more effort was made in that direction.
This patch introduces a new report_idle() function that accurately
averages the per-thread idle time over all running threads (i.e. it
should remain valid even if some threads are paused or stopped), and
makes use of it in the stats / "show info" reports.
Sending traffic over only two connections of an 8-thread process
would previously show this erratic CPU usage pattern:
$ while :; do socat /tmp/sock1 - <<< "show info"|grep ^Idle;sleep 0.1;done
Idle_pct: 30
Idle_pct: 35
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 35
Idle_pct: 33
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Now it shows this more accurate measurement:
$ while :; do socat /tmp/sock1 - <<< "show info"|grep ^Idle;sleep 0.1;done
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
This is not technically a bug but this lack of precision definitely affects
some users who rely on the idle_pct measurement. This should at least be
backported to 2.4, and might be to some older releases depending on users
demand.
To be able to provide JA3 compatible TLS Fingerprints we need to expose
all Client Hello captured data using fetchers. Patch provides new
and modifies existing fetchers to add ability to filter out GREASE values:
- ssl_fc_cipherlist_*
- ssl_fc_ecformats_bin
- ssl_fc_eclist_bin
- ssl_fc_extlist_bin
- ssl_fc_protocol_hello_id
When we set tune.ssl.capture-cipherlist-size to a non-zero value
we are able to capture cipherlist supported by the client. To be able to
provide JA3 compatible TLS fingerprinting we need to capture more
information from Client Hello message:
- SSL Version
- SSL Extensions
- Elliptic Curves
- Elliptic Curve Point Formats
This patch allows HAProxy to capture such information and store it for
later use.
The lua initialization code which creates the Lua mapping of all converters
and sample fetch keywords makes use of strncpy(), and as such can take ages
to start with large values of tune.bufsize because it spends its time zeroing
gigabytes of memory for nothing. A test performed with an extreme value of
16 MB takes roughly 4 seconds, so it's possible that some users with huge
1 MB buffers (e.g. for payload analysis) notice a small startup latency.
However this does not affect config checks since the Lua stack is not yet
started. Let's replace this with strlcpy2().
This should be backported to all supported versions.
When a server is configured with name-resolution, resolvers objects are
created with reference to this server. Thus the server is marked as non
purgeable to prevent its removal at runtime.
This does not need to be backport.
Patch 211c967 ("MINOR: httpclient: add the server to the proxy") broke
the reg-tests that do a "show servers state".
Indeed the servers of the proxies flagged with PR_CAP_INT are dumped in
the output of this CLI command.
This patch fixes the issue par ignoring the PR_CA_INT proxies in the
dump.
Without this fix, the decode function would proceed even when the output
buffer is not large enough, because the padding was not considered. For
example, it would not fail with the input length of 23 and the output
buffer size of 15, even the actual decoded output size is 17.
This patch should be backported to all stable branches that have a
base64urldec() function available.
Relax the condition on "delete server" CLI handler to be able to remove
all servers, even non dynamic, except if they are flagged as non
purgeable.
This change is necessary to extend the use cases for dynamic servers
with reload. It's expected that each dynamic server created via the CLI
is manually commited in the haproxy configuration by the user. Dynamic
servers will be present on reload only if they are present in the
configuration file. This means that non-dynamic servers must be allowed
to be removable at runtime.
The dynamic servers removal reg-test has been updated and renamed to
reflect its purpose. A new test is present to check that non-purgeable
servers cannot be removed.
Mark servers that are referenced by configuration elements as non
purgeable. This includes the following list :
- tracked servers
- servers referenced in a use-server rule
- servers referenced in a sample fetch
In a future patch, it will be possible to remove at runtime every
servers, both static and dynamic. This requires to extend the server
refcount for all instances.
First, refcount manipulation functions have been renamed to better
express the API usage.
* srv_refcount_use -> srv_take
The refcount is always initialize to 1 on the server creation in
new_server. It's also incremented for each check/agent configured on a
server instance.
* free_server -> srv_drop
This decrements the refcount and if null, the server is freed, so code
calling it must not use the server reference after it. As a bonus, this
function now returns the next server instance. This is useful when
calling on the server loop without having to save the next pointer
before each invocation.
In these functions, remove the checks that prevent refcount on
non-dynamic servers. Each reference to "dynamic" in variable/function
naming have been eliminated as well.
A dynamic server may be deleted at runtime at the same moment when the
stats applet is pointing to it. Use the server refcount to prevent
deletion in this case.
This should be backported up to 2.4, with an observability period of 2
weeks. Note that it requires the dynamic server refcounting feature
which has been implemented on 2.5; the following commits are required :
- MINOR: server: implement a refcount for dynamic servers
- BUG/MINOR: server: do not use refcount in free_server in stopping mode
- MINOR: server: return the next srv instance on free_server
As a convenience, return the next server instance from servers list on
free_server.
This is particularily useful when using this function on the servers
list without having to save of the next pointer before calling it.
using the procctl api to set the current process as traceable, thus being able to produce a core dump as well.
making it as compile option if not wished or using freebsd prior to 11.x (last no EOL release).
THe http_update_update_host function takes an URL and extract the domain
to use as a host header. However it only update an existing host header
and does not create one.
This patch add an empty host header so the function can update it.
Add the raw and ssl server to the proxy list so they can be freed during
the deinit() of HAProxy. As a side effect the 2 servers need to have a
different ID so the SSL one was renamed "<HTTPSCLIENT>".
Ensure that no more than olen bytes is written to the output buffer,
otherwise we might experience an unexpected behavior.
While the original code used to validate that the output size was
always large enough before starting to write, this validation was
later broken by the commit below, allowing to 3-byte blocks to
areas whose size is not multiple of 3:

BUG/MINOR: base64: dec func ignores padding for output size checking
Decode function returns an error even if the ouptut buffer is
large enought because the padding was not considered. This
case was never met with current code base.
For base64urldec(), it's basically the same problem except that since
the input format supports arbitrary lengths, the problem has always
been there since its introduction in 2.4.
This should be backported to all stable branches having a backport of
the patch above (i.e. 2.0), with some adjustments depending on the
availability of the base64dec() and base64urldec().
The httpclient does a free of the servers and proxies it uses, however
since we are including them in the global proxy list, haproxy already
free them during the deinit. We can safely remove these free.
The sc-set-gpt0() parser was extended in 2.1 by commit 0d7712dff ("MINOR:
stick-table: allow sc-set-gpt0 to set value from an expression") to support
sample expressions in addition to plain integers. However there is a
subtlety there, which is that while the arg position must be incremented
when parsing an integer, it must not be touched when calling an expression
since the expression parser already does it.
The effect is that rules making use of sc-set-gpt0() followed by an
expression always ignore one word after that expression, and will typically
fail to parse if followed by an "if" as the parser will restart after the
"if". With no condition it's different because an empty condition doesn't
result in trying to parse anything.
This patch moves the increment at the right place and adds a few
explanations for a code part that was far from being obvious.
This should be backported to branches having the commit above (2.1+).
Implements a way of checking the running openssl version:
If the OpenSSL support was not compiled within HAProxy it will returns a
error, so it's recommanded to do a SSL feature check before:
$ ./haproxy -cc 'feature(OPENSSL) && openssl_version_atleast(0.9.8zh) && openssl_version_before(3.0.0)'
This will allow to select the SSL reg-tests more carefully.
Some users are facing huge CPU usage or even watchdog panics due to
the Lua global lock when many threads compete on it, but they have
no way to see that in the usual dumps. We take the lock at 2 or 3
places only, thus it's trivial to move it to a global function so
that stack dumps will now explicitly show it, increasing the change
that it rings a bell and someone suggests switch to lua-load-per-thread:

Reported by coverity in ticket #1355
CID 1461505: Memory - illegal accesses (UNINIT)
Using uninitialized value "sl".
Fix the problem by initializing sl to NULL.
Proxies must call proxy_preset_defaults() to initialize their settings
that are usually learned from defaults sections (e.g. connection retries,
pool purge delay etc). At the moment there was likely no impact, but not
doing so could cause trouble soon when using the client more extensively
or when new defaults are introduced and failed to be initialized.
No backport is needed.
Recent commit 83614a9fb ("MINOR: httpclient: initialize the proxy") broke
reg tests that match the output of "show stats" or "show servers state"
because it changed the proxies' numeric ID.
In fact it did nothing wrong, it just registers a proxy and adds it at
the head of the list. But the automatic numbering scheme, which was made
to make sure that temporarily disabled proxies in the config keep their
ID instead of shifting all others, sees one more proxy and increments
next_pxid for all subsequent proxies.
This patch avoids this by not assigning automatic IDs to such internal
proxies, leaving them with their ID of -1, and by not shifting next_pxid
for them. This is important because the user might experience them
appearing or disappearing depending on apparently unrelated config
options or build options, and this must not cause visible proxy IDs
to change (e.g. stats or minitoring may break).
Though the issue has always been there, it only became a problem with
the recent proxy additions so there is no need to backport this.
The X509_STORE_CTX_get0_cert did not exist yet on OpenSSL 1.0.2 and
neither did X509_STORE_CTX_get0_chain, which was not actually needed
since its get1 equivalent already existed.
RFC7540 states that :path follows RFC3986's path-absolute. However
that was a bug introduced in the spec between draft 04 and draft 05
of the spec, which implicitly causes paths starting with "//" to be
forbidden. HTTP/1 (and now HTTP core semantics) made it explicit
that the request-target in origin-form follows a purposely defined
absolute-path defined as 1*(/ segment) to explicitly allow "//".
http2bis now fixes this by relying on absolute-path so that "//"
becomes valid and matches other versions. Full discussion here:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2021JulSep/0245.html
This issue appeared in haproxy with commit 4b8852c70 ("BUG/MAJOR: h2:
verify that :path starts with a '/' before concatenating it") when
making the checks on :path fully comply with the spec, and was backported
as far as 2.0, so this fix must be backported there as well to allow
"//" in H2 again.
Most of the SSL sample fetches related to the client certificate were
based on the SSL_get_peer_certificate function which returns NULL when
the verification process failed. This made it impossible to use those
fetches in a log format since they would always be empty.
The patch adds a reference to the X509 object representing the client
certificate in the SSL structure and makes use of this reference in the
fetches.
The reference can only be obtained in ssl_sock_bind_verifycbk which
means that in case of an SSL error occurring before the verification
process ("no shared cipher" for instance, which happens while processing
the Client Hello), we won't ever start the verification process and it
will be impossible to get information about the client certificate.
This patch also allows most of the ssl_c_XXX fetches to return a usable
value in case of connection failure (because of a verification error for
instance) by making the "conn->flags & CO_FL_WAIT_XPRT" test (which
requires a connection to be established) less strict.
Thanks to this patch, a log-format such as the following should return
usable information in case of an error occurring during the verification
process :
log-format "DN=%{+Q}[ssl_c_s_dn] serial=%[ssl_c_serial,hex] \
hash=%[ssl_c_sha1,hex]"
It should answer to GitHub issue #693.
Change the User-Agent from "HAProxy HTTP client" to "HAProxy" as the
previous name is not valid according to RFC 7231#5.5.3.
This patch fixes issue #1354.
This commit implements an HTTP Client over the CLI, this was made as
working example for the HTTP Client API.
It usable over the CLI by specifying a method and an URL:
echo "httpclient GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/demo.file" | socat /tmp/haproxy.sock -
Only IP addresses are accessibles since the API does not allow to
resolve addresses yet.
This commit implements a very simple HTTP Client API.
A client can be operated by several functions:
- httpclient_new(), httpclient_destroy(): create
and destroy the struct httpclient instance.
- httpclient_req_gen(): generate a complete HTX request using the
the absolute URL, the method and a list of headers. This request
is complete and sets the HTX End of Message flag. This is limited
to small request we don't need a body.
- httpclient_start() fill a sockaddr storage with a IP extracted
from the URL (it cannot resolve an fqdm for now), start the
applet. It also stores the ptr of the caller which could be an
appctx or something else.
- hc->ops contains a list of callbacks used by the
HTTPClient, they should be filled manually after an
httpclient_new():
* res_stline(): the client received a start line, its content
will be stored in hc->res.vsn, hc->res.status, hc->res.reason
* res_headers(): the client received headers, they are stored in
hc->res.hdrs.
* res_payload(): the client received some payload data, they are
stored in the hc->res.buf buffer and could be extracted with the
httpclient_res_xfer() function, which takes a destination buffer
as a parameter
* res_end(): this callback is called once we finished to receive
the response.
Initialize a proxy which contain a server for the raw HTTP, and another
one for the HTTPS. This proxy will use the global server log definition
and the 'option httplog' directive.
This proxy is internal and will only be used for the HTTP Client API.
The wording regarding Host vs :authority in RFC7540 is ambiguous as it
says that an intermediary must produce a host header from :authority if
Host is missing, but, contrary to HTTP/1.1, doesn't say anything regarding
the possibility that Host and :authority differ, which leaves Host with
higher precedence there. In addition it mentions that clients should use
:authority *instead* of Host, and that H1->H2 should use :authority only
if the original request was in authority form. This leaves some gray
area in the middle of the chain for fully valid H2 requests arboring a
Host header that are forwarded to the other side where it's possible to
drop the Host header and use the authority only after forwarding to a
second H2 layer, thus possibly seeing two different values of Host at
a different stage. There's no such issue when forwarding from H2 to H1
as the authority is dropped only only the Host is kept.
Note that the following request is sufficient to re-normalize such a
request:
http-request set-header host %[req.hdr(host)]
The new spec in progress (draft-ietf-httpbis-http2bis-03) addresses
this trouble by being a bit is stricter on these rules. It clarifies
that :authority must always be used instead of Host and that Host ought
to be ignored. This is much saner as it avoids to convey two distinct
values along the chain. This becomes the protocol-level equivalent of:
http-request set-uri %[url]
So this patch does exactly this, which we were initially a bit reluctant
to do initially by lack of visibility about other implementations'
expectations. In addition it slightly simplifies the Host header field
creation by always placing it first in the list of headers instead of
last; this could also speed up the look up a little bit.
This needs to be backported to 2.0. Non-HTX versions are safe regarding
this because they drop the URI during the conversion to HTTP/1.1 so
only Host is used and transmitted.
Thanks to Tim Dsterhus for reporting that one.
Before HTX was introduced, all the HTTP request elements passed in
pseudo-headers fields were used to build an HTTP/1 request whose syntax
was then scrutinized by the HTTP/1 parser, leaving no room to inject
invalid characters.
While NUL, CR and LF are properly blocked, it is possible to inject
spaces in the method so that once translated to HTTP/1, fields are
shifted by one spcae, and a lenient HTTP/1 server could possibly be
fooled into using a part of the method as the URI. For example, the
following request:
H2 request
:method: "GET /admin? HTTP/1.1"
:path: "/static/images"
would become:
GET /admin? HTTP/1.1 /static/images HTTP/1.1
It's important to note that the resulting request is *not* valid, and
that in order for this to be a problem, it requires that this request
is delivered to an already vulnerable HTTP/1 server.
A workaround here is to reject malformed methods by placing this rule
in the frontend or backend, at least before leaving haproxy in H1:
http-request reject if { method -m reg [^A-Z0-9] }
Alternately H2 may be globally disabled by commenting out the "alpn"
directive on "bind" lines, and by rejecting H2 streams creation by
adding the following statement to the global section:
tune.h2.max-concurrent-streams 0
This patch adds a check for each character of the method to make sure
they belong to the ones permitted in a token, as mentioned in RFC7231#4.1.
This should be backported to versions 2.0 and above. For older versions
not having HTX_FL_PARSING_ERROR, a "goto fail" works as well as it
results in a protocol error at the stream level. Non-HTX versions are
safe because the resulting invalid request will be rejected by the
internal HTTP/1 parser.
Thanks to Tim Dsterhus for reporting that one.
Tim Dsterhus found that while the H2 path is checked for non-emptiness,
invalid chars and '*', a test is missing to verify that except for '*',
it always starts with exactly one '/'. During the reconstruction of the
full URI when passing to HTX, this missing test allows to affect the
apparent authority by appending a port number or a suffix name.
This only affects H2-to-H2 communications, as H2-to-H1 do not use the
full URI. Like for previous fix, the following rule inserted before
other ones in the frontend is sufficient to renormalize the internal
URI and let haproxy see the same authority as the target server:
http-request set-uri %[url]
This needs to be backported to 2.2. Earlier versions do not rebuild a
full URI using the authority and will fail on the malformed path at the
HTTP layer, so they are safe.
While we do explicitly check for strict character sets in the scheme,
this is only done when extracting URL components from an assembled one,
and we have special handling for "http" and "https" schemes directly in
the H2-to-HTX conversion. Sadly, this lets all other ones pass through
if they start exactly with "http://" or "https://", allowing the
reconstructed URI to start with a different looking authority if it was
part of the scheme.
It's interesting to note that in this case the valid authority is in
the Host header and that the request will only be wrong if emitted over
H2 on the backend side, since H1 will not emit an absolute URI by
default and will drop the scheme. So in essence, this is a variant of
the scheme-based attack described below in that it only affects H2-H2
and not H2-H1 forwarding:
https://portswigger.net/research/http2
As such, a simple workaround consists in just inserting the following
rule before other ones in the frontend, which will have for effect to
renormalize the authority in the request line according to the
concatenated version (making haproxy see the same authority and host
as what the target server will see):
http-request set-uri %[url]
This patch simply adds the missing syntax checks for non-http/https
schemes before the concatenation in the H2 code. An improvement may
consist in the future in splitting these ones apart in the start
line so that only the "url" sample fetch function requires to access
them together and that all other places continue to access them
separately. This will then allow the core code to perform such checks
itself.
The patch needs to be backported as far as 2.2. Before 2.2 the full
URI was not being reconstructed so the scheme and authority part were
always dropped from H2 requests to leave only origin requests. Note
for backporters: this depends on this previous patch:
MINOR: http: add a new function http_validate_scheme() to validate a scheme
Many thanks to Tim Dsterhus for figuring that one and providing a
reproducer.
While http_parse_scheme() extracts a scheme from a URI by extracting
exactly the valid characters and stopping on delimiters, this new
function performs the same on a fixed-size string.
txn functions can now be called from an action or a filter context. Thus the
return code must be adapted depending on this context. From an action, act.ABORT
is returned. From a filter, -1 is returned. It is the filter error code.
This bug only affects 2.5-dev. No backport needed.
CF_FLT_ANALYZE flags may be set before the FLT_END analyser. Thus if an error is
triggered in the mean time, this may block the stream and prevent it to be
released. It is indeed a problem only for the response channel because the
response analysers may be skipped on early errors.
So, to prevent any issue, depending on the code path, the FLT_END analyser is
systematically set when the CF_FLT_ANALYZE flag is set.
This patch must be backported in all stable branches.
The internal proxies should be part of the proxies list, because of
this, the check_config_validity() fonction could emit warnings about
these proxies.
This patch disables 3 startup warnings for internal proxies:
- "has no 'bind' directive" (this one was already ignored for the CLI
frontend, but we made it generic instead)
- "missing timeouts"
- "log format ignored"
User reported that the config check returns an error with the message:
"Configuration file has no error but will not start (no listener) => exit(2)."
if the configuration present only a log-forward section with bind or dgram-bind
listeners but no listen/backend nor peer sections.
The process checked if there was 'peers' section avalaible with
an internal frontend (and so a listener) or a 'listen/backend'
section not disabled with at least one configured listener (into the
global proxies_list). Since the log-forward proxies appear in a
different list, they were not checked.
This patch adds a lookup on the 'log-forward' proxies list to check
if one of them presents a listener and is not disabled. And
this is done only if there was no available listener found into
'listen/backend' sections.
I have also studied how to re-work this check considering the 'listeners'
counter used after startup/init to keep the same algo and avoid further
mistakes but currently this counter seems increased during config parsing
and if a proxy is disabled, decreased during startup/init which is done
after the current config check. So the fix still not rely on this
counter.
This patch should fix the github issue #1346
This patch should be backported as far as 2.3 (so on branches
including the "log-forward" feature)
When a lua filter declaration is parsed, some allocation errors were not
properly handled. In addition, we must be sure the filter identifier is defined
in lua to duplicate it when the filter configuration is filled.
This patch fix a defect reported in the issue #1347. It only concerns
2.5-dev. No backport needed.
In Channel and HTTPMessage classes, several functions uses an offset that
may be negative to start from the end of incoming data. But, after
calculation, the offset must never be negative. However, there is a bug
because of a bad cast to unsigned when "input + offset" is performed. The
result must be a signed integer.
This patch should fix most of defects reported in the issue #1347. It only
affects 2.5-dev. No backport needed.
Now an HTTPMessage class is available to manipulate HTTP message from a filter
it is possible to bind HTTP filters callback function on lua functions. Thus,
following methods may now be defined by a lua filter:
* Filter:http_headers(txn, http_msg)
* Filter:http_payload(txn, http_msg, offset, len)
* Filter:http_end(txn, http_msg)
http_headers() and http_end() may return one of the constant filter.CONTINUE,
filter.WAIT or filter.ERROR. If nothing is returned, filter.CONTINUE is used as
the default value. On its side, http_payload() may return the amount of data to
forward. If nothing is returned, all incoming data are forwarded.
For now, these functions are not allowed to yield because this interferes with
the filter workflow.
When a lua TXN is created from a filter context, the request and the response
HTTP message objects are accessible from ".http_req" and ".http_res" fields. For
an HTTP proxy, these objects are always defined. Otherwise, for a TCP proxy, no
object is created and nil is used instead. From any other context (action or
sample fetch), these fields don't exist.
This new class exposes methods to manipulate HTTP messages from a filter
written in lua. Like for the HTTP class, there is a bunch of methods to
manipulate the message headers. But there are also methods to manipulate the
message payload. This part is similar to what is available in the Channel
class. Thus the payload can be duplicated, erased, modified or
forwarded. For now, only DATA blocks can be retrieved and modified because
the current API is limited. No HTTPMessage method is able to yield. Those
manipulating the headers are always called on messages containing all the
headers, so there is no reason to yield. Those manipulating the payload are
called from the http_payload filters callback function where yielding is
forbidden.
When an HTTPMessage object is instantiated, the underlying Channel object
can be retrieved via the ".channel" field.
For now this class is not used because the HTTP filtering is not supported
yet. It will be the purpose of another commit.
There is no documentation for now.
It is now possible to write some filter callback functions in lua. All
filter callbacks are not supported yet but the mechanism to call them is now
in place. Following method may be defined in the Lua filter class to be
bound on filter callbacks:
* Filter:start_analyse(txn, chn)
* Filter:end_analyse(txn, chn)
* Filter:tcp_payload(txn, chn, offset, length)
hlua_filter_callback() function is responsible to call the good lua function
depending on the filter callback function. Using some flags it is possible
to allow a lua call to yield or not, to retrieve a return value or not, and
to specify if a channel or an http message must be passed as second
argument. For now, the HTTP part has not been added yet. It is also possible
to add extra argument adding them on the stack before the call.
3 new functions are exposed by the global object "filter". The first one,
filter.wake_time(ms_delay), to set the wake_time when a Lua callback
function yields (if allowed). The two others,
filter.register_data_filter(filter, chn) and
filter.unregister_data_filter(filter, chn), to enable or disable the data
filtering on a channel for a specific lua filter instance.
start_analyse() and end_analyse() may return one of the constant
filter.CONTINUE, filter.WAIT or filter.ERROR. If nothing is returned,
filter.CONTINUE is used as the default value. On its side, tcp_payload() may
return the amount of data to forward. If nothing is returned, all incoming
data are forwarded.
For now, these functions are not allowed to yield because this interferes
with the filter workflow.
Here is a simple example :
MyFilter = {}
MyFilter.id = "My Lua filter"
MyFilter.flags = filter.FLT_CFG_FL_HTX
MyFilter.__index = MyFilter
function MyFilter:new()
flt = {}
setmetatable(flt, MyFilter)
flt.req_len = 0
flt.res_len = 0
return flt
end
function MyFilter:start_analyze(txn, chn)
filter.register_data_filter(self, chn)
end
function MyFilter:end_analyze(txn, chn)
print("<Total> request: "..self.req_len.." - response: "..self.res_len)
end
function MyFilter:tcp_payload(txn, chn)
offset = chn:ouput()
len = chn:input()
if chn:is_resp() then
self.res_len = self.res_len + len
print("<TCP:Response> offset: "..offset.." - length: "..len)
else
self.req_len = self.req_len + len
print("<TCP:Request> offset: "..offset.." - length: "..len)
end
end
For filters written in lua, the tcp payloads will be filtered using methods
exposed by the Channel class. So the corrsponding C binding functions must
be prepared to process payload in a filter context and not only in an action
context.
The main change is the offset where to start to process data in the channel
buffer, and the length of these data. For an action, all input data are
considered. But for a filter, it depends on what the filter is allow to
forward when the tcp_payload callback function is called. It depends on
previous calls but also on other filters.
In addition, when the payload is modified by a lua filter, its context must
be updated. Note also that channel functions cannot yield when called from a
filter context.
For now, it is not possible to define callbacks to filter data and the
documentation has not been updated.
A lua TXN can be created when a sample fetch, an action or a filter callback
function is executed. A flag is now used to track the execute context.
Respectively, HLUA_TXN_SMP_CTX, HLUA_TXN_ACT_CTX and HLUA_TXN_FLT_CTX. The
filter flag is not used for now.
For now, there is no support for filters written in lua. So this function,
if called, will always return NULL. But when it will be called in a filter
context, it will return the filter structure attached to a channel
class. This function is also responsible to set the offset of data that may
be processed and the length of these data. When called outside a filter
context (so from an action), the offset is the input data position and the
length is the input data length. From a filter, the offset and the length of
data that may be filtered are retrieved the filter context.
It is now possible to write dummy filters in lua. Only the basis to declare
such filters has been added for now. There is no way to declare callbacks to
filter anything. Lua filters are for now empty nutshells.
To do so, core.register_filter() must be called, with 3 arguments, the
filter's name (as it appears in HAProxy config), the lua class that will be
used to instantiate filters and a function to parse arguments passed on the
filter line in HAProxy configuration file. The lua filter class must at
least define the method new(), without any extra args, to create new
instances when streams are created. If this method is not found, the filter
will be ignored.
Here is a template to declare a new Lua filter:
// haproxy.conf
global
lua-load /path/to/my-filter.lua
...
frontend fe
...
filter lua.my-lua-filter arg1 arg2 arg3
filter lua.my-lua-filter arg4 arg5
// my-filter.lua
MyFilter = {}
MyFilter.id = "My Lua filter" -- the filter ID (optional)
MyFilter.flags = filter.FLT_CFG_FL_HTX -- process HTX streams (optional)
MyFilter.__index = MyFilter
function MyFilter:new()
flt = {}
setmetatable(flt, MyFilter)
-- Set any flt fields. self.args can be used
flt.args = self.args
return flt -- The new instance of Myfilter
end
core.register_filter("my-lua-filter", MyFilter, function(filter, args)
-- process <args>, an array of strings. For instance:
filter.args = args
return filter
end)
In this example, 2 filters are declared using the same lua class. The
parsing function is called for both, with its own copy of the lua class. So
each filter will be unique.
The global object "filter" exposes some constants and flags, and later some
functions, to help writting filters in lua.
Internally, when a lua filter is instantiated (so when new() method is
called), 2 lua contexts are created, one for the request channel and another
for the response channel. It is a prerequisite to let some callbacks yield
on one side independently on the other one.
There is no documentation for now.
First of all, following functions are now considered deprecated:
* Channel:dup()
* Channel:get()
* Channel:getline()
* Channel:get_in_len()
* Cahnnel:get_out_len()
It is just informative, there is no warning and functions may still be
used. Howver it is recommended to use new functions. New functions are more
flexible and use a better naming pattern. In addition, the same names will
be used in the http_msg class to manipulate http messages from lua filters.
The new API is:
* Channel:data()
* Channel:line()
* Channel:append()
* Channel:prepend()
* Channel:insert()
* Channel:remove()
* Channel:set()
* Channel:input()
* Channel:output()
* Channel:send()
* Channel:forward()
* Channel:is_resp()
* Channel:is_full()
* Channel:may_recv()
The lua documentation was updated accordingly.
The main change is that following functions will now process channel's data
using an offset and a length:
* hlua_channel_dup_yield()
* hlua_channel_get_yield()
* hlua_channel_getline_yield()
* hlua_channel_append_yield()
* hlua_channel_set()
* hlua_channel_send_yield()
* hlua_channel_forward_yield()
So for now, the offset is always the input data position and the length is
the input data length. But with the support for filters, from a filter
context, these values will be relative to the filter.
To make all processing clearer, the function _hlua_channel_dup() has been
updated and _hlua_channel_dupline(), _hlua_channel_insert() and
_hlua_channel_delete() have been added.
This patch is mandatory to allow the support of the filters written in lua.
The hlua_checktable() function may now be used to create and return a
reference on a table in stack, given its position. This function ensures it
is really a table and throws an exception if not.
This patch is mandatory to allow the support of the filters written in lua.
Lua functions to set or append data to the input part of a channel must not
yield because new data may be received while the lua script is suspended. So
adding data to the input part in several passes is highly unpredicatble and
may be interleaved with received data.
Note that if necessary, it is still possible to suspend a lua action by
returning act.YIELD. This way the whole action will be reexecuted later
because of I/O events or a timer. Another solution is to call core.yield().
This bug affects all stable versions. So, it may be backported. But it is
probably not necessary because nobody notice it till now.
When a script is executed, it is not always allowed to yield. Lua sample
fetches and converters cannot yield. For lua actions, it depends on the
context. When called from tcp content ruleset, an action may yield until the
expiration of the inspect-delay timeout. From http rulesets, yield is not
possible.
Thus, when channel functions (dup, get, append, send...) are called, instead
of yielding when it is not allowed and triggering an error, we just give
up. In this case, some functions do nothing (dup, append...), some others
just interrupt the in-progress job (send, forward...). But, because these
functions don't yield anymore when it is not allowed, the script regains the
control and can continue its execution.
This patch depends on "MINOR: lua: Add a flag on lua context to know the
yield capability at run time". Both may be backported in all stable
versions. However, because nobody notice this bug till now, it is probably
not necessary, excepted if someone ask for it.
When a script is executed, a flag is used to allow it to yield. An error is
returned if a lua function yield, explicitly or not. But there is no way to
get this capability in C functions. So there is no way to choose to yield or
not depending on this capability.
To fill this gap, the flag HLUA_NOYIELD is introduced and added on the lua
context if the current script execution is not authorized to yield. Macros
to set, clear and test this flags are also added.
This feature will be usefull to fix some bugs in lua actions execution.
When at least one filter is registered on a stream, the FLT_END analyzer is
called on both direction when all other analyzers have finished their
processing. During this step, filters may release any allocated elements if
necessary. So it is important to not skip it.
Unfortunately, if both stream interfaces are closed, it is possible to not
wait the end of this analyzer. It is possible to be in this situation if a
filter must wait and prevents the analyzer completion. To fix the bug, we
now wait FLT_END analyzer is no longer registered on both direction before
releasing the stream.
This patch may be backported as far as 1.7, but AFAIK, no filter is affected
by this bug. So the backport seems to be optional for now. In any case, it
should remain under observation for some weeks first.
In tcpcheck_eval_send(), the condition to detect there are still pending
data in the output buffer is buggy. Presence of raw data must be tested for
TCP connection only. But a condition on the connection was missing to be
sure it is not an HTX connection.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.2.
The formatting of the buffer_dump() output must be calculated using the
relative counter, not the absolute one, or everything will be broken if
the <from> variable is not a multiple of 16.
Could be backported in all maintained versions.
A static server is able to support simultaneously both health chech and
agent-check. Adjust the dynamic server CLI handlers to also support this
configuration.
This should not be backported, unless dynamic server checks are
backported.
There is currently a leak on agent-check for dynamic servers. When
deleted, the check rules and vars are not liberated. This leak grows
each time a dynamic server with agent-check is deleted.
Replace the manual purge code by a free_check invocation which
centralizes all the details on check cleaning.
There is no leak for health check because in this case the proxy is the
owner of the check vars and rules.
This should not be backported, unless dynamic server checks are
backported.
If an error occured during a dynamic server creation, free_check is used
to liberate a possible agent-check. However, this does not free
associated vars and rules associated as this is done on another function
named deinit_srv_agent_check.
To simplify the check free and avoid a leak, move free vars/rules in
free_check. This is valid because deinit_srv_agent_check also uses
free_check.
This operation is done only for an agent-check because for a health
check, the proxy instance is the owner of check vars/rules.
This should not be backported, unless dynamic server checks are
backported.
Do not reset check flags when setting CHK_ST_PURGE.
Currently, this change has no impact. However, it is semantically wrong
to clear important flags such as CHK_ST_AGENT on purge.
Furthermore, this change will become mandatoy for a future fix to
properly free agent checks on dynamic servers removal. For this, it will
be needed to differentiate health/agent-check on purge via CHK_ST_AGENT
to properly free agent checks.
This must not be backported unless dynamic servers checks are
backported.
Currently there is a leak at process shutdown with dynamic servers with
check/agent-check activated. Check purges are not executed on process
stopping, so the server is not liberated due to its refcount.
The solution is simply to ignore the refcount on process stopping mode
and free the server on the first free_server invocation.
This should not be backported, unless dynamic server checks are
backported. In this case, the following commit must be backported first.
7afa5c1843
MINOR: global: define MODE_STOPPING
Test if server is not null before using free_server in the check purge
operation. Currently, the null server scenario should not occured as
purge is used with refcounted dynamic servers. However, this might not
be always the case if purge is use in the future in other cases; thus
the test is useful for extensibility.
No need to backport, unless dynamic server checks are backported.
This has been reported through a coverity report in github issue #1343.
This commit is the counterpart for agent check of
"MEDIUM: server: implement check for dynamic servers".
The "agent-check" keyword is enabled for dynamic servers. The agent
check must manually be activated via "enable agent" CLI. This can
enable the dynamic server if the agent response is "ready" without an
explicit "enable server" CLI.
Implement check support for dynamic servers. The "check" keyword is now
enabled for dynamic servers. If used, the server check is initialized
and the check task started in the "add server" CLI handler. The check is
explicitely disabled and must be manually activated via "enable health"
CLI handler.
The dynamic server refcount is incremented if a check is configured. On
"delete server" handler, the check is purged, which decrements the
refcount.
Implement a collection of keywords deemed safe and useful to dynamic
servers. The list of the supported keywords is :
- addr
- check-proto
- check-send-proxy
- check-via-socks4
- rise
- fall
- fastinter
- downinter
- port
- agent-addr
- agent-inter
- agent-port
- agent-send
Implement a mechanism to free a started check on runtime for dynamic
servers. A new function check_purge is created for this. The check task
will be marked for deletion and scheduled to properly close connection
elements and free the task/tasklet/buf_wait elements.
This function will be useful to delete a dynamic server wich checks.
It is necessary to have a refcount mechanism on dynamic servers to be
able to enable check support. Indeed, when deleting a dynamic server
with check activated, the check will be asynchronously removed. This is
mandatory to properly free the check resources in a thread-safe manner.
The server instance must be kept alive for this.
global maxsock is used to estimate a number of fd to reserve for
internal use, such as checks. It is incremented at startup with the info
from the config file.
Disable this incrementation in checks functions at runtime. First, it
currently serves no purpose to increment it after startup. Worse, it may
lead to out-of-bound accesse on the fdtab.
This will be useful to initiate checks for dynamic servers.
Remove static qualifier on init_srv_check, init_srv_agent_check and
start_check_task. These functions will be called in server.c for dynamic
servers with checks.
Allocate default tcp ruleset for every backend without explicit rules
defined, even if no server in the backend use check. This change is
required to implement checks for dynamic servers.
This allocation is done on check_config_validity. It must absolutely be
called before check_proxy_tcpcheck (called via post proxy check) which
allocate the implicit tcp connect rule.
Implement an equivalent of task_kill for tasklets. This function can be
used to request a tasklet deletion in a thread-safe way.
Currently this function is unused.
Remove the "DEPRECATED" marker on "enable/disable health/agent"
commands. Their purpose is to toggle the check/agent on a server.
These commands are still useful because their purpose is not covered by
the "set server" command. Most there was confusion with the commands
'set server health/agent', which in fact serves another goal.
Note that the indication "use 'set server' instead" has been added since
2016 on the commit
2c04eda8b5
REORG: cli: move "{enable|disable} health" to server.c
and
58d9cb7d22
REORG: cli: move "{enable|disable} agent" to server.c
Besides, these commands will become required to enable check/agent on
dynamic servers which will be created with check disabled.
This should be backported up to 2.4.
It is the second part of the fix that should solve fairness issues with the
connections management inside the SPOE filter. Indeed, in multithreaded
mode, when the SPOE detects there are some connections in queue on a server,
it closes existing connections by releasing SPOE applets. It is mandatory
when a maxconn is set because few connections on a thread may prenvent new
connections establishment.
The first attempt to fix this bug (9e647e5af "BUG/MEDIUM: spoe: Kill applets
if there are pending connections and nbthread > 1") introduced a bug. In
pipelining mode, SPOE applets might be closed while some frames are pending
for the ACK reply. To fix the bug, in the processing stage, if there are
some connections in queue, only truly idle applets may process pending
requests. In this case, only one request at a time is processed. And at the
end of the processing stage, only truly idle applets may be released. It is
an empirical workaround, but it should be good enough to solve contention
issues when a low maxconn is set.
This patch should partely fix the issue #1340. It must be backported as far
as 2.0.
On a thread, when the last SPOE applet is released, if there are still
pending streams, a new one is created. Of course, HAproxy must not be
stopping. It is important to start a new applet in this case to not abort
in-progress jobs, especially when a maxconn is set. Because applets may be
closed to be fair with connections waiting for a free slot.
This patch should partely fix the issue #1340. It depends on the commit
"MINOR: spoe: Create a SPOE applet if necessary when the last one on a
thread is closed". Both must be backported as far as 2.0.
There was no way to access the SPOE filter configuration from the agent
object. However it could be handy to have it. And in fact, this will be
required to fix a bug.
Nenad noticed that when leaving maintenance, the servers' last_change
field was not updated. This is visible in the Status column of the stats
page in front of the state, as the cumuled time spent in the current state
is wrong, it starts from the last transition (typically ready->maint). In
addition, the backend's state was not updated either, because the down
transition is performed by set_backend_down() which also emits a log, and
it is this function which was extended to update the backend's last_change,
but it's not called for down->up transitions so that was not done.
The most visible (and unpleasant) effect of this bug is that it affects
slowstart so such a server could immediately restart with a significant
load ratio.
This should likely be backported to all stable releases.
Right now we're using a DWCAS to atomically set the running_mask while
being constrained by the thread_mask. This DWCAS is annoying because we
may seriously need it later when adding support for thread groups, for
checking that the running_mask applies to the correct group.
It turns out that the DWCAS is not strictly necessary because we never
need it to set the thread_mask based on the running_mask, only the other
way around. And in fact, the running_mask is always cleared alone, and
the thread_mask is changed alone as well. The running_mask is only
relevant to indicate a takeover when the thread_mask matches it. Any
bit set in running and not present in thread_mask indicates a transition
in progress.
As such, it is possible to re-arrange this by using a regular CAS around a
consistency check between running_mask and thread_mask in fd_update_events
and by making a CAS on running_mask then an atomic store on the thread_mask
in fd_takeover(). The only other case is fd_delete() but that one already
sets the running_mask before clearing the thread_mask, which is compatible
with the consistency check above.
This change has happily survived 10 billion takeovers on a 16-thread
machine at 800k requests/s.
The fd-migration doc was updated to reflect this change.
This one is set whenever an FD is reported by a poller with a null owner,
regardless of the thread_mask. It has become totally meaningless because
it only indicates a migrated FD that was not yet reassigned to a thread,
but as soon as a thread uses it, the status will change to skip_fd. Thus
there is no reason to distinguish between the two, it adds more confusion
than it helps. Let's simply drop it.
If an error occured during the CLI 'add server' handler, the newly
created server must be removed from the proxy list if already inserted.
Currently, this can happen on the extremely rare error during server id
generation if there is no id left.
The removal operation is not thread-safe, it must be conducted before
releasing the thread isolation.
This can be backported up to 2.4. Please note that dynamic server track
is not implemented in 2.4, so the release_server_track invocation must
be removed for the backport to prevent a compilation error.
In 2.4, runtime server deletion was brought by commit e558043e1 ("MINOR:
server: implement delete server cli command"). A comment remained in the
code about a theoretical race between the thread_isolate() call and another
thread being in the process of allocating memory before accessing the
server via a reference that was grabbed before the memory allocation,
since the thread_harmless_now()/thread_harmless_end() pair around mmap()
may have the effect of allowing cli_parse_delete_server() to proceed.
Now that the full thread isolation is available, let's update the code
to rely on this. Now it is guaranteed that competing threads will either
be in the poller or queued in front of thread_isolate_full().
This may be backported to 2.4 if any report of breakage suggests the bug
really exists, in which case the two following patches will also be
needed:
MINOR: threads: make thread_release() not wait for other ones to complete
MEDIUM: threads: add a stronger thread_isolate_full() call
The current principle of running under isolation was made to access
sensitive data while being certain that no other thread was using them
in parallel, without necessarily having to place locks everywhere. The
main use case are "show sess" and "show fd" which run over long chains
of pointers.
The thread_isolate() call relies on the "harmless" bit that indicates
for a given thread that it's not currently doing such sensitive things,
which is advertised using thread_harmless_now() and which ends usings
thread_harmless_end(), which also waits for possibly concurrent threads
to complete their work if they took this opportunity for starting
something tricky.
As some system calls were notoriously slow (e.g. mmap()), a bunch of
thread_harmless_now() / thread_harmless_end() were placed around them
to let waiting threads do their work while such other threads were not
able to modify memory contents.
But this is not sufficient for performing memory modifications. One such
example is the server deletion code. By modifying memory, it not only
requires that other threads are not playing with it, but are not either
in the process of touching it. The fact that a pool_alloc() or pool_free()
on some structure may call thread_harmless_now() and let another thread
start to release the same object's memory is not acceptable.
This patch introduces the concept of "idle threads". Threads entering
the polling loop are idle, as well as those that are waiting for all
others to become idle via the new function thread_isolate_full(). Once
thread_isolate_full() is granted, the thread is not idle anymore, and
it is released using thread_release() just like regular isolation. Its
users have to keep in mind that across this call nothing is granted as
another thread might have performed shared memory modifications. But
such users are extremely rare and are actually expecting this from their
peers as well.
Note that that in case of backport, this patch depends on previous patch:
MINOR: threads: make thread_release() not wait for other ones to complete
The original intent of making thread_release() wait for other requesters to
proceed was more of a fairness trade, guaranteeing that a thread that was
granted an access to the CPU would be in turn giving back once its job is
done. But this is counter-productive as it forces such threads to spin
instead of going back to the poller, and it prevents us from implementing
multiple levels of guarantees, as a thread_release() call could spin
waiting for another requester to pass while that requester expects
stronger guarantees than the current thread may be able to offer.
Let's just remove that wait period and let the thread go back to the
poller, a-la "race to idle".
While in theory it could possibly slightly increase the perceived
latency of concurrent slow operations like "show fd" or "show sess",
it is not the case at all in tests, probably because the time needed
to reach the poller remains extremely low anyway.
Probably due to a copy-paste, there were two indent levels in this function
since its introduction in 1.9 by commit 60b639ccb ("MEDIUM: hathreads:
implement a more flexible rendez-vous point"). Let's fix this.
If an error occurs during a dynamic server creation with tracking, it
must be removed from the tracked list. This operation is not thread-safe
and thus must be conducted under the thread isolation.
Track support for dynamic servers has been introduced in this release.
This does not need to be backported.
Previous patch b5c0d65 ("MINOR: proxy: disabled takes a stopping and a
disabled state") allows us to set 2 states for a stopped or a disabled
proxy. With this patch we are now able to show the stats of all proxies
when the process is in a stopping states, not only when there is some
activity on a proxy.
This patch should fix issue #1307.
This patch splits the disabled state of a proxy into a PR_DISABLED and a
PR_STOPPED state.
The first one is set when the proxy is disabled in the configuration
file, and the second one is set upon a stop_proxy().
Rename the 'dontloglegacyconnerr' option to 'log-error-via-logformat'
which is much more self-explanatory and readable.
Note: only legacy keywords don't use hyphens, it is recommended to
separate words with them in new keywords.
update_freq_ctr_period() was using relaxed atomics without using barriers,
which usually works fine on x86 but not everywhere else. In addition, some
values were read without being enclosed by barriers, allowing the compiler
to possibly prefetch them a bit earlier. Finally, freq_ctr_total() was also
reading these without enough barriers. Let's make explicit use of atomic
loads and atomic stores to get rid of this situation. This required to
slightly rearrange the freq_ctr_total() loop, which could possibly slightly
improve performance under extreme contention by avoiding to reread all
fields.
A backport may be done to 2.4 if a problem is encountered, but last tests
on arm64 with LSE didn't show any issue so this can possibly stay as-is.
This function already performs a number of checks prior to calling the
IOCB, and detects the change of thread (FD migration). Half of the
controls are still in each poller, and these pollers also maintain
activity counters for various cases.
Note that the unreliable test on thread_mask was removed so that only
the one performed by fd_set_running() is now used, since this one is
reliable.
Let's centralize all that fd-specific logic into the function and make
it return a status among:
FD_UPDT_DONE, // update done, nothing else to be done
FD_UPDT_DEAD, // FD was already dead, ignore it
FD_UPDT_CLOSED, // FD was closed
FD_UPDT_MIGRATED, // FD was migrated, ignore it now
Some pollers already used to call it last and have nothing to do after
it, regardless of the result. epoll has to delete the FD in case a
migration is detected. Overall this removes more code than it adds.
If an MT-aware poller reports that a file descriptor was migrated, it
must stop reporting it. The simplest way to do this is to program an
update if not done yet. This will automatically mark the FD for update
on next round. Otherwise there's a risk that some events are reported
a bit too often and cause extra CPU usage with these pollers. Note
that epoll is currently OK regarding this. Select does not need this
because it uses a single shared events table, so in case of migration
no FD change is expected.
This should be backported as far as 2.2.
The skip_fd counter that is incremented when a migrated FD is reported
was abnormally high in with poll. The reason is that it was accounted
for before preparing the polled events instead of being measured from
the reported events.
This mistake was done when the counters were introduced in 1.9 with
commit d80cb4ee1 ("MINOR: global: add some global activity counters to
help debugging"). It may be backported as far as 2.0.
In 1.8, commit ab62f5195 ("MINOR: polling: Use fd_update_events to update
events seen for a fd") updated the pollers to rely on fd_update_events(),
but the modification delayed the test of presence of the FD in the report,
resulting in owner/thread_mask and possibly event updates being performed
for each FD appearing in a block of 32 FDs around an active one. This
caused the request rate to be ~3 times lower with select() than poll()
under 6 threads.
This can be backported as far as 1.8.
A bug was introduced in 2.1-dev2 by commit 305d5ab46 ("MAJOR: fd: Get
rid of the fd cache."). Pollers "poll" and "evport" had the sleeping
bit accidentally removed before the syscall instead of after. This
results in them not being woken up by inter-thread wakeups, which is
particularly visible with the multi-queue accept() and with queues.
As a work-around, when these pollers are used, "nbthread 1" should
be used.
The fact that it has remained broken for 2 years is a great indication
that threads are definitely not enabled outside of epoll and kqueue,
hence why this patch is only tagged medium.
This must be backported as far as 2.2.
In case of connection failure, a dedicated error message is output,
following the format described in section "Error log format" of the
documentation. These messages cannot be configured through a log-format
option.
This patch adds a new option, "dontloglegacyconnerr", that disables
those error logs when set, and "replaces" them by a regular log line
that follows the configured log-format (thanks to a call to sess_log in
session_kill_embryonic).
The new fc_conn_err sample fetch allows to add the legacy error log
information into a regular log format.
This new option is unset by default so the logging logic will remain the
same until this new option is used.
This new sample fetch along the ssl_fc_hsk_err_str fetch contain the
last SSL error of the error stack that occurred during the SSL
handshake (from the frontend's perspective). The errors happening during
the client's certificate verification will still be given by the
ssl_c_err and ssl_c_ca_err fetches. This new fetch will only hold errors
retrieved by the OpenSSL ERR_get_error function.
The ssl_c_err, ssl_c_ca_err and ssl_c_ca_err_depth sample fetches values
were not recoverable when the connection failed because of the test
"conn->flags & CO_FL_WAIT_XPRT" (which required the connection to be
established). They could then not be used in a log-format since whenever
they would have sent a non-null value, the value fetching was disabled.
This patch ensures that all these values can be fetched in case of
connection failure.
The fc_conn_err and fc_conn_err_str sample fetches give information
about the problem that made the connection fail. This information would
previously only have been given by the error log messages meaning that
thanks to these fetches, the error log can now be included in a custom
log format. The log strings were all found in the conn_err_code_str
function.
Cleanup the mworker_cli_proxy_create() function by removing the
allocation and init of the proxy which is done manually, and replace it
by alloc_new_proxy(). Do the same with the free_proxy() function.
This patch also move the insertion at the end of the function.
Disable the output of the statistics of internal proxies (PR_CAP_INT),
wo we don't rely only on the px->uuid > 0. This will allow to hide more
cleanly the internal proxies in the stats.
This patch renames the proxy capability "LUA" to "INT" so it could be
used for any internal proxy.
Every proxy that are not user defined should use this flag.
This part was fixed several times since commit aade4edc1 ("BUG/MEDIUM:
mux-h2: Don't handle pending read0 too early on streams") and there are
still some cases where a read0 event may be ignored because a partial frame
inhibits the event.
Here, we must take care to set H2_CF_END_REACHED flag if a read0 was
received while a partial frame header is received or if the padding length
is missing.
To ease partial frame detection, H2_CF_DEM_SHORT_READ flag is introduced. It
is systematically removed when some data are received and is set when a
partial frame is found or when dbuf buffer is empty. At the end of the
demux, if the connection must be closed ASAP or if data are missing to move
forward, we may acknowledge the pending read0 event, if any. For now,
H2_CF_DEM_SHORT_READ is not part of H2_CF_DEM_BLOCK_ANY mask.
This patch should fix the issue #1328. It must be backported as far as 2.0.
The splicing does not work anymore because the H1 connection is not swap to
splice mode when rcv_pipe() callback function is called. It is important to
set H1C_F_WANT_SPLICE flag to inhibit data receipt via the buffer
API. Otherwise, because there are always data in the buffer, it is not
possible to use the kernel splicing.
This bug was introduced by the commit 2b861bf72 ("MINOR: mux-h1: clean up
conditions to enabled and disabled splicing").
The patch must be backported to 2.4.
If a connection is closed during the preface while no data are received, if
the dontlognull option is set, no log message must be emitted. However, this
will still be handled as a protocol error. Only the log is omitted.
This patch should fix the issue #1336 for H2 sessions. It must be backported
to 2.4 and 2.3 at least, and probably as far as 2.0.
If a H1 connection is closed while no data are received, if the dontlognull
option is set, no log message must be emitted. Because the H1 multiplexer
handles early errors, it must take care to obey this option. It is true for
400-Bad-Request, 408-Request-Time-out and 501-Not-Implemented
responses. 500-Internal-Server-Error responses are still logged.
This patch should fix the issue #1336 for H1 sessions. It must be backported
to 2.4.
Use non-checked function to retrieve listener/server via obj_type. This
is done as a previous obj_type function ensure that the type is well
known and the instance is not NULL.
Incidentally, this should prevent the coverity report from the #1335
github issue which warns about a possible NULL dereference.
When we evaluate a DNS response item, it may be necessary to look for a
server with a hostname matching the item target into the named servers
tree. To do so, the item target is transformed to a lowercase string. It
must be a null-terminated string. Thus we must explicitly set the trailing
'\0' character.
For a specific resolution, the named servers tree contains all servers using
this resolution with a hostname loaded from a state file. Because of this
bug, same entry may be duplicated because we are unable to find the right
server, assigning this way the item to a free server slot.
This patch should fix the issue #1333. It must be backported as far as 2.2.
Commit 048368ef6 ("MINOR: deinit: always deinit the init_mutex on
failed initialization") added the missing unlock but forgot to
condition it on USE_THREAD, resulting in a build failure. No
backport is needed.
This addresses oss-fuzz issue 36426.
A config like the below fails to validate because of a bogus test:
backend b1
tcp-check connect port 1234
option tcp-check
server s1 1.2.3.4 check
[ALERT] (18887) : config : config: proxy 'b1': server 's1' has neither
service port nor check port, and a tcp_check rule
'connect' with no port information.
A || instead of a && only validates the connect rule when both the
address *and* the port are set. A work around is to set the rule like
this:
tcp-check connect addr 0:1234 port 1234
This needs to be backported as far as 2.2 (2.0 is OK).
Agent stats were lost during the stats refactoring performed in the 2.4 to
simplify the Prometheus exporter. stats_fill_sv_stats() function must fill
ST_F_AGENT_* and ST_F_LAST_AGT stats.
This patch should fix the issue #1331. It must be backported to 2.4.
Some ssl samples cause a segfault when the stream is not instantiated,
for example during an invalid HTTP request. A new check is added to
prevent the stream dereferencing if NULL.
This is the list of the affected samples :
- ssl_s_chain_der
- ssl_s_der
- ssl_s_i_dn
- ssl_s_key_alg
- ssl_s_notafter
- ssl_s_notbefore
- ssl_s_s_dn
- ssl_s_serial
- ssl_s_sha1
- ssl_s_sig_alg
- ssl_s_version
This bug can be reproduced easily by using one of these samples in a
log-format string. Emit an invalid HTTP request with an HTTP client to
trigger the crash.
This bug has been reported in redmine issue 3913.
This must be backported up to 2.2.
This undocumented variable is only for internal use, and its sole
presence affects the process' behavior, as shown in bug #1324. It must
not be exported to workers, external checks, nor programs. Let's unset
it before forking programs and workers.
This should be backported as far as 1.8. The worker code might differ
a bit before 2.5 due to the recent removal of multi-process support.
The master-worker code registers an exit handler to deal with configuration
issues during reload, leading to a restart of the master process in wait
mode. But it shouldn't do that when it's expected that the program stops
during config parsing or condition checks, as the reload operation is
unexpectedly called and results in abnormal behavior and even crashes:
$ HAPROXY_MWORKER_REEXEC=1 ./haproxy -W -c -f /dev/null

[WARNING] (18412) : config : Reexecuting Master process
Note that the presence of this variable happens by accident when haproxy
is called from within its own programs (see issue #1324), but this should
be the object of a separate fix.
This patch fixes this by preventing the atexit registration in such
situations. This should be backported as far as 1.8. MODE_CHECK_CONDITION
has to be dropped for versions prior to 2.5.
Oss-fuzz reports in issue 36328 that we can recurse too far by passing
extremely deep expressions to the ".if" parser. I thought we were still
limited to the 1024 chars per line, that would be highly sufficient, but
we don't have any limit now :-/
Let's just pass a maximum recursion counter to the recursive parsers.
It's decremented for each call and the expression fails if it reaches
zero. On the most complex paths it can add 3 levels per parenthesis,
so with a limit of 1024, that's roughly 343 nested sub-expressions that
are supported in the worst case. That's more than sufficient, for just
a few kB of RAM.
No backport is needed.
The init_mutex was not unlocked in case an error is encountered during
a thread initialization, and the polling loop was aborted during startup.
In practise it does not have any observable effect since an explicit
exit() is placed there, but it could confuse some debugging tools or
some static analysers, so let's release it as expected.
This addresses issue #1326.
Since last change on HTTP analysers (252412316 "MEDIUM: proxy: remove
long-broken 'option http_proxy'"), http_process_request() may only return
internal errors on failures. Thus the label used to handle bad requests may
be removed.
This patch should fix the issue #1330.
This option had always been broken in HTX, which means that the first
breakage appeared in 1.9, that it was broken by default in 2.0 and that
no workaround existed starting with 2.1. The way this option works is
praticularly unfit to the rest of the configuration and to the internal
architecture. It had some uses when it was introduced 14 years ago but
nowadays it's possible to do much better and more reliable using a
set of "http-request set-dst" and "http-request set-uri" rules, which
additionally are compatible with DNS resolution (via do-resolve) and
are not exclusive to normal load balancing. The "option-http_proxy"
example config file was updated to reflect this.
The option is still parsed so that an error message gives hints about
what to look for.
The cfg_free_cond_{term,and,expr}() functions used to take a pointer to
the pointer to be freed in order to replace it with a NULL once done.
But this doesn't cope well with freeing lists as it would require
recursion which the current code tried to avoid.
Let's just change the API to free the area and let the caller set the NULL.
This leak was reported by oss-fuzz (issue 36265).
While we do free the array containing the arguments, we do not free
allocated ones. Most of them are unresolved, but strings are allocated
and have to be freed as well. Note that for the sake of not breaking
the args resolution list that might have been set, we still refrain
from doing this if a resolution was already programmed, but for most
common cases (including the ones that can be found in config conditions
and at run time) we're safe.
This may be backported to stable branches, but it relies on the new
free_args() function that was introduced by commit ab213a5b6 ("MINOR:
arg: add a free_args() function to free an args array"), and which is
likely safe to backport as well.
This leak was reported by oss-fuzz (issue 36265).
The removal for the shared inter-process cache in commit 6fd0450b4
("CLEANUP: shctx: remove the different inter-process locking techniques")
accidentally removed the enforcement of rlimit_memmax_all which
corresponds to what is passed to the command-line "-m" argument.
Let's restore it.
Thanks to @nafets227 for spotting this. This fixes github issue #1319.
Now it's possible to form a term using parenthesis around an expression.
This will soon allow to build more complex expressions. For now they're
still pretty limited but parenthesis do work.
Now evaluating a condition will rely on an expression (or an empty string),
and this expression will support ORing a sub-expression with another
optional expression. The sub-expressions ANDs a term with another optional
sub-expression. With this alone precedence between && and || is respected,
and the following expression:
A && B && C || D || E && F || G
will naturally evaluate as:
(A && B && C) || D || (E && F) || G
It's not convenient to let the caller be responsible for node allocation,
better have the leaf function do that and implement the accompanying free
call. Now only a pointer is needed instead of a struct, and the leaf
function makes sure to leave the situation in a consistent way.
Till now we were dealing with single-word expressions but in order to
extend the configuration condition language a bit more, we'll need to
support slightly more complex expressions involving operators, and we
must absolutely support spaces around them to keep them readable.
As all arguments are pointers to the same line with spaces replaced by
zeroes, we can trivially rebuild the whole line before calling the
condition evaluator, and remove the test for extraneous argument. This
is what this patch does.
Random characters placed after a configuration predicate currently do
not report an error. This is a problem because extra parenthesis,
commas or even other random left-over chars may accidently appear there.
Let's now report an error when this happens.
This is marked MEDIUM because it may break otherwise working configs
which are faulty.
The purpose is to build a descendent parser that will split conditions
into expressions made of terms. There are two phases, a parsing phase
and an evaluation phase. Strictly speaking it's not required to cut
that in two right now, but it's likely that in the future we won't want
certain predicates to be evaluated during the parsing (e.g. file system
checks or execution of some external commands).
The cfg_eval_condition() function is now much simpler, it just tries to
parse a single term, and if OK evaluates it, then returns the result.
Errors are unchanged and may still be reported during parsing or
evaluation.
It's worth noting that some invalid expressions such as streq(a,b)zzz
continue to parse correctly for now (what remains after the parenthesis
is simply ignored as not necessary).
The .if/.else/.endif and condition evaluation code is quite dirty and
was dumped into cfgparse.c because it was easy. But it should be tidied
quite a bit as it will need to evolve.
Let's move all that to cfgcond.{c,h}.
Argument arrays used in hlua_lua2arg_check() as well as in the functions
used to call sample fetches and converters were manually released, let's
use the cleaner and more reliable free_args() instead. The prototype of
hlua_lua2arg_check() was amended to mention that the function relies on
the final ARGT_STOP, which is already the case, and the pointless test
for this was removed.
make_arg_list() can create an array of arguments, some of which remain
to be resolved, but all users had to deal with their own roll back on
error. Let's add a free_args() function to release all the array's
elements and let the caller deal with the array itself (sometimes it's
allocated in the stack).
I found myself a few times testing some conditoin examples from the doc
against command line's "-cc" to see that they didn't work with environment
variables expansion. Not being documented as being on purpose it looks like
a miss, so let's add PARSE_OPT_ENV and PARSE_OPT_WORD_EXPAND to be able to
test for example -cc "streq(${WITH_SSL},yes)" to help debug expressions.
This adds the exact same restriction as commit 5546c8bdc ("MINOR:
cfgparse: Fail when encountering extra arguments in macro") but for
the "-cc" command line argument, for the sake of consistency.
Allow the usage of the 'track' keyword for dynamic servers. On server
deletion, the server is properly removed from the tracking chain to
prevents NULL pointer dereferencing.
Prevents the use of the "track" keyword for a dynamic server. This
simplifies the deletion of a dynamic server, without having to worry
about servers which might tracked it.
A BUG_ON is present in the dynamic server delete function to validate
this assertion.
TCC doesn't have the equivalent of __builtin_unreachable() and complains
that hlua_panic_ljmp() may return no value. Let's add a return 0 there.
All compilers that know that longjmp() doesn't return will see no change
and tcc will be happy.
Modern compilers love to break existing code, and some options detected
at build time (such as -fwrapv) are absolutely critical otherwise some
bad code can be generated.
Given that some users rely on packages that force CFLAGS without being
aware of this and can be hit by runtime bugs, we have to help packagers
figure that they need to be careful about their build options.
The test here consists in detecting correct wrapping of signed integers.
Some of the old code relies on it, and modern compilers recently decided
to break it. It's normally addressed using -fwrapv which users will
rarely enforce in their own flags. Thus it is a good indicator of missing
critical CFLAGS, and it happens to be very easy to detect at run time.
Note that the test uses argc in order to have a variable. While gcc
ignores wrapping even for constants, clang only ignores it for variables.
The way the code is constructed doesn't result in code being emitted for
optimized builds thanks to value range propagation.
This should address GitHub issue #1315, and should be backported to all
stable versions. It may result in instantly breaking binaries that seemed
to work fine (typically the ones suddenly showing a busy loop after a few
weeks of uptime), and require packagers to fix their flags. The vast
majority of distro packages are fine and will not be affected though.
When a default-server line specified a client certificate to use, the
frontend would not take it into account and create an empty SSL context,
which would raise an error on the backend side ("peer did not return a
certificate").
This bug was introduced by d817dc733e in
which the SSL contexts are created earlier than before (during the
default-server line parsing) without setting it in the corresponding
server structures. It then made the server create an empty SSL context
in ssl_sock_prepare_srv_ctx because it thought it needed one.
It was raised on redmine, in Bug #3906.
It can be backported to 2.4.
Since 1.9 with commit 673867c35 ("MAJOR: applets: Use tasks, instead
of rolling our own scheduler.") the thread_mask field of the appctx
became unused, but the code hadn't been cleaned for this. The appctx
has its own task and the task's thread_mask is the one to be displayed.
It's worth noting that all calls to appctx_new() pass tid_bit as the
thread_mask. This makes sense, and it could be convenient to decide
that this becomes the norm and to simplify the API.
Define a new global config statement named
"h2-workaround-bogus-websocket-clients".
This statement will disable the automatic announce of h2 websocket
support as specified in the RFC8441. This can be use to overcome clients
which fail to implement the relatively fresh RFC8441. Clients will in
his case automatically downgrade to http/1.1 for the websocket tunnel
if the haproxy configuration allows it.
This feature is relatively simple and can be backported up to 2.4, which
saw the introduction of h2 websocket support.
Fix the wrong usage of http_uri_parser which is defined with an
uninitialized uri. This causes a crash which happens when forwarding a
request to a backend configured in plain proxy ('option http_proxy').
This has been reported through a clang warning on the CI.
This bug has been introduced by the refactoring of URI parser API.
c453f9547e
MINOR: http: use http uri parser for path
This does not need to be backported.
WARNING: although this patch fix the crash, the 'option http_proxy'
seems to be non buggy, possibly since quite a few stable versions.
Indeed, the URI rewriting is not functional : the path is written on the
beginning of the URI but the rest of the URI is not and this garbage is
passed to the server which does not understand the request.
Replace http_get_path by the http_uri_parser API. The new functions is
renamed http_parse_path. Replace duplicated code for scheme and
authority parsing by invocations to http_parse_scheme/authority.
If no scheme is found for an URI detected as an absolute-uri/authority,
consider it to be an authority format : no path will be found. For an
absolute-uri or absolute-path, use the remaining of the string as the
path. A new http_uri_parser state is declared to mark the path parsing
as done.
Split in two the condition which check if the monitor-uri is set for the
current request. This will allow to easily use the http_uri_parser type
for http_get_path.
Replace http_get_authority by the http_uri_parser API.
The new function is renamed http_parse_authority. Replace duplicated
scheme parsing code by http_parse_scheme invocation. A new
http_uri_parser state is declared to mark the authority parsing as done.
Replace http_get_scheme by the http_uri_parser API. The new function is
renamed http_parse_scheme. A new http_uri_parser state is declared to
mark the scheme parsing as completed.
Apply the rfc 3986 scheme-based normalization on h2 requests. This
process will be executed for most of requests because scheme and
authority are present on every h2 requests, except CONNECT. However, the
normalization will only be applied on requests with defaults http port
(http/80 or https/443) explicitly specified which most http clients
avoid.
This change is notably useful for http2 websockets with Firefox which
explicitly specify the 443 default port on Extended CONNECT. In this
case, users can be trapped if they are using host routing without
removing the port. With the scheme-based normalization, the default port
will be removed.
To backport this change, it is required to backport first the following
commits:
* MINOR: http: implement http_get_scheme
* MEDIUM: http: implement scheme-based normalization
Apply the rfc 3986 scheme-based normalization on h1 requests. It is
executed only for requests which uses absolute-form target URI, which is
not the standard case.
Implement the scheme-based uri normalization as described in rfc3986
6.3.2. Its purpose is to remove the port of an uri if the default one is
used according to the uri scheme : 80/http and 443/https. All other
ports are not touched.
This method uses an htx message as an input. It requires that the target
URI is in absolute-form with a http/https scheme. This represents most
of h2 requests except CONNECT. On the contrary, most of h1 requests
won't be elligible as origin-form is the standard case.
The normalization is first applied on the target URL of the start line.
Then, it is conducted on every Host headers present, assuming that they
are equivalent to the target URL.
This change will be notably useful to not confuse users who are
accustomed to use the host for routing without specifying default ports.
This problem was recently encountered with Firefox which specify the 443
default port for http2 websocket Extended CONNECT.
gcc 8.3.0 spews a bunch of:
src/stick_table.c: In function 'action_inc_gpc0':
include/haproxy/freq_ctr.h:66:12: warning: 'period' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
curr_tick += period;
^~
src/stick_table.c:2241:15: note: 'period' was declared here
unsigned int period;
^~~~~~
but they're incorrect because all accesses are guarded by the exact same
condition (ptr1 not being null), it's just the compiler being overzealous
about the uninitialized detection that seems to be stronger than its
ability to follow its own optimizations. This code path is not critical,
let's just pre-initialize the period to zero.
No backport is needed.
After reloading HAProxy, the old process may still hold active sessions.
Currently there is no way to gather information, how many sessions such
a process still holds. This patch will not exclude disabled proxies from
stats output when they hold at least one active session. This will allow
sending `!@<PID> show stat` through a master socket to the disabled
process and have it returning its stats data.
This reverts commit 19bbbe0562.
For now, set-src/set-src-port actions are directly performed on the client
connection. Using these actions at the stream level is really a problem with
HTTP connection (See #90) because all requests are affected by this change
and not only the current request. And it is worse with the H2, because
several requests can set their source address into the same connection at
the same time.
It is already an issue when these actions are called from "http-request"
rules. It is safer to wait a bit before adding the support to "tcp-request
content" rules. The solution is to be able to set src/dst address on the
stream and not on the connection when the action if performed from the L7
level..
Reverting the above commit means the issue #1303 is no longer fixed.
This patch must be backported in all branches containing the above commit
(as far as 2.0 for now).
A server name was displayed as <srv>/<proxy> instead of the reverse.
It only confuses diagnostics. This was introduced by commit 7a4a0ac71
("MINOR: cli: add a new "show fd" command") so this fix can be backport
down to 1.8.
As shown in issue #1251, it is possible for a connect() to report an
error directly via the poller without ever reporting send readiness,
but currentlt sock_conn_check() manages to ignore that situation,
leading to high CPU usage as poll() wakes up on these FDs.
The bug was apparently introduced in 1.5-dev22 with commit fd803bb4d
("MEDIUM: connection: add check for readiness in I/O handlers"), but
was likely only woken up by recent changes to conn_fd_handler() that
made use of wakeups instead of direct calls between 1.8 and 1.9,
voiding any chance to catch such errors in the early recv() callback.
The exact sequence that leads to this situation remains obscure though
because the poller does not report send readiness nor does it report an
error. Only HUP and IN are reported on the FD. It is also possible that
some recent kernel updates made this condition appear while it never
used to previously.
This needs to be backported to all stable branches, at least as far
as 2.0. Before 2.2 the code was in tcp_connect_probe() in proto_tcp.c.
This patch makes the use of 'gpc' excluding the use of the legacy
types 'gpc0' and 'gpc1" on the same table.
It also makes the use of 'gpc_rate' excluding the use of the legacy
types 'gpc0_rate' and 'gpc1_rate" on the same table.
The 'gpc0' and 'gpc1' related fetches and actions will apply
to the first two elements of the 'gpc' array if stored in table.
The 'gpc0_rate' and 'gpc1_rate' related fetches and actions will apply
to the first two elements of the 'gpc_rate' array if stored in table.
This patch adds the definition of two new array data_types:
'gpc': This is an array of 32bits General Purpose Counters.
'gpc_rate': This is an array on increment rates of General Purpose Counters.
Like for all arrays, they are limited to 100 elements.
This patch also adds actions and fetches to handle
elements of those arrays.
Note: As documented, those new actions and fetches won't
apply to the legacy 'gpc0', 'gpc1', 'gpc0_rate' nor 'gpc1_rate'.
This patch makes the use of 'gpt' excluding the use of the legacy
type 'gpt0' on the same table.
It also makes the 'gpt0' related fetches and actions applying
to the first element of the 'gpt' array if stored in table.
This patch adds the definition of a new array data_type
'gpt'. This is an array of 32bits General Purpose Tags.
Like for all arrays, it is limited to 100 elements.
This patch also adds actions and fetches to handle
elements of this array.
Note: As documented, those new actions and fetches won't
apply to the legacy 'gpt0' data type.
This patch adds support of array data_types on the peer protocol.
The table definition message will provide an additionnal parameter
for array data-types: the number of elements of the array.
In case of array of frqp it also provides a second parameter:
the period used to compute freq counter.
The array elements are std_type values linearly encoded in
the update message.
Note: if a remote peer announces an array data_type without
parameters into the table definition message, all updates
on this table will be ignored because we can not
parse update messages consistently.
This patch provides the code to handle arrays of some
standard types (SINT, UINT, ULL and FRQP) in stick table.
This way we could define new "array" data types.
Note: the number of elements of an array was limited
to 100 to put a limit and to ensure that an encoded
update message will continue to fit into a buffer
when the peer protocol will handle such data types.
This patch replaces all advanced data type aliases on
stktable_data_cast calls by standard types.
This way we could call the same stktable_data_cast
regardless of the used advanced data type as long they
are using the same std type.
It also removes all the advanced data type aliases.
This patch fixes the computation of the bit of the current data_type
in some part of code of peer protocol where the computation is limited
to 32bits whereas the bitfield of data_types can support 64bits.
Without this patch it could result in bugs when we will define more
than 32 data_types.
Backport is useless because there is currently less than 32 data_types
This patch fixes several errors printing integers
of stick table entry values and args during dump on cli.
This patch should be backported since the dump of entries
is supported. [wt: roughly 1.5-dev1 hence all stable branches]
The commit 3406766d5 ("MEDIUM: resolvers: add a ref between servers and srv
request or used SRV record") introduced a regression. The first server of a
template based on SRV record is no longer resolved. The same bug exists for
a normal server based on a SRV record.
In fact, the server used during parsing (used as reference when a
server-template line is parsed) is never attached to the corresponding srvrq
object. Thus with following lines, no resolution is performed because
"srvrq->attached_servers" is empty:
server-template test 1 _http.domain.tld resolvers dns ...
server test1 _http.domain.tld resolvers dns ...
This patch should fix the issue #1295 (but not confirmed yet it is the same
bug). It must be backported everywhere the above commit is.
As specified by the MQTT specification (MQTT-3.1.3-6), the client ID may be
empty. That means the length of the client ID string may be 0. However, The
MQTT parser does not support empty strings.
So, to fix the bug, the mqtt_read_string() function may now parse empty
string. 2 bytes must be found to decode the string length, but the length
may be 0 now. It is the caller responsibility to test the string emptiness
if necessary. In addition, in mqtt_parse_connect(), the client ID may be
empty now.
This patch should partely fix the issue #1310. It must be backported to 2.4.
Parsing of too long strings (> 127 characters) was buggy because of a wrong
cast on the length bytes. To fix the bug, we rely on mqtt_read_2byte_int()
function. This way, the string length is properly decoded.
This patch should partely fix the issue #1310. It must be backported to 2.4.
Since recent commit 469c06c30 ("MINOR: http-act/tcp-act: Add "set-mark"
and "set-tos" for tcp content rules") there's a build warning (or error)
on Windows due to static function tcp_action_set_mark() not being used
because the set-mark functionality is not supported there. It's caused
by the fact that only the parsing function uses it so if the code is
ifdefed out the function remains unused.
Let's surround it with ifdefs as well, and do the same for
tcp_action_set_tos() which could suffer the same fate on operating systems
not defining IP_TOS.
This may need to be backported if the patch above is backported. Also
be careful, the condition was adjusted to cover FreeBSD after commit
f7f53afcf ("BUILD/MEDIUM: tcp: set-mark setting support for FreeBSD.").
It is now possible to set the Netfilter MARK and the TOS field value in all
packets sent to the client from any tcp-request rulesets or the "tcp-response
content" one. To do so, the parsing of "set-mark" and "set-tos" actions are
moved in tcp_act.c and the actions evaluation is handled in dedicated functions.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the "nice" factor of the current stream from a
"tcp-request content" or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the
action parsing is moved in stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in
a dedicated function.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the stream log level from a "tcp-request content"
or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the action parsing is moved in
stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in a dedicated function.
This patch should fix issue #1306. It may be backported as far as 2.2 if
necessary.
The index of the failing rule is reported in the health-check log message. The
rules index is also used in the check traces. But for implicit HTTP send/expect
rules, the index is wrong. It must be incremented by one compared to the
preceding rule.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2.
In srv_parse_agent_check the error code is not returned in case
something goes wrong. The value 0 is always return.
Additionally, there's a small cleanup of unreachable returns that in
most checks are not present either and removed in two places they were
present. This makes the code consistent across the different checks.
If resolv_get_ip_from_response() returns an error (or an unexpected return
value), the server is set to RMAINT status. However, its address must also
be reset. Otherwise, it is still reported by the cli on "show servers state"
commands. This may be confusing. Note that it is a theorical patch because
this code path does not exist. Thus it is not tagged as a BUG.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.0.
For A/AAAA resolution, if no ip is found for a server in the response, the
server is set to RMAINT status. However, its address must also be
reset. Otherwise, it is still reported by the cli on "show servers state"
commands. This may be confusing.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.0.
On A/AAAA resolution, for a given server, if a record is matching, we must
always attach the server to this record. Before it was only done if the
server IP was not the same than the record one. However, it is a problem if
the server IP was not set for a previous resolution. From the libc during
startup for instance. In this case, the server IP is not updated and the
server is not attached to any record. It remains in this state while a
matching record is found in the DNS response. It is especially a problem
when the resolution is used for server-templates.
This bug was introduced by the commit bd78c912f ("MEDIUM: resolvers: add a
ref on server to the used A/AAAA answer item").
This patch should solve the issue #1305. It must be backported to all
versions containing the above commit.
A dedicated queue lock was added by commit 16fbdda3c ("MEDIUM: queue:
use a dedicated lock for the queues (v2)") but during its rebase, some
labels were lost and left to SERVER_LOCK / PROXY_LOCK instead of
QUEUE_LOCK. It's harmless but can confuse the lock debugger, so better
fix it.
No backport is needed.
Commit ae0b12ee0 ("MEDIUM: queue: use a trylock on the server's queue")
introduced a hard to trigger bug that's more visible with a single thread:
if a server dequeues a connection and finds another free slot with no
connection to place there, process_srv_queue() will never break out of
the loop. In multi-thread it almost does not happen because other threads
bring new connections.
No backport is needed as it's only in -dev.
Since the code paths became exactly the same except for what log field
to update, let's simplify the code and move further code out of the
lock. The queue position update and the test for server vs proxy do not
need to be inside the lock.
Now we directly use p->queue to get to the queue, which is much more
straightforward. The performance on 100 servers and 16 threads
increased from 560k to 574k RPS, or 2.5%.
A lot more simplifications are possible, but the minimum was done at
this point.
A queue is specific to a server or a proxy, so we don't need to place
this distinction inside all pendconns, it can be in the queue itself.
This commit adds the relevant fields "px" and "sv" into the struct
queue, and initializes them accordingly.
Doing so makes sure that threads attempting to wake up new connections
for a server will give up early if another thread is already in charge
of this. The goal is to avoid unneeded contention on low server counts.
Now with a single server with 16 threads in roundrobin we get the same
performance as with multiple servers, i.e. ~575kreq/s instead of ~496k
before. Leastconn is seeing a similar jump, from ~460 to ~560k (the
difference being the calls to fwlc_srv_reposition).
The overhead of process_srv_queue() is now around 2% instead of ~20%
previously.
There's no point keeping the proxy lock held for a long time, it's
only needed when checking the proxy's queue, and keeping it prevents
multiple servers from dequeuing in parallel. Let's move it into
pendconn_process_next_strm() and release it ASAP. The pendconn
remains under the server queue lock's protection, guaranteeing that
no stream will release it while it's being touched.
For roundrobin, the performance increases by 76% (327k to 575k) on
16 threads. Even with a single server and maxconn=100, the performance
increases from 398 to 496 kreq/s. For leastconn, almost no change is
visible (less than one percent) but this is expected since most of the
time there is spent in fwlc_reposition() and fwlc_get_next_server().
Doing so allows to retrieve and update the pendconn's queue index outside
of the queue's lock and to save one more percent CPU on a highly-contented
backend.
The code only differed by the nbpend_max counter. Let's have a pointer
to it and merge the two variants to always use a generic queue. It was
initially considered to put the max inside the queue structure itself,
but the stats support clearing values and maxes and this would have been
the only counter having to be handled separately there. Given that we
don't need this max anywhere outside stats, let's keep it where it is
and have a pointer to it instead.
The CAS loop to update the max remains. It was naively thought that it
would have been faster without atomic ops inside the lock, but this is
not the case for the simple reason that it is a max, it converges very
quickly and never has to perform the check anymore. Thus this code is
better out of the lock.
The queue_idx is still updated inside the lock since that's where the
idx is updated, though it could be performed using atomic ops given
that it's only used to roughly count places for logging.
This basically undoes the API changes that were performed by commit
0274286dd ("BUG/MAJOR: server: fix deadlock when changing maxconn via
agent-check") to address the deadlock issue: since process_srv_queue()
doesn't use the server lock anymore, it doesn't need the "server_locked"
argument, so let's get rid of it before it gets used again.
Till now whenever a server or proxy's queue was touched, this server
or proxy's lock was taken. Not only this requires distinct code paths,
but it also causes unnecessary contention with other uses of these locks.
This patch adds a lock inside the "queue" structure that will be used
the same way by the server and the proxy queuing code. The server used
to use a spinlock and the proxy an rwlock, though the queue only used
it for locked writes. This new version uses a spinlock since we don't
need the read lock part here. Tests have not shown any benefit nor cost
in using this one versus the rwlock so we could change later if needed.
The lower contention on the locks increases the performance from 362k
to 374k req/s on 16 threads with 20 servers and leastconn. The gain
with roundrobin even increases by 9%.
This is tagged medium because the lock is changed, but no other part of
the code touches the queues, with nor without locking, so this should
remain invisible.
There's no point doing atomic incs over px->served/px->totpend under the
locks from the inner loop, as this value is used by the LB algorithms but
not during the dequeuing step. In addition, the LB algo's take_conn()
doesn't need to be refreshed for each and every connection taken
under the lock, it can be performed once at the end and out of the
lock.
While the gain on roundrobin is not noticeable (only the atomic inc),
on leastconn which uses take_conn(), the performance increases from
355k to 362k req/s on 16 threads.

If it possible to set source IP/Port from "tcp-request connection",
"tcp-request session" and "http-request" rules but not from "tcp-request
content" rules. There is no reason for this limitation and it may be a
problem for anyone wanting to call a lua fetch to dynamically set source
IP/Port from a TCP proxy. Indeed, to call a lua fetch, we must have a
stream. And there is no stream when "tcp-request connection/session" rules
are evaluated.
Thanks to this patch, "set-src" and "set-src-port" action are now supported
by "tcp_request content" rules.
This patch is related to the issue #1303. It may be backported to all stable
versions.
In 1.4, consistent hashing was brought by commit 6b2e11be1 ("[MEDIUM]
backend: implement consistent hashing variation") which took care of
replacing all direct calls to map_get_server_rr() with an alternate
call to chash_get_next_server() if consistent hash was being used.
One of them, however, cannot happen because a preliminary test for
static round-robin is being done prior to the call, so we're certain
that if it matches it cannot use a consistent hash tree.
Let's remove it.
Dealing with the queue lock in the caller remains complicated. Let's
change pendconn_first() to take the queue instead of the tree head,
and handle the lock itself. It now returns an element with a locked
queue or no element with an unlocked queue. It can avoid locking if
the queue is already empty.
There's no point keeping the server's queue lock after seeing that the
server's queue is empty, just like there's no need to keep the proxy's
lock when its queue is empty. This patch checks for emptiness and
releases these locks as soon as possible.
With this the performance increased from 524k to 530k on 16 threads
with round-robin.
By placing the lock there, it becomes possible to lock the proxy
later and to unlock it earlier. The server unlocking also happens slightly
earlier.
The performance on roundrobin increases from 481k to 524k req/s on 16
threads. Leastconn shows about 513k req/s (the difference being the
take_conn() call).
The performance profile changes from this:
9.32% hap-pxok [.] process_srv_queue
7.56% hap-pxok [.] pendconn_dequeue
6.90% hap-pxok [.] pendconn_add
to this:
7.42% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
5.61% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
4.95% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
By doing so we can move some evaluations outside of the lock and the
loop. In the round robin case, the performance increases from 497k to
505k rps on 16 threads with 100 servers.
Doing so allows to retrieve and update the pendconn's queue index outside
of the queue's lock and to save one more percent CPU on a highly-contented
backend.
The code only differed by the nbpend_max counter. Let's have a pointer
to it and merge the two variants to always use a generic queue. It was
initially considered to put the max inside the queue structure itself,
but the stats support clearing values and maxes and this would have been
the only counter having to be handled separately there. Given that we
don't need this max anywhere outside stats, let's keep it where it is
and have a pointer to it instead.
The CAS loop to update the max remains. It was naively thought that it
would have been faster without atomic ops inside the lock, but this is
not the case for the simple reason that it is a max, it converges very
quickly and never has to perform the check anymore. Thus this code is
better out of the lock.
The queue_idx is still updated inside the lock since that's where the
idx is updated, though it could be performed using atomic ops given
that it's only used to roughly count places for logging.
This basically undoes the API changes that were performed by commit
0274286dd ("BUG/MAJOR: server: fix deadlock when changing maxconn via
agent-check") to address the deadlock issue: since process_srv_queue()
doesn't use the server lock anymore, it doesn't need the "server_locked"
argument, so let's get rid of it before it gets used again.
Till now whenever a server or proxy's queue was touched, this server
or proxy's lock was taken. Not only this requires distinct code paths,
but it also causes unnecessary contention with other uses of these locks.
This patch adds a lock inside the "queue" structure that will be used
the same way by the server and the proxy queuing code. The server used
to use a spinlock and the proxy an rwlock, though the queue only used
it for locked writes. This new version uses a spinlock since we don't
need the read lock part here. Tests have not shown any benefit nor cost
in using this one versus the rwlock so we could change later if needed.
The lower contention on the locks increases the performance from 491k
to 507k req/s on 16 threads with 20 servers and leastconn. The gain
with roundrobin even increases by 6%.
The performance profile changes from this:
13.03% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition
8.08% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
3.62% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
1.78% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
to this:
11.95% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition
7.57% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
3.51% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
1.70% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
At this point the differences are mostly measurement noise.
This is tagged medium because the lock is changed, but no other part of
the code touches the queues, with nor without locking, so this should
remain invisible.
This essentially reverts commit 2b4370078 ("MINOR: lb/api: let callers
of take_conn/drop_conn tell if they have the lock") that was merged
during 2.4 before the various locks could be eliminated at the lower
layers. Passing that information complicates the cleanup of the queuing
code and it's become useless.
The lock in process_srv_queue() was placed around the whole loop to
avoid the cost of taking/releasing it multiple times. But in practice
almost all calls to this function only dequeue a single connection, so
that argument doesn't really stand. However by placing the lock inside
the loop, we'd make it possible to release it before manipulating the
pendconn and waking the task up. That's what this patch does.
This increases the performance from 431k to 491k req/s on 16 threads
with 20 servers under leastconn.
The performance profile changes from this:
14.09% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
10.22% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition
6.39% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
3.97% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
3.84% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
to this:
13.03% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition
8.08% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
3.62% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
1.78% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
The difference is even slightly more visible in roundrobin which
does not have take_conn() call.
It used to do far too much under the lock, including waking up tasks,
updating counters and repositionning entries in the load balancing algo.
This patch first moves all that stuff out of the function into the only
caller (process_srv_queue()). The decision to update the LB algo is now
taken out of the lock. The wakeups could be performed outside of the
loop by using a local list.
This increases the performance from 377k to 431k req/s on 16 threads
with 20 servers under leastconn.
The perf profile changes from this:
23.17% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
6.58% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
6.40% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
5.48% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition
3.70% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
to this:

9.96% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition

3.96% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
3.75% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
The server_parse_maxconn_change_request locks the server lock. However,
this function can be called via agent-checks or lua code which already
lock it. This bug has been introduced by the following commit :
commit 79a88ba3d0
BUG/MAJOR: server: prevent deadlock when using 'set maxconn server'
This commit tried to fix another deadlock with can occur because
previoulsy server_parse_maxconn_change_request requires the server lock
to be held. However, it may call internally process_srv_queue which also
locks the server lock. The locking policy has thus been updated. The fix
is functional for the CLI 'set maxconn' but fails to address the
agent-check / lua counterparts.
This new issue is fixed in two steps :
- changes from the above commit have been reverted. This means that
server_parse_maxconn_change_request must again be called with the
server lock.
- to counter the deadlock fixed by the above commit, process_srv_queue
now takes an argument to render the server locking optional if the
caller already held it. This is only used by
server_parse_maxconn_change_request.
The above commit was subject to backport up to 1.8. Thus this commit
must be backported in every release where it is already present.
Since commit c7eedf7a5 ("MINOR: queue: reduce the locked area in
pendconn_add()") the stream's pend_pos is set out of the lock, after
the pendconn is queued. While this entry is only manipulated by the
stream itself and there is no bug caused by this right now, it's a
bit dangerous because another thread could decide to look at this
field during dequeuing and could randomly see something else. Also
in case of crashes, memory inspection wouldn't be as trustable.
Let's assign the pendconn before it can be found in the queue.
Activate the 'ssl' keyword for dynamic servers. This is the final step
to have ssl dynamic servers feature implemented. If activated,
ssl_sock_prepare_srv_ctx will be called at the end of the 'add server'
CLI handler.
At the same time, update the management doc to list all ssl keywords
implemented for dynamic servers.
These keywords are deemed safe-enough to be enable on dynamic servers.
Their parsing functions are simple and can be called at runtime.
- allow-0rtt
- alpn
- ciphers
- ciphersuites
- force-sslv3/tlsv10/tlsv11/tlsv12/tlsv13
- no-sslv3/tlsv10/tlsv11/tlsv12/tlsv13
- no-ssl-reuse
- no-tls-tickets
- npn
- send-proxy-v2-ssl
- send-proxy-v2-ssl-cn
- sni
- ssl-min-ver
- ssl-max-ver
- tls-tickets
- verify
- verifyhost
'no-ssl-reuse' and 'no-tls-tickets' are enabled to override the default
behavior.
'tls-tickets' is enable to override a possible 'no-tls-tickets' set via
the global option 'ssl-default-server-options'.
'force' and 'no' variants of tls method options are useful to override a
possible 'ssl-default-server-options'.
File-access through ssl_store_load_locations_file is deactivated if
srv_parse_crl is used at runtime for a dynamic server. The crl must
have already been loaded either in the config or through the 'ssl crl'
CLI commands.
File-access through ssl_store_load_locations_file is deactivated if
srv_parse_crt is used at runtime for a dynamic server. The cert must
have already been loaded either in the config or through the 'ssl cert'
CLI commands.
File-access through ssl_store_load_locations_file is deactivated if
srv_parse_ca_file is used at runtime for a dynamic server. The ca-file
must have already been loaded either in the config or through the 'ssl
ca-file' CLI commands.
This will be in preparation for support of ssl on dynamic servers. The
'alpn' keyword will be allowed for dynamic servers but not the
'check-alpn'.
The alpn parsing is extracted into a new function parse_alpn. Each
srv_parse_alpn and srv_parse_check_alpn called it.
The function ssl_sock_load_srv_cert will be used at runtime for dynamic
servers. If the cert is not loaded on ckch tree, we try to access it
from the file-system.
Now this access operation is rendered optional by a new function
argument. It is only allowed at parsing time, but will be disabled for
dynamic servers at runtime.
'set server ssl' uses ssl parameters from default-server. As dynamic
servers does not reuse any default-server parameters, this command has
no sense for them.
Explicitly call ssl_initialize_random to initialize the random generator
in init() global function. If the initialization fails, the startup is
interrupted.
This commit is in preparation for support of ssl on dynamic servers. To
be able to activate ssl on dynamic servers, it is necessary to ensure
that the random generator is initialized on startup regardless of the
config. It cannot be called at runtime as access to /dev/urandom is
required.
This also has the effect to fix the previous non-consistent behavior.
Indeed, if bind or server in the config are using ssl, the
initialization function was called, and if it failed, the startup was
interrupted. Otherwise, the ssl initialization code could have been
called through the ssl server for lua, but this times without blocking
the startup on error. Or not called at all if lua was deactivated.
RFC 7231#5.3.4 makes a difference between a completely missing
'accept-encoding' header and an 'accept-encoding' header without any values.
This case was already correctly handled by accident, because an empty accept
encoding does not match any known encoding. However this resulted in the
'other' encoding being added to the bitmap. Usually this also succeeds in
serving cached responses, because the cached response likely has no
'content-encoding', thus matching the identity case instead of not serving the
response, due to the 'other' encoding. But it's technically not 100% correct.
Fix this by special-casing 'accept-encoding' values with a length of zero and
extend the test to check that an empty accept-encoding is correctly handled.
Due to the reasons given above the test also passes without the change in
cache.c.
Vary support was added in HAProxy 2.4. This fix should be backported to 2.4+.
The commit c7b391aed ("BUG/MEDIUM: server/cli: Fix ABBA deadlock when fqdn
is set from the CLI") introduced 2 bugs. The first one is a typo on the
server's lock label (s/SERVER_UNLOCK/SERVER_LOCK/). The second one is about
the server's lock itself. It must be acquired to execute the "agent-send"
subcommand.
The patch above is marked to be backported as far as 1.8. Thus, this one
must also backported as far 1.8.
BUG/MINOR: server/cli: Don't forget to lock server on agent-send subcommand
The commit dcac41806 ("BUG/MEDIUM: resolvers: Add a task on servers to check
SRV resolution status") introduced a type. In resolv_srvrq_expire_task()
function, the resolver's lock must be used instead of the resolver itself.
This patch must be backported with the patch above (at least as far as 2.2).
When reusing a backend connection, do not reapply the SNI on the
connection. It should already be defined when the connection was
instantiated on a previous connect_server invocation. As the SNI is a
parameter used to select a connection, only connection with same value
can be reused.
The impact of this bug is unknown and may be null. No memory leak has
been reported by valgrind. So this is more a cleaning fix.
This commit relies on the SF_SRV_REUSED flag and thus depends on the
following fix :
BUG/MINOR: backend: restore the SF_SRV_REUSED flag original purpose
This should be backported up to 2.4.
The SF_SRV_REUSED flag was set if a stream reused a backend connection.
One of its purpose is to count the total reuse on the backend in
opposition to newly instantiated connection.
However, the flag was diverted from its original purpose since the
following commit :
e8f5f5d8b2
BUG/MEDIUM: servers: Only set SF_SRV_REUSED if the connection if fully ready.
With this change, the flag is not set anymore if the mux is not ready
when a connection is picked for reuse. This can happen for multiplexed
connections which are inserted in the available list as soon as created
in http-reuse always mode. The goal of this change is to not retry
immediately this request in case on an error on the same server if the
reused connection is not fully ready.
This change is justified for the retry timeout handling but it breaks
other places which still uses the flag for its original purpose. Mainly,
in this case the wrong 'connect' backend counter is incremented instead
of the 'reuse' one. The flag is also used in http_return_srv_error and
may have an impact if a http server error is replied for this stream.
To fix this problem, the original purpose of the flag is restored by
setting it unconditionaly when a connection is reused. Additionally, a
new flag SF_SRV_REUSED_ANTICIPATED is created. This flag is set when the
connection is reused but the mux is not ready yet. For the timeout
handling on error, the request is retried immediately only if the stream
reused a connection without this newly anticipated flag.
This must be backported up to 2.1.
When a server relies on a SRV resolution, a task is created to clean it up
(fqdn/port and address) when the SRV resolution is considered as outdated
(based on the resolvers 'timeout' value). It is only possible if the server
inherits outdated info from a state file and is no longer selected to be
attached to a SRV item. Note that most of time, a server is attached to a
SRV item. Thus when the item becomes obsolete, the server is cleaned
up.
It is important to have such task to be sure the server will be free again
to have a chance to be resolved again with fresh information. Of course,
this patch is a workaround to solve a design issue. But there is no other
obvious way to fix it without rewritting all the resolvers part. And it must
be backportable.
This patch relies on following commits:
* MINOR: resolvers: Clean server in a dedicated function when removing a SRV item
* MINOR: resolvers: Remove server from named_servers tree when removing a SRV item
All the series must be backported as far as 2.2 after some observation
period. Backports to 2.0 and 1.8 must be evaluated.
When a server is cleaned up because the corresponding SRV item is removed,
we always remove the server from the srvrq's name_servers tree. For now, it
is useless because, if a server was attached to a SRV item, it means it was
already removed from the tree. But it will be mandatory to fix a bug.
A dedicated function is now used to clean up servers when a SRV item becomes
obsolete or when a requester is removed from a resolution. This patch is
mandatory to fix a bug.
To perform servers resolution, the resolver's lock is first acquired then
the server's lock when necessary. However, when the fqdn is set via the CLI,
the opposite is performed. So, it is possible to experience an ABBA
deadlock.
To fix this bug, the server's lock is acquired and released for each
subcommand of "set server" with an exception when the fqdn is set. The
resolver's lock is first acquired. Of course, this means we must be sure to
have a resolver to lock.
This patch must be backported as far as 1.8.
If a server is configured to rely on a SRV resolution, we must forbid to
change its fqdn on the CLI. Indeed, in this case, the server retrieves its
fqdn from the SRV resolution. If the fqdn is changed via the CLI, this
conflicts with the SRV resolution and leaves the server in an undefined
state. Most of time, the SRV resolution remains enabled with no effect on
the server (no update). Some time the A/AAAA resolution for the new fqdn is
not enabled at all. It depends on the server state and resolver state when
the CLI command is executed.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0 (maybe to 1.8 too ?) after some
observation period.
To avoid repeating the same source code, allocating memory and initializing
the per_thr field from the server structure is transferred to a separate
function.
In 2.4, commit d1ac2b90c ("MAJOR: htx: Remove the EOM block type and
use HTX_FL_EOM instead") changed the HTX processing to destroy the
blocks as they are processed. So the traces that were emitted at the
end of the send headers functions didn't have anything to show.
Let's move these traces earlier in the function, right before the HTX
processing, so that everything is still in place.
This should be backported to 2.4.
Since commit 7d013e796 ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: Xfer rxbuf to the upper
layer when creating a front stream"), the rxbuf is lost during the
call to h2c_frt_stream_new(), so the trace that happens later cannot
find a request there and we've lost the useful part indicating what
the request looked like. Let's move the trace before this call.
This should be backported to 2.4.
We're seeing some browsers setting up multiple connections and closing
some to just keep one. It looks like they do this in case they'd
negotiate H1. This results in aborted prefaces and log pollution about
bad requests and "PR--" in the status flags.
We already have an option to ignore connections with no data, it's called
http-ignore-probes. But it was not used by the H2 mux. However it totally
makes sense to use it during the preface.
This patch changes this so that connections aborted before sending the
preface can avoid being logged.
This should be backported to 2.4 and 2.3 at least, and probably even
as far as 2.0.
As part of the changes to support per-module stats data in 2.3-dev6
with commit ee63d4bd6 ("MEDIUM: stats: integrate static proxies stats
in new stats"), a small change resulted in the description field to
be replaced by the name field, making it pointless. Let's fix this
back.
This should fix issue #1291. Thanks to Nick Ramirez for reporting this
issue.
This patch can be backported to 2.3.
"sent H2 request" was already misaligned with the 3 other ones
(sent/rcvd, request/response), and now with "new H2 connection" that's
yet another alignment making the traces even less legible. Let's just
realign all 5 messages, this even eases quick pointer comparisons. This
should probably be backported to 2.4 as it's where it's the most likely
to be used in the mid-term.
It is currently very difficult to match some H2 trace outputs against
some log extracts because there's no exactly equivalent info.
This patch tries to address this by adding a TRACE_USER() call in h2_init()
that is matched in h2_trace() to report:
- connection pointer and direction
- frontend's name or server's name
- transport layer and control layer (e.g. "SSL/tcpv4")
- source and/or destination depending on what is set
This now permits to get something like this at verbosity level complete:

This function appends to a buffer some information from a connection.
This will be used by traces and possibly some debugging as well. A
frontend/backend/server, transport/control layers, source/destination
ip:port, connection pointer and direction are reported depending on
the available information.
Since 2.4-dev3 with commit c4bfa59f1 ("MAJOR: mux-h1: Create the client
stream as later as possible"), a request error doesn't result in any
error response if "option http-ignore-probes" is set, there's just a
close. This is caused by an unneeded b_reset() in h1_process_demux()'s
error path, which makes h1_handle_bad_req() believe there was an empty
request. There is no reason for this reset to be there, it must have
been a leftover of an earlier attempt at dealing with the error, let's
drop it.
This should be backported to 2.4.
In 2.3, a significant improvement was brought against situations where
the queue was heavily used, because some LB algos were still checked
for no reason before deciding to put the request into the queue. This
was commit 82cd5c13a ("OPTIM: backend: skip LB when we know the backend
is full").
As seen in previous commit ("BUG/MAJOR: queue: set SF_ASSIGNED when
setting strm->target on dequeue") the dequeuing code is extremely
tricky, and the optimization above tends to emphasize transient issues
by making them permanent until the next reload, which is not acceptable
as the code must always be robust against any bad situation.
This commit brings a protection against such a situation by slightly
relaxing the test. Instead of checking that there are pending connections
in the backend queue, it also verifies that the backend's connections are
not solely composed of queued connections, which would then indicate we
are in this situation. This is not rocket science, but at least if the
situation happens, we know that it will unlock by itself once the streams
have left, as new requests will be allowed to reach the servers and to
flush the queue again.
This needs to be backported to 2.4 and 2.3.
Commit 82cd5c13a ("OPTIM: backend: skip LB when we know the backend is
full") has uncovered a long-burried bug in the dequeing code: when a
server releases a connection, it picks a new one from the proxy's or
its queue. Technically speaking it only picks a pendconn which is a
link between a position in the queue and a stream. It then sets this
pendconn's target to itself, and wakes up the stream's task so that
it can try to connect again.
The stream then goes through the regular connection setup phases,
calls back_try_conn_req() which calls pendconn_dequeue(), which
sets the stream's target to the pendconn's and releases the pendconn.
It then reaches assign_server() which sees no SF_ASSIGNED and calls
assign_server_and_queue() to perform load balancing or queuing. This
one first destroys the stream's target and gets ready to perform load
balancing. At this point we're load-balancing for no reason since we
already knew what server was available. And this is where the commit
above comes into play: the check for the backend's queue above may
detect other connections that arrived in between, and will immediately
return FULL, forcing this request back into the queue. If the server
had a very low maxconn (e.g. 1 due to a long slowstart), it's possible
that this evicted connection was the last one on the server and that
no other one will ever be present to process the queue. Usually a
regularly processed request will still have its own srv_conn that will
be used during stream_free() to dequeue other connections. But if the
server had a down-up cycle, then a call to pendconn_grab_from_px()
may start to dequeue entries which had no srv_conn and which will have
no server slot to offer when they expire, thus maintaining the situation
above forever. Worse, as new requests arrive, there are always some
requests in the queue and the situation feeds on itself.
The correct fix here is to properly set SF_ASSIGNED in pendconn_dequeue()
when the stream's target is assigned (as it's what this flag means), so
as to avoid a load-balancing pass when dequeuing.
Many thanks to Pierre Cheynier for the numerous detailed traces he
provided that helped narrow this problem down.
This could be backported to all stable versions, but in practice only
2.3 and above are really affected since the presence of the commit
above. Given how tricky this code is it's better to limit it to those
versions that really need it.
With a single process, we don't need to USE_PRIVATE_CACHE, USE_FUTEX
nor USE_PTHREAD_PSHARED anymore. Let's only keep the basic spinlock
to lock between threads.
The relative_pid is always 1. In mworker mode we also have a
child->relative_pid which is always equalt relative_pid, except for a
master (0) or external process (-1), but these types are usually tested
for, except for one place that was amended to carefully check for the
PROC_O_TYPE_WORKER option.
Changes were pretty limited as most usages of relative_pid were for
designating a process in stats output and peers protocol.
As there's no more nbproc>1, we can remove some loops and tests in cpu-map.
Both the lack of thread number and thread 1 can count as the whole process
now (which is still used for whole process binding when threads are disabled).
Lots of places iterating over nbproc or comparing with nbproc could be
simplified. Further, "bind-process" and "process" parsing that was
already limited to process 1 or "all" or "odd" resulted in a bind_proc
field that was either 0 or 1 during the init phase and later always 1.
All the checks for compatibilities were removed since it's not possible
anymore to run a frontend and a backend on different processes or to
have peers and stick-tables bound on different ones. This is the largest
part of this patch.
The bind_proc field was removed from both the proxy and the receiver
structs.
Since the "process" and "bind-process" directives are still parsed,
configs making use of correct values allowing process 1 will continue
to work.
There was a loop iterating over all nbproc values during init that
couldn't be immediately removed because the loop's index was used
to distinguish a child from a parent. That's now fixed by replacing
the iterator with an in_parent flag. All bindings that were checking
(1UL << proc) or cpu_map.proc[proc] were adjusted to always use zero
for proc.
Since its introduction in 1.8 with commit 095ba4c24 ("MEDIUM: mworker:
replace systemd mode by master worker mode"), it says "cannot chroot1(...)"
which seems to be a leftover of a debug message. It could be backported but
probably nobody will notice.
The global shctx lookups and misses was updated without using atomic
ops, so the stats available in "show info" are very likely off by a few
units over time. This should be backported as far as 1.8. Versions
without _HA_ATOMIC_INC() can use HA_ATOMIC_ADD(,1).
Since threads were introduced in 1.8, the USE_PRIVATE_CACHE mode of the
shctx was not updated to use locks. Originally it was meant to disable
sharing between processes, so it removes the lock/unlock instructions.
But with threads enabled, it's not possible to work like this anymore.
It's easy to see that once built with private cache and threads enabled,
sending violent SSL traffic to the the process instantly makes it die.
The HTTP cache is very likely affected as well.
This patch addresses this by falling back to our native spinlocks when
USE_PRIVATE_CACHE is used. In practice we could use them also for other
modes and remove all older implementations, but this patch aims at keeping
the changes very low and easy to backport. A new SHCTX_LOCK label was
added to help with debugging, but OTHER_LOCK might be usable as well
for backports.
An even lighter approach for backports may consist in always declaring
the lock (or reusing "waiters"), and calling pl_take_s() for the lock()
and pl_drop_s() for the unlock() operation. This could even be used in
all modes (process and threads), even when thread support is disabled.
Subsequent patches will further clean up this area.
This patch must be backported to all supported versions since 1.8.
Until then, the servers were automatically attached on their creation
into the proxy addr_node tree via _srv_parse_init. In case of an invalid
dynamic server which is instantly freed, no detach operation was made
leaving a NULL server in the tree.
Change this mode of operation by marking the attach operation as
optional in _srv_parse_init. This operation is not conduct for a dynamic
server. The server is attached only at the end of the CLI handler when
it is marked as valid.
This must be backported up to 2.4.
A bug is present when trying to create a dynamic server with a fixed id.
If the server is detected invalid due to a later parsing arguments
error, the server is not removed from the proxy used ids tree before
being freed.
Change the mode of operation of 'id' keyword parsing handler. The
insertion in the backend tree is removed from the handler and is not
taken in charge by parse_server for configuration parsing. For the
dynamic servers, the insertion is called at the end of the 'add server'
CLI handler when the server has been validated.
This must be backported up to 2.4.
If no id is specified by the user for a dynamic server, it is necessary
to generate a new one. This operation is now done at the end of 'add
server' CLI handler. The server is then inserted into the proxy ids
tree.
Without this, several features may be broken for dynamic servers. Among
them, there is the "first" lb algorithm, the persistence using
stick-tables or the uniqueness internal check of srv_parse_id.
This must be backported up to 2.4.
Do not leave deleted server in used_server_id/used_server_addr backend
trees. This might lead to crashes if a deleted server is used through
these trees.
At this moment, dynamic servers are only added in used_server_id if they
have a fixed id. They are never inserted in used_server_addr as this
code is missing. So these new delete instructions are noop. However, a
fix will be provided soon to insert properly all dynamic servers in both
used_server_id and used_server_addr trees so the deletion counterpart
will be mandatory in the CLI server delete handler.
This must be backported to 2.4.
Some config parsing handlers were designed to be run at startup on a
single-thread. When executing at runtime for dynamic servers,
thread-safety is not guaranteed. This is the case for example in
srv_parse_id which manipulates backend used_ids tree.
One solution could be to add locks but it might be tricky to found all
affected functions and it can be an easy source of deadlock. The other
solution which has been chosen is to use thread-isolation over almost
all of the cli_parse_add_server CLI handler.
For now this solution is sufficient. If some users make heavy use of the
'add server', hurting the overall performance, it will be necessary to
design a much thinner solution.
This must be backported up to 2.4.
If the server id is fixed in the configuration, it is immediately
inserted in the 'used_server_id' backend tree via srv_parse_id. On
check_config_validity, the dynamic id generation is thus skipped for
fixed-id servers. However, it must nevertheless be inserted in the
'used_server_name' backend tree.
This bug seems to be not noticeable for the user. Indeed, before the
fix, the search in sticking_rule_find_target always returned NULL for
the name, then the fallback search with server id succeeded, so the
persistence is properly applied. However with the fix the fallback
search is not executed anymore, which saves from the locking of
STK_SESS.
This should be backported up to 2.0.
This patch fix the issue adding a test in srvrq before registering
the server on it during server template init.
This was a regression due to commit :
3406766d57
This should be backported with this previous commit (until 2.0)
This one was deprecated in 2.3 and marked for removal in 2.5. It suffers
too many limitations compared to threads, and prevents some improvements
from being engaged. Instead of a bypassable startup error, there is now
a hard error.
The parsing code was removed, and very few obvious cases were as well.
The code is deeply rooted at certain places (e.g. "for" loops iterating
from 0 to nbproc) so it will not be that trivial to remove everywhere.
The "bind" and "bind-process" parsers will have to be adjusted, though
maybe not completely changed if we later want to support thread groups
for large NUMA machines. Some stats socket restrictions were removed,
and the doc was updated according to what was done. A few places in the
doc still refer to nbproc and will have to be revisited. The master-worker
code also refers to the process number to distinguish between master and
workers and will have to be carefully adjusted. The MAX_PROCS macro was
reset to 1, this will at least reduce the size of some remaining arrays.
Two regtests were dependieng on this directive, one with an explicit
"nbproc 1" and another one testing the master's CLI using nbproc 4.
Both were adapted.
Commit ab0a5192a ("MEDIUM: config: mark "grace" as deprecated") marked
the "grace" keyword as deprecated in 2.3, tentative removal for 2.4
with a hard deadline in 2.5, so let's remove it and return an error now.
This old and outdated feature was incompatible with soft-stop, reload
and socket transfers, and keeping it forced ugly hacks in the lower
layers of the protocol stack.
It was marked as deprecated in 2.1-dev2 and for removal in 2.2, but it
was missed. A warning was already emitted and the doc didn't refer to
it any more, let's now get rid of it.
It's been warning as being deprecated since 2.0-dev4, it's about time
to drop it now. The error message recommends to either remove it or
use "option httpclose" instead. It's still referred to in the old
internal doc about the connection header, which itself seems highly
inaccurate by now.
This one was marked as deprecated 9 years ago by commit 28376d62c
("MEDIUM: http: merge ACL and pattern cookie fetches into a single one")
and has disappeared from any documentation, so it never appeared in any
released version. Let's remove it now.
The following 10 log-format tags were implemented during log-format
development and changed before the release. They were marked as deprecated
in 2012 by commit 2beef5888 ("MEDIUM: log: change a few log tokens to make
them easier to remember") and were not documented. They've been emitting a
warning since then, with a suggestion of the one to use instead. Let's get
rid of them now.
Bi => bi, Bp => bp, Ci => ci, Cp => cp, Fi => fi
Fp => fp, Si => si, Sp => sp, cc => CC, cs => CS
It was marked as deprecated for immediate removal as it was not used,
let's reject it and remove it from the doc. A specific error suggests
to check tune.bufsize instead.
When the state of a server is loaded, if there is no hostname defined for
this server and if a fqdn and a server record are retrieved from the state
file, it means the server should rely on a SRV resolution. But we must be
sure the server is configured this way. A SRV resolution must be configured
with the same SRV record. This part must be skipped if there is no SRV
resolution configured for this server or if the SRV record used is not the
same.
This patch should be backported as far as 1.8 after some observation period.
