The support for asynchronous mode, the ability to send messages on a
connection and receive the responses on any other connections, is removed.
It appears this feature was a bit overkill. And it is a problem for this
refactoring. This feature is removed and will not be restored at the end.
It is not a big deal for agent supporting the async mode because it is
usable if it is announced on both sides. HAProxy stops to announce it. This
should be transparent for agents.
The related issue is #2502.
It is the first patch of a long series to refactor the SPOE filter. The idea
is to rely on a dedicated multiplexer instead of hakcing HAProxy with a list
of applets processing a message queue.
First of all, optionnal features will be removed. Some will be restored at
the end, some others will just be removed. It is the case here. The frame
fragmentation support is removed. The only purpose of this feature is to be
able to support the streaming. Because it is out of the scope of this
refactoring, the fragmentation is removed.
The related issue is #2502.
This commit is the renaming counterpart of the previous one, this time
for quic_conn module. Several elements related to TID affinity update
from quic_conn has been renamed : public functions, but also flag
renamed to QUIC_FL_CONN_TID_REBIND and trace event to
QUIC_EV_CONN_BIND_TID.
This should be backported with the same instruction as the previous
commit.
Since the following patch, protocol API to update a connection TID
affinity has been extended.
commit 1a43b9f32c71267e3cb514aa70a13c75adb20742
MINOR: proto: extend connection thread rebind API
The single callback set_affinity has been splitted in 3 different
functions which are called at different stages during listener_accept(),
depending on accept queue push success or not. However, the naming was
rendered confusing by the usage of function prefix 1 and 2.
Rename proto callback related to TID affinity update and use the
following names :
* bind_tid_prep
* bind_tid_commit
* bind_tid_reset
This commit should probably be backported at least up to 3.0 with the
above patch. This is because the fix was recently backported and it
would allow to keep changes minimal between the two versions. It could
even be backported up to 2.8 if there is no major conflict.
Add a sent bytes counter for each quic_conn instance. A secondary field
which only account bytes sent via GSO which is useful to ensure if this
is activated.
For the moment, these counters are reported on "show quic" but not
aggregated on proxy quic module stats.
UDP GSO on Linux is not implemented in every network devices. For
example, this is not available for veth devices frequently used in
container environment. In such case, EIO is reported on send()
invocation.
It is impossible to test at startup for proper GSO support in this case
as a listener may be bound on multiple network interfaces. Furthermore,
network interfaces may change during haproxy lifetime.
As such, the only option is to react on send syscall error when GSO is
used. The purpose of this patch is to implement a fallback when
encountering such conditions. Emission can be retried immediately by
trying to send each prepared datagrams individually.
To support this, qc_send_ppkts() is able to iterate over each datagram
in a so-called non-GSO fallback mode. Between each emission, a datagram
header is rewritten in front of the buffer which allows the sending loop
to proceed until last datagram is emitted.
To complement this, quic_conn listener is flagged on first GSO send
error with value LI_F_UDP_GSO_NOTSUPP. This completely disables GSO for
all future emission with QUIC connections using this listener.
For the moment, non-GSO fallback mode is activated when EIO is reported
after GSO has been set. This is the error reported for the veth usage
described above.
Add <gso_size> parameter to qc_snd_buf(). When non-null, this specifies
the value for socket option SOL_UDP/UDP_SEGMENT. This allows to send
several datagrams in a single call by splitting data multiple times at
<gso_size> boundary.
For now, <gso_size> remains set to 0 by caller, as such there should not
be any functional change.
Future commits will implement GSO support to be able to emit multiple
datagrams in a single syscall invocation. This will be used every time
there is more data to sent than the UDP network MTU.
No change will be done for Tx buffer encoding, in particular when using
extra metadata datagram header. When GSO will be used, length field will
contain the total length of all datagrams to emit in a single GSO
syscall send. As such, QUIC send functions will detect that GSO is in
use if total length is greater than MTU.
This last assumption forces to ensure that MTU is constant. Indeed, in
case qc_send() is interrupted, Tx buffer will be left with prepared
datagrams. These datagrams will be emitted at the next qc_send()
invocation. If MTU would change during these two calls, it would be
impossible to know if GSO was used or not. To prevent this, mark <mtu>
field of quic_cc_path as constant.
Add a startup test for GSO support in quic_test_socketopts() and
automatically activate it in qc_prep_pkts() when building datagrams as
big as MTU.
Also define a new config option tune.quic.disable-udp-gso. This is
useful to prevent warning on older platform or to debug an issue which
may be related to GSO.
This patch is done in order to prepare the move of handlers to compute and to
check process related limits as maxconn, maxsock, maxpipes.
So, these handlers become no longer static due to the future move.
We add the handlers declarations in limits.h in this patch as well, in order to
keep the next patch, dedicated to code replacement, without any additional
modifications.
Such split also assures that this patch can be compiled separately from the
next one, where we moving the handlers. This is important in case of
git-bisect.
As raise_rlim_nofile() was moved to limits compilation unit, limits.h includes
the system <sys/resource.h>. So, this definition of rlimit system type
structure is no longer need for compilation of fd unit.
The code which gets, sets and checks initial and current fd limits and process
related limits (maxconn, maxsock, ulimit-n, fd-hard-limit) is spread around
different functions in haproxy.c and in fd.c. Let's group it together in
dedicated limits.c and limits.h.
This patch is done in order to prepare the moving of limits-related functions
from different places to the new 'limits' compilation unit. It helps to keep
clean the next patch, which will do only the move without any additional
modifications.
Such detailed split is needed in order to be sure not to break accidentally
limits logic and in order to be able to compile each commit separately in case
of git-bisect.
This is the second attempt at importing the updated mt_list code (commit
59459ea3). The previous one was attempted with commit c618ed5ff4 ("MAJOR:
import: update mt_list to support exponential back-off") but revealed
problems with QUIC connections and was reverted.
The problem that was faced was that elements deleted inside an iterator
were no longer reset, and that if they were to be recycled in this form,
they could appear as busy to the next user. This was trivially reproduced
with this:
$ cat quic-repro.cfg
global
stats socket /tmp/sock1 level admin
stats timeout 1h
limited-quic
frontend stats
mode http
bind quic4@:8443 ssl crt rsa+dh2048.pem alpn h3
timeout client 5s
stats uri /
$ ./haproxy -db -f quic-repro.cfg &
$ h2load -c 10 -n 100000 --npn h3 https://127.0.0.1:8443/
=> hang
This was purely an API issue caused by the simplified usage of the macros
for the iterator. The original version had two backups (one full element
and one pointer) that the user had to take care of, while the new one only
uses one that is transparent for the user. But during removal, the element
still has to be unlocked if it's going to be reused.
All of this sparked discussions with Fred and Aurlien regarding the still
unclear state of locking. It was found that the lock API does too much at
once and is lacking granularity. The new version offers a much more fine-
grained control allowing to selectively lock/unlock an element, a link,
the rest of the list etc.
It was also found that plenty of places just want to free the current
element, or delete it to do anything with it, hence don't need to reset
its pointers (e.g. event_hdl). Finally it appeared obvious that the
root cause of the problem was the unclear usage of the list iterators
themselves because one does not necessarily expect the element to be
presented locked when not needed, which makes the unlock easy to overlook
during reviews.
The updated version of the list presents explicit lock status in the
macro name (_LOCKED or _UNLOCKED suffixes). When using the _LOCKED
suffix, the caller is expected to unlock the element if it intends to
reuse it. At least the status is advertised. The _UNLOCKED variant,
instead, always unlocks it before starting the loop block. This means
it's not necessary to think about unlocking it, though it's obviously
not usable with everything. A few _UNLOCKED were used at obvious places
(i.e. where the element is deleted and freed without any prior check).
Interestingly, the tests performed last year on QUIC forwarding, that
resulted in limited traffic for the original version and higher bit
rate for the new one couldn't be reproduced because since then the QUIC
stack has gaind in efficiency, and the 100 Gbps barrier is now reached
with or without the mt_list update. However the unit tests definitely
show a huge difference, particularly on EPYC platforms where the EBO
provides tremendous CPU savings.
Overall, the following changes are visible from the application code:
- mt_list_for_each_entry_safe() + 1 back elem + 1 back ptr
=> MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_LOCKED() or MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_UNLOCKED()
+ 1 back elem
- MT_LIST_DELETE_SAFE() no longer needed in MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_UNLOCKED()
=> just manually set iterator to NULL however.
For MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_LOCKED()
=> mt_list_unlock_self() (if element going to be reused) + NULL
- MT_LIST_LOCK_ELT => mt_list_lock_full()
- MT_LIST_UNLOCK_ELT => mt_list_unlock_full()
- l = MT_LIST_APPEND_LOCKED(h, e); MT_LIST_UNLOCK_ELT();
=> l=mt_list_lock_prev(h); mt_list_lock_elem(e); mt_list_unlock_full(e, l)
Handshake for quic_conn instances runs on a single non-chosen thread. On
completion, listener_accept() is performed to select the less loaded
thread before initializing connection instance. As such, quic_conn
instance is migrated to the thread with its upper connection.
In case accept queue is full, listener_accept() fallback to local accept
mode, which cause the connection to be assigned to the current thread.
However, this is not supported by QUIC as quic_conn instance is left on
the previously selected thread. In most cases, this will cause a
BUG_ON() due to a task manipulation from an outside thread.
To fix this, handle quic_conn thread rebind in multiple steps using the
new extended protocol API. Several operations have been moved from
qc_set_tid_affinity1() to newly defined qc_set_tid_affinity2(), in
particular CID TID update. This ensures that quic_conn instance is not
prematurely accessed on the new thread until accept queue push is
guaranteed to succeed.
qc_reset_tid_affinity() is also newly defined to reassign the newly
created tasks and tasklets to the current thread. This is necessary to
prevent the BUG_ON() crash described above.
This must be backported up to 2.8 after a period of observation. Note
that it depends on previous patch :
MINOR: proto: extend connection thread rebind API
MINOR: listener: define callback for accept queue push
Extend API for connection thread rebind API by replacing single callback
set_affinity by three different ones. Each one of them is used at a
different stage of the operation :
* set_affinity1 is used similarly to previous set_affinity
* set_affinity2 is called directly from accept_queue_push_mp() when an
entry has been found in accept ring. This operation cannot fail.
* reset_affinity is called after set_affinity1 in case of failure from
accept_queue_push_mp() due to no space left in accept ring. This is
necessary for protocols which must reconfigure resources before
fallback on the current tid.
This patch does not have any functional changes. However, it will be
required to fix crashes for QUIC connections when accept queue ring is
full. As such, it must be backported with it.
Let's provide a default value for fd_hard_limit, if it's not set in the
configuration. With this patch we could set some specific default via
compile-time variable DEFAULT_MAXFD as well. Hope, this will be helpfull for
haproxy package maintainers.
make -j 8 TARGET=linux-glibc DEBUG=-DDEFAULT_MAXFD=50000
If haproxy is comipled without DEFAULT_MAXFD defined, the default will be set
to 1048576.
This is done to avoid killing the process by its watchdog, while it started
without any limitations in its configuration or in the command line and the
hard RLIMIT_NOFILE is extremely huge (~1000000000). We use in this case
compute_ideal_maxconn() to calculate maxconn and maxsock, maxsock defines the
size of internal fdtab, which becames very-very large as well. When
the process starts to simply loop over this fdtab (0(n)), this takes a lot of
time, so watchdog does it job.
To avoid this, maxconn now is always reduced to some reasonable value either
by explicit global.fd-hard-limit from configuration, or by its default. The
default may be changed at build-time and overwritten then by
global.fd-hard-limit at runtime. Explicit global.fd-hard-limit from the
configuration has always precedence over DEFAULT_MAXFD, if set.
Must be backported in all stable versions until v2.6.0, including v2.6.0.
Previous commit removed access/manipulation to QUIC CID global tree
outside of quic_cid module. This ensures that proper locking is always
performed.
This commit finalizes this cleanup by marking CID global tree as static
only to quic_cid source file. Initialization of this tree is removed
from proto_quic and now performed using dedicated initcalls
quic_alloc_global_cid_tree().
As a side change, complete CID global tree documentation, in particular
to explain CID global tree artificial splitting and ODCID handling.
Overall, the code is now clearer and safer.
haproxy generates for each QUIC connection a set of CID. The peer must
reuse them as DCID for its emitted packet. On datagram reception, DCID
field serves as identifier to dispatch them on their correct thread.
These CIDs are stored in a global CID tree. Access to this data
structure must always be protected with CID_LOCK. This commit is a
refactoring to regroup all CID tree access in quic_cid module. Several
code parts are ajusted :
* quic_cid_insert() is extended to check for insertion race-condition.
This is useful on quic_conn instantiation. Code where such race cannot
happen can use unsafe _quic_cid_insert() instead.
* on RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frame reception, existing quic_cid_delete()
function is used.
* remove tree lookup from qc_check_dcid(), extracted in the new
quic_cmp_cid_conn() function. Ultimately, the latter should be removed
as CID lookup could be conducted on quic_conn owned tree without
locking.
Ensure pseudo-header method is only constitued of valid characters
according to RFC 9110. If an invalid value is found, the request is
rejected and stream is resetted.
Previously only characters forbidden in headers were rejected (NUL/CR/LF),
but this is insufficient for :method, where some other forbidden chars
might be used to trick a non-compliant backend server into seeing a
different path from the one seen by haproxy. Note that header injection
is not possible though.
This must be backported up to 2.6.
Many thanks to Yuki Mogi of FFRI Security Inc for the detailed report
that allowed to quicky spot, confirm and fix the problem.
The MEMPROF_HASH_BITS variable was set to 10 without a possibility to
change it (beyond patching the code). After seeing a few reports already
with "other" being listed and a list with close to 1024 entries, it looks
like it's about time to either increase the hash size, or at least make
it configurable for special cases. As a reminder, in order to remain
fast, the algorithm searches no more than 16 places after the hash, so
when a table is almost full, searches are long and new places are rare.
The present patch just makes it possible to redefine it by passing
"-DMEMPROF_HASH_BITS=11" or "-DMEMPROF_HASH_BITS=12" in CFLAGS, and
moves the definition to defaults.h to make it easier to find. Such
values should be way sufficient for the vast majority of use cases.
Maybe in the future we'd change the default. At least this version
should be backported to ease rebuilds, say, till 2.8 or so.
Let's encapsulate the logic of 'reload' sockpair and master CLI listeners
creation, used by master CLI into a separate function, as we needed this
only in master-worker runtime mode. This makes the code of init() more
readable.
Guarded functions to kill a sticky session, stksess_kill()
stksess_kill_if_expired(), may or may not decrement and test its reference
counter before really killing it. This depends on a parameter. If it is set
to non-zero value, the ref count is decremented and if it falls to zero, the
session is killed. Otherwise, if this parameter is equal to zero, the
session is killed, regardless the ref count value.
In the code, these functions are always called with a non-zero parameter and
the ref count is always decremented and tested. So, there is no reason to
still have a special case. Especially because it is not really easy to say
if it is supported or not. Does it mean it is possible to kill a sticky
session while it is still referenced somewhere ? probably not. So, does it
mean it is possible to kill a unreferenced session ? This case may be
problematic because the session is accessed outside of any lock and thus may
be released by another thread because it is unreferenced. Enlarging scope of
the lock to avoid any issue is possible but it is a bit of shame to do so
because there is no usage for now.
The best is to simplify the API and remove this case. Now, stksess_kill()
and stksess_kill_if_expired() functions always decrement and test the ref
count before killing a sticky session.
When we try to kill a session, the shard must be locked before decrementing
the ref count on the session. Otherwise, the ref count can fall to 0 and a
purge task (stktable_trash_oldest or process_table_expire) may release the
session before we have the opportunity to acquire the lock on the shard to
effectively kill the session. This could lead to a double free.
Here is the scenario:
Thread 1 Thread 2
sktsess_kill(ts)
if (ATOMIC_DEC(&ts->ref_cnt) != 0)
return
/* here the ref count is 0 */
stktable_trash_oldest()
LOCK(&sh_lock)
if (!ATOMIC_LOAD(&ts->ref_cnf))
__stksess_free(ts)
UNLOCK(&sh_lock)
/* here the session was released */
LOCK(&sh_lock)
__stksess_free(ts) <--- double free
UNLOCK(&sh_lock)
The bug was introduced in 2.9 by the commit 7968fe3889 ("MEDIUM:
stick-table: change the ref_cnt atomically"). The ref count must be
decremented inside the lock for stksess_kill() and sktsess_kill_if_expired()
function.
This patch should fix the issue #2611. It must be backported as far as 2.9. On
the 2.9, there is no sharding. All the table is locked. The patch will have to
be adapted.
Compilation issue detected as follows by gcc:
In file included from src/ncbuf.c:19:
src/ncbuf.c: In function 'ncb_write_off':
include/haproxy/bug.h:144:10: error: unknown type name 'ssize_t'
144 | extern ssize_t write(int, const void *, size_t); \
Previous commit 8f204fa8ae ("MINOR: debug: print gdb hints when crashing")
broken on the CI where strlen() isn't known. Let's forward-declare it in
the __ABORT_NOW() functions, just like write(). No backport is needed.
To make bug reporting easier for users, when crashing, let's suggest
what to do. Typically when a BUG_ON() matches, only the current thread
is useful the vast majority of the time, while when the watchdog
triggers, all threads are interesting.
The messages are printed at the end after the dump. We may adjust these
with wiki links in the future is more detailed instructions are relevant.
If haproxy compiled with Linux capabilities support, let's show process
capabilities before applying the configuration and at runtime in 'show dev'
command output. This maybe useful for debugging purposes. Especially in
cases, when process changes its UID and GID to non-priviledged or it
has started and run under non-priviledged UID and needed capabilities are
set by admin on the haproxy binary.
'show dev' command is very convenient to obtain haproxy debugging information,
while process is run in container. Let's extend its output with version and
cmdline. cmdline is useful in a way, as it shows absolute binary path and its
arguments, because sometimes the person, who is debugging failing container is
not the same, who has created and deployed it.
argc and argv are stored in the exported global structure, because
feed_post_mortem() is added as a post check function callback in the
post_check_list. So we can't simply change the signature of
feed_post_mortem(), without breaking other post check callbacks APIs.
Parsers are not supposed to modify argv, so we can safely bypass its pointer
to debug_parse_cli_show_dev(), without copying all argument stings somewhere
in the heap or on stack.
To be able to show process capabilities before applying its configuration and
also at runtime in 'show dev' command output, we need to export the wrapper
around capget() syscall. It also seems more handy to place
__user_cap_header_struct in .data section and declare it as globally
accessible, as we always fill it with the same values. This avoids allocate
and fill these 8 bytes each time on the stack frame, when capget() or capset()
wrappers are called.
As shown in GH #2608 and ("BUG/MEDIUM: proxy: fix email-alert invalid
free"), simply calling free_email_alert() from free_proxy() is not the
right thing to do.
In this patch, we reuse proxy->email_alert.set memory space to introduce
proxy->email_alert.flags in order to support 2 flags:
PR_EMAIL_ALERT_SET (to mimic proxy->email_alert.set) and
PR_EMAIL_ALERT_RESOLVED (set once init_email_alert() was called on the
proxy to resolve email_alert.mailer pointer).
Thanks to PR_EMAIL_ALERT_RESOLVED flag, free_email_alert() may now
properly handle the freeing of proxy email_alert settings: if the RESOLVED
flag is set, then it means the .email_alert.mailers.name parsing hint was
replaced by the actual mailers pointer, thus no free should be attempted.
No backport needed: as described in ("BUG/MEDIUM: proxy: fix email-alert
invalid free"), this historical leak is not sensitive as it cannot be
triggered during runtime.. thus given that the fix is not backport-
friendly, it's not worth the trouble.
AWSLC lacks the SSL_CTX_set1_sigalgs_list define, however the function
exists, which disables the feature in HAProxy, even if we could have
build with it.
SSL_CTX_set1_client_sigalgs_list() is not available, though.
This patch introduce the define so the feature is enabled.
hlua burst timeout was introduced in 58e36e5b1 ("MEDIUM: hlua: introduce
tune.lua.burst-timeout").
It is a safety measure that allows to detect when too much time is spent
on a single lua execution (between 2 interruptions/yields), meaning that
the current thread is not able to perform other tasks. Such scenario
should be avoided because it will cause thread contention which may have
negative performance impact and could cause the watchdog to trigger. When
the burst timeout is exceeded, the current Lua execution is aborted and a
timeout error is reported to the user.
Unfortunately, the same error is currently being reported for cumulative
(AKA execution) timeout and for burst timeout, which may be confusing to
the user.
Indeed, "execution timeout" error historically results from the current
hlua context exceeding the total (cumulative) time it's allowed to run.
It is set per lua context using the dedicated tunables:
- tune.lua.session-timeout
- tune.lua.task-timeout
- tune.lua.service-timeout
We've already faced an user report where the user was able to trigger the
burst timeout and got "Lua task: execution timeout." error while the user
didn't set cumulative timeout. Thus the error was actually confusing
because it was indeed the burst timeout which was causing it due to the
use of cpu-intensive call from within the task without sufficient manual
"yield" keypoints around the cpu-intensive call to ensure it runs on a
dedicated scheduler cycle.
In this patch we make it so burst timeout related errors are reported as
"burst timeout" errors instead of "execution timeout" errors (which
in fact became the generic timeout errors catchall with 58e36e5b1).
To do this, hlua_timer_check() now returns a different value depending if
the exeeded timeout is the burst one or the cumulative one, which allows
us to return either HLUA_E_ETMOUT or HLUA_E_BTMOUT in hlua_ctx_resume().
It should improve the situation described in GH #2356 and may possibly be
backported with 58e36e5b1 to improve error reporting if it applies without
resistance.
AWS-LC have a lot of functions that does nothing, which are now
deprecated and emits some warning.
This patch disables the following useless functions that emits a warning:
SSL_CTX_get_security_level(), SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(),
ERR_load_SSL_strings(), RAND_keep_random_devices_open()
The list of deprecated functions is here:
https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/blob/main/docs/porting/functionality-differences.md
AWS-LC does not support the SSL_CTX_set_client_hello_cb() function from
OpenSSL which allows to analyze ciphers and signatures algorithm of the
ClientHello. However it supports the SSL_CTX_set_select_certificate_cb()
which allows the same thing but was the implementation from the
boringSSL side.
This patch uses the SSL_CTX_set_select_certificate_cb() as well as the
SSL_early_callback_ctx_extension_get() function to get the signature
algorithms.
This was successfully tested with openssl s_client as well as
testssl.sh.
This should allow to enable more reg-tests that depend on certificate
selection.
Require at least AWS-LC 1.22.0.
Move the code which is used to select the final certificate with the
clienthello callback. ssl_sock_client_sni_pool need to be exposed from
outside ssl_sock.c
This patch implements prerequisite log-profile struct and parser logic.
It has no effect during runtime for now.
Logformat expressions provided in log-profile "steps" are postchecked
during postparsing for each proxy "log" directive that makes use of a
given profile. (this allows to ensure that the logformat expressions
used in the profile are compatible with proxy using them)
Logger struct may benefit from having a "flags" struct member to set
or remove different logger states. For that, we reuse an existing
4 bytes hole in the logger struct to store a 2 bytes flags integer,
leaving the struct with a 2-bytes hole now.
Prerequisite work for log-profiles, we need to know under which proxy
context the logger is being used. When the info is not available, (ie:
global section or log-forward section, <px> is set to NULL)
'%OG' logformat alias may be used to report the log origin (when/where)
that triggered log generation using sess_build_logline().
Possible values are:
- "sess_error": log was generated during session error handling
- "sess_killed": log was generated during session abortion (killed
embryonic session)
- "txn_accept": log was generated right after frontend conn was accepted
- "txn_request": log was generated after client request was received
- "txn_connect": log was generated after backend connection establishment
- "txn_response": log was generated during server response handling
- "txn_close": log was generated at the final txn step, before closing
- "unspec": unknown or not specified
Documentation was updated.
This is another prerequisite work in preparation for log-profiles: in this
patch we make process_send_log() aware of the log origin, primarily aiming
for sess and txn logging steps such as error, accept, connect, close, as
well as relevant sess and stream pointers.
