If the OpenTracing filter is compiled using the 'OT_DEBUG=1' option, then
log messages are printed to stderr when the filter is running. In the log
one can then find (among other things) the order in which the function is
called and the value that the function returns (if it is not a void type).
Prior to applying this patch, no value returned by a function was logged.
Log output example:
[ 1] 0.038807 [OT]: flt_ot_init_per_thread(0x56365bd45ec0, 0x56365bd48210) {
[ 1] 0.038807 [OT]: ot_start(0x56365bd58920, 0x56365bd4e3a0, 0x7f561acba168:(nil)) {
[ 1] 0.038807 [OT]: } = 0
[ 1] 0.038807 [OT]: } = 0
This patch must be backported as far as 2.4.
This patch solves the problem reported in github issue #1204, where the
OpenTracing filter cannot communicate with the selected tracer if HAProxy
is run in daemon mode.
This commit also solves github issue #1274, where the problem manifests
itself when using the 'chroot' keyword in the HAProxy configuration.
This is solved so that the initialization of the OpenTracing plugin is
split into two operations, first the plugin (dynamic library) is loaded
before switching the HAProxy to daemon mode (or chroot) and then the
tracer thread is started.
This means that nothing is retrieved from the file system in runtime.
After applying this commit, opentracing C wrapper version 1.1.0 should be
used because the earlier version does not have separated initialization
functions.
This resolves GitHub issues #1204 and #1274.
The current "ADD" vs "ADDQ" is confusing because when thinking in terms
of appending at the end of a list, "ADD" naturally comes to mind, but
here it does the opposite, it inserts. Several times already it's been
incorrectly used where ADDQ was expected, the latest of which was a
fortunate accident explained in 6fa922562 ("CLEANUP: stream: explain
why we queue the stream at the head of the server list").
Let's use more explicit (but slightly longer) names now:
LIST_ADD -> LIST_INSERT
LIST_ADDQ -> LIST_APPEND
LIST_ADDED -> LIST_INLIST
LIST_DEL -> LIST_DELETE
The same is true for MT_LISTs, including their "TRY" variant.
LIST_DEL_INIT keeps its short name to encourage to use it instead of the
lazier LIST_DELETE which is often less safe.
The change is large (~674 non-comment entries) but is mechanical enough
to remain safe. No permutation was performed, so any out-of-tree code
can easily map older names to new ones.
The list doc was updated.
This one is the last optional module to build with haproxy, so let's move
it to addons/. It was renamed to "ot" as it was the only one whose USE_*
option did not match the directory name, now this is consistent.
Few changes were required, only the Makefile, and doc were adjusted, as
the directory was already self-contained and relocatable.
