When the sample validity flags are computed to check if a sample is used in
a valid scope, the flags depending on the proxy capabilities must be
cumulated. Historically, for a sample on the request, only the frontend
capability was used to set the sample validity flags while for a sample on
the response only the backend was used. But it is a problem for listen or
defaults proxies. For those proxies, all frontend and backend samples should
be valid. However, at many place, only frontend ones are possible.
For instance, it is impossible to set the backend name (be_name) into a
variable from a listen proxy.
This bug exists on all stable versions. Thus this patch should probably be
backported. But with some caution because the code has probably changed
serveral times. Note that nobody has ever noticed this issue. So the need to
backport this patch must be evaluated for each branch.
TCP and HTTP rules can now be defined in defaults sections, but only those
with a name. Because these rules may use conditions based on ACLs, ACLs can
also be defined in defaults sections.
However there are some limitations:
* A defaults section defining TCP/HTTP rules cannot be used by a defaults
section
* A defaults section defining TCP/HTTP rules cannot be used bu a listen
section
* A defaults sections defining TCP/HTTP rules cannot be used by frontends
and backends at the same time
* A defaults sections defining 'tcp-request connection' or 'tcp-request
session' rules cannot be used by backends
* A defaults sections defining 'tcp-response content' rules cannot be used
by frontends
The TCP request/response inspect-delay of a proxy is now inherited from the
defaults section it uses. For now, these rules are only parsed. No evaluation is
performed.
With the commit eaba25dd9 ("BUG/MINOR: tcpcheck: Don't use arg list for
default proxies during parsing"), we restricted the use of sample fetch in
tcpcheck rules defined in a defaults section to those depending on explicit
arguments only. This means a tcpcheck rules defined in a defaults section
cannot rely on argument unresolved during the configuration parsing.
Thanks to recent changes, it is now possible again.
This patch is mandatory to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections.
When the parsing of a defaults section is started, the previous anonymous
defaults section is removed. It may be a problem with referenced defaults
sections. And because all unused defautl proxies are removed after the
configuration parsing, it is not required to remove it so early.
This patch is mandatory to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections.
It is now possible to designate the defaults section to use by adding a name
of the corresponding defaults section and referencing it in the desired
proxy section. However, this introduces an ambiguity. This named defaults
section may still be implicitly used by other proxies if it is the last one
defined. In this case for instance:
default common
...
default frt from common
...
default bck from common
...
frontend fe from frt
...
backend be from bck
...
listen stats
...
Here, it is not really obvious the last section will use the 'bck' defaults
section. And it is probably not the expected behaviour. To help users to
properly configure their haproxy, a warning is now emitted if a defaults
section is explicitly AND implicitly used. The configuration manual was
updated accordingly.
Because this patch adds a warning, it should probably not be backported to
2.4. However, if is is backported, it depends on commit "MINOR: proxy:
Introduce proxy flags to replace disabled bitfield".
This change is required to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections. The
'disabled' bitfield in the proxy structure, used to know if a proxy is
disabled or stopped, is replaced a generic bitfield named 'flags'.
PR_DISABLED and PR_STOPPED flags are renamed to PR_FL_DISABLED and
PR_FL_STOPPED respectively. In addition, everywhere there is a test to know
if a proxy is disabled or stopped, there is now a bitwise AND operation on
PR_FL_DISABLED and/or PR_FL_STOPPED flags.
.disabled field in the proxy structure is documented to be a bitfield. So
use it as a bitfield. This change was introduced to the 2.5, by commit
8e765b86f ("MINOR: proxy: disabled takes a stopping and a disabled state").
No backport is needed except if the above commit is backported.
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 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().
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.
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.
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.
Add a new proxy capability for proxy with load-balancing capabilities.
This help to differentiate listen/frontend/backend with special proxies
such as peer proxies.
Add a new flag to mark a keyword as experimental. An experimental
keyword cannot be used if the global 'expose-experimental-directives' is
not present first.
Only keywords parsed through a standard cfg_keywords lists in
global/proxies section will be automatically detected if declared
experimental. To support a keyword outside of these lists,
check_kw_experimental must be called manually during its parsing.
If an experimental keyword is present in the config, the tainted flag is
updated.
For the moment, no keyword is marked as experimental.
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.
All allocation errors in cfg_parse_listen() are now handled in a unique
place under the "alloc_error" label. This simplify a bit error handling in
this function.
At several places during the proxy section parsing, memory allocation was
performed with no check. Result is now tested and an error is returned if
the allocation fails.
This patch may be backported to all stable version but it only fixes
allocation errors during configuration parsing. Thus, it is not mandatory.
Allocation error are now handled in bind_conf_alloc() functions. Thus
callers, when not already done, are also updated to catch NULL return value.
This patch may be backported (at least partially) to all stable
versions. However, it only fix errors durung configuration parsing. Thus it
is not mandatory.
Allocated variables are now released when an error occurred during
use_backend, use-server, force/ignore-parsing, stick-table, stick and stats
directives parsing. For some of these directives, allocation errors have
been added.
This patch may be backported to all stable version but it only fixes leaks
or allocation errors during configuration parsing. Thus, it is not
mandatory. It should fix issue #1119.
This patch registers the parsed file and the line where a log server
is declared to make those information available in configuration
post check.
Those new informations were added on error messages probed resolving
ring names on post configuration check.
Create a new function parse_new_proxy specifically designed to allocate
a new proxy from the configuration file and copy settings from the
default proxy.
The function alloc_new_proxy is reduced to a minimal allocation. It is
used for default proxy allocation and could also be used for internal
proxies such as the lua Socket proxy.
Modify the API of parse_server function. Use flags to describe the type
of the parsed server instead of discrete arguments. These flags can be
used to specify if a server/default-server/server-template is parsed.
Additional parameters are also specified (parsing of the address
required, resolve of a name must be done immediately).
It is now unneeded to use strcmp on args[0] in parse_server. Also, the
calls to parse_server are more explicit thanks to the flags.
Some are not always easy to spot with "chk" vs "check" or hyphens at
some places and not at others. Now entering "option http-close" properly
suggests "httpclose" and "option tcp-chk" suggests "tcp-check". There's
no need to consider the proxy's capabilities, what matters is to figure
what related word the user tried to spell, and there are not that many
options anyway.
Just like with the server keywords, now's the turn of "bind" keywords.
The difference is that 100% of the bind keywords are registered, thus
we do not need the list of extra keywords.
There are multiple bind line parsers today, all were updated:
- peers
- log
- dgram-bind
- cli
$ printf "listen f\nbind :8000 tcut\n" | ./haproxy -c -f /dev/stdin
[NOTICE] 070/101358 (25146) : haproxy version is 2.4-dev11-7b8787-26
[NOTICE] 070/101358 (25146) : path to executable is ./haproxy
[ALERT] 070/101358 (25146) : parsing [/dev/stdin:2] : 'bind :8000' unknown keyword 'tcut'; did you mean 'tcp-ut' maybe ?
[ALERT] 070/101358 (25146) : Error(s) found in configuration file : /dev/stdin
[ALERT] 070/101358 (25146) : Fatal errors found in configuration.
Let's start by the largest keyword list, the listeners. Many keywords were
still not part of a list, so a common_kw_list array was added to list the
not enumerated ones. Now for example, typing "tmout" properly suggests
"timeout":
$ printf "frontend f\ntmout client 10s\n" | ./haproxy -c -f /dev/stdin
[NOTICE] 070/091355 (22545) : haproxy version is 2.4-dev11-3b728a-21
[NOTICE] 070/091355 (22545) : path to executable is ./haproxy
[ALERT] 070/091355 (22545) : parsing [/dev/stdin:2] : unknown keyword 'tmout' in 'frontend' section; did you mean 'timeout' maybe ?
[ALERT] 070/091355 (22545) : Error(s) found in configuration file : /dev/stdin
[ALERT] 070/091355 (22545) : Fatal errors found in configuration.
This makes the code more readable and less prone to copy-paste errors.
In addition, it allows to place some __builtin_constant_p() predicates
to trigger a link-time error in case the compiler knows that the freed
area is constant. It will also produce compile-time error if trying to
free something that is not a regular pointer (e.g. a function).
The DEBUG_MEM_STATS macro now also defines an instance for ha_free()
so that all these calls can be checked.
178 occurrences were converted. The vast majority of them were handled
by the following Coccinelle script, some slightly refined to better deal
with "&*x" or with long lines:
@ rule @
expression E;
@@
- free(E);
- E = NULL;
+ ha_free(&E);
It was verified that the resulting code is the same, more or less a
handful of cases where the compiler optimized slightly differently
the temporary variable that holds the copy of the pointer.
A non-negligible amount of {free(str);str=NULL;str_len=0;} are still
present in the config part (mostly header names in proxies). These
ones should also be cleaned for the same reasons, and probably be
turned into ist strings.
A network may be specified to avoid header addition for "forwardfor" and
"orignialto" option via the "except" parameter. However, only IPv4
networks/addresses are supported. This patch adds the support of IPv6.
To do so, the net_addr structure is used to store the parameter value in the
proxy structure. And ipcmp2net() function is used to perform the comparison.
This patch should fix the issue #1145. It depends on the following commit:
* c6ce0ab MINOR: tools: Add function to compare an address to a network address
* 5587287 MINOR: tools: Add net_addr structure describing a network addess
Now it becomes possible to specify "from foo" on a frontend/listen/backend
or even on a "defaults" line, to mention that defaults section "foo" needs
to be used to preset the proxy's settings.
When not set, the last section remains used. In case the designated name
is found at multiple places, it is rejected and an error indicates two
occurrences of the same name. Similarly, if the section name is found,
its name must only use valid characters. This allows multiple named
defaults section to continue to coexist without the risk that they will
cause trouble by accident.
When it comes to "defaults" relying on another defaults, what happens is
just that a new defaults section is created from the designated one. This
will make it possible for example to reuse some settings such as log-format
like below:
defaults tcp-clear
log stdout local0 info
log-format "%ci:%cp/%b/%si:%sp %ST %ts %U/%B %{+Q}r"
defaults tcp-ssl
log stdout local0 info
log-format "%ci:%cp/%b/%si:%sp %ST %ts %U/%B %{+Q}r ssl=%sslv"
defaults http-clear from tcp-clear
mode http
defaults http-ssl from tcp-ssl
mode http
frontend fe1 from http-clear
bind :8001
frontend fe2 from http-ssl
bind :8002
A small corner case remains in the error detection, if a second defaults
section appears with the same name after the point where it was used, and
nobody references it, the duplicate will not be detected. This could be
addressed by performing the syntactic checks in check_config_validity(),
and by postponing the freeing of the defaults, after tagging a defaults
section as explicitly looked up by another section. This doesn't seem
that important at the moment though.
Now default proxies are stored into a dedicated tree, sorted by name.
Only unnamed entries are not kept upon new section creation. The very
first call to cfg_parse_listen() will automatically allocate a dummy
defaults section which corresponds to the previous static one, since
the code requires to have one at a few places.
The first immediately visible benefit is that it allows to reuse
alloc_new_proxy() to allocate a defaults section instead of doing it by
hand. And the secret goal is to allow to keep multiple named defaults
section in memory to reuse them from various proxies.
In order to make the default proxy configurable, we'll need to have a
pointer to it which might differ from &defproxy. cfg_parse_listen()
now gets curr_defproxy for this.
We don't want to expose this one anymore as we'll soon keep multiple
default proxies. Let's move it inside the parser which is the only
place which still uses it, and initialize it on the fly once needed
instead of doing it at boot time.
This used to be open-coded in cfgparse-listen.c when facing a "defaults"
keyword. Let's move this into proxy_free_defaults(). This code is ugly and
doesn't even reset the just freed pointers. Let's not change this yet.
This code should probably be merged with a generic proxy deinit function
called from deinit(). However there's a catch on uri_auth which cannot be
freed because it might be used by one or several proxies. We definitely
need refcounts there!
This new function takes over the old open-coding that used to be done
for too long in cfg_parse_listen() and it now does everything at once
in a proxy-centric function. The function does all the job of allocating
the structure, initializing it, presetting its defaults from the default
proxy and checking for errors. The code was almost unchanged except for
defproxy being passed as a pointer, and the error message being passed
using memprintf().
This change will be needed to ease reuse of multiple default proxies,
or to create dynamic backends in a distant future.
init_default_instance() was still left in cfgparse.c which is not the
best place to pre-initialize a proxy. Let's place it in proxy.c just
after init_new_proxy(), take this opportunity for renaming it to
proxy_preset_defaults() and taking out init_new_proxy() from it, and
let's pass it the pointer to the default proxy to be initialized instead
of implicitly assuming defproxy. We'll soon be able to exploit this.
Only two call places had to be updated.
The very old error message indicating that a proxy name is mandatory
still had a reference to the optional addr:port argument while this one
is explicitly rejected a few lines later since at least 1.9.
This is harmless but confusing. This can be backported to 2.0.
