Most fe and be counters are good candidates for being shared between
processes. They are now grouped inside "shared" struct sub member under
be_counters and fe_counters.
Now they are properly identified, they would greatly benefit from being
shared over thread groups to reduce the cost of atomic operations when
updating them. For this, we take the current tgid into account so each
thread group only updates its own counters. For this to work, it is
mandatory that the "shared" member from {fe,be}_counters is initialized
AFTER global.nbtgroups is known, because each shared counter causes the stat
to be allocated lobal.nbtgroups times. When updating a counter without
concurrency, the first counter from the array may be updated.
To consult the shared counters (which requires aggregation of per-tgid
individual counters), some helper functions were added to counter.h to
ease code maintenance and avoid computing errors.
cps_max (max new connections received per second), sps_max (max new
sessions per second) and http.rps_max (maximum new http requests per
second) all rely on shared counters (namely conn_per_sec, sess_per_sec and
http.req_per_sec). The problem is that shared counters are about to be
distributed over thread groups, and we cannot afford to compute the
total (for all thread groups) each time we update the max counters.
Instead, since such max counters (relying on shared counters) are a very
few exceptions, let's add internal (sess,conn,req) per sec freq counters
that are dedicated to cps_max, sps_max and http.rps_max computing.
Thanks to that, related *_max counters shouldn't be negatively impacted
by the thread-group distribution, yet they will not benefit from it
either. Related internal freq counters are prefixed with "_" to emphasize
the fact that they should not be used for other purpose (the shared ones,
which are about to be distributed over thread groups in upcoming commits
are still available and must be used instead). The internal ones could
eventually be removed at any time if we find another way to compute the
{cps,sps,http.rps)_max counters.
Now that we have a common struct between fe and be shared counters struct
let's perform some cleanup to merge duplicate members into the common
struct part. This will ease code maintenance.
proxies, listeners and server shared counters are now managed via helpers
added in one of the previous commits.
When guid is not set (ie: when not yet assigned), shared counters pointer
is allocated using calloc() (local memory) and a flag is set on the shared
counters struct to know how to manipulate (and free it). Else if guid is
set, then it means that the counters may be shared so while for now we
don't actually use a shared memory location the API is ready for that.
The way it works, for proxies and servers (for which guid is not known
during creation), we first call counters_{fe,be}_shared_get with guid not
set, which results in local pointer being retrieved (as if we just
manually called calloc() to retrieve a pointer). Later (during postparsing)
if guid is set we try to upgrade the pointer from local to shared.
Lastly, since the memory location for some objects (proxies and servers
counters) may change from creation to postparsing, let's update
counters->last_change member directly under counters_{fe,be}_shared_get()
so we don't miss it.
No change of behavior is expected, this is only preparation work.
fe_counters_shared and be_counters_shared may share some common members
since they are quite similar, so we add a common struct part shared
between the two. struct counters_shared is added for convenience as
a generic pointer to manipulate common members from fe or be shared
counters pointer.
Also, the first common member is added: shared fe and be counters now
have a flags member.
create include/haproxy/counters.h and src/counters.c files to anticipate
for further helpers as some counters specific tasks needs to be carried
out and since counters are shared between multiple object types (ie:
listener, proxy, server..) we need generic helpers.
Add some shared counters helper which are not yet used but will be updated
in upcoming commits.
Shareable counters are not tagged as shared counters and are dynamically
allocated in separate memory area as a prerequisite for being stored
in shared memory area. For now, GUID and threads groups are not taken into
account, this is only a first step.
also we ensure all counters are now manipulated using atomic operations,
namely, "last_change" counter is now read from and written to using atomic
ops.
Despite the numerous changes caused by the counters being moved away from
counters struct, no change of behavior should be expected.
As reported by Ilya in GH #2994, some cleanup parts in
sink_new_from_logger() function are not used.
We can actually simplify the cleanup logic to remove dead code, let's
do that by renaming "error_final" label to "error" and only making use
of the "error" label, because sink_free() already takes care of proper
cleanup for all sink members.
When we try to allocate a new SPOP stream, if an error is encountered,
spop_strm_destroy() is called to released the eventually allocated
stream. But, it must only be called if a stream was allocated. If the
reported error is an SPOP stream allocation failure, we must just leave to
avoid null-pointer dereference.
This patch should fix point 1 of the issue #2993. It must be backported as
far as 3.1.
These functions were copied from the channel API and modified to work with
applets using the new API or the legacy one. However, the comments were
updated accordingly. It is the purpose of this patch.
When a healthchecks is processed, once the first wakeup passed to start the
check, and as long as the expiration timer is not reached, only I/O events
are able to wake it up. It is an issue when there is a check timeout
defined. Especially if the connect timeout is high and the check timeout is
low. In that case, the healthcheck's task is never requeue to handle any
timeout update. When the connection is established, the check timeout is set
to replace the connect timeout. It is thus possible to report a success
while a timeout should be reported.
So, now, when an I/O event is handled, the healthcheck is requeue, except if
an success or an abort is reported.
Thanks to Thierry Fournier for report and the reproducer.
This patch must be backported to all stable versions.
In fwlc_srv_reposition(), set the server's tree_elt while we still hold
the lbprm read lock. While it was protected from concurrent
fwlc_srv_reposition() calls by the server's lb_lock, it was not from
dequeuing/requeuing that could occur if the server gets down/up or its
weight is changed, and that would lead to inconsistencies, and the
watchdog killing the process because it is stuck in an infinite loop in
fwlc_get_next_server().
This hopefully fixes github issue #2990.
This should be backported to 3.2.
rename _srv_postparse() internal function to srv_init() function and group
srv_init_per_thr() plus idle conns list init inside it. This way we can
perform some simplifications as srv_init() performs multiple server
init steps after parsing.
SRV_F_CHECKED flag was added, it is automatically set when srv_init()
runs successfully. If the flag is already set and srv_init() is called
again, nothing is done. This permis to manually call srv_init() earlier
than the default POST_CHECK hook when needed without risking to do things
twice.
while new_server() takes the parent proxy as argument and even assigns
srv->proxy to the parent proxy, it didn't actually inserted the server
to the parent proxy server list on success.
The result is that sometimes we add the server to the list after
new_server() is called, and sometimes we don't.
This is really error-prone and because of that hooks such as
REGISTER_POST_SERVER_CHECK() which as run for all servers listed in
all proxies may not be relied upon for servers which are not actually
inserted in their parent proxy server list. Plus it feels very strange
to have a server that points to a proxy, but then the proxy doesn't know
about it because it cannot find it in its server list.
To prevent errors and make proxy->srv list reliable, we move the insertion
logic directly under new_server(). This requires to know if we are called
during parsing or during runtime to either insert or append the server to
the parent proxy list. For that we use PR_FL_CHECKED flag from the parent
proxy (if the flag is set, then the proxy was checked so we are past the
init phase, thus we assume we are called during runtime)
This implies that during startup if new_server() has to be cancelled on
error paths we need to call srv_detach() (which is now exposed in server.h)
before srv_drop().
The consequence of this commit is that REGISTER_POST_SERVER_CHECK() should
not run reliably on all servers created using new_server() (without having
to manually loop on global servers_list)
REGISTER_POST_PROXY_CHECK() used to iterate over "main" proxies to run
registered callbacks. This means hidden proxies (and their servers) did
not get a chance to get post-checked and could cause issues if some post-
checks are expected to be executed on all proxies no matter their type.
Instead we now rely on the global proxies list. Another side effect is that
the REGISTER_POST_SERVER_CHECK() now runs as well for servers from proxies
that are not part of the main proxies list.
postcheck_log_backend() checks are executed no matter if the proxy
actually has the backend capability while the checks actually depend
on this.
Let's fix that by adding an extra condition to ensure that the BE
capability is set.
This issue is not tagged as a bug because for now it remains impossible
to have a syslog proxy without BE capability in the main proxy list, but
this may change in the future.
We have global proxies_list pointer which is announced as the list of
"all existing proxies", but in fact it only represents regular proxies
declared on the config file through "listen, frontend or backend" keywords
It is ambiguous, and we currently don't have a straightforwrd method to
iterate over all proxies (either public or internal ones) within haproxy
Instead we still have to manually iterate over multiple lists (main
proxies, log-forward proxies, peer proxies..) which is error-prone.
In this patch we add a struct list member (8 bytes) inside struct proxy
in order to store every proxy (except default ones) within a global
"proxies" list which is actually representative for all proxies existing
under haproxy process, like we already have for servers.
proxy_cond_disable() collects and prints cumulated connections for be and
fe proxies no matter their type. With shared stats it may cause issues
because depending on the proxy capabilities only fe or be counters may
be allocated.
In this patch we add some checks to ensure we only try to read from
valid memory locations, else we rely on default values (0).
init_srv_requeue() and init_srv_slowstart() functions are called after
initial server parsing via REGISTER_POST_SERVER_CHECK() hook, and they
are also manually called for dynamic server after the server is
initialized.
This may conflict with _srv_postparse() which is also registered via
REGISTER_POST_SERVER_CHECK() and called during dynamic server creation
To ensure functions don't conflict with each other, let's ensure they
are executed in proper order by calling init_srv_requeue and
init_srv_slowstart() from _srv_postparse() which now becomes the parent
function for server related postparsing stuff. No change of behavior is
expected.

fbbbc33df REGTESTS: Do not use REQUIRE_VERSION for HAProxy 2.5+
In resolve_sym_name() we declare a few symbols that we want to be able
to resolve. ha_dump_backtrace() was declared with a struct buffer instead
of a pointer to such a struct, which has no effect since we only want to
get the function's pointer, but produces a build warning with LTO, so
let's fix it.
This can be backported to 3.0.

A few typos were noticed while gathering info for the 3.2 announce
messages, this fixes them, and will probably constitute the last
commit of this release. There's no need to backport it unless commit
94055a5e7 ("MEDIUM: hlua: Add function to change the body length of
an HTTP Message") is backported.
It is not supported to reuse an lua httpclient instance to process several
requests. A new object must be created for each request. Thanks to the
previous patch ("BUG/MEDIUM: httpclient: Throw an error if an lua httpclient
instance is reused"), an error is now reported if this happens. But it is
not obvious for users. So the lua-api docuementation was updated accordingly.
This patch is related to issue #2986. It should be backported with the
commit above.
It is not expected/supported to reuse an httpclient instance to process
several requests. A new instance must be created for each request. However,
in lua, there is nothing to prevent a user to create an httpclient object
and use it in a loop to process requests.
That's unfortunate because this will apparently work, the requests will be
sent and a response will be received and processed. However internally some
ressources will be allocated and never released. When the next response is
processed, the ressources allocated for the previous one are definitively
lost.
In this patch we take care to check that the httpclient object was never
used when a request is sent from a lua script by checking
HTTPCLIENT_FS_STARTED flags. This flag is set when a httpclient applet is
spawned to process a request and never removed after that. In lua, the
httpclient applet is created when the request is sent. So, it is the right
place to do this test.
This patch should fix the issue #2986. It should be backported as far as
2.6.
VTest2 (https://github.com/vtest/VTest2) was released and is a remplacement
for VTest. VTest was archived. So let's use the new version now.
If this commit is backported, the 2 following commits must also be
backported:
* 2808e3577 ("REGTESTS: Explicitly allow failing shell commands in some scripts")
* 82c291124 ("REGTESTS: Make the script testing conditional set-var compatible with Vtest2")
An optional timeout was added to AppletTCP.receive() to interrupt calls after a
delay. It was mandatory to be able to implement interactive applets (like
trisdemo). However, this broke the API and it made impossible to differentiate
the shutdowns from the delays expirations. Indeed, in both cases, an empty
string was returned.
Because historically an empty string was used to notify a connection shutdown,
it should not be changed. So now, 'nil' value is returned when no data was
available before the delay expiration.
The new AppletTCP:try_receive() function was also affected. To fix it, instead
of stating there is no delay when a receive is tried, an expired delay is
set. Concretely TICK_ETERNITY was replaced by now_ms.
Finally, AppletTCP:getline() function is not concerned for now because there
is no way to interrupt it after some delay.
The documentation and trisdemo lua script were updated accordingly.
This patch depends on "BUG/MEDIUM: hlua: Properly detect shudowns for TCP
applets based on the new API". However, it is a 3.2-specific issue, so no
backport is needed.
The commit e5e36ce09 ("BUG/MEDIUM: hlua/cli: Fix lua CLI commands to work
with applet's buffers") fixed the TCP applets API to work with applets using
its own buffers. Howver the getline() function was not updated. It could be
an issue for anyone registering a CLI commands reading lines.
This patch should be backported as far as 3.0.
The internal function responsible to receive data for TCP applets with
internal buffers is buggy. Indeed, for these applets, the buffer API is used
to get data. So there is no tests on the SE to properly detect connection
shutdowns. So, it must be performed by hand after the call to b_getblk_nc().
This patch must be backported as far as 3.0.
The commit 03dc54d802 ("BUG/MINOR: ring: Fix I/O handler of "show event"
command to not rely on the SC") introduced a regression. By removing
dependencies on the SC, a test to detect client shutdowns was removed. So
now, the CLI applet is no longer released when the client shut the
connection during a "show event -w".
So of course, we should not use the SC to detect the shutdowns. But the SE
must be used insteead.
It is a 3.2-specific issue, so no backport needed.
It is now possile to set a label on a bind line. All sockets attached to
this bind line inherits from this label. The idea is to be able to groud of
sockets. For now, there is no mechanism to create these groups, this must be
done by hand.
Vtest2, that should replaced Vtest in few months, will reject any failing
commands in shell blocks. However, some scripts are executing some commands,
expecting an error to be able to parse the error output. So, now use "set
+e" in those scripts to explicitly state failing commads are expected.
It is just used for non-final commands. At the end, the shell block must
still report a success.
VTest2 will replaced VTest in few months. There is not so much change
expected. One of them is that a User-Agent header is added by default in all
requests, except if an custom one is already set or if "-nouseragent" option
is used. To still be compatible with VTest, it is not possible to use the
option to avoid the header addition. So, a custom user-agent is added in the
last test of "sample_fetches/cond_set_var.vtc" to be sure it will pass with
Vtest and Vtest2. It is mandatory because the request length is tested.
This is essentially in order to address the concerns expressed in
issue #2226 where it is mentioned that the moment they are called is
not clear enough. Admittedly, re-reading the paragraph doesn't make
it obvious on a quick read that they behave like functions. This patch
adds an extra paragraph that makes the parallel with programming
languages' boolean functions and explains the fact that they can be
multi-valued. Hoping this is clearer now.
Issue #2267 suggests that it's unclear what exactly the byte counts mean
(particularly when compression is involved). Let's clarify that the counts
are read on data input and that they also cover headers and a bit of
internal overhead.
Since commit 2c3d656f8 ("MEDIUM: h3: use absolute URI form with
:authority"), the absolute URI form is used when a ':authority'
pseudo-header is found. However, this URI was not declared as normalized
internally. So, when the request is reformated to be sent to an h1 server,
the absolute-form is used instead of the origin-form. It is unexpected and
may be an issue for some servers that could reject the request.
So, now, we take care to set HTX_SL_F_HAS_AUTHORITY flag on the HTX message
when an authority was found and HTX_SL_F_NORMALIZED_URI flag is set for
"http" or "https" schemes.
No backport needed because the commit above must not be backported. It
should fix a regression reported on the 3.2-dev17 in issue #2977.
This commit depends on "BUG/MINOR: h3: Set HTX flags corresponding to the
scheme found in the request".
