Export localpeer as the environment variable $HAPROXY_LOCALPEER,
allowing to use this variable in the configuration file.
It's useful to use this variable in the case of synchronized
configuration between peers.
When doing a seemless reload, while receiving the sockets from the old process
the new process will die if the socket has been bound to a specific
interface.
This happens because the code that tries to parse the informations bogusly
try to set xfer_sock->namespace, while it should be setting wfer_sock->iface.
This should be backported to 1.8.
Krishna Kumar reported a 100% cpu usage with a configuration using
cpu-map and a high number of threads,
Indeed, this minimal configuration to reproduce the issue :
global
nbthread 40
cpu-map auto:1/1-40 0-39
frontend test
bind :8000
This is due to a wrong type in a shift operator (int vs unsigned long int),
causing an endless loop while applying the cpu affinity on threads. The same
issue may also occur with nbproc under FreeBSD. This commit addresses both
cases.
This patch must be backported to 1.8.
Previously, -sf and -sd command line parsing used atol which cannot
detect errors. I had a problem where I was doing -sf "$pid1 $pid2 $pid"
and it was sending the gracefully terminate signal only to the first pid.
The change uses strtol and checks endptr and errno to see if the parsing
worked. It will exit when the pid list is not parsed.
[wt: this should be backported to 1.8]
fd_insert() is currently called just after setting the owner and iocb,
but proceeding like this prevents the operation from being atomic and
requires a lock to protect the maxfd computation in another thread from
meeting an incompletely initialized FD and computing a wrong maxfd.
Fortunately for now all fdtab[].owner are set before calling fd_insert(),
and the first lock in fd_insert() enforces a memory barrier so the code
is safe.
This patch moves the initialization of the owner and iocb to fd_insert()
so that the function will be able to properly arrange its operations and
remain safe even when modified to become lockless. There's no other change
beyond the internal API.
Since only select() and poll() still make use of maxfd, let's move
its computation right there in the pollers themselves, and only
during each fd update pass. The computation doesn't need a lock
anymore, only a few atomic ops. It will be accurate, be done much
less often and will not be required anymore in the FD's fast patch.
This provides a small performance increase of about 1% in connection
rate when using epoll since we get rid of this computation which was
performed under a lock.
A #ifdef/#endif on USE_THREAD was added in the commit 0048dd04 ("MINOR: threads:
Fix build when we're not compiling with threads.") to conditionally define the
start_lock variable, because HA_SPINLOCK_T is only defined when HAProxy is
compiled with threads.
If fact, to do that, we should use the macro __decl_hathreads instead.
If commit 0048dd04 is backported in 1.8, this one can also be backported.
Only declare the start_lock if threads are compiled in, otherwise
HA_SPINLOCK_T won't be defined.
This should be backported to 1.8 when/if
1605c7ae61 is backported.
A missing test causes a write(-1, $PID) to appear in strace output when
in master-worker mode. This is totally harmless though.
This fix must be backported to 1.8.
Marc Fournier reported an interesting case when using threads with the
master-worker mode : sometimes, a listener would have its FD closed
during startup. Sometimes it could even be health checks seeing this.
What happens is that after the threads are created, and the pollers
enabled on each threads, the master-worker pipe is registered, and at
the same time a close() is performed on the write side of this pipe
since the children must not use it.
But since this is replicated in every thread, what happens is that the
first thread closes the pipe, thus releases the FD, and the next thread
starting a listener in parallel gets this FD reassigned. Then another
thread closes the FD again, which this time corresponds to the listener.
It can also happen with the health check sockets if they're started
early enough.
This patch splits the mworker_pipe_register() function in two, so that
the close() of the write side of the FD is performed very early after the
fork() and long before threads are created (we don't need to delay it
anyway). Only the pipe registration is done in the threaded code since
it is important that the pollers are properly allocated for this.
The mworker_pipe_register() function now takes care of registering the
pipe only once, and this is guaranteed by a new surrounding lock.
The call to protocol_enable_all() looks fragile in theory since it
scans the list of proxies and their listeners, though in practice
all threads scan the same list and take the same locks for each
listener so it's not possible that any of them escapes the process
and finishes before all listeners are started. And the operation is
idempotent.
This fix must be backported to 1.8. Thanks to Marc for providing very
detailed traces clearly showing the problem.
fd_cache_num is the number of FDs in the FD cache. It is a global variable. So
it is underoptimized because we may be lead to consider there are waiting FDs
for the current thread in the FD cache while in fact all FDs are assigned to the
other threads. So, in such cases, the polling loop will be evaluated many more
times than necessary.
Instead, we now check if the thread id is set in the bitfield fd_cache_mask.
[wt: it's not exactly a bug, rather a design limitation of the thread
which was not addressed in time for the 1.8 release. It can appear more
often than we initially predicted, when more threads are running than
the number of assigned CPU cores, or when certain threads spend
milliseconds computing crypto keys while other threads spin on
epoll_wait(0)=0]
This patch should be backported to 1.8.
A number of counters have been added at special places helping better
understanding certain bug reports. These counters are maintained per
thread and are shown using "show activity" on the CLI. The "clear
counters" commands also reset these counters. The output is sent as a
single write(), which currently produces up to about 7 kB of data for
64 threads. If more counters are added, it may be necessary to write
into multiple buffers, or to reset the counters.
To backport to 1.8 to help collect more detailed bug reports.
This one allows not to inflate some structures when threads are
disabled. Now struct global is 1.4 kB instead of 33 kB.
Should be backported to 1.8 for ease of backporting of upcoming
patches.
The copy_argv() function lacks a check on '-' to remove the -x, -sf and
-st parameters.
When reloading a master process with a path starting by /st, /sf, or
/x.. the copy_argv() function skipped argv[0] leading to an execvp()
without the binary.
Closing the standard IO FDs (0,1,2) can be troublesome, especially in
the case of the master-worker.
Instead of closing those FDs, they are now pointing to /dev/null which
prevents sending debugging messages to the wrong FDs.
This patch could be backported in 1.8.
This patch makes sure that a frontend socket that gets created after
initialization won't be closed when the master gets re-executed.
When used in daemon mode, the master-worker is closing the FDs 0, 1, 2
after the fork of the children.
When the master was reloading, those FDs were assigned again during the
parsing of the configuration (probably for some listeners), and the
workers were closing them thinking it was the stdio.
This patch must be backported to 1.8.
The number of async fd is computed considering the maxconn, the number
of sides using ssl and the number of engines using async mode.
This patch should be backported on haproxy 1.8
There's a nasty case related to signaling all processes via SIGUSR1.
Since the master process still holds the peers sockets, the old process
trying to connect to the new one to teach it its tables has a risk to
connect to the master instead, which will not do anything, causing the
old process to hang instead of quitting.
This patch ensures we correctly close the peers in the master process
on startup, just like it is done for proxies. Ultimately we would rather
have a complete list of listeners to avoid such issues. But that's a bit
trickier as it would require using unbind_all() and avoiding side effects
the master could cause to other processes (like unlinking unix sockets).
To be backported to 1.8.
As with the call to cpuset_setaffinity(), FreeBSD expects the argument to
pthread_setaffinity_np() to be a cpuset_t, not an unsigned long, so the call
was silently failing.
This should probably be backported to 1.8.
This allows a calling script to show the first startup output and
know when to stop reading from stdout so haproxy can daemonize.
To be backpored to 1.8.
Check if master-worker pipe getenv succeeded, also allow pipe fd 0 as
valid. On FreeBSD in quiet mode the stdin/stdout/stderr are closed
which lets the mworker_pipe to use fd 0 and fd 1. Additionally exit()
upon failure to create or get the master-worker pipe.
This needs to be backported to 1.8.
This patch changes the behavior of the master during the exit of a
worker.
When a worker exits with an error code, for example in the case of a
segfault, all workers are now killed and the master leaves.
If you don't want this behavior you can use the option
"master-worker no-exit-on-failure".
During the migration to the second version of the pools, the new
functions and pool pointers were all called "pool_something2()" and
"pool2_something". Now there's no more pool v1 code and it's a real
pain to still have to deal with this. Let's clean this up now by
removing the "2" everywhere, and by renaming the pool heads
"pool_head_something".
Rename the global variable "proxy" to "proxies_list".
There's been multiple proxies in haproxy for quite some time, and "proxy"
is a potential source of bugs, a number of functions have a "proxy" argument,
and some code used "proxy" when it really meant "px" or "curproxy". It worked
by pure luck, because it usually happened while parsing the config, and thus
"proxy" pointed to the currently parsed proxy, but we should probably not
rely on this.
[wt: some of these are definitely fixes that are worth backporting]
Now, it is possible to bind CPU at the thread level instead of the process level
by defining a thread set in "cpu-map" directives. Thus, its format is now:
cpu-map [auto:]<process-set>[/<thread-set>] <cpu-set>...
where <process-set> and <thread-set> must follow the format:
all | odd | even | number[-[number]]
Having a process range and a thread range in same time with the "auto:" prefix
is not supported. Only one range is supported, the other one must be a fixed
number. But it is allowed when there is no "auto:" prefix.
Because it is possible to define a mapping for a process and another for a
thread on this process, threads will be bound on the intersection of their
mapping and the one of the process on which they are attached. If the
intersection is null, no specific binding will be set for the threads.
While using mmap() to allocate pools for debugging purposes, kill -USR1 caused
libc aborts in deinit() on two calls to free() on proxies' tasks and the global
listener task. The issue comes from the fact that we're using free() to release
a task instead of task_free(), so the task was allocated from a pool and released
using a different method.
This bug has been there since at least 1.5, so a backport is desirable to all
maintained versions.
Since we switched to notify mode in the systemd unit file in commit
d6942c8, haproxy won't start if the daemon keyword is present in the
configuration.
This change makes sure that haproxy remains in foreground when using
systemd mode and adds a note in the documentation.
This patch adds support for `Type=notify` to the systemd unit.
Supporting `Type=notify` improves both starting as well as reloading
of the unit, because systemd will be let known when the action completed.
See this quote from `systemd.service(5)`:
> Note however that reloading a daemon by sending a signal (as with the
> example line above) is usually not a good choice, because this is an
> asynchronous operation and hence not suitable to order reloads of
> multiple services against each other. It is strongly recommended to
> set ExecReload= to a command that not only triggers a configuration
> reload of the daemon, but also synchronously waits for it to complete.
By making systemd aware of a reload in progress it is able to wait until
the reload actually succeeded.
This patch introduces both a new `USE_SYSTEMD` build option which controls
including the sd-daemon library as well as a `-Ws` runtime option which
runs haproxy in master-worker mode with systemd support.
When haproxy is running in master-worker mode with systemd support it will
send status messages to systemd using `sd_notify(3)` in the following cases:
- The master process forked off the worker processes (READY=1)
- The master process entered the `mworker_reload()` function (RELOADING=1)
- The master process received the SIGUSR1 or SIGTERM signal (STOPPING=1)
Change the unit file to specify `Type=notify` and replace master-worker
mode (`-W`) with master-worker mode with systemd support (`-Ws`).
Future evolutions of this feature could include making use of the `STATUS`
feature of `sd_notify()` to send information about the number of active
connections to systemd. This would require bidirectional communication
between the master and the workers and thus is left for future work.
applets_active_queue is the active queue size. It is a global variable. So it is
underoptimized because we may be lead to consider there are active applets for a
thread while in fact all active applets are assigned to the otherthreads. So, in
such cases, the polling loop will be evaluated many more times than necessary.
Instead, we now check if the thread id is set in the bitfield active_applets_mask.
This is specific to threads, no backport is needed.
tasks_run_queue is the run queue size. It is a global variable. So it is
underoptimized because we may be lead to consider there are active tasks for a
thread while in fact all active tasks are assigned to the other threads. So, in
such cases, the polling loop will be evaluated many more times than necessary.
Instead, we now check if the thread id is set in the bitfield active_tasks_mask.
Another change has been made in process_runnable_tasks. Now, we always limit the
number of tasks processed to 200.
This is specific to threads, no backport is needed.
Since the commit cd7879adc ("BUG/MEDIUM: threads: Run the poll loop on the main
thread too"), the log buffers are allocated after the proxies startup. So log
messages produced during this startup was ignored.
To fix the bug, we restore the initialization of these buffers before proxies
startup.
This is specific to threads, no backport is needed.
At the end of the master initialisation, a call to protocol_unbind_all()
was made, in order to close all the FDs.
Unfortunately, this function closes the inherited FDs (fd@), upon reload
the master wasn't able to reload a configuration with those FDs.
The create_listeners() function now store a flag to specify if the fd
was inherited or not.
Replace the protocol_unbind_all() by mworker_cleanlisteners() +
deinit_pollers()
Does not use the deinit() function during a reload, it's dangerous and
might be subject to double free, segfault and hazardous behavior if
it's called twice in the case of a execvp fail.
After execvp fails, the signals were ignored, preventing to try a reload
again. It is now fixed by reaching the top of the mworker_wait()
function once the execvp failed.
When the master worker fail the execvp, it returns the wrong error
"Cannot allocate memory".
We now display the accurate error corresponding to the errno value.
If haproxy is started using the name of the binary only (i.e.
not using a relative or absolute path) the `execv` in
`mworker_reload` fails with `ENOENT`, because it does not
examine the `PATH`:
[WARNING] 315/161139 (7) : Reexecuting Master process
[WARNING] 315/161139 (7) : Cannot allocate memory
[WARNING] 315/161139 (7) : Failed to reexecute the master processs [7]
The error messages are misleading, because the return value of
`execv` is not checked. This should be fixed in a separate commit.
Once this happened the master process ignores any further
signals sent by the administrator.
Replace `execv` with `execvp` to establish the expected
behaviour.
This bug was introduced in commit 73b85e75b3.
At a number of places, bitmasks are used for process affinity and to map
listeners to processes. Every time 1UL<<(relative_pid-1) is used. Let's
create a "pid_bit" variable corresponding to this value to clean this up.
The first pid in the pidfile is now the parent, it's more convenient for
supervising the processus.
You can now reload haproxy in master-worker mode with convenient command
like: kill -USR2 $(head -1 /tmp/haproxy.pid)
This patch introduces a new struct conn_stream. It's the stream-side of
a multiplexed connection. A pool is created and destroyed on exit. For
now the conn_streams are not used at all.
There was a flaw in the way the threads was created. the main one was just used
to create all the others and just wait to exit. Now, it is used to run a poll
loop. So we only create nbthread-1 threads.
This also fixes a bug about the compression filter when there is only 1 thread
(nbthread == 1 or no threads support). The bug was in the way thread-local
resources was initialized. per-thread init/deinit callbacks were never called
for the main process. So, with nthread set to 1, some buffers remained
uninitialized.
By default, no affinity is set for threads. To bind threads on CPU, you must
define a "thread-map" in the global section. The format is the same than the
"cpu-map" parameter, with a small difference. The process number must be
defined, with the same format than cpu-map ("all", "even", "odd" or a number
between 1 and 31/63).
A thread will be bound on the intersection of its mapping and the one of the
process on which it is attached. If the intersection is null, no specific bind
will be set for the thread.
A lock for LB parameters has been added inside the proxy structure and atomic
operations have been used to update server variables releated to lb.
The only significant change is about lb_map. Because the servers status are
updated in the sync-point, we can call recalc_server_map function synchronously
in map_set_server_status_up/down function.
This list is used to save changes on the servers state. So when serveral threads
are used, it must be locked. The changes are then applied in the sync-point. To
do so, servers_update_status has be moved in the sync-point. So this is useless
to lock it at this step because the sync-point is a protected area by iteself.
Now, each proxy contains a lock that must be used when necessary to protect
it. Moreover, all proxy's counters are now updated using atomic operations.
2 global locks have been added to protect, respectively, the run queue and the
wait queue. And a process mask has been added on each task. Like for FDs, this
mask is used to know which threads are allowed to process a task.
For many tasks, all threads are granted. And this must be your first intension
when you create a new task, else you have a good reason to make a task sticky on
some threads. This is then the responsibility to the process callback to lock
what have to be locked in the task context.
Nevertheless, all tasks linked to a session must be sticky on the thread
creating the session. It is important that I/O handlers processing session FDs
and these tasks run on the same thread to avoid conflicts.
Many changes have been made to do so. First, the fd_updt array, where all
pending FDs for polling are stored, is now a thread-local array. Then 3 locks
have been added to protect, respectively, the fdtab array, the fd_cache array
and poll information. In addition, a lock for each entry in the fdtab array has
been added to protect all accesses to a specific FD or its information.
For pollers, according to the poller, the way to manage the concurrency is
different. There is a poller loop on each thread. So the set of monitored FDs
may need to be protected. epoll and kqueue are thread-safe per-se, so there few
things to do to protect these pollers. This is not possible with select and
poll, so there is no sharing between the threads. The poller on each thread is
independant from others.
Finally, per-thread init/deinit functions are used for each pollers and for FD
part for manage thread-local ressources.
Now, you must be carefull when a FD is created during the HAProxy startup. All
update on the FD state must be made in the threads context and never before
their creation. This is mandatory because fd_updt array is thread-local and
initialized only for threads. Because there is no pollers for the main one, this
array remains uninitialized in this context. For this reason, listeners are now
enabled in run_thread_poll_loop function, just like the worker pipe.
The function sync_poll_loop is called at the end of each loop inside
run_poll_loop function. It is a protected area where all threads have a chance
to execute tricky tasks with the warranty that no concurrent access is
possible. Of course, it comes with a cost because all threads must be
syncrhonized. So changes must be uncommon.
[WARNING] For now, HAProxy is not thread-safe, so from this commit, it will be
broken for a while, when compiled with threads.
When nbthread parameter is greater than 1, HAProxy will create the corresponding
number of threads. If nbthread is set to 1, nothing should be done. So if there
are concurrency issues (and be sure there will be, unfortunatly), an obvious
workaround is to disable the multithreading...
Each created threads will run a polling loop. So, in a certain way, it is pretty
similar to the nbproc mode ("outside" the bugs and the lock
contention). Nevertheless, there are an init and a deinit steps for each thread
to deal with per-thread allocation.
Each thread has a tid (thread-id), numbered from 0 to (nbtread-1). It is used in
many place to do bitwise operations or to improve debugging information.
hap_register_per_thread_init and hap_register_per_thread_deinit functions has
been added to register functions to do, for each thread, respectively, some
initialization and deinitialization. These functions are added in the global
lists per_thread_init_list and per_thread_deinit_list.
These functions are called only when HAProxy is started with more than 1 thread
(global.nbthread > 1).
This is a huge patch with many changes, all about the DNS. Initially, the idea
was to update the DNS part to ease the threads support integration. But quickly,
I started to refactor some parts. And after several iterations, it was
impossible for me to commit the different parts atomically. So, instead of
adding tens of patches, often reworking the same parts, it was easier to merge
all my changes in a uniq patch. Here are all changes made on the DNS.
First, the DNS initialization has been refactored. The DNS configuration parsing
remains untouched, in cfgparse.c. But all checks have been moved in a post-check
callback. In the function dns_finalize_config, for each resolvers, the
nameservers configuration is tested and the task used to manage DNS resolutions
is created. The links between the backend's servers and the resolvers are also
created at this step. Here no connection are kept alive. So there is no needs
anymore to reopen them after HAProxy fork. Connections used to send DNS queries
will be opened on demand.
Then, the way DNS requesters are linked to a DNS resolution has been
reworked. The resolution used by a requester is now referenced into the
dns_requester structure and the resolution pointers in server and dns_srvrq
structures have been removed. wait and curr list of requesters, for a DNS
resolution, have been replaced by a uniq list. And Finally, the way a requester
is removed from a DNS resolution has been simplified. Now everything is done in
dns_unlink_resolution.
srv_set_fqdn function has been simplified. Now, there is only 1 way to set the
server's FQDN, independently it is done by the CLI or when a SRV record is
resolved.
The static DNS resolutions pool has been replaced by a dynamoc pool. The part
has been modified by Baptiste Assmann.
The way the DNS resolutions are triggered by the task or by a health-check has
been totally refactored. Now, all timeouts are respected. Especially
hold.valid. The default frequency to wake up a resolvers is now configurable
using "timeout resolve" parameter.
Now, as documented, as long as invalid repsonses are received, we really wait
all name servers responses before retrying.
As far as possible, resources allocated during DNS configuration parsing are
releases when HAProxy is shutdown.
Beside all these changes, the code has been cleaned to ease code review and the
doc has been updated.
In order to prepare multi-thread development, code was re-worked
to propagate changes asynchronoulsy.
Servers with pending status changes are registered in a list
and this one is processed and emptied only once 'run poll' loop.
Operational status changes are performed before administrative
status changes.
In a case of multiple operational status change or admin status
change in the same 'run poll' loop iteration, those changes are
merged to reach only the targeted status.
The server state and weight was reworked to handle
"pending" values updated by checks/CLI/LUA/agent.
These values are commited to be propagated to the
LB stack.
In further dev related to multi-thread, the commit
will be handled into a sync point.
Pending values are named using the prefix 'next_'
Current values used by the LB stack are named 'cur_'
This string is used in sample fetches so it is safe to use a preallocated trash
chunk instead of a buffer dynamically allocated during HAProxy startup.
First, this variable does not need to be publicly exposed because it is only
used by stick_table functions. So we declare it as a global static in
stick_table.c file. Then, it is useless to use a pointer. Using a plain struct
variable avoids any dynamic allocation.
swap_buffer is a global variable only used by buffer_slow_realign. So it has
been moved from global.h to buffer.c and it is allocated by init_buffer
function. deinit_buffer function has been added to release it. It is also used
to destroy the buffers' pool.
During the configuration parsing, log buffers are reallocated when
global.max_syslog_len is updated. This can be done serveral time. So, instead of
doing it serveral time, we do it only once after the configuration parsing.
Now, we use init_log_buffers and deinit_log_buffers to, respectively, initialize
and deinitialize log buffers used for syslog messages.
These functions have been introduced to be used by threads, to deal with
thread-local log buffers.
Trash buffers are reallocated when "tune.bufsize" parameter is changed. Here, we
just move the realloc after the configuration parsing.
Given that the config parser doesn't rely on the trash size, it should be
harmless.
Now, we use init_trash_buffers and deinit_trash_buffers to, respectively,
initialize and deinitialize trash buffers (trash, trash_buf1 and trash_buf2).
These functions have been introduced to be used by threads, to deal with
thread-local trash buffers.
Use a cpuset_t instead of assuming the cpu mask is an unsigned long.
This should fix setting the CPU affinity on FreeBSD >= 11.
This patch should be backported to stable releases.
As mentionned in commit cf4e496c9 ("BUG/MEDIUM: build without openssl broken"),
commit 872f9c213 ("MEDIUM: ssl: add basic support for OpenSSL crypto engine")
broke the build without openssl support. But the former did only fix it when
openssl is not enabled, but not when it's not installed on the system :
In file included from src/haproxy.c:112:
include/proto/ssl_sock.h:24:25: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
In file included from src/haproxy.c:112:
include/proto/ssl_sock.h:45: error: syntax error before "SSL_CTX"
include/proto/ssl_sock.h:75: error: syntax error before '*' token
include/proto/ssl_sock.h:75: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `ssl_sock_create_cert'

include/proto/ssl_sock.h:76: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
include/proto/ssl_sock.h:77: error: syntax error before '*' token
Now we also surround the include with #ifdef USE_OPENSSL to fix this. No
backport is needed since openssl async engines were not backported.
When several stick-tables were configured with several peers sections,
only a part of them could be synchronized: the ones attached to the last
parsed 'peers' section. This was due to the fact that, at least, the peer I/O handler
refered to the wrong peer section list, in fact always the same: the last one parsed.
The fact that the global peer section list was named "struct peers *peers"
lead to this issue. This variable name is dangerous ;).
So this patch renames global 'peers' variable to 'cfg_peers' to ensure that
no such wrong references are still in use, then all the functions wich used
old 'peers' variable have been modified to refer to the correct peer list.
Must be backported to 1.6 and 1.7.
When starting the master worker with -sf or -st, the PIDs will be reused
on the next reload, which is a problem if new processes on the system
took those PIDs.
This patch ensures that we don't register old PIDs in the reload system
when launching the master worker.
Don't copy the -x argument anymore in copy_argv() since it's already
allocated in mworker_reload().
Make the copy_argv() more consistent when used with multiple arguments
to strip.
It prevents multiple -x on reload, which is not supported.
This patch fixes a segfault in the command line parser.
When haproxy is launched with -x with no argument and -x is the latest
option in argv it segfaults.
Use usage() insteads of exit() on error.
Commit cb11fd2 ("MEDIUM: mworker: wait mode on reload failure")
introduced a regression, when HAProxy is used in daemon mode, it exits 1
after forking its children.
HAProxy should exit(0), the exit(EXIT_FAILURE) was expected to be use
when the master fail in master-worker mode.
Thanks to Emmanuel Hocdet for reporting this bug. No backport needed.
The commit 872f9c213 ("MEDIUM: ssl: add basic support for OpenSSL crypto
engine") broke the build without openssl support.
The ssl_free_dh() function is not defined when USE_OPENSSL is not
defined and leads to a compilation failure.
This patch ensure that the children will exit when the master quits,
even if the master didn't send any signal.
The master and the workers are connected through a pipe, when the pipe
closes the children leave.
This option exits every workers when one of the current workers die.
It allows you to monitor the master process in order to relaunch
everything on a failure.
For example it can be used with systemd and Restart=on-failure in a spec
file.
In master worker mode, you can't specify the stats socket where you get
your listeners FDs on a reload, because the command line of the re-exec
is launched by the master.
To solve the problem, when -x is found on the command line, its
parameter is rewritten on a reexec with the first stats socket with the
capability to send sockets. It tries to reuse the original parameter if
it has this capability.
In Master Worker mode, when the reloading of the configuration fail,
the process is exiting leaving the children without their father.
To handle this, we register an exit function with atexit(3), which is
reexecuting the binary in a special mode. This particular mode of
HAProxy don't reload the configuration, it only loops on wait().
The master-worker will reload itself on SIGUSR2/SIGHUP
It's inherited from the systemd wrapper, when the SIGUSR2 signal is
received, the master process will reexecute itself with the -sf flag
followed by the PIDs of the children.
In the systemd wrapper, the children were using a pipe to notify when
the config has been parsed and when the new process is ready. The goal
was to ensure that the process couldn't reload during the parsing of the
configuration, before signals were send to old process.
With the new mworker model, the master parses the configuration and is
aware of all the children. We don't need a pipe, but we need to block
those signals before the end of a reload, to ensure that the process
won't be killed during a reload.
The SIGUSR1 signal is forwarded to the children to soft-stop HAProxy.
The SIGTERM and SIGINT signals are forwarded to the children in order to
terminate them.
This commit remove the -Ds systemd mode in HAProxy in order to replace
it by a more generic master worker system. It aims to replace entirely
the systemd wrapper in the near future.
The master worker mode implements a new way of managing HAProxy
processes. The master is in charge of parsing the configuration
file and is responsible for spawning child processes.
The master worker mode can be invoked by using the -W flag. It can be
used either in background mode (-D) or foreground mode. When used in
background mode, the master will fork to daemonize.
In master worker background mode, chroot, setuid and setgid are done in
each child rather than in the master process, because the master process
will still need access to filesystem to reload the configuration.
This patch adds the global 'ssl-engine' keyword. First arg is an engine
identifier followed by a list of default_algorithms the engine will
operate.
If the openssl version is too old, an error is reported when the option
is used.
When HAProxy is running with multiple processes and some listeners
arebound to processes, the unused sockets were not closed in the other
processes. The aim was to be able to send those listening sockets using
the -x option.
However to ensure the previous behavior which was to close those
sockets, we provided the "no-unused-socket" global option.
This patch changes this behavior, it will close unused sockets which are
not in the same process as an expose-fd socket, making the
"no-unused-socket" option useless.
The "no-unused-socket" option was removed in this patch.
Overall we do have an issue with the severity of a number of errors. Most
fatal errors are reported with ERR_FATAL (which prevents startup) and not
ERR_ABORT (which stops parsing ASAP), but check_config_validity() is still
called on ERR_FATAL, and will most of the time report bogus errors. This
is what caused smp_resolve_args() to be called on a number of unparsable
ACLs, and it also is what reports incorrect ordering or unresolvable
section names when certain entries could not be properly parsed.
This patch stops this domino effect by simply aborting before trying to
further check and resolve the configuration when it's already know that
there are fatal errors.
A concrete example comes from this config :
userlist users :
user foo insecure-password bar
listen foo
bind :1234
mode htttp
timeout client 10S
timeout server 10s
timeout connect 10s
stats uri /stats
stats http-request auth unless { http_auth(users) }
http-request redirect location /index.html if { path / }
It contains a colon after the userlist name, a typo in the client timeout value,
another one in "mode http" which cause some other configuration elements not to
be properly handled.
Previously it would confusingly report :
[ALERT] 108/114851 (20224) : parsing [err-report.cfg:1] : 'userlist' cannot handle unexpected argument ':'.
[ALERT] 108/114851 (20224) : parsing [err-report.cfg:6] : unknown proxy mode 'htttp'.
[ALERT] 108/114851 (20224) : parsing [err-report.cfg:7] : unexpected character 'S' in 'timeout client'
[ALERT] 108/114851 (20224) : Error(s) found in configuration file : err-report.cfg
[ALERT] 108/114851 (20224) : parsing [err-report.cfg:11] : unable to find userlist 'users' referenced in arg 1 of ACL keyword 'http_auth' in proxy 'foo'.
[WARNING] 108/114851 (20224) : config : missing timeouts for proxy 'foo'.
| While not properly invalid, you will certainly encounter various problems
| with such a configuration. To fix this, please ensure that all following
| timeouts are set to a non-zero value: 'client', 'connect', 'server'.
[WARNING] 108/114851 (20224) : config : 'stats' statement ignored for proxy 'foo' as it requires HTTP mode.
[WARNING] 108/114851 (20224) : config : 'http-request' rules ignored for proxy 'foo' as they require HTTP mode.
[ALERT] 108/114851 (20224) : Fatal errors found in configuration.
The "requires HTTP mode" errors are just pollution resulting from the
improper spelling of this mode earlier. The unresolved reference to the
userlist is caused by the extra colon on the declaration, and the warning
regarding the missing timeouts is caused by the wrong character.
Now it more accurately reports :
[ALERT] 108/114900 (20225) : parsing [err-report.cfg:1] : 'userlist' cannot handle unexpected argument ':'.
[ALERT] 108/114900 (20225) : parsing [err-report.cfg:6] : unknown proxy mode 'htttp'.
[ALERT] 108/114900 (20225) : parsing [err-report.cfg:7] : unexpected character 'S' in 'timeout client'
[ALERT] 108/114900 (20225) : Error(s) found in configuration file : err-report.cfg
[ALERT] 108/114900 (20225) : Fatal errors found in configuration.
Despite not really a fix, this patch should be backported at least to 1.7,
possibly even 1.6, and 1.5 since it hardens the config parser against
certain bad situations like the recently reported use-after-free and the
last null dereference.
When running with multiple process, if some proxies are just assigned
to some processes, the other processes will just close the file descriptors
for the listening sockets. However, we may still have to provide those
sockets when reloading, so instead we just try hard to pretend those proxies
are dead, while keeping the sockets opened.
A new global option, no-reused-socket", has been added, to restore the old
behavior of closing the sockets not bound to this process.
Add the "-x" flag, that takes a path to a unix socket as an argument. If
used, haproxy will connect to the socket, and asks to get all the
listening sockets from the old process. Any failure is fatal.
This is needed to get seamless reloads on linux.

When SIGUSR1 is received, haproxy enters in soft-stop and quits when no
connection remains.
It can happen that the instance remains alive for a long time, depending
on timeouts and traffic. This option ensures that soft-stop won't run
for too long.
Example:
global
hard-stop-after 30s # Once in soft-stop, the instance will remain
# alive for at most 30 seconds.
The trash buffers are becoming increasingly complex to deal with due to
the code's modularity allowing some functions to be chained and causing
the same chunk buffers to be used multiple times along the chain, possibly
corrupting each other. In fact the trash were designed from scratch for
explicitly not surviving a function call but string manipulation makes
this impossible most of the time while not fullfilling the need for
reliable temporary chunks.
Here we introduce the ability to allocate a temporary trash chunk which
is reserved, so that it will not conflict with the trash chunks other
functions use, and will even support reentrant calls (eg: build_logline).
For this, we create a new pool which is exactly the size of a usual chunk
buffer plus the size of the chunk struct so that these chunks when allocated
are exactly the same size as the ones returned by get_trash_buffer(). These
chunks may fail so the caller must check them, and the caller is also
responsible for freeing them.
The code focuses on minimal changes and ease of reliable backporting
because it will be needed in stable versions in order to support next
patch.
UDP sockets used to send DNS queries are created before fork happens and
this is a big problem because all the processes (in case of a
configuration starting multiple processes) share the same socket. Some
processes may consume responses dedicated to an other one, some servers
may be disabled, some IPs changed, etc...
As a workaround, this patch close the existing socket and create a new
one after the fork() has happened.
[wt: backport this to 1.7]
The function dns_init_resolvers() is used to initialize socket used to
send DNS queries.
This patch gives the function the ability to close a socket before
re-opening it.
[wt: this needs to be backported to 1.7 for next fix]
In systemd mode (-Ds), the master haproxy process is waiting for each
child to exit in a specific order. If a process die when it's not his
turn, it will become a zombie process until every processes exit.
The master is now waiting for any process to exit in any order.
This patch should be backported to 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5.
Historically a lot of SSL global settings were stored into the global
struct, but we've reached a point where there are 3 ifdefs in it just
for this, and others in haproxy.c to initialize it.
This patch moves all the private fields to a new struct "global_ssl"
stored in ssl_sock.c. This includes :
char *crt_base;
char *ca_base;
char *listen_default_ciphers;
char *connect_default_ciphers;
int listen_default_ssloptions;
int connect_default_ssloptions;
int tune.sslprivatecache; /* Force to use a private session cache even if nbproc > 1 */
unsigned int tune.ssllifetime; /* SSL session lifetime in seconds */
unsigned int tune.ssl_max_record; /* SSL max record size */
unsigned int tune.ssl_default_dh_param; /* SSL maximum DH parameter size */
int tune.ssl_ctx_cache; /* max number of entries in the ssl_ctx cache. */
The "tune" part was removed (useless here) and the occasional "ssl"
prefixes were removed as well. Thus for example instead of
global.tune.ssl_default_dh_param
we now have :
global_ssl.default_dh_param
A few initializers were present in the constructor, they could be brought
back to the structure declaration.
A few other entries had to stay in global for now. They concern memory
calculationn (used in haproxy.c) and stats (used in stats.c).
The code is already much cleaner now, especially for global.h and haproxy.c
which become readable.
tlskeys_finalize_config() was the only reason for haproxy.c to still
require ifdef and includes for ssl_sock. This one fits perfectly well
in the late initializers so it was changed to be registered with
hap_register_post_check().
Now we can simply check the transport layer at run time and decide
whether or not to initialize or destroy these entries. This removes
other ifdefs and includes from cfgparse.c, haproxy.c and hlua.c.
Instead of hard-coding all SSL destruction in cfgparse.c and haproxy.c,
we now register this new function as the transport layer's destroy_bind_conf()
and call it only when defined. This removes some non-obvious SSL-specific
code and #ifdefs from cfgparse.c and haproxy.c
This finishes to clean up the zlib-specific parts. It also unbreaks recent
commit b97c6fb ("CLEANUP: compression: use the build options list to report
the algos") which broke USE_ZLIB due to MAXWBITS not being defined anymore
in haproxy.c.
We replaced global.deviceatlas with global_deviceatlas since there's no need
to store all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs,
and now the code is 100% self-contained in da.c. The file da.h was now
removed because it was only used to load dac.h, which is more easily
loaded directly from da.c. It provides another good example of how to
integrate code in the future without touching the core parts.
We replaced global._51degrees with global_51degrees since there's no need
to store all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs,
and now the code is 100% self-contained in 51d.c. The file 51d.h was now
removed because it was only used to load 51Degrees.h, which is more easily
loaded from 51d.c. It provides a good example of how to integrate code in
the future without touching the core parts.
We replaced global.wurfl with global_wurfl since there's no need to store
all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs, and now
the code is 100% self-contained in wurfl.c. It provides a good example of
how to integrate code in the future without touching the core parts.
deinit_51degrees() is not called anymore from haproxy.c, removing
2 #ifdefs and one include. The function was made static. The include
file still includes 51Degrees.h which is needed by global.h and 51d.c
so it was not touched beyond this last function removal.
By registering the deinit function we avoid another #ifdef in haproxy.c.
The ha_wurfl_deinit() function has been made static and unexported. Now
proto/wurfl.h is totally empty, the code being self-contained in wurfl.c,
so the useless .h has been removed.
The 3 device detection engines stop at the same place in deinit()
with the usual #ifdefs. Similar to the other functions we can have
some late deinitialization functions. These functions do not return
anything however so we have to use a different type.
Instead of having a #ifdef in the main init code we now use the registered
init functions. Doing so also enables error checking as errors were previously
reported as alerts but ignored. Also they were incorrect as the 'status'
variable was hidden by a second one and was always reporting DA_SYS (which
is apparently an error) in every case including the case where no file was
loaded. The init_deviceatlas() function was unexported since it's not used
outside of this place anymore.
This removes some #ifdefs from the main haproxy code path. Function
init_51degrees() now returns ERR_* instead of exit(1) on error, and
this function was made static and is not exported anymore.
This removes some #ifdefs from the main haproxy code path and enables
error checking. The current code only makes use of warnings even for
some errors that look serious. While this choice is questionnable, it
has been kept as-is, and only the return codes were adapted to ERR_WARN
to at least report that some warnings were emitted. ha_wurfl_init() was
unexported as it's not needed anymore.
Instead of calling the checks directly from the init code, we now
register the start_checks() function to be run at this point. This
also allows to unexport the check init function and to remove one
include from haproxy.c.
There's a significant amount of late initialization calls which are
performed after the point where we exit in check mode. These calls
are used to allocate resource and perform certain slow operations.
Let's have a way to register some functions which need to be called
there instead of having this multitude of #ifdef in the init path.
This removes 2 #ifdef, an include, an ugly construct and a wild "extern"
declaration from haproxy.c. The message indicating that compression is
*not* enabled is not there anymore.
Many extensions now report some build options to ease debugging, but
this is now being done at the expense of code maintainability. Let's
provide a registration function to do this so that we can start to
remove most of the #ifdefs from haproxy.c (18 currently just for a
single function).
<run_queue> is used to track the number of task in the run queue and
<run_queue_cur> is a copy used for the reporting purpose. These counters has
been renamed, respectively, <tasks_run_queue> and <tasks_run_queue_cur>. So the
naming is consistent between tasks and applets.
[wt: needed for next fixes, backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
As for tasks, 2 counters has been added to track :
* the total number of applets : nb_applets
* the number of active applets : applets_active_queue
[wt: needed for next fixes, to backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
Now it is possible to use variables attached to a process. The scope name is
'proc'. These variables are released only when HAProxy is stopped.
'tune.vars.proc-max-size' directive has been added to confiure the maximum
amount of memory used by "proc" variables. And because memory accounting is
hierachical for variables, memory for "proc" vars includes memory for "sess"
vars.
This code has been moved from haproxy.c to sample.c and the function
release_sample_expr can now be called from anywhere to release a sample
expression. This function will be used by the stream processing offload engine
(SPOE).
It is very common when validating a configuration out of production not to
have access to the same resolvers and to fail on server address resolution,
making it difficult to test a configuration. This option simply appends the
"none" method to the list of address resolution methods for all servers,
ensuring that even if the libc fails to resolve an address, the startup
sequence is not interrupted.
Server addresses are not resolved anymore upon the first pass so that we
don't fail if an address cannot be resolved by the libc. Instead they are
processed all at once after the configuration is fully loaded, by the new
function srv_init_addr(). This function only acts on the server's address
if this address uses an FQDN, which appears in server->hostname.
For now the function does two things, to followup with HAProxy's historical
default behavior:
1. apply server IP address found in server-state file if runtime DNS
resolution is enabled for this server
2. use the DNS resolver provided by the libc
If none of the 2 options above can find an IP address, then an error is
returned.
All of this will be needed to support the new server parameter "init-addr".
For now, the biggest user-visible change is that all server resolution errors
are dumped at once instead of causing a startup failure one by one.
Currently, the function which applies server states provided by the
"old" process is applied after configuration sanity check. This results
in the impossibility to check the validity of the state file during a
regular config check, implying a full start is required, which can be
a problem sometimes.
This patch moves the loading of server_state file before MODE_CHECK.
The only reason wurfl/wurfl.h was needed outside of wurfl.c was to expose
wurfl_handle which is a pointer to a structure, referenced by global.h.
By just storing a void* there instead, we can confine all wurfl code to
wurfl.c, which is really nice.
WURFL is a high-performance and low-memory footprint mobile device
detection software component that can quickly and accurately detect
over 500 capabilities of visiting devices. It can differentiate between
portable mobile devices, desktop devices, SmartTVs and any other types
of devices on which a web browser can be installed.
In order to add WURFL device detection support, you would need to
download Scientiamobile InFuze C API and install it on your system.

Right now there is an issue with the way the maintenance flags are
propagated upon startup. They are not propagate, just copied from the
tracked server. This implies that depending on the server's order, some
tracking servers may not be marked down. For example this configuration
does not work as expected :
server s1 1.1.1.1:8000 track s2
server s2 1.1.1.1:8000 track s3
server s3 1.1.1.1:8000 track s4
server s4 wtap:8000 check inter 1s disabled
It results in s1/s2 being up, and s3/s4 being down, while all of them
should be down.
The only clean way to process this is to run through all "root" servers
(those not tracking any other server), and to propagate their state down
to all their trackers. This is the same algorithm used to propagate the
state changes. It has to be done both to compute the IDRAIN flag and the
IMAINT flag. However, doing so requires that tracking servers are not
marked as inherited maintenance anymore while parsing the configuration
(and given that it is wrong, better drop it).
This fix also addresses another side effect of the bug above which is
that the IDRAIN/IMAINT flags are stored in the state files, and if
restored while the tracked server doesn't have the equivalent flag,
the servers may end up in a situation where it's impossible to remove
these flags. For example in the configuration above, after removing
"disabled" on server s4, the other servers would have remained down,
and not anymore with this fix. Similarly, the combination of IMAINT
or IDRAIN with their respective forced modes was not accepted on
reload, which is wrong as well.
This bug has been present at least since 1.5, maybe even 1.4 (it came
with tracking support). The fix needs to be backported there, though
the srv-state parts are irrelevant.
This commit relies on previous patch to silence warnings on startup.
Pierre Cheynier found that there's a persistent issue with the systemd
wrapper. Too fast reloads can lead to certain old processes not being
signaled at all and continuing to run. The problem was tracked down as
a race between the startup and the signal processing : nothing prevents
the wrapper from starting new processes while others are still starting,
and the resulting pid file will only contain the latest pids in this
case. This can happen with large configs and/or when a lot of SSL
certificates are involved.
In order to solve this we want the wrapper to wait for the new processes
to complete their startup. But we also want to ensure it doesn't wait for
nothing in case of error.
The solution found here is to create a pipe between the wrapper and the
sub-processes. The wrapper waits on the pipe and the sub-processes are
expected to close this pipe once they completed their startup. That way
we don't queue up new processes until the previous ones have registered
their pids to the pid file. And if anything goes wrong, the wrapper is
immediately released. The only thing is that we need the sub-processes
to know the pipe's file descriptor. We pass it in an environment variable
called HAPROXY_WRAPPER_FD.
It was confirmed both by Pierre and myself that this completely solves
the "zombie" process issue so that only the new processes continue to
listen on the sockets.
It seems that in the future this stuff could be moved to the haproxy
master process, also getting rid of an environment variable.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
With Linux officially introducing SO_REUSEPORT support in 3.9 and
its mainstream adoption we have seen more people running into strange
SO_REUSEPORT related issues (a process management issue turning into
hard to diagnose problems because the kernel load-balances between the
new and an obsolete haproxy instance).
Also some people simply want the guarantee that the bind fails when
the old process is still bound.
This change makes SO_REUSEPORT configurable, introducing the command
line argument "-dR" and the noreuseport configuration directive.
A backport to 1.6 should be considered.
pcre_version() returns the running PCRE release, not the release
haproxy was built with.
This simple string fix should be backported to supported releases,
as the output may be confusing.
When the requested amount of FDs cannot be allocated, setrlimit() fails.
That's bad because if the limit is set to 1024 and we need 10000, we
stay on 1024 while we could possibly raise it to 4096 thanks to rlim_max.
This patch takes care of trying to assign rlim_cur to rlim_max on failure
so that we get as much as possible if we can't get all we need. The case
is particularly visible when starting haproxy as a non-privileged user
and a large maxconn is specified in the configuration.
Another point of doing this is that it is the only way to allow us to
close inherited FDs upon fork(), ie those between rlim_cur and rlim_max.
This patch may be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
global.rlimit_nofile contains the mxa number of file descriptors that
can be allocated, except if the user is not allowed to reach this limit,
where it still contains the initially requested value. It is important
that this value always matches what is really configured so that it is
properly reported in the stats and that we can use it later to close
all FDs without wasting time closing impossible FDs.
This fix may be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
This patch removes setlocale from the main function. It was introduced
by commit 379d9c7 ("MEDIUM: init: allow directory as argument of -f")
in 1.7-dev a few commits ago after a discussion on the mailing list.
Some regex may have different behaviours depending on the
locale. Some LUA scripts may change their behaviour too
(http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaLocales).
Without this patch (haproxy is using setlocale) :
$ cat locale.cfg
defaults
mode http
frontend test
bind :9000
mode http
use_backend testbk if { hdr_reg(X-Test) ^\w+$ }
backend testbk
mode http
server s 127.0.0.1:80
$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./haproxy -f locale.cfg
$ curl -i -H "X-Test: échec" localhost:9000
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
$ LANG=C ./haproxy -f locale.cfg
$ curl -i -H "X-Test: échec" localhost:9000
HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable
...
If -f argument is a directory add all the files (and only files) it
containes to the config files list.
These files are added in lexical order (respecting LC_COLLATE).
Only files with ".cfg" extension are added.
Only non hidden files (not prefixed with ".") are added.
Symlink are followed.
The -f order is still respected:
$ tree -a rootdir
rootdir
|-- dir1
| |-- .6.cfg
| |-- 1.cfg
| |-- 2
| |-- 3.cfg
| |-- 4.cfg -> 1.cfg
| |-- 5 -> 1.cfg
| |-- 7.cfg -> .
| `-- dir4
| `-- 8.cfg
|-- dir2
| |-- 10.cfg
| `-- 9.cfg
|-- dir3
| `-- 11.cfg
|-- link -> dir3/
|-- root1
|-- root2
`-- root3
$ ./haproxy -C rootdir -f root2 -f dir2 -f root3 -f dir1 \
-f link -f root1
root2
dir2/10.cfg
dir2/9.cfg
root3
dir1/1.cfg
dir1/3.cfg
dir1/4.cfg
link/11.cfg
root1
This can be useful on systemd where you can't change the haproxy
commande line options on service reload.

In C89, "void *" is automatically promoted to any pointer type. Casting
the result of malloc/calloc to the type of the LHS variable is therefore
unneeded.
Most of this patch was built using this Coccinelle patch:

Unfortunately, either Coccinelle or I is too limited to detect situation
where a complex RHS expression is of type "void *" and therefore casting
is not needed. Those cases were manually examined and corrected.

- BUG/MINOR: log: GMT offset not updated when entering/leaving DST
GMT offset used in local time formats was computed at startup, but was not updated when DST status changed while running.
For example these two RFC5424 syslog traces where emitted 5 seconds apart, just before and after DST changed:
<14>1 2016-03-27T01:59:58+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 2098 - - Connect ...
<14>1 2016-03-27T03:00:03+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 2098 - - Connect ...
It looked like they were emitted more than 1 hour apart, unlike with the fix:
<14>1 2016-03-27T01:59:58+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 3381 - - Connect ...
<14>1 2016-03-27T03:00:03+02:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 3381 - - Connect ...
This patch should be backported to 1.6 and partially to 1.5 (no fix needed in log.c).
The +E mode escapes characters '"', '\' and ']' with '\' as prefix. It
mostly makes sense to use it in the RFC5424 structured-data log formats.
Example:
log-format-sd %{+Q,+E}o\ [exampleSDID@1234\ header=%[capture.req.hdr(0)]]
HTTP compression has been rewritten to use the filter API. This is more a PoC
than other thing for now. It allocates memory to work. So, if only for that, it
should be rewritten.
In the mean time, the implementation has been refactored to allow its use with
other filters. However, there are limitations that should be respected:
- No filter placed after the compression one is allowed to change input data
(in 'http_data' callback).
- No filter placed before the compression one is allowed to change forwarded
data (in 'http_forward_data' callback).
For now, these limitations are informal, so you should be careful when you use
several filters.
About the configuration, 'compression' keywords are still supported and must be
used to configure the HTTP compression behavior. In absence of a 'filter' line
for the compression filter, it is added in the filter chain when the first
compression' line is parsed. This is an easy way to do when you do not use other
filters. But another filter exists, an error is reported so that the user must
explicitly declare the filter.
For example:
listen tst
...
compression algo gzip
compression offload
...
filter flt_1
filter compression
filter flt_2
...
This patch adds the support of filters in HAProxy. The main idea is to have a
way to "easely" extend HAProxy by adding some "modules", called filters, that
will be able to change HAProxy behavior in a programmatic way.
To do so, many entry points has been added in code to let filters to hook up to
different steps of the processing. A filter must define a flt_ops sutrctures
(see include/types/filters.h for details). This structure contains all available
callbacks that a filter can define:
struct flt_ops {
/*
* Callbacks to manage the filter lifecycle
*/
int (*init) (struct proxy *p);
void (*deinit)(struct proxy *p);
int (*check) (struct proxy *p);
/*
* Stream callbacks
*/
void (*stream_start) (struct stream *s);
void (*stream_accept) (struct stream *s);
void (*session_establish)(struct stream *s);
void (*stream_stop) (struct stream *s);
/*
* HTTP callbacks
*/
int (*http_start) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_data) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_last_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_chunk_trailers)(struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_end) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reset) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_pre_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_post_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reply) (struct stream *s, short status,
const struct chunk *msg);
};
To declare and use a filter, in the configuration, the "filter" keyword must be
used in a listener/frontend section:
frontend test
...
filter <FILTER-NAME> [OPTIONS...]
The filter referenced by the <FILTER-NAME> must declare a configuration parser
on its own name to fill flt_ops and filter_conf field in the proxy's
structure. An exemple will be provided later to make it perfectly clear.
For now, filters cannot be used in backend section. But this is only a matter of
time. Documentation will also be added later. This is the first commit of a long
list about filters.
It is possible to have several filters on the same listener/frontend. These
filters are stored in an array of at most MAX_FILTERS elements (define in
include/types/filters.h). Again, this will be replaced later by a list of
filters.
The filter API has been highly refactored. Main changes are:
* Now, HA supports an infinite number of filters per proxy. To do so, filters
are stored in list.
* Because filters are stored in list, filters state has been moved from the
channel structure to the filter structure. This is cleaner because there is no
more info about filters in channel structure.
* It is possible to defined filters on backends only. For such filters,
stream_start/stream_stop callbacks are not called. Of course, it is possible
to mix frontend and backend filters.
* Now, TCP streams are also filtered. All callbacks without the 'http_' prefix
are called for all kind of streams. In addition, 2 new callbacks were added to
filter data exchanged through a TCP stream:
- tcp_data: it is called when new data are available or when old unprocessed
data are still waiting.
- tcp_forward_data: it is called when some data can be consumed.
* New callbacks attached to channel were added:
- channel_start_analyze: it is called when a filter is ready to process data
exchanged through a channel. 2 new analyzers (a frontend and a backend)
are attached to channels to call this callback. For a frontend filter, it
is called before any other analyzer. For a backend filter, it is called
when a backend is attached to a stream. So some processing cannot be
filtered in that case.
- channel_analyze: it is called before each analyzer attached to a channel,
expects analyzers responsible for data sending.
- channel_end_analyze: it is called when all other analyzers have finished
their processing. A new analyzers is attached to channels to call this
callback. For a TCP stream, this is always the last one called. For a HTTP
one, the callback is called when a request/response ends, so it is called
one time for each request/response.
* 'session_established' callback has been removed. Everything that is done in
this callback can be handled by 'channel_start_analyze' on the response
channel.
* 'http_pre_process' and 'http_post_process' callbacks have been replaced by
'channel_analyze'.
* 'http_start' callback has been replaced by 'http_headers'. This new one is
called just before headers sending and parsing of the body.
* 'http_end' callback has been replaced by 'channel_end_analyze'.
* It is possible to set a forwarder for TCP channels. It was already possible to
do it for HTTP ones.
* Forwarders can partially consumed forwardable data. For this reason a new
HTTP message state was added before HTTP_MSG_DONE : HTTP_MSG_ENDING.
Now all filters can define corresponding callbacks (http_forward_data
and tcp_forward_data). Each filter owns 2 offsets relative to buf->p, next and
forward, to track, respectively, input data already parsed but not forwarded yet
by the filter and parsed data considered as forwarded by the filter. A any time,
we have the warranty that a filter cannot parse or forward more input than
previous ones. And, of course, it cannot forward more input than it has
parsed. 2 macros has been added to retrieve these offets: FLT_NXT and FLT_FWD.
In addition, 2 functions has been added to change the 'next size' and the
'forward size' of a filter. When a filter parses input data, it can alter these
data, so the size of these data can vary. This action has an effet on all
previous filters that must be handled. To do so, the function
'filter_change_next_size' must be called, passing the size variation. In the
same spirit, if a filter alter forwarded data, it must call the function
'filter_change_forward_size'. 'filter_change_next_size' can be called in
'http_data' and 'tcp_data' callbacks and only these ones. And
'filter_change_forward_size' can be called in 'http_forward_data' and
'tcp_forward_data' callbacks and only these ones. The data changes are the
filter responsability, but with some limitation. It must not change already
parsed/forwarded data or data that previous filters have not parsed/forwarded
yet.
Because filters can be used on backends, when we the backend is set for a
stream, we add filters defined for this backend in the filter list of the
stream. But we must only do that when the backend and the frontend of the stream
are not the same. Else same filters are added a second time leading to undefined
behavior.
The HTTP compression code had to be moved.
So it simplifies http_response_forward_body function. To do so, the way the data
are forwarded has changed. Now, a filter (and only one) can forward data. In a
commit to come, this limitation will be removed to let all filters take part to
data forwarding. There are 2 new functions that filters should use to deal with
this feature:
* flt_set_http_data_forwarder: This function sets the filter (using its id)
that will forward data for the specified HTTP message. It is possible if it
was not already set by another filter _AND_ if no data was yet forwarded
(msg->msg_state <= HTTP_MSG_BODY). It returns -1 if an error occurs.
* flt_http_data_forwarder: This function returns the filter id that will
forward data for the specified HTTP message. If there is no forwarder set, it
returns -1.
When an HTTP data forwarder is set for the response, the HTTP compression is
disabled. Of course, this is not definitive.
When memmax is forced using "-m", the per-process memory limit is enforced
using setrlimit(), but this value is not used to compute the automatic
maxconn limit. In addition, the per-process memory limit didn't consider
the fact that the shared SSL cache only needs to be accounted once.
The doc was also fixed to clearly state that "-m" is global and not per
process. It makes sense because people who use -m want to protect the
system's resources regardless of whatever appears in the configuration.
In order to properly enable sched_setaffinity, in some versions of Linux,
it is rather _GNU_SOURCE than __USE_GNU (spotted on Alpine Linux for instance),
also for the sake of consistency as __USE_GNU seems not used across the code and
for last, it seems on Linux it is the best way to enable non portable code.
On Linux glibc's based versions, it seems _GNU_SOURCE defines __USE_GNU
it should be safe enough.
It's pointless to reserve this amount of memory when zlib is not used.
Adding the condition will make build scripts easier to manage. This may
be backported to 1.6.
Causes HAProxy to emit a static string to the agent on every check,
so that you can independently control multiple services running
behind a single agent port.
It was accidently discovered that limiting haproxy to 5000 MB leads to
an effective limit of 904 MB. This is because the computation for the
size limit is performed by multiplying rlimit_memmax by 1048576, and
doing so causes the operation to be performed on an int instead of a
long or long long. Just switch to 1048576ULL as is done at other places
to fix this.
This bug affects all supported versions, the backport is desired, though
it rarely affects users since few people apply memory limits.
HAProxy could already support being passed a file list on the command
line, by passing multiple times "-f" followed by a file name. People
have been complaining that it made it hard to pass file lists from init
scripts.
This patch introduces an end of arguments using the common "--" tag,
after which only file names may appear. These files are then added to
the existing list of other files specified using -f and are loaded in
their declaration order. Thus it becomes possible to do something like
this :
haproxy -sf $(pidof haproxy) -- /etc/haproxy/global.cfg /etc/haproxy/customers/*.cfg
Given that all command line arguments start with a '-' and that
no pid number can start with this character, there's no constraint
to make the pid list the last argument. Let's relax this rule.
Michael Ezzell reported a bug causing haproxy to segfault during startup
when trying to send syslog message from Lua. The function __send_log() can
be called with *p that is NULL and/or when the configuration is not fully
parsed, as is the case with Lua.
This patch fixes this problem by using individual vectors instead of the
pre-generated strings log_htp and log_htp_rfc5424.
Also, this patch fixes a problem causing haproxy to write the wrong pid in
the logs -- the log_htp(_rfc5424) strings were generated at the haproxy
start, but "pid" value would be changed after haproxy is started in
daemon/systemd mode.
When peers are stopped due to not being running on the appropriate
process, we want to completely release them and unregister their signals
and task in order to ensure there's no way they may be called in the
future.
Note: ideally we should have a list of all tables attached to a peers
section being disabled in order to unregister them and void their
sync_task. It doesn't appear to be *that* easy for now.
This patch adds a new RFC5424-specific log-format for the structured-data
that is automatically send by __send_log() when the sender is in RFC5424
mode.
A new statement "log-format-sd" should be used in order to set log-format
for the structured-data part in RFC5424 formatted syslog messages.
Example:
log-format-sd [exampleSDID@1234\ bytes=\"%B\"\ status=\"%ST\"]
The function __send_log() iterates over senders and passes the header as
the first vector to sendmsg(), thus it can send a logger-specific header
in each message.
A new logger arguments "format rfc5424" should be used in order to enable
RFC5424 header format. For example:
log 10.2.3.4:1234 len 2048 format rfc5424 local2 info
At the moment we have to call snprintf() for every log line just to
rebuild a constant. Thanks to sendmsg(), we send the message in 3 parts:
time-based header, proxy-specific hostname+log-tag+pid, session-specific
message.
static_table_key, get_http_auth_buff and swap_buffer static variables
are now freed during deinit and the two previously new functions are
called as well. In addition, the 'trash' string buffer is cleared.
The tune.maxrewrite parameter used to be pre-initialized to half of
the buffer size since the very early days when buffers were very small.
It has grown to absurdly large values over the years to reach 8kB for a
16kB buffer. This prevents large requests from being accepted, which is
the opposite of the initial goal.
Many users fix it to 1024 which is already quite large for header
addition.
So let's change the default setting policy :
- pre-initialize it to 1024
- let the user tweak it
- in any case, limit it to tune.bufsize / 2
This results in 15kB usable to buffer HTTP messages instead of 8kB, and
doesn't affect existing configurations which already force it.
This is not a real run queue and we're facing ugly bugs because
if this : if a an applet removes another applet from the queue,
typically the next one after itself, the list iterator loops
forever because the list's backup pointer is not valid anymore.
Before creating a run queue, let's rename this list.
This was the first transparent proxy technology supported by haproxy
circa 2005 but it was obsoleted in 2007 by Tproxy 4.0 which removed a
lot of the earlier versions' shortcomings and was finally merged into
the kernel. Since nobody has been using cttproxy for many years now
and nobody has even just tried to compile the files, it's time to
remove it. The doc was updated as well.
This patch is the first of a serie which merge all the action structs. The
function "tcp-request content", "tcp-response-content", "http-request" and
"http-response" have the same values and the same process for some defined
actions, but the struct and the prototype of the declared function are
different.
This patch try to unify all of these entries.
This patch adds a few checks on "global._51degrees.data_file_path" and allows
haproxy to start even when the pattern or trie data file is not specified.
If the "51d" converter is used, a new function "_51d_conv_check" will check
"global._51degrees.data_file_path" and displays a warning if necessary.
In src/haproxy.c, the global 51Degrees "cache_size" has moved outside of the
FIFTYONEDEGREES_H_PATTERN_INCLUDED ifdef block.
This cache is used by 51d converter. The input User-Agent string, the
converter args and a random seed are used as a hashing key. The cached
entries contains a pointer to the resulting string for specific
User-Agent string detection.
The cache size can be tuned using 51degrees-cache-size parameter.
Moved 51Degrees code from src/haproxy.c, src/sample.c and src/cfgparse.c
into a separate files src/51d.c and include/import/51d.h.
Added two new functions init_51degrees() and deinit_51degrees(), updated
Makefile and other code reorganizations related to 51Degrees.

Implementation of a DNS client in HAProxy to perform name resolution to
IP addresses.
It relies on the freshly created UDP client to perform the DNS
resolution. For now, all UDP socket calls are performed in the
DNS layer, but this might change later when the protocols are
extended to be more suited to datagram mode.
A new section called 'resolvers' is introduced thanks to this patch. It
is used to describe DNS servers IP address and also many parameters.
With this patch, it is possible to configure HAProxy to forge the SSL
certificate sent to a client using the SNI servername. We do it in the SNI
callback.
To enable this feature, you must pass following BIND options:
* ca-sign-file <FILE> : This is the PEM file containing the CA certitifacte and
the CA private key to create and sign server's certificates.
* (optionally) ca-sign-pass <PASS>: This is the CA private key passphrase, if
any.
* generate-certificates: Enable the dynamic generation of certificates for a
listener.
Because generating certificates is expensive, there is a LRU cache to store
them. Its size can be customized by setting the global parameter
'tune.ssl.ssl-ctx-cache-size'.
When using the "51d" converter without specifying the list of 51Degrees
properties to detect (see parameter "51degrees-property-name-list"), the
"global._51d_property_names" could be left uninitialized which will lead to
segfault during init.
Since all rules listed in p->block_rules have been moved to the beginning of
the http-request rules in check_config_validity(), there is no need to clean
p->block_rules in deinit().

An ifdef was missing to avoid declaring these variables :
src/haproxy.c: In function 'deinit':
src/haproxy.c:1253:47: warning: unused variable '_51d_prop_nameb' [-Wunused-variable]
src/haproxy.c:1253:30: warning: unused variable '_51d_prop_name' [-Wunused-variable]
This diff initialises few DeviceAtlas struct fields member with
their inherent default values.
Furthermore, the specific DeviceAtlas configuration keywords are
registered and the module is initialised and all necessary
resources are freed during the deinit phase.
These ones were already obsoleted in 1.4, marked for removal in 1.5,
and not documented anymore. They used to emit warnings, and do still
require quite some code to stay in place. Let's remove them now.
Until now, HAproxy needed to be restarted to change the TLS ticket
keys. With this patch, the TLS keys can be updated on a per-file
basis using the admin socket. Two new socket commands have been
introduced: "show tls-keys" and "set ssl tls-keys".

This will prevent the peers section from remaining in listen state on
the incorrect process. The peers_fe pointer is set to NULL, which will
tell the peers task to commit suicide if it was already scheduled.
The principle of this cache is to have a global cache for all pattern
matching operations which rely on lists (reg, sub, dir, dom, ...). The
input data, the expression and a random seed are used as a hashing key.
The cached entries contains a pointer to the expression and a revision
number for that expression so that we don't accidently used obsolete
data after a pattern update or a very unlikely hash collision.
Regarding the risk of collisions, 10k entries at 10k req/s mean 1% risk
of a collision after 60 years, that's already much less than the memory's
reliability in most machines and more durable than most admin's life
expectancy. A collision will result in a valid result to be returned
for a different entry from the same list. If this is not acceptable,
the cache can be disabled using tune.pattern.cache-size.
A test on a file containing 10k small regex showed that the regex
matching was limited to 6k/s instead of 70k with regular strings.
When enabling the LRU cache, the performance was back to 70k/s.
The new function is called for each round of polling in order to call any
active appctx. For now we pick the stream interface from the appctx's
owner. At the moment there's no appctx queued yet, but we have everything
needed to queue them and remove them.
We have to allow 32 or 64 processes depending on the machine's word
size, and on 64-bit machines only the first 32 processes were properly
bound.
This fix should be backported to 1.5.
The poll() functions have become a bit dirty because they now check the
size of the signal queue, the FD cache and the number of tasks. It's not
their job, this must be moved to the caller. In the end it simplifies the
code because the expiration date is now set to now_ms if we must not wait,
and this achieves in exactly the same result and is cleaner. The change
looks large due to the change of indent for blocks which were inside an
"if" block.
This one will not necessarily be allocated for each stream, and we want
to use the fact that it equals null to know it's not present so that we
can always deduce its presence from the stream pointer.
This commit only creates the new pool.
There is now a pointer to the session in the stream, which is NULL
for now. The session pool is created as well. Some parts will move
from the stream to the session now.
With HTTP/2, we'll have to support multiplexed streams. A stream is in
fact the largest part of what we currently call a session, it has buffers,
logs, etc.
In order to catch any error, this commit removes any reference to the
struct session and tries to rename most "session" occurrences in function
names to "stream" and "sess" to "strm" when that's related to a session.
The files stream.{c,h} were added and session.{c,h} removed.
The session will be reintroduced later and a few parts of the stream
will progressively be moved overthere. It will more or less contain
only what we need in an embryonic session.
Sample fetch functions and converters will have to change a bit so
that they'll use an L5 (session) instead of what's currently called
"L4" which is in fact L6 for now.
Once all changes are completed, we should see approximately this :
L7 - http_txn
L6 - stream
L5 - session
L4 - connection | applet
There will be at most one http_txn per stream, and a same session will
possibly be referenced by multiple streams. A connection will point to
a session and to a stream. The session will hold all the information
we need to keep even when we don't yet have a stream.
Some more cleanup is needed because some code was already far from
being clean. The server queue management still refers to sessions at
many places while comments talk about connections. This will have to
be cleaned up once we have a server-side connection pool manager.
Stream flags "SN_*" still need to be renamed, it doesn't seem like
any of them will need to move to the session.
Thanks to MSIE/IIS, the "deflate" name is ambigous. According to the RFC
it's a zlib-wrapped deflate stream, but IIS used to send only a raw deflate
stream, which is the only format MSIE understands for "deflate". The other
widely used browsers do support both formats. For this reason some people
prefer to emit a raw deflate stream on "deflate" to serve more users even
it that means violating the standards. Haproxy only follows the standard,
so they cannot do this.
This patch makes it possible to have one algorithm name in the configuration
and another one in the protocol. This will make it possible to have a new
configuration token to add a different algorithm so that users can decide if
they want a raw deflate or the standard one.

As of the other libraries used by haproxy, it can be useful to display the Lua
version used at compilation time.
A new line is added to "haproxy -vv", which shows if Lua is supported by the
binary, and with which version it was compiled.
This system permits to execute some lua function after than HAProxy
complete his initialisation. These functions are executed between
the end of the configuration parsing and check and the begin of the
scheduler.
This is the first step of the lua integration. We add the useful
files in the HAProxy project. These files contains the main
includes, the Makefile options and empty initialisation function.
Is is the LUA skeleton.
Actually, HAProxy uses the function "process_runnable_tasks" and
"wake_expired_tasks" to get the next task which can expires.
If a task is added with "task_schedule" or other method during
the execution of an other task, the expiration of this new task
is not taken into account, and the execution of this task can be
too late.
Actualy, HAProxy seems to be no sensitive to this bug.
This fix moves the call to process_runnable_tasks() before the timeout
calculation and ensures that all wakeups are processed together. Only
wake_expired_tasks() needs to return a timeout now.
Commit d025648 ("MAJOR: init: automatically set maxconn and/or maxsslconn
when possible") resulted in a case where if enough memory is available,
a maxconn value larger than SYSTEM_MAXCONN could be computed, resulting
in possibly overflowing other systems resources (eg: kernel socket buffers,
conntrack entries, etc). Let's bound any automatic maxconn to SYSTEM_MAXCONN
if it is defined. Note that the value is set to DEFAULT_MAXCONN since
SYSTEM_MAXCONN forces DEFAULT_MAXCONN, thus it is not an error.
This one will be used when a regex is expected. It is automatically
resolved after the parsing and compiled into a regex. Some optional
flags are supported in the type-specific flags that should be set by
the optional arg checker. One is used during the regex compilation :
ARGF_REG_ICASE to ignore case.
If a memory size limit is enforced using "-n" on the command line and
one or both of maxconn / maxsslconn are not set, instead of using the
build-time values, haproxy now computes the number of sessions that can
be allocated depending on a number of parameters among which :
- global.maxconn (if set)
- global.maxsslconn (if set)
- maxzlibmem
- tune.ssl.cachesize
- presence of SSL in at least one frontend (bind lines)
- presence of SSL in at least one backend (server lines)
- tune.bufsize
- tune.cookie_len
The purpose is to ensure that not haproxy will not run out of memory
when maxing out all parameters. If neither maxconn nor maxsslconn are
used, it will consider that 100% of the sessions involve SSL on sides
where it's supported. That means that it will typically optimize maxconn
for SSL offloading or SSL bridging on all connections. This generally
means that the simple act of enabling SSL in a frontend or in a backend
will significantly reduce the global maxconn but in exchange of that, it
will guarantee that it will not fail.
All metrics may be enforced using #defines to accomodate variations in
SSL libraries or various allocation sizes.
We've already experimented with three wake up algorithms when releasing
buffers : the first naive one used to wake up far too many sessions,
causing many of them not to get any buffer. The second approach which
was still in use prior to this patch consisted in waking up either 1
or 2 sessions depending on the number of FDs we had released. And this
was still inaccurate. The third one tried to cover the accuracy issues
of the second and took into consideration the number of FDs the sessions
would be willing to use, but most of the time we ended up waking up too
many of them for nothing, or deadlocking by lack of buffers.
This patch completely removes the need to allocate two buffers at once.
Instead it splits allocations into critical and non-critical ones and
implements a reserve in the pool for this. The deadlock situation happens
when all buffers are be allocated for requests pending in a maxconn-limited
server queue, because then there's no more way to allocate buffers for
responses, and these responses are critical to release the servers's
connection in order to release the pending requests. In fact maxconn on
a server creates a dependence between sessions and particularly between
oldest session's responses and latest session's requests. Thus, it is
mandatory to get a free buffer for a response in order to release a
server connection which will permit to release a request buffer.
Since we definitely have non-symmetrical buffers, we need to implement
this logic in the buffer allocation mechanism. What this commit does is
implement a reserve of buffers which can only be allocated for responses
and that will never be allocated for requests. This is made possible by
the requester indicating how much margin it wants to leave after the
allocation succeeds. Thus it is a cooperative allocation mechanism : the
requester (process_session() in general) prefers not to get a buffer in
order to respect other's need for response buffers. The session management
code always knows if a buffer will be used for requests or responses, so
that is not difficult :
- either there's an applet on the initiator side and we really need
the request buffer (since currently the applet is called in the
context of the session)
- or we have a connection and we really need the response buffer (in
order to support building and sending an error message back)
This reserve ensures that we don't take all allocatable buffers for
requests waiting in a queue. The downside is that all the extra buffers
are really allocated to ensure they can be allocated. But with small
values it is not an issue.
With this change, we don't observe any more deadlocks even when running
with maxconn 1 on a server under severely constrained memory conditions.
The code becomes a bit tricky, it relies on the scheduler's run queue to
estimate how many sessions are already expected to run so that it doesn't
wake up everyone with too few resources. A better solution would probably
consist in having two queues, one for urgent requests and one for normal
requests. A failed allocation for a session dealing with an error, a
connection event, or the need for a response (or request when there's an
applet on the left) would go to the urgent request queue, while other
requests would go to the other queue. Urgent requests would be served
from 1 entry in the pool, while the regular ones would be served only
according to the reserve. Despite not yet having this, it works
remarkably well.
This mechanism is quite efficient, we don't perform too many wake up calls
anymore. For 1 million sessions elapsed during massive memory contention,
we observe about 4.5M calls to process_session() compared to 4.0M without
memory constraints. Previously we used to observe up to 16M calls, which
rougly means 12M failures.
During a test run under high memory constraints (limit enforced to 27 MB
instead of the 58 MB normally needed), performance used to drop by 53% prior
to this patch. Now with this patch instead it *increases* by about 1.5%.
The best effect of this change is that by limiting the memory usage to about
2/3 to 3/4 of what is needed by default, it's possible to increase performance
by up to about 18% mainly due to the fact that pools are reused more often
and remain hot in the CPU cache (observed on regular HTTP traffic with 20k
objects, buffers.limit = maxconn/10, buffers.reserve = limit/2).
Below is an example of scenario which used to cause a deadlock previously :
- connection is received
- two buffers are allocated in process_session() then released
- one is allocated when receiving an HTTP request
- the second buffer is allocated then released in process_session()
for request parsing then connection establishment.
- poll() says we can send, so the request buffer is sent and released
- process session gets notified that the connection is now established
and allocates two buffers then releases them
- all other sessions do the same till one cannot get the request buffer
without hitting the margin
- and now the server responds. stream_interface allocates the response
buffer and manages to get it since it's higher priority being for a
response.
- but process_session() cannot allocate the request buffer anymore
=> We could end up with all buffers used by responses so that none may
be allocated for a request in process_session().
When the applet processing leaves the session context, the test will have
to be changed so that we always allocate a response buffer regardless of
the left side (eg: H2->H1 gateway). A final improvement would consists in
being able to only retry the failed I/O operation without waking up a
task, but to date all experiments to achieve this have proven not to be
reliable enough.
This patch makes it possible to create binds and servers in separate
namespaces. This can be used to proxy between multiple completely independent
virtual networks (with possibly overlapping IP addresses) and a
non-namespace-aware proxy implementation that supports the proxy protocol (v2).
The setup is something like this:
net1 on VLAN 1 (namespace 1) -\
net2 on VLAN 2 (namespace 2) -- haproxy ==== proxy (namespace 0)
net3 on VLAN 3 (namespace 3) -/
The proxy is configured to make server connections through haproxy and sending
the expected source/target addresses to haproxy using the proxy protocol.
The network namespace setup on the haproxy node is something like this:
= 8< =
$ cat setup.sh
ip netns add 1
ip link add link eth1 type vlan id 1
ip link set eth1.1 netns 1
ip netns exec 1 ip addr add 192.168.91.2/24 dev eth1.1
ip netns exec 1 ip link set eth1.$id up
...
= 8< =
= 8< =
$ cat haproxy.cfg
frontend clients
bind 127.0.0.1:50022 namespace 1 transparent
default_backend scb
backend server
mode tcp
server server1 192.168.122.4:2222 namespace 2 send-proxy-v2
= 8< =
A bind line creates the listener in the specified namespace, and connections
originating from that listener also have their network namespace set to
that of the listener.
A server line either forces the connection to be made in a specified
namespace or may use the namespace from the client-side connection if that
was set.

itself.

Google's boringssl doesn't have OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT, SSLeay_version()
or SSLEAY_VERSION, in fact, it doesn't have any real versioning, its
just git-based.
So in case we build against boringssl, we can't access those values.
Instead, we just inform the user that HAProxy was build against
boringssl.

This patch remove all references of standard regex in haproxy. The last
remaining references are only in the regex.[ch] files.
In the file src/checks.c, the original function uses a "pmatch" array.
In fact this array is unused. This patch remove it.
This patch adds two new actions to http-request and http-response rulesets :
- replace-header : replace a whole header line, suited for headers
which might contain commas
- replace-value : replace a single header value, suited for headers
defined as lists.
The match consists in a regex, and the replacement string takes a log-format
and supports back-references.
When no static DH parameters are specified, this patch makes haproxy
use standardized (rfc 2409 / rfc 3526) DH parameters with prime lenghts
of 1024, 2048, 4096 or 8192 bits for DHE key exchange. The size of the
temporary/ephemeral DH key is computed as the minimum of the RSA/DSA server
key size and the value of a new option named tune.ssl.default-dh-param.
Using the systemd daemon mode the parent doesn't exits but waits for
his childs without closing its listening sockets.
As linux 3.9 introduced a SO_REUSEPORT option (always enabled in
haproxy if available) this will give unhandled connections problems
after an haproxy reload with open connections.
The problem is that when on reload a new parent is started (-Ds
$oldchildspids), in haproxy.c main there's a call to start_proxies
that, without SO_REUSEPORT, should fail (as the old processes are
already listening) and so a SIGTOU is sent to old processes. On this
signal the old childs will call (in pause_listener) a shutdown() on
the listening fd. From my tests (if I understand it correctly) this
affects the in kernel file (so the listen is really disabled for all
the processes, also the parent).
Instead, with SO_REUSEPORT, the call to start_proxies doesn't fail and
so SIGTOU is never sent. Only SIGUSR1 is sent and the listen isn't
disabled for the parent but only the childs will stop listening (with
a call to close())
So, with SO_REUSEPORT, the old childs will close their listening
sockets but will wait for the current connections to finish or
timeout, and, as their parent has its listening socket open, the
kernel will schedule some connections on it. These connections will
never be accepted by the parent as it's in the waitpid loop.
This fix will close all the listeners on the parent before entering the
waitpid loop.

Servers used to have 3 flags to store a state, now they have 4 states
instead. This avoids lots of confusion for the 4 remaining undefined
states.
The encoding from the previous to the new states can be represented
this way :
SRV_STF_RUNNING
| SRV_STF_GOINGDOWN
| | SRV_STF_WARMINGUP
| | |
0 x x SRV_ST_STOPPED
1 0 0 SRV_ST_RUNNING
1 0 1 SRV_ST_STARTING
1 1 x SRV_ST_STOPPING
Note that the case where all bits were set used to exist and was randomly
dealt with. For example, the task was not stopped, the throttle value was
still updated and reported in the stats and in the http_server_state header.
It was the same if the server was stopped by the agent or for maintenance.
It's worth noting that the internal function names are still quite confusing.
Till now, the server's state and flags were all saved as a single bit
field. It causes some difficulties because we'd like to have an enum
for the state and separate flags.
This commit starts by splitting them in two distinct fields. The first
one is srv->state (with its counter-part srv->prev_state) which are now
enums, but which still contain bits (SRV_STF_*).
The flags now lie in their own field (srv->flags).
The function srv_is_usable() was updated to use the enum as input, since
it already used to deal only with the state.
Note that currently, the maintenance mode is still in the state for
simplicity, but it must move as well.
Some consistency checks cannot be performed between frontends, backends
and peers at the moment because there is no way to check for intersection
between processes bound to some processes when the number of processes is
higher than the number of bits in a word.
So first, let's limit the number of processes to the machine's word size.
This means nbproc will be limited to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on 64-bit
machines. This is far more than enough considering that configs rarely go
above 16 processes due to scalability and management issues, so 32 or 64
should be fine.
This way we'll ensure we can always build a mask of all the processes a
section is bound to.
Since it became possible to use log-format expressions in use_backend,
having a mandatory condition becomes annoying because configurations
are full of "if TRUE". Let's relax the check to accept no condition
like many other keywords (eg: redirect).
When compiled with USE_GETADDRINFO, make sure we use getaddrinfo(3) to
perform name lookups. On default dual-stack setups this will change the
behavior of using IPv6 first. Global configuration option
'nogetaddrinfo' can be used to revert to deprecated gethostbyname(3).
The pattern reference are stored with two identifiers: the unique_id and
the reference.
The reference identify a file. Each file with the same name point to the
same reference. We can register many times one file. If the file is
modified, all his dependencies are also modified. The reference can be
used with map or acl.
The unique_id identify inline acl. The unique id is unique for each acl.
You cannot force the same id in the configuration file, because this
repport an error.
The format of the acl and map listing through the "socket" has changed
for displaying these new ids.
Sometimes it can be useful to generate a random value, at least
for debugging purposes, but also to take routing decisions or to
pass such a value to a backend server.
The ability to globally override the default client and server cipher
suites has been requested multiple times since the introduction of SSL.
This commit adds two new keywords to the global section for this :
- ssl-default-bind-ciphers
- ssl-default-server-ciphers
It is still possible to preset them at build time by setting the macros
LISTEN_DEFAULT_CIPHERS and CONNECT_DEFAULT_CIPHERS.
The new tune.idletimer value allows one to set a different value for
idle stream detection. The default value remains set to one second.
It is possible to disable it using zero, and to change the default
value at build time using DEFAULT_IDLE_TIMER.

If no CA file specified on a server line, the config parser will show an error.
Adds an cmdline option '-dV' to re-set verify 'none' as global default on
servers side (previous behavior).
Also adds 'ssl-server-verify' global statement to set global default to
'none' or 'required'.
WARNING: this changes the default verify mode from "none" to "required" on
the server side, and it *will* break insecure setups.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore unwanted function returns in
debug code with gcc. Now even when you try to work around it, it suggests a
way to write your code differently. For example :
src/frontend.c:187:65: warning: if statement has empty body [-Wempty-body]
if (write(1, trash.str, trash.len) < 0) /* shut gcc warning */;
^
src/frontend.c:187:65: note: put the semicolon on a separate line to silence this warning
1 warning generated.
This is totally unacceptable, this code already had to be written this way
to shut it up in earlier versions. And now it comments the form ? What's the
purpose of the C language if you can't write anymore the code that does what
you want ?
Emeric proposed to just keep a global variable to drain such useless results
so that gcc stops complaining all the time it believes people who write code
are monkeys. The solution is acceptable because the useless assignment is done
only in debug code so it will not impact performance. This patch implements
this, until gcc becomes even "smarter" to detect that we tried to cheat.
We handle "http-request redirect" with a log-format string now, but we
leave "redirect" unaffected.
Note that the control of the special "/" case is move from the runtime
execution to the configuration parsing. If the format rule list is
empty, the build_logline() function does nothing.
Allow an auxiliary agent check to be run independently of the
regular a regular health check. This is enabled by the agent-check
server setting.
The agent-port, which specifies the TCP port to use for the agent's
connections, is required.
The agent-inter, which specifies the interval between agent checks and
timeout of agent checks, is optional. If not set the value for regular
checks is used.
e.g.
server web1_1 127.0.0.1:80 check agent-port 10000
If either the health or agent check determines that a server is down
then it is marked as being down, otherwise it is marked as being up.
An agent health check performed by opening a TCP socket and reading an
ASCII string. The string should have one of the following forms:
* An ASCII representation of an positive integer percentage.
e.g. "75%"
Values in this format will set the weight proportional to the initial
weight of a server as configured when haproxy starts.
* The string "drain".
This will cause the weight of a server to be set to 0, and thus it
will not accept any new connections other than those that are
accepted via persistence.
* The string "down", optionally followed by a description string.
Mark the server as down and log the description string as the reason.
* The string "stopped", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as "down".
* The string "fail", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as "down".

FreeBSD uses (IPPROTO_IP, IP_BINDANY) and (IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_BINDANY)
to enable transparent proxy on a socket.
This patch adds support for the relevant setsockopt() calls.
This patch does not change the logic of the code, it only changes the
way OS-specific defines are tested.
At the moment the transparent proxy code heavily depends on Linux-specific
defines. This first patch introduces a new define "CONFIG_HAP_TRANSPARENT"
which is set every time the defines used by transparent proxy are present.
This also means that with an up-to-date libc, it should not be necessary
anymore to force CONFIG_HAP_LINUX_TPROXY during the build, as the flags
will automatically be detected.
The CTTPROXY flags still remain separate because this older API doesn't
work the same way.
A new line has been added in the version output for haproxy -vv to indicate
what transparent proxy support is available.
It happens that openssl's API can differ between versions, causing some
serious trouble if the version used at runtime is not the same as used
for building.
Now we report the two versions separately along with a warning if the
version differs (except the patch version).
Since ea68d36 we show whether JIT is enabled, based on the USE-flag
(USE_PCRE_JIT). This is too naive; libpcre may be built without JIT
support (which is the default).
Fix this by calling pcre_config(), which has the accurate information
we are looking for.
Example of a libpcre without JIT support after this patch:
> ./haproxy -vv | grep PCRE
> OPTIONS = USE_STATIC_PCRE=1 USE_PCRE_JIT=1
> Built with PCRE version : 8.32 2012-11-30
> PCRE library supports JIT : no (libpcre build without JIT?)
Commit a4312fa2 merged into dev18 improved log-format management by
processing "log-format" and "unique-id-format" where they were declared,
so that the faulty args could be reported with their correct line numbers.
Unfortunately, the log-format parser considers the proxy mode (TCP/HTTP)
and now if the directive is set before the "mode" statement, it can be
rejected and report warnings.
So we really need to parse these directives at the end of a section at
least. Right now we do not have an "end of section" event, so we need
to store the file name and line number for each of these directives,
and take care of them at the end.
One of the benefits is that now the line numbers can be inherited from
the line passing "option httplog" even if it's in a defaults section.
Future improvements should be performed to report line numbers in every
log-format processed by the parser.
haproxy -vv shows build informations about USE flags and lib versions.
This patch introduces informations about PCRE and the new JIT feature.
It also makes USE_PCRE_JIT=1 appear in the haproxy -vv "OPTIONS".
This is useful since with the introduction of JIT we will see libpcre
related issues.

ACL fetch functions used to directly reference a fetch function. Now
that all ACL fetches have their sample fetches equivalent, we can make
ACLs reference a sample fetch keyword instead.
In order to simplify the code, a sample keyword name may be NULL if it
is the same as the ACL's, which is the most common case.
A minor change appeared, http_auth always expects one argument though
the ACL allowed it to be missing and reported as such afterwards, so
fix the ACL to match this. This is not really a bug.
Some recent glibc updates have added controls on FD_SET/FD_CLR/FD_ISSET
that crash the program if it tries to use a file descriptor larger than
FD_SETSIZE.
For this reason, we now control the compatibility between global.maxsock
and FD_SETSIZE, and refuse to use select() if there too many FDs are
expected to be used. Note that on Solaris, FD_SETSIZE is already forced
to 65536, and that FreeBSD and OpenBSD allow it to be redefined, though
this is not needed thanks to kqueue which is much more efficient.
In practice, since poll() is enabled on all targets, it should not cause
any problem, unless it is explicitly disabled.
This change must be backported to 1.4 because the crashes caused by glibc
have already been reported on this version.
This patch adds a new option "-Ds" which is exactly like "-D", but instead of
forking n times to get n jobs running and then exiting, prefers to wait for all the
children it just created. With this done, haproxy becomes more systemd-compliant,
without changing anything for other systems.

[WT: The issue has been investigated by independent security research team
and realized by itself not being able to allow security exploitation.
Additionally, dropping groups is not allowed to unprivileged users,
though this mode of deployment is quite common. Thus a warning is
emitted in this case to inform the user. The fix could be backported
into all supported versions as the issue has always been there. ]
At the moment, we need trash chunks almost everywhere and the only
correctly implemented one is in the sample code. Let's move this to
the chunks so that all other places can use this allocator.
Additionally, the get_trash_chunk() function now really returns two
different chunks. Previously it used to always overwrite the same
chunk and point it to a different buffer, which was a bit tricky
because it's not obvious that two consecutive results do alias each
other.
global.tune.maxaccept was used for all listeners. This becomes really not
convenient when some listeners are bound to a single process and other ones
are bound to many processes.
Now we change the principle : we count the number of processes a listener
is bound to, and apply the maxaccept either entirely if there is a single
process, or divided by twice the number of processes in order to maintain
fairness.
The default limit has also been increased from 32 to 64 as it appeared that
on small machines, 32 was too low to achieve high connection rates.
The new "cpu-map" directive allows one to assign the CPU sets that
a process is allowed to bind to. This is useful in combination with
the "nbproc" and "bind-process" directives.
The support is implicit on Linux 2.6.28 and above.
Having nbproc preinitialized to zero is really annoying as it prevents
some checks from being correctly performed. Also the check to prevent
nbproc from being redefined is totally useless, so let's preset it to
1 and remove the test.
This is done by passing the default value to SSLCACHESIZE in sessions.
User can use tune.sslcachesize to change this value.
By default, it is set to 20000 sessions as openssl internal cache size.
Currently, a session entry size is between 592 and 616 bytes depending on the arch.
Now that all pollers make use of speculative I/O, there is no point
having two epoll implementations, so replace epoll with the sepoll code
and remove sepoll which has just become the standard epoll method.
Compression algorithms are not always supported depending on build options.
"haproxy -vv" now reports if zlib is supported and lists compression algorithms
also supported.
This patch adds input and output rate calcutation on the HTTP compresion
feature.
Compression can be limited with a maximum rate value in kilobytes per
second. The rate is set with the global 'maxcomprate' option. You can
change this value dynamicaly with 'set rate-limit http-compression
global' on the UNIX socket.
With the global maxzlibmem option, you are able ton control the maximum
amount of RAM usable for HTTP compression.
A test is done before each zlib allocation, if the there isn't available
memory, the test fail and so the zlib initialization, so data won't be
compressed.
The window size and the memlevel of the zlib are now configurable using
global options tune.zlib.memlevel and tune.zlib.windowsize.
It affects the memory consumption of the zlib.
Keys are copied from samples to stick_table_key. If a key is larger
than the stick_table_key, we have an overflow. In pratice it does not
happen because it requires :
1) a configuration with tune.bufsize larger than BUFSIZE (common)
2) a stick-table configured with keys strictly larger than buffers
3) extraction of data larger than BUFSIZE (eg: using payload())
Points 2 and 3 don't make any sense for a real world configuration. That
said the issue needs be fixed. The solution consists in allocating it the
same size as the global buffer size, just like the samples. This fixes the
issue.
Sample conversions rely on two alternative buffers which were previously
allocated as static bufs of size BUFSIZE. Now they're initialized to the
global buffer size. It was the same for HTTP authentication. Note that it
seems that none of them was prone to any mistake when dealing with the
buffer size, but better stay on the safe side by maintaining the old
assumption that a trash buffer is always "large enough".
The trash is used everywhere to store the results of temporary strings
built out of s(n)printf, or as a storage for a chunk when chunks are
needed.
Using global.tune.bufsize is not the most convenient thing either.
So let's replace trash with a chunk and directly use it as such. We can
then use trash.size as the natural way to get its size, and get rid of
many intermediary chunks that were previously used.
The patch is huge because it touches many areas but it makes the code
a lot more clear and even outlines places where trash was used without
being that obvious.
We will need to be able to switch server connections on a session and
to keep idle connections. In order to achieve this, the preliminary
requirement is that the connections can survive the session and be
detached from them.
Right now they're still allocated at exactly the same place, so when
there is a session, there are always 2 connections. We could soon
improve on this by allocating the outgoing connection only during a
connect().
This current patch touches a lot of code and intentionally does not
change any functionnality. Performance tests show no regression (even
a very minor improvement). The doc has not yet been updated.
From the beginning it has been said that -D must always be used on the
command line from startup scripts so that haproxy does not accidentally
stay in foreground when loaded from init script... Except that this has
not been true for a long time now.
The fix is easy and must be backported to 1.4 too which is affected.
ACL and sample fetches use args list and it is really not convenient to
check for null args everywhere. Now for empty args we pass a constant
list of end of lists. It will allow us to remove many useless checks.
With this commit, we now separate the channel from the buffer. This will
allow us to replace buffers on the fly without touching the channel. Since
nobody is supposed to keep a reference to a buffer anymore, doing so is not
a problem and will also permit some copy-less data manipulation.
Interestingly, these changes have shown a 2% performance increase on some
workloads, probably due to a better cache placement of data.
These ones are used to set the default ciphers suite on "bind" lines and
"server" lines respectively, instead of using OpenSSL's defaults. These
are probably mainly useful for distro packagers.
Till now the request was made in the trash and sent to the network at
once, and the response was read into a preallocated char[]. Now we
allocate a full buffer for both the request and the response, and make
use of it.
Some of the operations will probably be replaced later with buffer macros
but the point was to ensure we could migrate to use the data layers soon.
One nice improvement caused by this change is that requests are now formed
at the beginning of the check and may safely be sent in multiple chunks if
needed.
The health checks in the servers are becoming a real mess, move them
into their own subsection. We'll soon need to have a struct buffer to
replace the char * as well as check-specific protocol and transport
layers.
Each proxy contains a reference to the original config file and line
number where it was declared. The pointer used is just a reference to
the one passed to the function instead of being duplicated. The effect
is that it is not valid anymore at the end of the parsing and that all
proxies will be enumerated as coming from the same file on some late
configuration errors. This may happen for exmaple when reporting SSL
certificate issues.
By copying using strdup(), we avoid this issue.
1.4 has the same issue, though no report of the proxy file name is done
out of the config section. Anyway a backport is recommended to ease
post-mortem analysis.
Add keyword 'verify' on bind:
'verify none': authentication disabled (default)
'verify optional': accept connection without certificate
and process a verify if the client sent a certificate
'verify required': reject connection without certificate
and process a verify if the client send a certificate
Add keyword 'cafile' on bind:
'cafile <path>' path to a client CA file used to verify.
'crlfile <path>' path to a client CRL file used to verify.
Unix permissions are per-bind configuration line and not per listener,
so let's concretize this in the way the config is stored. This avoids
some unneeded loops to set permissions on all listeners.
The access level is not part of the unix perms so it has been moved
away. Once we can use str2listener() to set all listener addresses,
we'll have a bind keyword parser for this one.
Navigating through listeners was very inconvenient and error-prone. Not to
mention that listeners were linked in reverse order and reverted afterwards.
In order to definitely get rid of these issues, we now do the following :
- frontends have a dual-linked list of bind_conf
- frontends have a dual-linked list of listeners
- bind_conf have a dual-linked list of listeners
- listeners have a pointer to their bind_conf
This way we can now navigate from anywhere to anywhere and always find the
proper bind_conf for a given listener, as well as find the list of listeners
for a current bind_conf.
Some settings need to be merged per-bind config line and are not necessarily
SSL-specific. It becomes quite inconvenient to have this ssl_conf SSL-specific,
so let's replace it with something more generic.
Since it's common enough to discover that some config options are not
supported due to some openssl version or build options, we report the
relevant ones in "haproxy -vv".
A side effect of this change is that the "ssl" keyword on "bind" lines is now
just a boolean and that "crt" is needed to designate certificate files or
directories.
Note that much refcounting was needed to have the free() work correctly due to
the number of cert aliases which can make a context be shared by multiple names.
SSL config holds many parameters which are per bind line and not per
listener. Let's use a per-bind line config instead of having it
replicated for each listener.
At the moment we only do this for the SSL part but this should probably
evolved to handle more of the configuration and maybe even the state per
bind line.
SSL connections take a huge amount of memory, and unfortunately openssl
does not check malloc() returns and easily segfaults when too many
connections are used.
The only solution against this is to provide a global maxsslconn setting
to reject SSL connections above the limit in order to avoid reaching
unsafe limits.
Thomas Heil reported that when using nbproc > 1, his pidfiles were
regularly truncated. The issue could be tracked down to the presence
of a call to lseek(pidfile, 0, SEEK_SET) just before the close() call
in the children, resulting in the file being truncated by the children
while the parent was feeding it. This unexpected lseek() is transparently
performed by fclose().
Since there is no way to have the file automatically closed during the
fork, the only solution is to bypass the libc and use open/write/close
instead of fprintf() and fclose().
The issue was observed on eglibc 2.15.
This is a massive rename of most functions which should make use of the
word "channel" instead of the word "buffer" in their names.
In concerns the following ones (new names) :
unsigned long long channel_forward(struct channel *buf, unsigned long long bytes);
static inline void channel_init(struct channel *buf)
static inline int channel_input_closed(struct channel *buf)
static inline int channel_output_closed(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_check_timeouts(struct channel *b)
static inline void channel_erase(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_shutr_now(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_shutw_now(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_abort(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_stop_hijacker(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_auto_connect(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_dont_connect(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_auto_close(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_dont_close(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_auto_read(struct channel *buf)
static inline void channel_dont_read(struct channel *buf)
unsigned long long channel_forward(struct channel *buf, unsigned long long bytes)
Some functions provided by channel.[ch] have kept their "buffer" name because
they are really designed to act on the buffer according to some information
gathered from the channel. They have been moved together to the same place in
the file for better readability but they were not changed at all.
The "buffer" memory pool was also renamed "channel".
The "raw_sock" prefix will be more convenient for naming functions as
it will be prefixed with the data layer and suffixed with the data
direction. So let's rename the files now to avoid any further confusion.
The #include directive was also removed from a number of files which do
not need it anymore.
In an attempt to get rid of fdtab[].state, and to move the relevant
parts to the connection struct, we remove the FD_STCLOSE state which
can easily be deduced from the <owner> pointer as there is a 1:1 match.
When passing arguments to ACLs and samples, some types are stored as
strings then resolved later after config parsing is done. Upon exit,
the arguments need to be freed only if the string was not resolved
yet. At the moment we can encounter double free during deinit()
because some arguments (eg: userlists) are freed once as their own
type and once as a string.
The solution consists in adding an "unresolved" flag to the args to
say whether the value is still held in the <str> part or is final.
This could be debugged thanks to a useful bug report from Sander Klein.
Option httplog needs to be checked only once the proxy has been validated,
so that its final mode (tcp/http) can be used. Also we need to check for
httplog before checking the log format, so that we can report a warning
about this specific option and not about the format it implies.
Before it was possible to resize the buffers using global.tune.bufsize,
the trash has always been the size of a buffer by design. Unfortunately,
the recent buffer sizing at runtime forgot to adjust the trash, resulting
in it being too short for content rewriting if buffers were enlarged from
the default value.
The bug was encountered in 1.4 so the fix must be backported there.
We'll soon have an SSL socket layer, and in order to ease the difference
between the two, we use the name "sock_raw" to designate the one which
directly talks to the sockets without any conversion.
From time to time, some bugs are discovered that are caused by non-initialized
memory areas. It happens that most platforms return a zero-filled area upon
first malloc() thus hiding potential bugs. This patch also replaces malloc()
in pools with calloc() to ensure that all platforms exhibit the same behaviour
upon startup. In order to catch these bugs more easily, add a -dM command line
flag to enable memory poisonning. Optionally, passing -dM<byte> forces the
poisonning byte to <byte>.
This is mainly a massive renaming in the code to get it in line with the
calling convention. Next patch will rename a few files to complete this
operation.
arg_i was almost unused, and since we migrated to use struct arg everywhere,
the rare cases where arg_i was needed could be replaced by switching to
arg->type = ARGT_STOP.
There were a few unchecked write() calls in the debug code that cause
gcc 4.x to emit warnings on recent libc. We don't want to check them
as we can't make anything from the result, let's simply surround them
with an empty if statement.
Note that one of the warnings was for chdir("/") which normally cannot
fail since it follows a successful chroot (which means the perms are
necessarily there). Anyway let's move the call uppe to protect it too.

Optimize size computation
Sometimes it is desirable to forward a particular request to a specific
server without having to declare a dedicated backend for this server. This
can be achieved using the "use-server" rules. These rules are evaluated after
the "redirect" rules and before evaluating cookies, and they have precedence
on them. There may be as many "use-server" rules as desired. All of these
rules are evaluated in their declaration order, and the first one which
matches will assign the server.

When checking a configuration file using "-c -f xxx", sometimes it is
reported that a config is valid while it will later fail (eg: no enabled
listener). Instead, let's improve the return values :
- return 0 if config is 100% OK
- return 1 if config has errors
- return 2 if config is OK but no listener nor peer is enabled
This patch settles the 2 loggers limitation.
Loggers are now stored in linked lists.
Using "global log", the global loggers list content is added at the end
of the current proxy list. Each "log" entries are added at the end of
the proxy list.
"no log" flush a logger list.
Ludovic Levesque reported and diagnosed an annoying bug. When a server is
configured to track another one and has a slowstart interval set, it's
assigned a minimal weight when the tracked server goes back up but keeps
this weight forever.
This is because the throttling during the warmup phase is only computed
in the health checking function.
After several attempts to resolve the issue, the only real solution is to
split the check processing task in two tasks, one for the checks and one
for the warmup. Each server with a slowstart setting has a warmum task
which is responsible for updating the server's weight after a down to up
transition. The task does not run in othe situations.
In the end, the fix is neither complex nor long and should be backported
to 1.4 since the issue was detected there first.
It makes no sense to have one pointer to the hdr_idx pool in each proxy
struct since these pools do not depend on the proxy. Let's have a common
pool instead as it is already the case for other types.
Passing -C <dir> causes haproxy to chdir to <dir> before loading
any file. The argument may be passed anywhere on the command line.
A typical use case is :
$ haproxy -C /etc/haproxy -f global.cfg -f haproxy.cfg
The way the unix socket is initialized is awkward. Some of the settings are put
in the sockets itself, other ones in the backend. And more importantly the
global.maxsock value is adjusted so that the stats socket evades the global
maxconn value. This complexifies maxsock computations for nothing, since the
stats socket is not supposed to receive hundreds of concurrent connections when
the global maxconn is very low. What is needed however is to ensure that there
are always connections left for the stats socket even when traffic sockets are
saturated, but this guarantee is not offered anymore by current code.
So as of now, the stats socket is subject to the global maxconn limitation just
as any other socket until a reservation mechanism is implemented.
This global task is used to periodically check for end of resource shortage
and to try to enable queued listeners again. This is important in case some
temporary system-wide shortage is encountered, so that we don't have to wait
for an existing connection to be released before checking the queue again.
For situations where listeners are queued due to the global maxconn being
reached, the task is woken up at least every second. For situations where
a system resource shortage is detected (memory, sockets, ...) the task is
woken up at least every 100 ms. That way, recovery from severe events can
still be achieved under acceptable conditions.
This function is finally not needed anymore, as it has been replaced with
a per-proxy task that is scheduled when some limits are encountered on
incoming connections or when the process is stopping. The savings should
be noticeable on configs with a large number of proxies. The most important
point is that the rate limiting is now enforced in a clean and solid way.
When an accept() fails because of a connection limit or a memory shortage,
we now disable it and queue it so that it's dequeued only when a connection
is released. This has improved the behaviour of the process near the fd limit
as now a listener with a no connection (eg: stats) will not loop forever
trying to get its connection accepted.
The solution is still not 100% perfect, as we'd like to have this used when
proxy limits are reached (use a per-proxy list) and for safety, we'd need
to have dedicated tasks to periodically re-enable them (eg: to overcome
temporary system-wide resource limitations when no connection is released).
Managing listeners state is difficult because they have their own state
and can at the same time have theirs dictated by their proxy. The pause
is not done properly, as the proxy code is fiddling with sockets. By
introducing new functions such as pause_listener()/resume_listener(), we
make it a bit more obvious how/when they're supposed to be used. The
listen_proxies() function was also renamed to resume_proxies() since
it's only used for pause/resume.
This patch is the first in a series aiming at getting rid of the maintain_proxies
mess. In the end, proxies should not call enable_listener()/disable_listener()
anymore.
By default on a single process, we accept 100 connections at once. This is too
much on recent CPUs where the cache is constantly thrashing, because we visit
all those connections several times. We should batch the processing slightly
less so that all the accepted session may remain in cache during their initial
processing.
Lowering the batch size from 100 to 32 has changed the connection rate for
concurrencies between 5-10k from 67 kcps to 94 kcps on a Core i5 660 (4M L3),
and forward rates from 30k to 39.5k.
Tests on this hardware show that values between 10 and 30 seem to do the job fine.

And also rename "req_acl_rule" "http_req_rule". At the beginning that
was a bit confusing to me, especially the "req_acl" list which in fact
holds what we call rules. After some digging, it appeared that some
part of the code is 100% HTTP and not just related to authentication
anymore, so let's move that part to HTTP and keep the auth-only code
in auth.c.
It's very annoying that frontend and backend stats are merged because we
don't know what we're observing. For instance, if a "listen" instance
makes use of a distinct backend, it's impossible to know what the bytes_out
means.
Some points take care of not updating counters twice if the backend points
to the frontend, indicating a "listen" instance. The thing becomes more
complex when we try to add support for server side keep-alive, because we
have to maintain a pointer to the backend used for last request, and to
update its stats. But we can't perform such comparisons anymore because
the counters will not match anymore.
So in order to get rid of this situation, let's have both frontend AND
backend stats in the "struct proxy". We simply update the relevant ones
during activity. Some of them are only accounted for in the backend,
while others are just for frontend. Maybe we can improve a bit on that
later, but the essential part is that those counters now reflect what
they really mean.
As reported by the Loadbalancer.org team, it was not possible to bind
more than 1024 ports. This is because the process' limits were set after
trying to bind the sockets, which defeats their purpose.
This fix must be backported to 1.4 and 1.3.
One of the requirements we have is to run multiple instances of haproxy on a
single host; this is so that we can split the responsibilities (and change
permissions) between product teams. An issue we ran up against is how we
would distinguish between the logs generated by each instance. The solution
we came up with (please let me know if there is a better way) is to override
the application tag written to syslog. We can then configure syslog to write
these to different files.
I have attached a patch adding a global option 'log-tag' to override the
default syslog tag 'haproxy' (actually defaults to argv[0]).
Haproxy does not include the hostname rather the IP of the machine in
the syslog headers it sends. Unfortunately this means that for each log
line rsyslog does a reverse dns on the client IP and in the case of
non-routable IPs one gets the public hostname not the internal one.
While this is valid according to RFC3164 as one might imagine this is
troublsome if you have some machines with public IPs, internal IPs, no
reverse DNS entries, etc and you want a standardized hostname based log
directory structure. The rfc says the preferred value is the hostname.
This patch adds a global "log-send-hostname" statement which accepts an
optional string to force the host name. If unset, the local host name
is used.
HTTP content-based health checks will be involved in searching text in pages.
Some pages may not fit in the default buffer (16kB) and sometimes it might be
desired to have larger buffers in order to find patterns. Running checks on
smaller URIs is always preferred of course.

In deinit(), it is possible that we first free the listeners, then
unbind them all. Right now this situation can't happen because the
only way to call deinit() is to pass via a soft-stop which will
already unbind all protocols. But later this might become a problem.
This counter is incremented for each incoming connection and each active
listener, and is used to prevent haproxy from stopping upon SIGUSR1. It
will thus be possible for some tasks in increment this counter in order
to prevent haproxy from dying until they have completed their job.
Signal zero is never delivered by the system. However having a signal to
which functions and tasks can subscribe to be notified of a stopping event
is useful. So this patch does two things :
1) allow signal zero to be delivered from any function of signal handler
2) make soft_stop() deliver this signal so that tasks can be notified of
a stopping condition.
The two new functions below make it possible to register any number
of functions or tasks to a system signal. They will be called in the
registration order when the signal is received.
struct sig_handler *signal_register_fct(int sig, void (*fct)(struct sig_handler *), int arg);
struct sig_handler *signal_register_task(int sig, struct task *task, int reason);
In case of binding failure during startup, we wait for some time sending
signals to old pids so that they release the ports we need. But if there
aren't any old pids anymore, it's useless to wait, we prefer to fail fast.
Along with this change, we now have the number of old pids really found
in the nb_oldpids variable.
The 'client.c' file now only contained frontend-specific functions,
so it has naturally be renamed 'frontend.c'. Same for client.h. This
has also been an opportunity to remove some cross references from
files that should not have depended on it.
In the end, this file should contain a protocol-agnostic accept()
code, which would initialize a session, task, etc... based on an
accept() from a lower layer. Right now there are still references
to TCP.
Apparently some systems define MSG_NOSIGNAL but do not necessarily
check it (or maybe binaries are built somewhere and used on older
versions). There were reports of very recent FreeBSD setups causing
SIGPIPEs, while older ones catch the signal. Recent FreeBSD manpages
indeed define MSG_NOSIGNAL.
So let's now unconditionnaly catch the signal. It's useless not to do
it for the rare cases where it's not needed (linux 2.4 and below).
We are seeing both real servers repeatedly going on- and off-line with
a period of tens of seconds. Packet tracing, stracing, and adding
debug code to HAProxy itself has revealed that the real servers are
always responding correctly, but HAProxy is sometimes receiving only
part of the response.
It appears that the real servers are sending the test page as three
separate packets. HAProxy receives the contents of one, two, or three
packets, apparently randomly. Naturally, the health check only
succeeds when all three packets' data are seen by HAProxy. If HAProxy
and the real servers are modified to use a plain HTML page for the
health check, the response is in the form of a single packet and the
checks do not fail.
(...)
I've added buffer and length variables to struct server, and allocated
space with the rest of the server initialisation.
(...)
It seems to be working fine in my tests, and handles check responses
that are bigger than the buffer.
Marcello Gorlani reported that at least on FreeBSD, a long hostname
was reported with garbage on the stats page. POSIX does not make it
mandatory for gethostname() to NULL-terminate the string in case of
truncation, and at least FreeBSD appears not to do it. So let's
force null-termination to keep safe.
The bounce realign function was algorithmically good but as expected
it was not cache-friendly. Using it with large requests caused so many
cache thrashing that the function itself could drain 70% of the total
CPU time for only 0.5% of the calls !
Revert back to a standard memcpy() using a specially allocated swap
buffer. We're now back to 2M req/s on pipelined requests.
Thich patch fixes cfgparser not to leak memory on each
default server statement and adds several missing free
calls in deinit():
- free(l->name)
- free(l->counters)
- free(p->desc);
- free(p->fwdfor_hdr_name);
None of them are critical, hopefully.

Support the new syntax (http-request allow/deny/auth) in
http stats.
Now it is possible to use the same syntax is the same like in
the frontend/backend http-request access control:
acl src_nagios src 192.168.66.66
acl stats_auth_ok http_auth(L1)
stats http-request allow if src_nagios
stats http-request allow if stats_auth_ok
stats http-request auth realm LB
The old syntax is still supported, but now it is emulated
via private acls and an aditional userlist.
Add generic authentication & authorization support.
Groups are implemented as bitmaps so the count is limited to
sizeof(int)*8 == 32.
Encrypted passwords are supported with libcrypt and crypt(3), so it is
possible to use any method supported by your system. For example modern
Linux/glibc instalations support MD5/SHA-256/SHA-512 and of course classic,
DES-based encryption.
Cyril Bonté found that when an error is detected in one config file, it
is also reported in all other ones, which is wrong. The fix obviously
consists in checking the return code from readcfgfile() and not the
accumulator.
Cameron Simpson reported an annoying case where haproxy simply reports
"Error(s) found in configuration file" when the file is not found or
not readable.
Fortunately the parsing function still returns -1 in case of open
error, so we're able to detect the issue from the caller and report
the corresponding errno message.
Some rarely information are stored in fdtab, making it larger for no
reason (source port ranges, remote address, ...). Such information
lie there because the checks can't find them anywhere else. The goal
will be to move these information to the stream interface once the
checks make use of it.
For now, we move them to an fdinfo array. This simple change might
have improved the cache hit ratio a little bit because a 0.5% of
performance increase has measured.
During troubleshooting, it's often useful to get the list of supported
pollers but until now it was required to have a working configuration
first. Since the pollers are known before main() is called, let's list
them with the build options.
This patch implements "description" (proxy and global) and "node" (global)
options, removes "node-name" and adds "show-node" & "show-desc" options
for "stats". It also changes the way the header lines (with proxy name) and
the statistics are displayed, so stats no longer look so clumsy with very
long names.
Instead of "node-name" it is possible to use show-node/show-desc with
an optional parameter that overrides a default node/description.
backend cust-0045
# report specific values for this customer
stats show-node Europe
stats show-desc Master node for Europe, Asia, Africa
Commit 27a674efb8 introduced the ability
to configure buffer sizes. Unfortunately, the pool was created before
the conf was read, so that is was always set to the default size.
In order to fix that, we delay the call to init_buffer(), which is not
a problem since nothing uses it during the initialization.
The new tune.bufsize and tune.maxrewrite global directives allow one to
change the buffer size and the maxrewrite size. Right now, setting bufsize
too low will block stats sockets which will not be able to write at all.
An error checking must be added to buffer_write_chunk() so that if it
cannot write its message to an empty buffer, it causes the caller to abort.
Creating a frontend for the global stats socket will help merge
unix sockets management with the other socket management. Since
frontends are huge structs, we only allocate it if required.
This Linux-specific option was never really used in production and
has since been superseded by new splicing options brought by recent
Linux kernels.
It caused several particular cases in the code because the kernel
would take care of the session without haproxy being able to do
anything on it, which became hard to handle in the new architecture.
Let's simply get rid of it now that there is a replacement available.
Do not exit early at the first error found while checking configuration
validity. This particularly helps spotting multiple wrong tracked server
names at once.
Try not to immediately exit on non-fatal errors while parsing the
global section, so that the user has a chance to get most of the
errors at once, which is quite convenient especially during config
checks with the -c argument. Some other errors such as unresolved
server names also don't make the parser exit too early.
We now support up to 10 distinct configuration files. They are
all loaded in the order defined by -f <file1> -f <file2> ...
This can be useful in order to store global, private, public,
etc... configurations in distinct files.
This is a first step towards support of multiple configuration files.
Now readcfgfile() only reads a file in memory and performs very minimal
parsing. The checks are performed afterwards.
When a new process fails to grab some ports, it sends a signal to
the old process in order to release them. Then it tries to bind
again. If it still fails (eg: one of the ports is bound to a
completely different process), it must send the continue signal
to the old process so that this one re-binds to the ports. This
is correctly done, but the newly bound ports are not released
first, which sometimes causes the old process to remain running
with no port bound. The fix simply consists in unbinding all
ports before sending the signal to the old process.
It is recommended to have -D in init scripts, but -D also implies
quiet mode, which hides warning messages, and both options are now
completely unrelated. Remove the implication to get warnings with
-D.
The small list of signals currently handled by haproxy were processed
as soon as they were received. This has caused trouble with calls to
pool_gc2() occuring in the middle of libc's memory management functions
seldom causing deadlocks preventing the old process from leaving.
Now these signals use the new async signal framework and are called
asynchronously, when there is no risk of recursion. This ensures more
reliable operation, especially for sensible processing such as memory
management.
The byte counters have long been 64-bit to avoid overflows. But with
several sites nowadays, we see session counters wrap around every 10-days
or so. So it was the moment to switch counters to 64-bit, including
error and warning counters which can theorically rise as fast as session
counters even if in practice there is very low risk.
The performance impact should not be noticeable since those counters are
only updated once per session. The stats output have been carefully checked
for proper types on both 32- and 64-bit platforms.
If we get very large data at once, it's almost certain that it's
worthless trying to read again, because we got everything we could
get.
Doing this has made all -EAGAIN disappear from splice reads. The
threshold has been put in the global tunable structures so that if
we one day want to make it accessible from user config, it will be
easy to do so.
On overloaded systems, it sometimes happens that hundreds or thousands
of incoming connections are queued in the system's backlog, and all get
dequeued at once. The problem is that when haproxy processes them and
does not apply any limit, this can take some time and the internal date
does not progress, resulting in wrong timer measures for all sessions.
The most common effect of this is that all of these sessions report a
large request time (around several hundreds of ms) which is in fact
caused by the time spent accepting other connections. This might happen
on shared systems when the machine swaps.
For this reason, we finally apply a reasonable limit even in mono-process
mode. Accepting 100 connections at once is fast enough for extreme cases
and will not cause that much of a trouble when the system is saturated.
The "bind-process" keyword lets the admin select which instances may
run on which process (in multi-process mode). It makes it easier to
more evenly distribute the load across multiple processes by avoiding
having too many listen to the same IP:ports.
Setting "nosplice" in the global section will disable the use of TCP
splicing (both tcpsplice and linux 2.6 splice). The same will be
achieved using the "-dS" parameter on the command line.
The global tuning options right now only concern the polling mechanisms,
and they are not in the global struct itself. It's not very practical to
add other options so let's move them to the global struct and remove
types/polling.h which was not used for anything else.
global.maxconn/4 seems to be a good hint for global.maxpipes when that
one must be guessed. If the limit is reached, it's still possible to
set it manually in the configuration.
Using pipe pools makes pipe management a lot easier. It also allows to
remove quite a bunch of #ifdefs in areas which depended on the presence
or not of support for kernel splicing.
The buffer now holds a pointer to a pipe structure which is always NULL
except if there are still data in the pipe. When it needs to use that
pipe, it dynamically allocates it from the pipe pool. When the data is
consumed, the pipe is immediately released.
That way, there is no need anymore to care about pipe closure upon
session termination, nor about pipe creation when trying to use
splice().
Another immediate advantage of this method is that it considerably
reduces the number of pipes needed to use splice(). Tests have shown
that even with 0.2 pipe per connection, almost all sessions can use
splice(), because the same pipe may be used by several consecutive
calls to splice().
If splicing is enabled in a backend, we need to guess how many
pipes will be needed. We used to rely on fullconn, but this leads
to non-working splicing when fullconn is not specified. So we now
fallback to global.maxconn.
This code provides support for linux 2.6 kernel splicing. This feature
appeared in kernel 2.6.25, but initial implementations were awkward and
buggy. A kernel >= 2.6.29-rc1 is recommended, as well as some optimization
patches.
Using pipes, this code is able to pass network data directly between
sockets. The pipes are a bit annoying to manage (fd creation, release,
...) but finally work quite well.
Preliminary tests show that on high bandwidths, there's a substantial
gain (approx +50%, only +20% with kernel workarounds for corruption
bugs). With 2000 concurrent connections, with Myricom NICs, haproxy
now more easily achieves 4.5 Gbps for 1 process and 6 Gbps for two
processes buffers. 8-9 Gbps are easily reached with smaller numbers
of connections.
We also try to splice out immediately after a splice in by making
profit from the new ability for a data producer to notify the
consumer that data are available. Doing this ensures that the
data are immediately transferred between sockets without latency,
and without having to re-poll. Performance on small packets has
considerably increased due to this method.
Earlier kernels return only one TCP segment at a time in non-blocking
splice-in mode, while newer return as many segments as may fit in the
pipe. To work around this limitation without hurting more recent kernels,
we try to collect as much data as possible, but we stop when we believe
we have read 16 segments, then we forward everything at once. It also
ensures that even upon shutdown or EAGAIN the data will be forwarded.
Some tricks were necessary because the splice() syscall does not make
a difference between missing data and a pipe full, it always returns
EAGAIN. The trick consists in stop polling in case of EAGAIN and a non
empty pipe.
The receiver waits for the buffer to be empty before using the pipe.
This is in order to avoid confusion between buffer data and pipe data.
The BF_EMPTY flag now covers the pipe too.
Right now the code is disabled by default. It needs to be built with
CONFIG_HAP_LINUX_SPLICE, and the instances intented to use splice()
must have "option splice-response" (or option splice-request) enabled.
It is probably desirable to keep a pool of pre-allocated pipes to
avoid having to create them for every session. This will be worked
on later.
Preliminary tests show very good results, even with the kernel
workaround causing one memcpy(). At 3000 connections, performance
has moved from 3.2 Gbps to 4.7 Gbps.
Three new options have been added when CONFIG_HAP_LINUX_SPLICE is
set :
- splice-request
- splice-response
- splice-auto
They are used to enable splicing per frontend/backend. They are also
supported in defaults sections. The "splice-auto" option is meant to
automatically turn splice on for buffers marked as fast streamers.
This should save quite a bunch of file descriptors.
It was required to add a new "options2" field to the proxy structure
because the original "options" is full.
When global.maxpipes is not set, it is automatically adjusted to
the max of the sums of all frontend's and backend's maxconns for
those which have at least one splice option enabled.
Josh Goebel reported that haproxy silently dies when it fails to
chroot. In fact, it does so when in daemon mode, because daemon
mode has been disabling output for ages.
Since the code has been reworked, this could have been changed
because there is no reason for this anymore, hence this patch.

The INTBITS macro was found to be already defined on some platforms,
and to equal 32 (while INTBITS was 5 here). Due to pure luck, there
was no declaration conflict, but it's nonetheless a problem to fix.
Looking at the code showed that this macro was only used for left
shifts and nothing else anymore. So the replacement is obvious. The
new macro, BITS_PER_INT is more obviously correct.
It should be stated as a rule that a C file should never
include types/xxx.h when proto/xxx.h exists, as it gives
less exposure to declaration conflicts (one of which was
caught and fixed here) and it complicates the file headers
for nothing.
Only types/global.h, types/capture.h and types/polling.h
have been found to be valid includes from C files.
This is the first attempt at moving all internal parts from
using struct timeval to integer ticks. Those provides simpler
and faster code due to simplified operations, and this change
also saved about 64 bytes per session.
A new header file has been added : include/common/ticks.h.
It is possible that some functions should finally not be inlined
because they're used quite a lot (eg: tick_first, tick_add_ifset
and tick_is_expired). More measurements are required in order to
decide whether this is interesting or not.
Some function and variable names are still subject to change for
a better overall logics.
We now insert tasks in a certain sequence in the run queue.
The sorting key currently is the arrival order. It will now
be possible to apply a "nice" value to any task so that it
goes forwards or backwards in the run queue.
The calls to wake_expired_tasks() and maintain_proxies()
have been moved to the main run_poll_loop(), because they
had nothing to do in process_runnable_tasks().
The task_wakeup() function is not inlined anymore, as it was
only used at one place.
The qlist member of the task structure has been removed now.
The run_queue list has been replaced for an integer indicating
the number of tasks in the run queue.
The following config makes haproxy segfault on exit :
defaults
mode http
balance roundrobin
listen no-stats
bind :8001
listen stats
bind :8002
stats uri /stats
The simple fix is to ensure that p->uri_auth is not NULL
before dereferencing it.
The ultree code has been removed in favor of a simpler and
cleaner ebtree implementation. The eternity queue does not
need to exist anymore, and the pool_tree64 has been removed.
The ebtree node is stored in the task itself. The qlist list
header is still used by the run-queue, but will be able to
disappear once the run-queue uses ebtree too.
The first implementation of the monotonic clock did not verify
forward jumps. The consequence is that a fast changing time may
expire a lot of tasks. While it does seem minor, in fact it is
problematic because most machines which boot with a wrong date
are in the past and suddenly see their time jump by several
years in the future.
The solution is to check if we spent more apparent time in
a poller than allowed (with a margin applied). The margin
is currently set to 1000 ms. It should be large enough for
any poll() to complete.
Tests with randomly jumping clock show that the result is quite
accurate (error less than 1 second at every change of more than
one second).
If the system date is set backwards while haproxy is running,
some scheduled events are delayed by the amount of time the
clock went backwards. This is particularly problematic on
systems where the date is set at boot, because it seldom
happens that health-checks do not get sent for a few hours.
Before switching to use clock_gettime() on systems which
provide it, we can at least ensure that the clock is not
going backwards and maintain two clocks : the "date" which
represents what the user wants to see (mostly for logs),
and an internal date stored in "now", used for scheduled
events.
The dequeuing logic was completely wrong. First, a task was assigned
to all servers to process the queue, but this task was never scheduled
and was only woken up on session free. Second, there was no reservation
of server entries when a task was assigned a server. This means that
as long as the task was not connected to the server, its presence was
not accounted for. This was causing trouble when detecting whether or
not a server had reached maxconn. Third, during a redispatch, a session
could lose its place at the server's and get blocked because another
session at the same moment would have stolen the entry. Fourth, the
redispatch option did not work when maxqueue was reached for a server,
and it was not possible to do so without indefinitely hanging a session.
The root cause of all those problems was the lack of pre-reservation of
connections at the server's, and the lack of tracking of servers during
a redispatch. Everything relied on combinations of flags which could
appear similarly in quite distinct situations.
This patch is a major rework but there was no other solution, as the
internal logic was deeply flawed. The resulting code is cleaner, more
understandable, uses less magics and is overall more robust.
As an added bonus, "option redispatch" now works when maxqueue has
been reached on a server.
A new "redirect" keyword adds the ability to send an HTTP 301/302/303
redirection to either an absolute location or to a prefix followed by
the original URI. The redirection is conditionned by ACL rules, so it
becomes very easy to move parts of a site to another site using this.
This work was almost entirely done at Exceliance by Emeric Brun.
A test-case has been added in the tests/ directory.

This new parameter makes it possible to override the default
number of consecutive incoming connections which can be
accepted on a socket. By default it is not limited on single
process mode, and limited to 8 in multi-process mode.
The build process was getting annoying under some conditions,
especially on platforms which are used to set CFLAGS, as well
as those which set a lot of complex defines. The new Makefile
takes care of this situation by not mixing TARGET, CPU and user
values, and by making privileging the pre-setting of common
variables with the ability to override them.
Now CFLAGS and LDFLAGS are set by default and may be overridden
without the risk of breaking useful defines. Options are better
dealt with, and as a bonus, it was possible to merge the FreeBSD
and OpenBSD targets into the common GNU Makefile.
The report of build options by "haproxy -vv" has been slightly
adapted to the new mode. Options implied by architecture are not
reported, only user-specified options are. It is also possible to
add options which will not be reported in order not to mangle the
output when specifying dirty informations such as URLs...
The Makefile was copiously documented and it should be easier to
build for any target now. Backwards compatibility with older
build processes was kept, and warnings are emitted for deprecated
build options.
The error check in return of start_proxies checked for exact ERR_RETRYABLE
but did not consider the return as a bit field. The function returned both
ERR_RETRYABLE and ERR_ALERT, hence the problem.
Sometimes it is useful to find out how a given binary version was
built. The build compiler and options are now provided for this,
and it's possible to get them with the -vv option.
Under certain circumstances, it is very useful to be able to fail some
monitor requests. One specific case is when the number of servers in
the backend falls below a certain level. The new "monitor fail" construct
followed by either "if"/"unless" <condition> makes it possible to specify
ACL-based conditions which will make the monitor return 503 instead of
200. Any number of conditions can be passed. Another use may be to limit
the requests to local networks only.
It is very convenient for SNMP monitoring to have unique process ID,
proxy ID and server ID. Those have been added to the CSV outputs.
The numbers start at 1. 0 is reserved. For servers, 0 means that the
reported name is not a server name but half a proxy (FRONTEND/BACKEND).
A remaining hidden "-" in the CSV output has been eliminated too.
Some applications do not have a strict persistence requirement, yet
it is still desirable for performance considerations, due to local
caches on the servers. For some reasons, there are some applications
which cannot rely on cookies, and for which the last resort is to use
a parameter passed in the URL.
The new 'url_param' balance method is there to solve this issue. It
accepts a parameter name which is looked up from the URL and which
is then hashed to select a server. If the parameter is not found,
then the round robin algorithm is used in order to provide a normal
load balancing across the servers for the first requests. It would
have been possible to use a source IP hash instead, but since such
applications are generally buried behind multiple levels of
reverse-proxies, it would not provide a good balance.
The doc has been updated, and two regression testing configurations
have been added.
localtime() was called with pointers to tv_sec, which is time_t on
some platforms and long on others. A problem was encountered on
Sparc64 under OpenBSD where tv_sec is long (64 bits) and time_t is
32 bits. Since this architecture is big-endian, it exhibited the
bug because localtime() always worked with the high part of the
value which is always zero. This problem was identified and debugged
by Thierry Fournier.
The correct solution is to pass the date by value and not by pointer,
through an intermediate function. The use of localtime_r() instead of
localtime() also made it possible to get rid of the first call to
localtime() since it does not need to allocate memory anymore.
Removed old unused MODE_LOG and MODE_STATS, and replaced the "stats"
keyword in the global section. The new "stats" keyword in the global
section is used to create a UNIX socket on which the statistics will
be accessed. The client must issue a "show stat\n" command in order
to get a CSV-formated output similar to the output on the HTTP socket
in CSV mode.
A new generic protocol mechanism has been added. It provides
an easy method to implement new protocols with different
listeners (eg: unix sockets).
The listeners are automatically started at the right moment
and enabled after the possible fork().
This must come from a copy-paste typo: in the unlikely event that
fork() would fail, the parent process would only exit(1) if there
were old pids. That's non-sense.
When one server appears at the same position in multiple backends, it
receives all the checks from all the backends exactly at the same time
because the health-checks are only spread within a backend but not
globally.
Attached patch implements per-server start delay in a different way.
Checks are now spread globally - not locally to one backend. It also makes
them start faster - IMHO there is no need to add a 'server->inter' when
calculating first execution. Calculation were moved from cfgparse.c to
checks.c. There is a new function start_checks() and now it is not called
when haproxy is started in MODE_CHECK.
With this patch it is also possible to set a global 'spread-checks'
parameter. It takes a percentage value (1..50, probably something near
5..10 is a good idea) so haproxy adds or removes that many percent to the
original interval after each check. My test shows that with 18 backends,
54 servers total and 10000ms/5% it takes about 45m to mix them completely.
I decided to use rand/srand pseudo-random number generator. I am aware it
is not recommend for a good randomness but a) we do not need a good random
generator here b) it is probably the most portable one.
The following patch will give the ability to tweak socket linger mode.
You can use this option with "option nolinger" inside fronted or backend
configuration declaration.
This will help in environments where lots of FIN_WAIT sockets are
encountered.
This patch fixes a nasty bug raported by both glibc and valgrind, which
leads into a problem that haproxy does not exit when a new instace
starts ap (-sf/-st).

I found this bug trying to find why, after one week with many restarts, I
finished with >100 haproxy process running. ;)
The deinit() function is specialized in memory area freeing.
There were a ton of information that were not released at the
exit time, which made valgrind complain. Now, most of the entries
are freed. However, it seems like regfree() does not completely
free a regex (12 bytes lost per regex).
By default, epoll/kqueue used to return as many events as possible.
This could sometimes cause huge latencies (latencies of up to 400 ms
have been observed with many thousands of fds at once). Limiting the
number of events returned also reduces the latency by avoiding too
many blind processing. The value is set to 200 by default and can be
changed in the global section using the tune.maxpollevents parameter.
When we're interrupted by another instance, it is very likely
that the other one will need some memory. Now we know how to
free what is not used, so let's do it.
Also only free non-null pointers. Previously, pool_destroy()
did implicitly check for this case which was incidentely
needed.
Also during this process, a bug was found in appsession_refresh().
It would not automatically requeue the task in the queue, so the
old sessions would not vanish.
The timeout functions were difficult to manipulate because they were
rounding results to the millisecond. Thus, it was difficult to compare
and to check what expired and what did not. Also, the comparison
functions were heavy with multiplies and divides by 1000. Now, all
timeouts are stored in timevals, reducing the number of operations
for updates and leading to cleaner and more efficient code.
The rbtree-based wait queue consumes a lot of CPU. Use the ul2tree
instead. Lots of cleanups and code reorganizations made it possible
to reduce the task struct and simplify the code a bit.
The principle behind speculative I/O is to speculatively try to
perform I/O before registering the events in the system. This
considerably reduces the number of calls to epoll_ctl() and
sometimes even epoll_wait(), and manages to increase overall
performance by about 10%.
The new poller has been called "sepoll". It is used by default
on Linux when it works. A corresponding option "nosepoll" and
the command line argument "-ds" allow to disable it.
Gcc provides __attribute__((constructor)) which is very convenient
to execute functions at startup right before main(). All the pollers
have been converted to have their register() function declared like
this, so that it is not necessary anymore to call them from a centralized
file.
Some pollers such as kqueue lose their FD across fork(), meaning that
the registered file descriptors are lost too. Now when the proxies are
started by start_proxies(), the file descriptors are not registered yet,
leaving enough time for the fork() to take place and to get a new pollfd.
It will be the first call to maintain_proxies that will register them.
select, poll and epoll now have their dedicated functions and have
been split into distinct files. Several FD manipulation primitives
have been provided with each poller.
The rest of the code needs to be cleaned to remove traces of
StaticReadEvent/StaticWriteEvent. A trick involving a macro has
temporarily been used right now. Some work needs to be done to
factorize tests and sets everywhere.
logs are handled better with dedicated functions. The HTTP implementation
moved to proto_http.c. It has been cleaned up a bit. Now a frontend with
option httplog and no log will not call the function anymore.
Previously, use of the "usesrc" keyword could silently fail if
either the module was not loaded, or the user did not have enough
permissions. Now the errors are better diagnosed and more appropriate
advices are given.
- stats now support the HEAD method too
- extracted http request from the session
- huge rework of the HTTP parser which is now a 28-state FSM.
- linux-style likely/unlikely macros for optimization hints
- do not create a server socket when there's no server
This patch from Sin Yu makes use of an rbtree for the wait queue,
which will solve the slowdown problem encountered when timeouts
are heterogenous in the configuration. The next step will be to
turn maintain_proxies() into a per-proxy task so that we won't
have to scan them all after each poll() loop.
The tcp-splicing code has been merged, and a doc has been written.
A configuration example has been derived from the previous content
switching sample.
It is now possible to define an errorloc in the backend as well as
in the frontend. The backend's will be used first, and if undefined,
then the frontend's will be used instead. If none is used, then the
original error messages will be used.
The nbconn attribute in the proxies was not relevant anymore because
a frontend A may use backend B and both of them must account for their
respective connections. For this reason, there now are two separate
counters for frontend and backend connections.
The stats page has been updated to reflect the backend, but a separate
line entry for the frontend with error counts would be good.
Note that as of now, beconn may be higher than maxconn, because maxconn
applies to the frontend, while beconn may be increased due to sessions
passed from another frontend.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
