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.
All parsing errors were known but impossible to return. Now by making use
of memprintf(), we're able to build meaningful error messages that the
caller can display.
pattern_fetch_rdp_cookie() is useless now since it only used to add controls
on top of smp_fetch_rdp_cookie() which have now been integrated into the
pattern subsystem. Let's remove it.
A test was already performed which worked by pure luck due to integer types,
otherwise it would have been possible to start checking for an offset out of
the buffer's bounds if the buffer size was large enough to allow an integer
wrap. Let's perform explicit checks and use unsigned ints for offsets instead
of risking being hit later.
These ones were easy to adapt to ACL usage and may really be useful,
so let's make them available right now. It's likely that some extension
such as regex, string-to-IP and raw IP matching will be implemented in
the near future.
Since pattern_process() is able to automatically cast returned types
into expected types, we can safely use the sample functions to fetch
addresses whatever their family. The lowest castable type must be
declared with the keyword so that config checks pass.
Right now this means that src/dst use the same fetch function for ACLs
and patterns. src6/dst6 have been kept so that configs which explicitly
rely on v6 are properly checked.
src_port, dst_port and url_param have converged between ACLs and patterns.
This means that src_port is now available in patterns and that urlp_* has
been added to ACLs. Some code has moved to accommodate for static function
definitions, but there were little changes.
Patterns were using a bitmask to indicate if request or response was desired
in fetch functions and keywords. ACLs were using a bitmask in fetch keywords
and a single bit in fetch functions. ACLs were also using an ACL_PARTIAL bit
in fetch functions indicating that a non-final fetch was performed, which was
an abuse of the existing direction flag.
The change now consists in using :
- a capabilities field for fetch keywords => SMP_CAP_REQ/RES to indicate
if a keyword supports requests, responses, both, etc...
- an option field for fetch functions to indicate what the caller expects
(request/response, final/non-final)
The ACL_PARTIAL bit was reversed to get SMP_OPT_FINAL as it's more explicit
to know we're working on a final buffer than on a non-final one.
ACL_DIR_* were removed, as well as PATTERN_FETCH_*. L4 fetches were improved
to support being called on responses too since they're still available.
The <dir> field of all fetch functions was changed to <opt> which is now
unsigned.
The patch is large but mostly made of cosmetic changes to accomodate this, as
almost no logic change happened.
The former was only a wrapper to the second, let's remove it now that
the calling convention is exactly the same. This is the first function
to be unified between ACLs and samples.
Having the args everywhere will make it easier to share fetch functions
between patterns and ACLs. The only place where we could have needed
the expr was in the http_prefetch function which can do well without.
Previously, both pattern, backend and persist_rdp_cookie would build fake
ACL expressions to fetch an RDP cookie by calling acl_fetch_rdp_cookie().
Now we switch roles. The RDP cookie fetch function is provided as a sample
fetch function that all others rely on, including ACL. The code is exactly
the same, only the args handling moved from expr->args to args. The code
was moved to proto_tcp.c, but probably that a dedicated file would be more
suited to content handling.
We need the pattern fetchers and converters to correctly set the output type
so that they can be used by ACL fetchers. By using the sample type instead of
the keyword type, we also open the possibility to create some multi-type
pattern fetch methods later (eg: "src" being v4/v6). Right now the type in
the keyword is used to validate the configuration.
Now there is no more reference to union pattern_data. All pattern fetch and
conversion functions now make use of the common sample type. Note: none of
them adjust the type right now so it's important to do it next otherwise
we would risk sharing such functions with ACLs and seeing them fail.
This one is not needed anymore as we can return the data and its type in the
sample provided by the caller. ACLs now always return the proper type. BOOL
is already returned when the result is expected to be processed as a boolean.
temp_pattern has been unexported now.
The new sample types are necessary for the acl-pattern convergence.
These types are boolean and signed int. Some types were renamed for
less ambiguity (ip->ipv4, integer->uint).
This is used to validate that arguments are coherent. For instance,
payload_lv expects that the last arg (if any) is not more negative
than the sum of the first two. The error is reported if any.
We don't need the pattern-specific args parsers anymore, make use of the
common parser instead. We still need to improve this by adding a validation
function to report abnormal argument values or combinations. We don't report
precise parsing errors yet but this was not previously done either.
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.
The types and minimal number of ACL keyword arguments are now stored in
their declaration. This will allow many more fantasies if some ACL use
several arguments or types.
Doing so required to rework all ACL keyword declarations to add two
parameters. So this was a good opportunity for a general cleanup and
to sort all entries in alphabetical order.
We still have two pending issues :
- parse_acl_expr() checks for errors but has no way to report them to
the user ;
- the types of some arguments are still not resolved and kept as strings
(eg: ARGT_FE/BE/TAB) for compatibility reasons, which must be resolved
in acl_find_targets()
The ACL parser now uses the argument parser to build a typed argument list.
Right now arguments are all strings and only one argument is supported since
this is what ACLs currently support.
This change introduces the buffer's base pointer, which is the limit between
incoming and outgoing data. It's the point where the parsing should start
from. A number of computations have already been greatly simplified, but
more simplifications are expected to come from the removal of buf->r.
The changes appear good and have revealed occasional improper use of some
pointers. It is possible that this patch has introduced bugs or revealed
some, although preliminary testings tend to indicate that everything still
works as it should.
We don't have buf->l anymore. We have buf->i for pending data and
the total length is retrieved by adding buf->o. Some computation
already become simpler.
Despite extreme care, bugs are not excluded.
It's worth noting that msg->err_pos as set by HTTP request/response
analysers becomes relative to pending data and not to the beginning
of the buffer. This has not been completed yet so differences might
occur when outgoing data are left in the buffer.
These callbacks are used to retrieve the source and destination address
of a socket. The address flags are not hold on the stream interface and
not on the session anymore. The addresses are collected when needed.
This still needs to be improved to store the IP and port separately so
that it is not needed to perform a getsockname() when only the IP address
is desired for outgoing traffic.
%Bi return the backend source IP
%Bp return the backend source port
Add a function pointer in logformat_type to do additional configuration
during the log-format variable parsing.
Now strings and data blocks are stored in the temp_pattern's chunk
and matched against this one.
The rdp_cookie currently makes extensive use of acl_fetch_rdp_cookie()
and will be a good candidate for the initial rework so that ACLs use
the patterns framework and not the other way around.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are now stored into temp_pattern instead of
the dirty hack consisting into storing them into the consumer's target
address.
Some refactoring should now be possible since the methods used to fetch
source and destination addresses are similar between patterns and ACLs.
All ACL fetches which return integer value now store the result into
the temporary pattern struct. All ACL matches which rely on integer
also get their value there.
Note: the pattern data types are not set right now.
This is 1.5-specific. It causes issues with transparent source binding involving
hdr_ip. We must not try to bind() to a foreign address when the family is not set,
and we must set the family when an address is set.
Daniel Rankov reported that "option nolinger" is inefficient on backends.
The reason is that it is set on the file descriptor only, which does not
prevent haproxy from performing a clean shutdown() before closing. We must
set the flag on the stream_interface instead if we want an RST to be emitted
upon active close.
Stream interfaces used to distinguish between client and server addresses
because they were previously of different types (sockaddr_storage for the
client, sockaddr_in for the server). This is not the case anymore, and this
distinction is confusing at best and has caused a number of regressions to
be introduced in the process of converting everything to full-ipv6. We can
now remove this and have a much cleaner code.
Many inet_ntop calls were partially right, which was hard to detect given
the complex combinations. Some of them were relying on the listener's proto
instead of the address itself, which could have been different when dealing
with an accept-proxy connection.
The new addr_to_str() function does the dirty job and returns the family, which
makes it particularly suited to calls from switch/case statements. A large number
of if/else statements were removed and the stats output could even be cleaned up
in the case of session dump.
As a side effect of doing this, the resulting code is smaller by almost 1kB.
All changed parts have been tested and provided expected output.
This pattern fetch function extracts the value of the rdp cookie <name> as
a string and uses this value to match. This enables implementation of
persistence based on the mstshash cookie. This is typically done if there
is no msts cookie present.
This differs from "balance rdp-cookie" in that any balancing algorithm may
be used and thus the distribution of clients to backend servers is not
linked to a hash of the RDP cookie. It is envisaged that using a balancing
algorithm such as "balance roundrobin" or "balance leastconnect" will lead
to a more even distribution of clients to backend servers than the hash
used by "balance rdp-cookie".
Example :
listen tse-farm
bind 0.0.0.0:3389
# wait up to 5s for an RDP cookie in the request
tcp-request inspect-delay 5s
tcp-request content accept if RDP_COOKIE
# apply RDP cookie persistence
persist rdp-cookie
# Persist based on the mstshash cookie
# This is only useful makes sense if
# balance rdp-cookie is not used
stick-table type string size 204800
stick on rdp_cookie(mstshash)
server srv1 1.1.1.1:3389
server srv1 1.1.1.2:3389
Mark Brooks reported that commit 1b4b7c broke tproxy in 1.5-dev6. Nick
Chalk tracked the issue down to a missing address family setting in
tcp_bind_socket() which resulted in a failure to use get_addr_len().
This issue is 1.5-specific.
John Helliwell reported a runtime issue on Solaris since 1.5-dev5. Traces
show that connect() returns EINVAL, which means the socket length is not
appropriate for the family. Solaris does not like being called with sizeof
and needs the address family's size on sockaddr_storage.
The fix consists in adding a get_addr_len() function which returns the
socket's address length based on its family. Tests show that this works
for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Since IPv6 is a different type than IPv4, the pattern fetch functions
src6 and dst6 were added. IPv6 stick-tables can also fetch IPv4 addresses
with src and dst. In this case, the IPv4 addresses are mapped to their
IPv6 counterpart, according to RFC 4291.
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.
This patch turns internal server addresses to sockaddr_storage to
store IPv6 addresses, and makes the connect() function use it. This
code already works but some caveats with getaddrinfo/gethostbyname
still need to be sorted out while the changes had to be merged at
this stage of internal architecture changes. So for now the config
parser will not emit an IPv6 address yet so that user experience
remains unchanged.
This change should have absolutely zero user-visible effect, otherwise
it's a bug introduced during the merge, that should be reported ASAP.
