On some operating systems, RLIM_INFINITY is set to -1 so that when the
hard limit on the number of FDs is set to unlimited, taking the MAX
of both values keeps rlim_fd_cur and everything works. But on other
systems this values is defined as the highest positive integer. This
is what was observed on a 32-bit AIX 5.1. The effect is that maxsock
becomes 2^31-1 and that fdtab allocation fails.
Note that a simple workaround consists in manually setting maxconn in
the global section.
Let's ignore unlimited as soon as we retrieve rlim_fd_max so that all
systems behave consistently.
This may be backported as far as 2.0, though it doesn't seem like it
has annoyed anyone.
When factoring out the pause/resume error messages in commit 775e00158
("MAJOR: signals: use protocol_pause_all() and protocol_resume_all()")
I forgot that ha_warning() and send_log() take a format string and not
just a const string. No backport is needed, this is 2.3-dev.
When temporarily pausing the listeners with SIG_TTOU, we now pause
all listeners via the protocols instead of the proxies. This has the
benefits that listeners are paused regardless of whether or not they
belong to a visible proxy. And for resuming via SIG_TTIN we do the
same, which allows to report binding conflicts and address them,
since the operation can be repeated on a per-listener basis instead
of a per-proxy basis.
While in appearance all cases were properly handled, it's impossible
to completely rule out the possibility that something broken used to
work by luck due to the scan ordering which is naturally different,
hence the major tag.
The two functions don't need to be distinguished anymore since they have
all the necessary info to act as needed on their listeners. Let's just
pass via stop_proxy() and make it check for each listener which one to
close or not.
Its sole remaining purpose was to display "proxy foo started", which
has little benefit and pollutes output for those with plenty of proxies.
Let's remove it now.
The VTCs were updated to reflect this, because many of them had explicit
counts of dropped lines to match this message.
This is tagged as MEDIUM because some users may be surprized by the
loss of this quite old message.
The remaining proxy states were only used to distinguish an enabled
proxy from a disabled one. Due to the initialization order, both
PR_STNEW and PR_STREADY were equivalent after startup, and they
would only differ from PR_STSTOPPED when the proxy is disabled or
shutdown (which is effectively another way to disable it).
Now we just have a "disabled" field which allows to distinguish them.
It's becoming obvious that start_proxies() is only used to print a
greeting message now, that we'd rather get rid of. Probably that
zombify_proxy() and stop_proxy() should be merged once their
differences move to the right place.
Instead of looking at listeners in proxies in PR_STNEW state, we'd
rather check for listeners in those not in PR_STSTOPPED as it's only
this state which indicates the proxy was disabled. And let's check
the listeners count instead of testing the list's head.
Because of the zombie state, proxies have a skewed vision of the state
of listeners, which explains why there are hacks switching the state
from ZOMBIE to INIT in the proxy cleaning loop. This is particularly
complicated and not needed, as all the information is now available
in the protocol list and the fdtab.
What we do here instead is to first close all active listeners or
receivers by protocol and clean their protocol parts. Then we scan the
fdtab to get rid of remaining ones that were necessarily in INIT state
after a previous invocation of delete_listener(). From this point, we
know the listeners are cleaned, the can safely be freed by scanning the
proxies.
During the startup process we don't have any fdtab nor fd_updt for quite
a long time, and as such some operations on the listeners are not
permitted, such as fd_want_*/fd_stop_* or fd_delete(). The latter is of
particular concern because it's used when stopping a disabled frontend,
and it's performed very early during check_config_validity() while there
is no fdtab yet. The trick till now relies on the listener's state which
is a bit brittle.
There is absolutely no valid reason for stopping a proxy's listeners this
early, we can postpone it after init_pollers() which will at least have
allocated fdtab.
Old processes didn't die if a log foward section is declared and
a soft stop is requested.
This patch fix this issue and should be backpored in banches including
the log forward feature.
This is executed on startup with the registered statistics module. The
existing statistics have been merged in a list containing all
statistics for each domain. This is useful to print all available
statistics in a generic way.
Allocate extra counters for all proxies/servers/listeners instances.
These counters are allocated with the counters from the stats modules
registered on startup.
We use chunk_initstr() to store the program name as the default log-tag.
If we use the log-tag directive in the config file, this chunk will be
destroyed and replaced. chunk_initstr() sets the chunk size to 0 so we
will free the chunk itself, but not its content.
This happens for a global section and also for a proxy.
We fix this by using chunk_initlen() instead of chunk_initstr().
We also check that the memory allocation was successfull, otherwise we quit.
This fixes github issue #850.
It can be backported as far as 1.9, with minor adjustments to includes.
The code dealing with zombie proxies in soft_stop() is bogus, it uses
close() instead of fd_delete(), leaving a live entry in the fdtab with
a dangling pointer to a free memory location. The FD might be reassigned
for an outgoing connection for the time it takes the proxy to completely
stop, or could be dumped on the CLI's "show fd" command. In addition,
the listener's FD was not even reset, leaving doubts about whether or
not it will happen again in deinit().
And in deinit(), the loop in charge of closing zombie FDs is particularly
unsafe because it closes the fd then calls unbind_listener() then
delete_listener() hoping none of them will touch it again. Since it
requires some mental efforts to figure what's done there, let's correctly
reset the fd here as well and close it using fd_delete() to eliminate any
remaining doubts.
It's uncertain whether this should be backported. Zombie proxies are rare
and the situations capable of triggering such issues are not trivial to
setup. However it's easy to imagine how things could go wrong if backported
too far. Better wait for any matching report if at all (this code has been
there since 1.8 without anobody noticing).
The listening socket is represented by its file descriptor, which is
generic to all receivers and not just listeners, so it must move to
the rx struct.
It's worth noting that in order to extend receivers and listeners to
other protocols such as QUIC, we'll need other handles than file
descriptors here, and that either a union or a cast to uintptr_t
will have to be used. This was not done yet and the field was
preserved under the name "fd" to avoid adding confusion.

This allocation technically is always reachable and cannot leak, however other
global variables such as `oldpids` are already being freed. This is in an
attempt to get HAProxy to a state where there are zero live allocations after a
clean exit.

It was reported in bug #837 that haproxy -s causes a 100% CPU.
However this option does not exist and haproxy must exit with the
usage message.
The parser was not handling the case where -s is not followed by 't' or
'f' which are the only two valid cases.
This bug was introduced by df6c5a ("BUG/MEDIUM: mworker: fix the copy of
options in copy_argv()") which was backported as far as 1.8.
This fix must be backported as far as 1.8.
Ever since the protocols were added in 1.3.13, listeners used to be
started twice:
- once by start_proxies(), which iteratees over all proxies then all
listeners ;
- once by protocol_bind_all() which iterates over all protocols then
all listeners ;
It's a real mess because error reporting is not even consistent, and
more importantly now that some protocols do not appear in regular
proxies (peers, logs), there is no way to retry their binding should
it fail on the last step.
What this patch does is to make sure that listeners are exclusively
started by protocols. The failure to start a listener now causes the
emission of an error indicating the proxy's name (as it used to be
the case per proxy), and retryable failures are silently ignored
during all but last attempts.
The start_proxies() function was kept solely for setting the proxy's
state to READY and emitting the "Proxy started" message and log that
some have likely got used to seeking in their logs.
The new function was called sock_get_old_sockets() and was left as-is
except a minimum amount of style lifting to make it more readable. It
will never be awesome anyway since it's used very early in the boot
sequence and needs to perform socket I/O without any external help.
The function now makes it clear that it's independent on the socket
type and solely relies on the address family. Note that it supports
both IPv4 and IPv6 as we don't seem to need it per-family.
get_old_sockets() mistakenly sets ret=0 instead of ret2=0 before leaving
when the old process announces zero FD. So it will return an error
instead of success. This must be particularly rare not to have a
single socket to offer though!
A few comments were added to make it more obvious what to expect in
return.
This must be backported to 1.8 since the bug has always been there.
During a reload operation, we used to send listener options associated
with each passed file descriptor. These were passed as binary contents
for the size of the "options" field in the struct listener. This means
that any flag value change or field size change would be problematic,
the former failing to properly grab certain options, the latter possibly
causing permanent failures during this operation.
Since these two previous commits:
MINOR: reload: determine the foreing binding status from the socket
BUG/MINOR: reload: detect the OS's v6only status before choosing an old socket
we don't need this anymore as the values are determined from the file
descriptor itself.
Let's just turn the previous 32 bits to vestigal space, send them as
zeroes and ignore them on receipt. The only possible side effect is if
someone would want to roll back from a 2.3 to 2.2 or earlier, such options
might be ignored during this reload. But other forthcoming changes might
make this fail as well anyway so that's not a reason for keeping this
behavior.
Let's not look at the listener options passed by the original process
and determine from the socket itself whether it is configured for
transparent mode or not. This is cleaner and safer, and doesn't rely
on flag values that could possibly change between versions.
The v4v6 and v6only options are passed as data during the socket transfer
between processes so that the new process can decide whether it wants to
reuse a socket or not. But this actually misses one point: if no such option
is set and the OS defaults are changed between the reloads, then the socket
will still be inherited and will never be rebound using the new options.
This can be seen by starting the following config:
global
stats socket /tmp/haproxy.sock level admin expose-fd listeners
frontend testme
bind :::1234
timeout client 2000ms
Having a look at the OS settins, v6only is disabled:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
0
A first check shows it's indeed bound to v4 and v6:
$ ss -an -6|grep 1234
tcp LISTEN 0 2035 *:1234 *:*
Reloading the process doesn't change anything (which is expected). Now let's set
bindv6only:
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
1
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
1
Reloading gives the same state:
$ ss -an -6|grep 1234
tcp LISTEN 0 2035 *:1234 *:*
However a restart properly shows a correct bind:
$ ss -an -6|grep 1234
tcp LISTEN 0 2035 [::]:1234 [::]:*
This one doesn't change once bindv6only is reset, for the same reason.
This patch attacks this problem differently. Instead of passing the two
options at once for each listening fd, it ignores the options and reads
the socket's current state for the IPV6_V6ONLY flag and sets it only.
Then before looking for a compatible FD, it checks the OS's defaults
before deciding which of the v4v6 and v6only needs to be kept on the
listener. And the selection is only made on this.
First, it addresses this issue. Second, it also ensures that if such
options are changed between reloads to identical states, the socket
can still be inherited. For example adding v4v6 when bindv6only is not
set will allow the socket to still be usable. Third, it avoids an
undesired dependency on the LI_O_* bit values between processes across
a reload (for these ones at least).
It might make sense to backport this to some recent stable versions, but
quite frankly the likelyhood that anyone will ever notice it is extremely
faint.
Free the snapshots on deinit() when they were initialized in a proxy

As reported in issue #724, openbsd fails to build in haproxy.c

is only compiled when RLIMIT_AS is not defined, which seems to be
rare these days.
This may be backported to older versions as the problem was likely
introduced when strict limits were added.
Enables ('on') or disables ('off') sharing of idle connection pools between
threads for a same server. The default is to share them between threads in
order to minimize the number of persistent connections to a server, and to
optimize the connection reuse rate. But to help with debugging or when
suspecting a bug in HAProxy around connection reuse, it can be convenient to
forcefully disable this idle pool sharing between multiple threads, and force
this option to "off". The default is on.
This could have been nice to have during the idle connections debugging,
but it's not too late to add it!
Commit d645574 ("MINOR: soft-stop: let the first stopper only signal

thread signals all other threads, it also signals itself. When
single-threaded, the process constantly wakes up while waiting for
last connections to exit. Let's reintroduce the lost mask to avoid
this.
