With the master worker, the seamless reload was still requiring an
external stats socket to the previous process, which is a pain to
configure.
This patch implements a way to use the internal socketpair between the
master and the workers to transfer the sockets during the reload.
This way, the master will always try to transfer the socket, even
without any configuration.
The master will still reload with the -x argument, followed by the
sockpair@ syntax. ( ex -x sockpair@4 ). Which use the FD of internal CLI
to the worker.
Previously, the cleanup of the listeners was done in mworker_loop(),
which was called once the configuration file was parsed. HAProxy was
switching in wait mode when the configuration failed to load, so no
listeners where created.
Since the latest change on the mworker mode, HAProxy switch to wait mode
after successfuly loading the configuration, without cleaning its
listeners, because it was done in mworker_loop, resulting in the master
not closing its listeners and keeping them. The master needs its
configuration to know which listeners it need to close, so that must be
done before the exec().
This patch fixes the problem by cleaning the listeners in the
mworker_reexec() function.
No backport needeed.
Implement a reload failure counter which counts the number of failure
since the last success. This counter is available in 'show proc' over
the master CLI.
Clarify the startup and reload messages:
On a successful configuration load, haproxy will emit "Loading success."
after successfuly forked the children.
When it didn't success to load the configuration it will emit "Loading failure!".
When trying to reload the master process, it will emit "Reloading
HAProxy".
Use the waitpid mode after successfully loading the configuration, this
way the memory will be freed in the master, and will preserve the memory.
This will be useful when doing a reload with a configuration which has
large maps or a lot of SSL certificates, avoiding an OOM because too
much memory was allocated in the master.
nbproc was removed, it's time to remove any reference to the relative
PID in the master-worker, since there can be only 1 current haproxy
process.
This patch cleans up the alerts and warnings emitted during the exit of
a process, as well as the "show proc" output.
A proxy may now references the defaults section it is used. To do so, a
pointer on the default proxy was added in the proxy structure. And a
refcount must be used to track proxies using a default proxy. A default
proxy is destroyed iff its refcount is equal to zero and when it drops to
zero.
All this stuff must be performed during init/deinit staged for now. All
unreferenced default proxies are removed after the configuration parsing.
This patch is mandatory to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections.
This change is required to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections. The
'disabled' bitfield in the proxy structure, used to know if a proxy is
disabled or stopped, is replaced a generic bitfield named 'flags'.
PR_DISABLED and PR_STOPPED flags are renamed to PR_FL_DISABLED and
PR_FL_STOPPED respectively. In addition, everywhere there is a test to know
if a proxy is disabled or stopped, there is now a bitwise AND operation on
PR_FL_DISABLED and/or PR_FL_STOPPED flags.
ha_set_tid() was randomly used either to explicitly set thread 0 or to
set any possibly incomplete thread during boot. Let's replace it with
a pointer to a valid thread or NULL for any thread. This allows us to
check that the designated threads are always valid, and to ignore the
thread 0's mapping when setting it to NULL, and always use group 0 with
it during boot.
The initialization code is also cleaner, as we don't pass ugly casts
of a thread ID to a pointer anymore.
The scheduler contains a lot of stuff that is thread-local and not
exclusively tied to the scheduler. Other parts (namely thread_info)
contain similar thread-local context that ought to be merged with
it but that is even less related to the scheduler. However moving
more data into this structure isn't possible since task.h is high
level and cannot be included everywhere (e.g. activity) without
causing include loops.
In the end, it appears that the task_per_thread represents most of
the per-thread context defined with generic types and should simply
move to tinfo.h so that everyone can use them.
The struct was renamed to thread_ctx and the variable "sched" was
renamed to "th_ctx". "sched" used to be initialized manually from
run_thread_poll_loop(), now it's initialized by ha_set_tid() just
like ti, tid, tid_bit.
The memset() in init_task() was removed in favor of a bss initialization
of the array, so that other subsystems can put their stuff in this array.
Since the tasklet array has TL_CLASSES elements, the TL_* definitions
was moved there as well, but it's not a problem.
The vast majority of the change in this patch is caused by the
renaming of the structures.
This was previously open-coded in run_thread_poll_loop(). Now that
we have clock.c dedicated to such stuff, let's move the code there
so that we don't need to keep such ifdefs nor to depend on the
clock_id.
There is currently a problem related to time keeping. We're mixing
the functions to perform calculations with the os-dependent code
needed to retrieve and adjust the local time.
This patch extracts from time.{c,h} the parts that are solely dedicated
to time keeping. These are the "now" or "before_poll" variables for
example, as well as the various now_*() functions that make use of
gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to retrieve the current time.
The "tv_*" functions moved there were also more appropriately renamed
to "clock_*".
Other parts used to compute stolen time are in other files, they will
have to be picked next.
It was brought by a variable declared after some statements in commit
21185970c ("MINOR: proc: setting the process to produce a core dump on
FreeBSD."). It's worth noting that some versions of clang seem to ignore
-Wdeclaration-after-statement by default. No backport is needed.
This removes the thread identifiers from struct thread_info and moves
them only in static array in thread.c since it's now the only file that
needs to touch it. It's also the only file that needs to include
pthread.h, beyond haproxy.c which needs it to start the poll loop. As
a result, much less system includes are needed and the LoC reduced by
around 3%.
haproxy.c still has to deal with pthread-specific low-level stuff that
is OS-dependent. We should not have to deal with this there, and we do
not need to access pthread anywhere else.
Let's move these 3 functions to thread.c and keep empty inline ones for
when threads are disabled.
The startup code was still ugly with tons of unreadable nested ifdefs.
Let's just have one function to set up the extra threads and another one
to wait for their completion. The ifdefs are isolated into their own
functions now and are more readable, just like the end of main(), which
now uses the same statements to start thread 0 with and without threads.
Till now the threads startup was quite messy:
- we would start all threads but one
- then we would change all threads' CPU affinities
- then we would manually start the poll loop for the current thread
Let's change this by moving the CPU affinity setting code to a function
set_thread_cpu_affinity() that does this job for the current thread only,
and that is called during the thread's initialization in the polling loop.
It takes care of not doing this for the master, and will result in all
threads to be properly bound earlier and with cleaner code. It also
removes some ugly nested ifdefs.
Move the code to allocate/free the mux cleanup task outside of the polling
loop. A new thread_alloc/free handler is registered for this in
connection.c.
This has the benefit to clean up the polling loop code. And as another
benefit, if the task allocation fails, the handler can report an error
to exit the haproxy process. This prevents a potential null pointer
dereferencing.
This should fix the github issue #1389.
This must be backported up to 2.4.
The vars_init() name is particularly confusing as it does not initialize
the variables code but the head of a list of variables passed in
arguments. And we'll soon need to have proper initialization code, so
let's rename it now.
using the procctl api to set the current process as traceable, thus being able to produce a core dump as well.
making it as compile option if not wished or using freebsd prior to 11.x (last no EOL release).
User reported that the config check returns an error with the message:
"Configuration file has no error but will not start (no listener) => exit(2)."
if the configuration present only a log-forward section with bind or dgram-bind
listeners but no listen/backend nor peer sections.
The process checked if there was 'peers' section avalaible with
an internal frontend (and so a listener) or a 'listen/backend'
section not disabled with at least one configured listener (into the
global proxies_list). Since the log-forward proxies appear in a
different list, they were not checked.
This patch adds a lookup on the 'log-forward' proxies list to check
if one of them presents a listener and is not disabled. And
this is done only if there was no available listener found into
'listen/backend' sections.
I have also studied how to re-work this check considering the 'listeners'
counter used after startup/init to keep the same algo and avoid further
mistakes but currently this counter seems increased during config parsing
and if a proxy is disabled, decreased during startup/init which is done
after the current config check. So the fix still not rely on this
counter.
This patch should fix the github issue #1346
This patch should be backported as far as 2.3 (so on branches
including the "log-forward" feature)
Commit 048368ef6 ("MINOR: deinit: always deinit the init_mutex on
failed initialization") added the missing unlock but forgot to
condition it on USE_THREAD, resulting in a build failure. No
backport is needed.
This addresses oss-fuzz issue 36426.
This undocumented variable is only for internal use, and its sole
presence affects the process' behavior, as shown in bug #1324. It must
not be exported to workers, external checks, nor programs. Let's unset
it before forking programs and workers.
This should be backported as far as 1.8. The worker code might differ
a bit before 2.5 due to the recent removal of multi-process support.
The master-worker code registers an exit handler to deal with configuration
issues during reload, leading to a restart of the master process in wait
mode. But it shouldn't do that when it's expected that the program stops
during config parsing or condition checks, as the reload operation is
unexpectedly called and results in abnormal behavior and even crashes:
$ HAPROXY_MWORKER_REEXEC=1 ./haproxy -W -c -f /dev/null
Configuration file is valid
[NOTICE] (18418) : haproxy version is 2.5-dev2-ee2420-6
[NOTICE] (18418) : path to executable is ./haproxy
[WARNING] (18418) : config : Reexecuting Master process in waitpid mode
Segmentation fault
$ HAPROXY_MWORKER_REEXEC=1 ./haproxy -W -cc 1
[NOTICE] (18412) : haproxy version is 2.5-dev2-ee2420-6
[NOTICE] (18412) : path to executable is ./haproxy
[WARNING] (18412) : config : Reexecuting Master process in waitpid mode
[WARNING] (18412) : config : Reexecuting Master process
Note that the presence of this variable happens by accident when haproxy
is called from within its own programs (see issue #1324), but this should
be the object of a separate fix.
This patch fixes this by preventing the atexit registration in such
situations. This should be backported as far as 1.8. MODE_CHECK_CONDITION
has to be dropped for versions prior to 2.5.
The init_mutex was not unlocked in case an error is encountered during
a thread initialization, and the polling loop was aborted during startup.
In practise it does not have any observable effect since an explicit
exit() is placed there, but it could confuse some debugging tools or
some static analysers, so let's release it as expected.
This addresses issue #1326.
The removal for the shared inter-process cache in commit 6fd0450b4
("CLEANUP: shctx: remove the different inter-process locking techniques")
accidentally removed the enforcement of rlimit_memmax_all which
corresponds to what is passed to the command-line "-m" argument.
Let's restore it.
Thanks to @nafets227 for spotting this. This fixes github issue #1319.
Till now we were dealing with single-word expressions but in order to
extend the configuration condition language a bit more, we'll need to
support slightly more complex expressions involving operators, and we
must absolutely support spaces around them to keep them readable.
As all arguments are pointers to the same line with spaces replaced by
zeroes, we can trivially rebuild the whole line before calling the
condition evaluator, and remove the test for extraneous argument. This
is what this patch does.
The .if/.else/.endif and condition evaluation code is quite dirty and
was dumped into cfgparse.c because it was easy. But it should be tidied
quite a bit as it will need to evolve.
Let's move all that to cfgcond.{c,h}.
I found myself a few times testing some conditoin examples from the doc
against command line's "-cc" to see that they didn't work with environment
variables expansion. Not being documented as being on purpose it looks like
a miss, so let's add PARSE_OPT_ENV and PARSE_OPT_WORD_EXPAND to be able to
test for example -cc "streq(${WITH_SSL},yes)" to help debug expressions.
This adds the exact same restriction as commit 5546c8bdc ("MINOR:
cfgparse: Fail when encountering extra arguments in macro") but for
the "-cc" command line argument, for the sake of consistency.
Modern compilers love to break existing code, and some options detected
at build time (such as -fwrapv) are absolutely critical otherwise some
bad code can be generated.
Given that some users rely on packages that force CFLAGS without being
aware of this and can be hit by runtime bugs, we have to help packagers
figure that they need to be careful about their build options.
The test here consists in detecting correct wrapping of signed integers.
Some of the old code relies on it, and modern compilers recently decided
to break it. It's normally addressed using -fwrapv which users will
rarely enforce in their own flags. Thus it is a good indicator of missing
critical CFLAGS, and it happens to be very easy to detect at run time.
Note that the test uses argc in order to have a variable. While gcc
ignores wrapping even for constants, clang only ignores it for variables.
The way the code is constructed doesn't result in code being emitted for
optimized builds thanks to value range propagation.
This should address GitHub issue #1315, and should be backported to all
stable versions. It may result in instantly breaking binaries that seemed
to work fine (typically the ones suddenly showing a busy loop after a few
weeks of uptime), and require packagers to fix their flags. The vast
majority of distro packages are fine and will not be affected though.
Explicitly call ssl_initialize_random to initialize the random generator
in init() global function. If the initialization fails, the startup is
interrupted.
This commit is in preparation for support of ssl on dynamic servers. To
be able to activate ssl on dynamic servers, it is necessary to ensure
that the random generator is initialized on startup regardless of the
config. It cannot be called at runtime as access to /dev/urandom is
required.
This also has the effect to fix the previous non-consistent behavior.
Indeed, if bind or server in the config are using ssl, the
initialization function was called, and if it failed, the startup was
interrupted. Otherwise, the ssl initialization code could have been
called through the ssl server for lua, but this times without blocking
the startup on error. Or not called at all if lua was deactivated.
With a single process, we don't need to USE_PRIVATE_CACHE, USE_FUTEX
nor USE_PTHREAD_PSHARED anymore. Let's only keep the basic spinlock
to lock between threads.
The relative_pid is always 1. In mworker mode we also have a
child->relative_pid which is always equalt relative_pid, except for a
master (0) or external process (-1), but these types are usually tested
for, except for one place that was amended to carefully check for the
PROC_O_TYPE_WORKER option.
Changes were pretty limited as most usages of relative_pid were for
designating a process in stats output and peers protocol.
Lots of places iterating over nbproc or comparing with nbproc could be
simplified. Further, "bind-process" and "process" parsing that was
already limited to process 1 or "all" or "odd" resulted in a bind_proc
field that was either 0 or 1 during the init phase and later always 1.
All the checks for compatibilities were removed since it's not possible
anymore to run a frontend and a backend on different processes or to
have peers and stick-tables bound on different ones. This is the largest
part of this patch.
The bind_proc field was removed from both the proxy and the receiver
structs.
Since the "process" and "bind-process" directives are still parsed,
configs making use of correct values allowing process 1 will continue
to work.
There was a loop iterating over all nbproc values during init that
couldn't be immediately removed because the loop's index was used
to distinguish a child from a parent. That's now fixed by replacing
the iterator with an in_parent flag. All bindings that were checking
(1UL << proc) or cpu_map.proc[proc] were adjusted to always use zero
for proc.
Since its introduction in 1.8 with commit 095ba4c24 ("MEDIUM: mworker:
replace systemd mode by master worker mode"), it says "cannot chroot1(...)"
which seems to be a leftover of a debug message. It could be backported but
probably nobody will notice.
This one was deprecated in 2.3 and marked for removal in 2.5. It suffers
too many limitations compared to threads, and prevents some improvements
from being engaged. Instead of a bypassable startup error, there is now
a hard error.
The parsing code was removed, and very few obvious cases were as well.
The code is deeply rooted at certain places (e.g. "for" loops iterating
from 0 to nbproc) so it will not be that trivial to remove everywhere.
The "bind" and "bind-process" parsers will have to be adjusted, though
maybe not completely changed if we later want to support thread groups
for large NUMA machines. Some stats socket restrictions were removed,
and the doc was updated according to what was done. A few places in the
doc still refer to nbproc and will have to be revisited. The master-worker
code also refers to the process number to distinguish between master and
workers and will have to be carefully adjusted. The MAX_PROCS macro was
reset to 1, this will at least reduce the size of some remaining arrays.
Two regtests were dependieng on this directive, one with an explicit
"nbproc 1" and another one testing the master's CLI using nbproc 4.
Both were adapted.
This patch adds the `-cc` (check condition) argument to evaluate conditions on
startup and return the result as the exit code.
As an example this can be used to easily check HAProxy's version in scripts:
haproxy -cc 'version_atleast(2.4)'
This resolves GitHub issue #1246.
