The server ID is currently stored as a 32-bit int using an eb32 tree.
It's used essentially to find holes in order to automatically assign IDs,
and to detect duplicates. Let's change this to use compact trees instead
in order to save 24 bytes in struct server for this node, plus 8 bytes in
struct proxy. The server struct is still 3904 bytes large (due to
alignment) and the proxy struct is 3072.
The listener ID is currently stored as a 32-bit int using an eb32 tree.

the root (which is static so not much relevant here). Now the proxy is
3088 bytes large.
This was previously achieved via the generic get_next_id() but we'll soon
get rid of generic ID trees so let's have a dedicated server_get_next_id().
As a bonus it reduces the exposure of the tree's root outside of the functions.

This is used to index the server name and it contains a copy of the
pointer to the server's name in <id>. Changing that for a ceb_node placed
just before <id> saves 32 bytes to the struct server, which remains 3968
bytes large due to alignment. The proxy struct shrinks by 8 bytes to 3144.
It's worth noting that the current way duplicate names are handled remains
based on the previous mechanism where dups were permitted. Ideally we
should now reject them during insertion and use unique key trees instead.
For HTTPS outgoing connections, the SNI is now automatically set using the
Host header value if no other value is already set (via the "sni" server
keyword). It is now the default behavior. It could be disabled with the
"no-sni-auto" server keyword. And eventually "sni-auto" server keyword may
be used to reset any previous "no-sni-auto" setting. This option can be
inherited from "default-server" settings. Finally, if no connection name is
set via "pool-conn-name" setting, the selected value is used.
The automatic selection of the SNI is enabled by default for all outgoing
connections. But it is concretely used for HTTPS connections only. The
expression used is "req.hdr(host),host_only".
This patch should paritally fix the issue #3081. It only covers the server
part. Another patch will add the feature for HTTP health-checks.
For many years, an unset load balancing algorithm would use "roundrobin".
It was shown several times that "random" with at least 2 draws (the
default) generally provides better performance and fairness in that
it will automatically adapt to the server's load and capacity. This
was further described with numbers in this discussion:
https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg46011.htmlhttps://github.com/orgs/haproxy/discussions/3042
BTW there were no objection and only support for the change.
The goal of this patch is to change the default algo when none is
specified, from "roundrobin" to "random". This way, users who don't
care and don't set the load balancing algorithm will benefit from a
better one in most cases, while those who have good reasons to prefer
roundrobin (for session affinity or for reproducible sequences like used
in regtests) can continue to specify it.
The vast majority of users should not notice a difference.
We used to allocate and prepare listener counters from
check_config_validity() all at once. But it isn't correct, since at that
time listeners's guid are not inserted yet, thus
counters_fe_shared_prepare() cannot work correctly, and so does
shm_stats_file_preload() which is meant to be called even earlier.
Thus in this commit (and to prepare for upcoming shm shared counters
preloading patches), we handle the shared listener counters prep in
proxy_postcheck(), which means that between the allocation and the
prep there is the proper window for listener's guid insertion and shm
counters preloading.
No change of behavior expected when shm shared counters are not
actually used.
We actually need more granularity to split srv postparsing init tasks:
Some of them are required to be run BEFORE the config is checked, and
some of them AFTER the config is checked.
Thus we push the logic from 368d0136 ("MEDIUM: server: add and use
srv_init() function") a little bit further and split the function
in two distinct ones, one of them executed under check_config_validity()
and the other one using REGISTER_POST_SERVER_CHECK() hook.
SRV_F_CHECKED flag was removed because it is no longer needed,
srv_preinit() is only called once, and so is srv_postinit().
Since 368d01361 (" MEDIUM: server: add and use srv_init() function"), in
case of srv_init() error, we simply increment cfgerr variable and keep
going.
It isn't enough, some treatment occuring later in check_config_validity()
assume that srv_init() succeeded for servers, and may cause undefined
behavior. To fix the issue, let's consider that if (srv_init() & ERR_CODE)
returns true, then we must stop checking the config immediately.
No backport needed unless 368d01361 is.
Between 3.2 and 3.3-dev we noticed a noticeable performance regression
due to stats handling. After bisecting, Willy found out that recent
work to split stats computing accross multiple thread groups (stats
sharding) was responsible for that performance regression. We're looking
at roughly 20% performance loss.
More precisely, it is the added indirections, multiplied by the number
of statistics that are updated for each request, which in the end causes
a significant amount of time being spent resolving pointers.
We noticed that the fe_counters_shared and be_counters_shared structures
which are currently allocated in dedicated memory since a0dcab5c
("MAJOR: counters: add shared counters base infrastructure")
are no longer huge since 16eb0fab31 ("MAJOR: counters: dispatch counters
over thread groups") because they now essentially hold flags plus the
per-thread group id pointer mapping, not the counters themselves.
As such we decided to try merging fe_counters_shared and
be_counters_shared in their parent structures. The cost is slight memory
overhead for the parent structure, but it allows to get rid of one
pointer indirection. This patch alone yields visible performance gains
and almost restores 3.2 stats performance.
counters_fe_shared_get() was renamed to counters_fe_shared_prepare() and
now returns either failure or success instead of a pointer because we
don't need to retrieve a shared pointer anymore, the function takes care
of initializing existing pointer.
Add postparsing checks to control server line conformity regarding QUIC
both on the server address and the MUX protocol. An error is reported in
the following case :
* proto quic is explicitely specified but server address does not
specify quic4/quic6 prefix
* another proto is explicitely specified but server address uses
quic4/quic6 prefix
There was already a check for this but there used to be an exception
that allowed duplicate server names only in case where their IDs were
explicit and different. This has been emitting a warning since 3.1 and
planned for removal in 3.3, so let's do it now. The doc was updated,
though it never mentioned this unicity constraint, so that was added.
Only the check for the exception was removed, the rest of the code
that is currently made to deal with duplicate server names was not
cleaned yet (e.g. the tree doesn't need to support dups anymore, and
this could be done at insertion time). This may be a subject for future
cleanups.
Force QUIC as <mux_proto> for server if a QUIC address is used. This is
similarly to what is already done for bind instances on the frontend
side. This step ensures that conn_create_mux() will select the proper
protocol.
This XPRT callback is called from check_config_validity() after the configuration
has been parsed to initialize all the SSL server contexts.
This patch implements the same thing for the QUIC servers.
If an empty argument is used in configuration, for example due to an
undefined environment variable, the rest of the line is not parsed. As
such, a warning is emitted to report this.
The warning was not totally correct as it reported the wrong argument
index. Fix this by this patch. Note that there is still an issue with
the "^" indicator, but this is not as easy to fix yet.
This is related to github issue #2995.
This should be backported up to 3.2.
Hide warning about empty argument outside of discovery mode. This is
necessary, else the message will be displayed twice, which hampers
haproxy output lisibility.
This should fix github isue #2995.
This should be backported up to 3.2.
proxies, listeners and server shared counters are now managed via helpers
added in one of the previous commits.
When guid is not set (ie: when not yet assigned), shared counters pointer
is allocated using calloc() (local memory) and a flag is set on the shared
counters struct to know how to manipulate (and free it). Else if guid is
set, then it means that the counters may be shared so while for now we
don't actually use a shared memory location the API is ready for that.
The way it works, for proxies and servers (for which guid is not known
during creation), we first call counters_{fe,be}_shared_get with guid not
set, which results in local pointer being retrieved (as if we just
manually called calloc() to retrieve a pointer). Later (during postparsing)
if guid is set we try to upgrade the pointer from local to shared.
Lastly, since the memory location for some objects (proxies and servers
counters) may change from creation to postparsing, let's update
counters->last_change member directly under counters_{fe,be}_shared_get()
so we don't miss it.
No change of behavior is expected, this is only preparation work.
Shareable counters are not tagged as shared counters and are dynamically
allocated in separate memory area as a prerequisite for being stored
in shared memory area. For now, GUID and threads groups are not taken into
account, this is only a first step.
also we ensure all counters are now manipulated using atomic operations,
namely, "last_change" counter is now read from and written to using atomic
ops.
Despite the numerous changes caused by the counters being moved away from
counters struct, no change of behavior should be expected.
rename _srv_postparse() internal function to srv_init() function and group
srv_init_per_thr() plus idle conns list init inside it. This way we can
perform some simplifications as srv_init() performs multiple server
init steps after parsing.
SRV_F_CHECKED flag was added, it is automatically set when srv_init()
runs successfully. If the flag is already set and srv_init() is called
again, nothing is done. This permis to manually call srv_init() earlier
than the default POST_CHECK hook when needed without risking to do things
twice.
OSS Fuzz found that the previous fix ebb19fb367 ("BUG/MINOR: cfgparse:
consider the special case of empty arg caused by \x00") was incomplete,
as the output can sometimes be larger than the input (due to variables
expansion) in which case the work around to try to report a bad arg will
fail. While the parse_line() function has been made more robust now in
order to avoid this condition, let's fix the handling of this special
case anyway by just pointing to the beginning of the line if the supposed
error location is out of the line's buffer.
All details here:
https://oss-fuzz.com/testcase-detail/5202563081502720
No backport is needed unless the fix above is backported.
The reporting of the empty arg location added with commit 08d3caf30
("MINOR: cfgparse: visually show the input line on empty args") falls
victim of a special case detected by OSS Fuzz:
https://issues.oss-fuzz.com/issues/415850462
In short, making an argument start with "\x00" doesn't make it empty for
the parser, but still emits an empty string which is detected and
displayed. Unfortunately in this case the error pointer is not set so
the sanitization function crashes.
What we're doing in this case is that we fall back to the position of
the output argument as an estimate of where it was located in the input.
It's clearly inexact (quoting etc) but will still help the user locate
the problem.
No backport is needed unless the commit above is backported.
Now when an empty arg is found on a line, we emit the sanitized
input line and the position of the first empty arg so as to help
the user figure the cause (likely an empty environment variable).

For historical reasons, the config parser relies on the trailing '\0'
to detect the end of the line being parsed. When the lines started to be
tokenized into arguments, this principle has been preserved, and now all
the parsers rely on *args[arg]='\0' to detect the end of a line. But as
reported in issue #2944, while most of the time it breaks the parsing
like below:
http-request deny if { path_dir '' }
it can also cause some elements to be silently ignored like below:
acl bad_path path_sub '%2E' '' '%2F'
This may also subtly happen with environment variables that don't exist
or which are empty:
acl bad_path path_sub '%2E' "$BAD_PATTERN" '%2F'
Fortunately, parse_line() returns the number of arguments found, so it's
easy from the callers to verify if any was empty. The goal of this commit
is not to perform sensitive changes, it's only to mention when parsing a
line that an empty argument was found and alert about its consequences
using a warning. Most of the time when this happens, the config does not
parse. But for examples as the ACLs above, there could be consequences
that are better detected early.
This patch depends on this previous fix:
BUG/MINOR: tools: do not create an empty arg from trailing spaces
Co-authored-by: Valentine Krasnobaeva <vkrasnobaeva@haproxy.com>
In check_config_validity(), we initialize the proxy in several stages.
We do so for the sink list for stage1, but not for stage2. It may not be
needed right now, but it may become needed in the future, so do it
anyway.
Move the call to initialize the proxy's per-thread structure earlier
than currently done, so that they are usable when we're initializing the
load balancers.
Move the code responsible for calling per-thread server initialization
earlier than it was done, so that per-thread structures are available a
bit later, when we initialize load-balancing.
In this patch we try to use the proxy API init functions as much as
possible to avoid code redundancy and prevent proxy initialization
errors. As such, we prefer using alloc_new_proxy() and setup_new_proxy()
instead of manually allocating the proxy pointer and performing the
base init ourselves.
When first pre-parsing the config to detect the presence or absence of
the master mode, we must not emit messages because they are not supposed
to be visible at this point, otherwise they appear twice each. The
pre-parsing, also called discovery mode, is only for internal use,
thus it should remain silent.
This should be backported to 3.1 where this mode was introduced.
For now the function refrains from detecting the CPU topology when a
restrictive taskset or cpu-map was already performed on the process,
and it's documented as such, the reason being that until we're able
to automatically create groups, better not change user settings. But
we'll need to be able to detect bound CPUs and to process them as
desired by the user, so we now need to move that detection into the
function itself. It changes nothing to the logic, just gives more
freedom to the function.
The function is not convenient because it doesn't allow us to undo the
startup changes, and depending on where it's being used, we don't know
whether the values read have already been altered (this is not the case
right now but it's going to evolve).
Let's just compute the status during cpu_detect_usable() and set a
variable accordingly. This way we'll always read the init value, and
if needed we can even afford to reset it. Also, placing it in cpu_topo.c
limits cross-file dependencies (e.g. threads without affinity etc).
The cpuset files are normally used only for cpu manipulations. It happens
that the initial CPU binding detection was initially placed there since
there was no better place, but in practice, being OS-specific, it should
really be in cpu-topo. This simplifies cpuset which doesn't need to know
about the OS anymore.
Invalid (incomplete) "server" or "peer" lines under peers section are now
properly ignored. For completeness, in this patch we add some reports so
that the user knows that incomplete lines were ignored.
For an incomplete server line, since it is tolerated (see GH #565), we
only emit a diag warning.
For an incomplete peer line, we report a real warning, as it is not
expected to have a peer line without an address:port specified.
Also, 'newpeer == curpeers->local' check could be simplified since
we already have the 'local_peer' variable which tells us that the
parsed line refers to a local peer.
In 8ba10fea6 ("BUG/MINOR: peers: Incomplete peers sections should be
validated."), some checks were relaxed in parse_server(), and extra logic
was added in the peers section parser in an attempt to properly ignore
incomplete "server" or "peer" statement under peers section.
This was done in response to GH #565, the main intent was that haproxy
should already complain about incomplete peers section (ie: missing
localpeer).
However, 8ba10fea69 explicitly skipped the peer cleanup upon missing
srv association for local peers. This is wrong because later haproxy
code always assumes that peer->srv is valid. Indeed, we got reports
that the (invalid) config below would cause segmentation fault on
all stable versions:
global
localpeer 01JM0TEPAREK01FQQ439DDZXD8
peers my-table
peer 01JM0TEPAREK01FQQ439DDZXD8
listen dummy
bind localhost:8080
To fix the issue, instead of by-passing some cleanup for the local
peer, handle this case specifically by doing the regular peer cleanup
and reset some fields set on the curpeers and curpeers proxy because
of the invalid local peer (do as if the peer was not declared).
It should still comply with requirements from #565.
This patch should be backported to all stable versions.
In the "peers" section parser, right after parse_server() is called, we
used to check whether the curpeers->peers_fe->srv pointer was set or not
to know if parse_server() successfuly added a server to the peers proxy,
server that we can then associate to the new peer.
However the check is wrong, as curpeers->peers_fe->srv points to the
last added server, if a server was successfully added before the
failing one, we cannot detect that the last parse_server() didn't
add a server. This is known to cause bug with bad "peer"/"server"
statements.
To fix the issue, we save a pointer on the last known
curpeers->peers_fe->srv before parse_server() is called, and we then
compare the save with the pointer after parse_server(), if the value
didn't change, then parse_server() didn't add a server. This makes
the check consistent in all situations.
It should be backported to all stable versions.
In check_config_validity() we evaluate some sample fetch expressions
(log-format, server rules, etc). These expressions may use external files like
maps.
If some particular 'default-path' was set in the global section before, it's no
longer applied to resolve file pathes in check_config_validity(). parse_cfg()
at the end of config parsing switches back to the initial cwd.
This fixes the issue #2886.
This patch should be backported in all stable versions since 2.4.0, including
2.4.0.
When "peers" keyword is followed by more than one argument and it's the first
"peers" section in the config, cfg_parse_peers() detects it and exits with
"ERR_ALERT|ERR_FATAL" err_code.
So, upper layer parser, parse_cfg(), continues and parses the next keyword
"peer" and then he tries to check the global cfg_peers, which should contain
"my_cluster". The global cfg_peers is still NULL, because after alerting a user
in alertif_too_many_args, cfg_parse_peers() exited.
peers my_cluster __some_wrong_data__
peer haproxy1 1.1.1.1 1000
In order to fix this, let's add ERR_ABORT, if "peers" keyword is followed by
more than one argument. Like this parse_cfg() will stops immediately and
terminates haproxy with "too many args for peers my_cluster..." alert message.
It's more reliable, than add checks "if (cfg_peers !=NULL)" in "peer"
subparser, as we may have many "peers" sections.
peers my_another_cluster
peer haproxy1 1.1.1.2 1000
peers my_cluster __some_wrong_data__
peer haproxy1 1.1.1.1 1000
In addition, for the example above, parse_cfg() will parse all configuration
until the end and only then terminates haproxy with the alert
"too many args...". Peer haproxy1 will be wrongly associated with
my_another_cluster.
This fixes the issue #2872.
This should be backported in all stable versions.
Since we are now iterating on post_section_parser() for a same keyword,
we need to exit at the first ERR_ABORT.
The post_section_parser() is called when parsing a new section, but also
at the end of the file to be called for the last section.
The changes in 4de86bb ("MEDIUM: initcall: allow to register mutiple
post_section_parser per section") should have added tests on the
ERR_ABORT value.
Also pcs->post_section_parser() must be called instead of
cs->post_section_parser() because we could have a NULL ptr.
This bug does not affect anything since we don't use
REGISTER_CONFIG_POST_SECTION() yet.
Before this patch, REGISTER_CONFIG_SECTION() allowed to register one and only
one callback (<post>) called after the parsing of a section.
It was limitating because you couldn't register a post callback from anywhere
else in the code.
This patch introduces the new REGISTER_CONFIG_SECTION_POST() macros which allows
to register a new post callback for a section keyword from anywhere.
This patch introduces the feature by allowing `struct cfg_section` entries that
does not have a `section_parser`, and then iterating on all cfg_section with a
post_section_parser for a keyword.
Previous patch 2c270a05f ("BUG/MINOR: mworker: section ignored in
discovery after a post_section_parser") needs an adjustment for the last
section of the file.
Indeed the post_section_parser of the last section must not be called in
discovery mode.
Must be backported in 3.1.
