This macro is build-time dependent and is almost unused, yet where it
cannot easily be avoided. Now that we store the distinction between
pool->size and pool->alloc_sz, we don't need to maintain it and we
can instead compute it on the fly when creating a pool. This is what
this patch does. The variables are for now pretty static, but this is
sufficient to kill the macro and will allow to set them more dynamically.
The allocated size is the visible size plus the extra storage. Since
for now we can store up to two extra elements (mark and tracer), it's
convenient because now we know that the mark is always stored at
->size, and the tracer is always before ->alloc_sz.
Like previous patches, this replaces the build-time code paths that were
conditionned by CONFIG_HAP_POOLS with runtime paths conditionned by
!POOL_DBG_NO_CACHE. One trivial test had to be added in the hot path in
__pool_alloc() to refrain from calling pool_get_from_cache(), and another
one in __pool_free() to avoid calling pool_put_to_cache().
All cache-specific functions were instrumented with a BUG_ON() to make
sure we never call them with cache disabled. Additionally the cache[]
array was not initialized (remains NULL) so that we can later drop it
if not needed. It's particularly huge and should be turned to dynamic
with a pointer to a per-thread area where all the objects are located.
This will solve the memory usage issue and will improve locality, or
even help better deal with NUMA machines once each thread uses its own
arena.
There were very few functions left that were specific to global pools,
and even the checks they used to participate to are not directly on the
most critical path so they can suffer an extra "if".
What's done now is that pool_releasable() always returns 0 when global
pools are disabled (like the one before) so that pool_evict_last_items()
never tries to place evicted objects there. As such there will never be
any object in the free list. However pool_refill_local_from_shared() is
bypassed when global pools are disabled so that we even avoid the atomic
loads from this function.
The default global setting is still adjusted based on the original
CONFIG_NO_GLOBAL_POOLS that is set depending on threads and the allocator.
The global executable only grew by 1.1kB by keeping this code enabled,
and the code is simplified and will later support runtime options.
The test to decide whether or not to enforce integrity checks on cached
objects is now enabled at runtime and conditionned by this new debugging
flag. While previously it was not a concern to inflate the code size by
keeping the two functions static, they were moved to pool.c to limit the
impact. In pool_get_from_cache(), the fast code path remains fast by
having both flags tested at once to open a slower branch when either
POOL_DBG_COLD_FIRST or POOL_DBG_INTEGRITY are set.
When enabling pools integrity checks, we usually prefer to allocate cold
objects first in order to maximize the time the objects spend in the
cache. In order to make this configurable at runtime, let's introduce
a new debugging flag to control this allocation order. It is currently
preset by the DEBUG_POOL_INTEGRITY build-time setting.
This test used to appear at a single location in create_pool() to
enable a check on the pool name or unconditionally merge similarly
sized pools.
This patch introduces POOL_DBG_DONT_MERGE and conditions the test on
this new runtime flag, that is preset according to the aforementioned
debugging option.
The fail-alloc test used to be enabled/disabled at build time using
the DEBUG_FAIL_ALLOC macro, but it happens that the cost of the test
is quite cheap and that it can be enabled as one of the pool_debugging
options.
This patch thus introduces the first POOL_DBG_FAIL_ALLOC option, whose
default value depends on DEBUG_FAIL_ALLOC. The mem_should_fail() function
is now always built, but it was made static since it's never used outside.
This read-mostly variable will be used at runtime to enable/disable
certain pool-debugging features and will be set by the command-line
parser. A future option -dP will take a number of debugging features
as arguments to configure this variable's contents.
The poisonning performed on pool_free() used to help a little bit with
use-after-free detection, but usually did more harm than good in that
it was never possible to perform post-mortem analysis on released
objects once poisonning was enabled on allocation. Now that there is
a dedicated DEBUG_POOL_INTEGRITY, let's get rid of this annoyance
which is not even documented in the management manual.
There's no point keeping the vars_init_head() call in init() when we
already have a vars_init() registered at the right time to do that,
and it complexifies the boot sequence, so let's move it there.
Let's not use a trash there anymore. The function is called at very
early boot (for "haproxy -vv"), and the need for a trash prevents the
arguments from being parsed earlier. Moreover, the function only uses
a FILE* on output with fprintf(), so there's not even any benefit in
using chunk_printf() on an intermediary variable, emitting the output
directly is both clearer and safer.
REGISTER is meant to only assemble static lists, not to initialize
code that may depend on some elements possibly initialized at this
level. For example the init code currently looks up transport protocols
such as XPRT_RAW and XPRT_SSL which ought to be themselves registered
from at REGISTER stage, and which currently work only because they're
still registered directly from a constructor. INIT is perfectly suited
for this level.
Add the ability to set a "server timeout" on the httpclient with either
the httpclient_set_timeout() API or the timeout argument in a request.
Issue #1470.
In process_stream(), we force the response buffer allocation before any
processing to be able to return an error message. It is important because,
when an error is triggered, the stream is immediately closed. Thus we cannot
wait for the response buffer allocation.
When the allocation fails, the stream analysis is stopped and the expiration
date of the stream's task is updated before exiting process_stream(). But if
the stream was woken up because of a connection or an analysis timeout, the
expiration date remains blocked in the past. This means the stream is woken
up in loop as long as the response buffer is not properly allocated.
Alone, this behavior is already a bug. But because the mechanism to handle
buffer allocation failures is totally broken since a while, this bug becomes
more problematic. Because, most of time, the watchdog will kill HAProxy in
this case because it will detect a spinning loop.
To fix it, at least temporarily, an allocation failure at this stage is now
reported as an error and the processing is aborted. It's not satisfying but
it is better than nothing. If the buffers allocation mechanism is
refactored, this part will be reviewed.
This patch must be backported, probably as far as 2.0. It may be perceived
as a regression, but the actual behavior is probably even worse. And
because it was not reported, it is probably not a common situation.
The mem_poison_byte, mem_fail_rate, using_default_allocator and the
pools list are all only set once at boot time and never changed later,
while they're heavily used at run time. Let's optimize their usage from
all threads by marking them read-mostly so that them reside in a shared
cache line.
The recent changes was not complete.

MINOR: quic: do not modify offset node if quic_rx_strm_frm in tree
The frame length and data pointer should incremented after the data
copy. A BUG_ON statement has been added to detect an incorrect decrement
operaiton.
Some variables were only checked via BUG_ON macro. If compiling without
DEBUG_STRICT, this instruction is a noop. Fix this by using an explicit
condition + ABORT_NOW.
This should fix the github issue #1549.
qc_rx_strm_frm_cpy is unsafe because it updates the offset field of the
frame. This is not safe as the frame is inserted in the tree when
calling this function and offset serves as the key node.
To fix this, the API is modified so that qc_rx_strm_frm_cpy does not
update the frame parameter. The caller is responsible to update
offset/length in case of a partial copy.
The impact of this bug is not known. It can only happened with received
STREAM frames out-of-order. This might be triggered with large h3 POST
requests.
In si_cs_recv(), the mux must never set CS_FL_WANT_ROOM flag on the
conn-stream if the input buffer is empty and nothing was copied. It is
important because, there is nothing the app layer can do in this case to
make some room. If this happens, this will most probably lead to a ping-pong
loop between the mux and the stream.
With this BUG_ON(), it will be easier to spot such bugs.
If a parsing error is detected and the corresponding HTX flag is set
(HTX_FL_PARSING_ERROR), we must be sure to always report it to the app
layer. It is especially important when the error occurs during the response
parsing, on the server side. In this case, the RX buffer contains an empty
HTX message to carry the flag. And it remains in this state till the info is
reported to the app layer. This must be done otherwise, on the conn-stream,
the CS_FL_ERR_PENDING flag cannot be switched to CS_FL_ERROR and the
CS_FL_WANT_ROOM flag is always set when h2_rcv_buf() is called. The result
is a ping-pong loop between the mux and the stream.
Note that this patch fixes a bug. But it also reveals a design issue. The
error must not be reported at the HTX level. The error is already carried by
the conn-stream. There is no reason to duplicate it. In addition, it is
errorprone to have an empty HTX message only to report the error to the app
layer.
This patch should fix the issue #1561. It must be backported as far as 2.0
but the bug only affects HAProxy >= 2.4.
After sending some data, we try to wake the H1 stream to resume data
processing at the stream level, except if the output buffer is still
full. However we must also be sure the mux is not blocked because of an
allocation failure on this buffer. Otherwise, it may lead to a ping-pong
loop between the stream and the mux to send more data with an unallocated
output buffer.
Note there is a mechanism to queue buffers allocations when a failure
happens. However this mechanism is totally broken since the filters were
introducted in HAProxy 1.7. And it is worse now with the multiplexers. So
this patch fixes a possible loop needlessly consuming all the CPU. But
buffer allocation failures must remain pretty rare.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
The qcc instance should be tested as it is implied by a previous test
that it may be NULL. In this case, qc_timeout_task can be stopped.
This should fix github issue #1559.
A bug was uncovered by commit fc5912914 ("MINOR: httpclient: Don't limit
data transfer to 1024 bytes"), it happens that callers of b_xfer() and
b_force_xfer() are expected to check for available room in the target
buffer. Previously it was unlikely to be full but now with full buffer-
sized transfers, it happens more often and in practice it is possible
to crash the process with the debug command "httpclient" on the CLI by
going beyond a the max buffer size. Other call places ought to be
rechecked by now and it might be time to rethink this API if it tends
to generalize.
This must be backported to 2.5.
The url2sa implementation is inconsitent when parsing an IPv4, indeed
url2sa() takes a <ulen> as a parameter where the call to url2ipv4() takes
a null terminated string. Which means url2ipv4 could try to read more
that it is supposed to.
This function is only used from a buffer so it never reach a unallocated
space. It can only cause an issue when used from the httpclient which
uses it with an ist.
This patch fixes the issue by copying everything in the trash and
null-terminated it.
Must be backported in all supported version.
When calling ssl_ocsp_response_print which is used to display an OCSP
response's details when calling the "show ssl ocsp-response" on the CLI,
we use the BIO_read function that copies an OpenSSL BIO into a trash.
The return value was not checked though, which could lead to some
crashes since BIO_read can return a negative value in case of error.
This patch should be backported to 2.5.
When calling the "show ssl ocsp-response" CLI command some OpenSSL
objects need to be created in order to get some information related to
the OCSP response and some of them were not freed.
It should be backported to 2.5.
The b_istput function called to append the last data block to the end of
an OCSP response's detailed output was not checked in
ssl_ocsp_response_print. The ssl_ocsp_response_print return value checks
were added as well since some of them were missing.
This error was raised by Coverity (CID 1469513).
This patch fixes GitHub issue #1541.
It can be backported to 2.5.
The 'dst' optionnal field on a httpclient request can be used to set an
alternative server address in the haproxy address format. Which means it
could be use with unix@, ipv6@ etc.
Should fix issue #1471.
When starting for the 2nd time a request from the same httpclient *hc
context, the flags are not reinitialized and the httpclient will stop
after the first call to the IO handler, because the END flag is always
present.
This patch also add a test before httpclient_start() to ensure we don't
start a client already started.
Must be backported in 2.5.
The idle connection delay calculation before a request is a bit tricky,
especially for multiplexed protocols. It changed between 2.3 and 2.4 by
the integration of the idle delay inside the session itself with these
commits:
dd78921c6 ("MINOR: logs: Use session idle duration when no stream is provided")
7a6c51324 ("MINOR: stream: Always get idle duration from the session")
and by then it was only set by the H1 mux. But over multiple changes, what
used to be a zero idle delay + a request delay for H2 became a bit odd, with
the idle time slipping into the request time measurement. The effect is that,
as reported in GH issue #1395, some H2 request times look huge.
This patch introduces the calculation of the session's idle time on the
H2 mux before creating the stream. This is made possible because the
stream_new() code immediately copies this value into the stream for use
at log time. Thus we don't care about changing something that will be
touched by every single request. The idle time is calculated as documented,
i.e. the delay from the previous request to the current one. This also
means that when a single stream is present on a connection, a part of
the server's response time may appear in the %Ti measurement, but this
reflects the reality since nothing would prevent the client from using
the connection to fetch more objects. In addition this shows how long
it takes a client to find references to objects in an HTML page and
start to fetch them.
A different approach could have consisted in counting from the last time
the connection was left without any request (i.e. really idle), but this
would at least require a documentation change and it's not certain this
would provide a more useful information.
Thanks to Bart Butler and Luke Seelenbinder for reporting enough elements
to diagnose this issue.
This should be backported to 2.4.
Sadly, despite particular care, commit 39a0a1e12 ("MEDIUM: h2/hpack: emit
a Dynamic Table Size Update after settings change") broke H2 when sending
DTSU. A missing negation on the flag caused the DTSU_EMITTED flag to be
lost and the DTSU to be sent again on the next stream, and possibly to
break flow control or a few other internal states.
This will have to be backported wherever the patch above was backported.
Thanks to Yves Lafon for notifying us with elements to reproduce the
issue!
There's a bug in spoe_release_appctx() which checks the presence of items
in the wrong list rt[tid].agents to run over rt[tid].waiting_queue and
zero their spoe_appctx. The effect is that these contexts are not zeroed
and if spoe_stop_processing() is called, "sa->cur_fpa--" will be applied
to one of these recently freed contexts and will corrupt random memory
locations, as found at least in bugs #1494 and #1525.
This must be backported to all stable versions.
Many thanks to Christian Ruppert from Babiel for exchanging so many
useful traces over the last two months, testing debugging code and
helping set up a similar environment to reproduce it!
Ensure calls to http_find_header() terminate. If a "Set-Cookie2"
header is found then the while(1) loop in
http_manage_server_side_cookies() will never terminate, resulting in
the watchdog firing and the process terminating via SIGABRT.
The while(1) loop becomes unbounded because an unmatched call to
http_find_header("Set-Cookie") will leave ctx->blk=NULL. Subsequent
calls to check for "Set-Cookie2" will now enumerate from the beginning
of all the blocks and will once again match on subsequent
passes (assuming a match first time around), hence the loop becoming
unbounded.
This issue was introduced with HTX and this fix should be backported
to all versions supporting HTX.
Many thanks to Grant Spence (gspence@redhat.com) for working through
this issue with me.
ist are not ended by '\0', leading to junk characters being displayed
when using %s for printing the HTTP start line.
Fix the issue by replacing %s by %.*s + istlen.
Must be backported in 2.5.
If the same filename was specified in multiple calls of the jwt_verify
converter, we would have parsed the contents of the file every time it
was used instead of checking if the entry already existed in the tree.
This lead to memory leaks because we would not insert the duplicated
entry and we would not free it (as well as the EVP_PKEY it referenced).
We now check the return value of ebst_insert and free the current entry
if it is a duplicate of an existing entry.
The order in which the tree insert and the pkey parsing happen was also
switched in order to avoid parsing key files in case of duplicates.
Should be backported to 2.5.
When emptying the jwt_cert_tree during deinit, the entries are freed but
not the EVP_PKEY reference they kept, leading in a memory leak.
Should be backported in 2.5.
The node pointer was not moving properly along the jwt_cert_tree during
the deinit which ended in a double free during cleanup (or when checking
a configuration that used the jwt_verify converter with an explicit
certificate specified).
This patch fixes GitHub issue #1533.
It should be backported to 2.5.
Inspect return code of HEADERS/DATA parsing functions and use a BUG_ON
to signal an error. The stream should be closed to handle the error
in a more clean fashion.
