This is very useful in complex architecture systems where HAproxy
is balancing DB connections for example. We want to keep the maxconn
high in order to avoid issues with queueing on the LB level when
there is slowness on another part of the system. Example is a case of
an architecture where each thread opens multiple DB connections, which
if get stuck in queue cause a snowball effect (old connections aren't
closed, new ones cannot be established). These connections are mostly
idle and the DB server has no problem handling thousands of them.
Allowing us to dynamically set maxconn depending on the backend usage
(LA, CPU, memory, etc.) enables us to have high maxconn for situations
like above, but lowering it in case there are real issues where the
backend servers become overloaded (cache issues, DB gets hit hard).
David Torgerson faced an issue when using HTTP fields in log-format in TCP
sections. The txn is dereferenced while it's null, resulting in a crash of
the process. Such configurations are invalid and a warning is emitted, but
nevertheless the process must not crash. As found by Lukas Tribus, this is
a side effect of the split between the stream and the HTTP transaction that
happened in 1.6, making it possible to have txn==NULL there.
The fix consists in checking that txn is valid before using it. Fortunately
it's easy since almost all places already used to check for the existence
of a field (eg: txn->uri).
This patch should be backported to 1.6.
A problem was reported recently by some users of programs compiled
with Go 1.5 which by default blocks all signals before executing
processes, resulting in haproxy not receiving SIGUSR1 or even SIGTERM,
causing lots of zombie processes.
This problem was apparently observed by users of consul and kubernetes
(at least).
This patch is a workaround for this issue. It consists in unblocking
all signals on startup. Since they're normally not blocked in a regular
shell, it ensures haproxy always starts under the same conditions.
Quite useful information reported by both Matti Savolainen and REN
Xiaolei actually helped find the root cause of this problem and this
workaround. Thanks to them for this.
This patch must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5 where the problem is
observed.
commit 7c0ffd23 is only considering the explicit use of the "process" keyword
on the listeners. But at this step, if it's not defined in the configuration,
the listener bind_proc mask is set to 0. As a result, the code will compute
the maxaccept value based on only 1 process, which is not always true.
For example :
global
nbproc 4
frontend test
bind-process 1-2
bind :80
Here, the maxaccept value for the "test" frontend was set to the global
tune.maxaccept value (default to 64), whereas it should consider 2 processes
will accept connections. As of the documentation, the value should be divided
by twice the number of processes the listener is bound to.
To fix this, we can consider that if no mask is set to the listener, we take
the frontend mask.
This is not critical but it can introduce unfairness distribution of the
incoming connections across the processes.
It should be backported to the same branches as commit 7c0ffd23 (1.6 and 1.5
were in the scope).
When a listener is not bound to a process its frontend belongs to, it
is only paused and not stopped. This creates confusion from the outside
as "netstat -ltnp" for example will report only the parent process as
the listener instead of the effective one. "ss -lnp" will report that
all processes are listening to all sockets.
This is confusing enough to suggest a fix. Now we simply stop the unused
listeners. Example with this simple config :
global
nbproc 4
frontend haproxy_test
bind-process 1-40
bind :12345 process 1
bind :12345 process 2
bind :12345 process 3
bind :12345 process 4

$ netstat -ltnp

This patch may be backported to 1.6 and 1.5, but it relies on commit
7a798e5 ("CLEANUP: fix inconsistency between fd->iocb, proto->accept
and accept()") since it will expose an API inconsistency by including
listener.h in the .c.
Christian Ruppert reported a performance degradation when binding a
single frontend to many processes while only one bind line was being
used, bound to a single process.
The reason comes from the fact that whenever a listener is bound to
multiple processes, the it is assigned a maxaccept value which equals
half the global maxaccept value divided by the number of processes the
frontend is bound to. The purpose is to ensure that no single process
will drain all the incoming requests at once and ensure a fair share
between all listeners. Usually this works pretty well, when a listener
is bound to all the processes of its frontend. But here we're in a
situation where the maxaccept of a listener which is bound to a single
process is still divided by a large value.
The fix consists in taking into account the number of processes the
listener is bound do and not only those of the frontend. This way it
is perfectly possible to benefit from nbproc and SO_REUSEPORT without
performance degradation.
1.6 and 1.5 normally suffer from the same issue.
There's quite some inconsistency in the internal API. listener_accept()
which is the main accept() function returns void but is declared as int
in the include file. It's assigned to proto->accept() for all stream
protocols where an int is expected but the result is never checked (nor
is it documented by the way). This proto->accept() is in turn assigned
to fd->iocb() which is supposed to return an int composed of FD_WAIT_*
flags, but which is never checked either.
So let's fix all this mess :
- nobody checks accept()'s return
- nobody checks iocb()'s return
- nobody sets a return value
=> let's mark all these functions void and keep the current ones intact.
Additionally we now include listener.h from listener.c to ensure we won't
silently hide this incoherency in the future.
Note that this patch could/should be backported to 1.6 and even 1.5 to
simplify debugging sessions.
parse_binary line 2025 checks the nullity of binstr parameter.
Other calls of parse_binary properly zeroify this parameter.

dns_option struct pref_net field is an array of 5. The issue
here shows that pref_net_nb can go up to 5 as well which might lead
to read outside of this array.
Depending on the path that led to sess_update_stream_int(), it's
possible that we had a read error on the frontend, but that we haven't
checked if we may abort the connection.
This was seen in particular the following setup: tcp mode, with
abortonclose set, frontend using ssl. If the ssl connection had a first
successful read, but the second read failed, we would stil try to open a
connection to the backend, although we had enough information to close
the connection early.
sess_update_stream_int() had some logic to handle that case in the
SI_ST_QUE and SI_ST_TAR, but that was missing in the SI_ST_ASS case.
This patches addresses the issue by verifying the state of the req
channel (and the abortonclose option) right before opening the
connection to the backend, so we have the opportunity to close the
connection there, and factorizes the shared SI_ST_{QUE,TAR,ASS} code.
Emeric found that some certificate files that were valid with the old method
(the one with the explicit name involving SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file()) do
not work anymore with the new one (the one trying to load multiple cert types
using PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey()). With the last one, the private key couldn't
be loaded.
The difference was related to the ordering in the PEM file was different. The
old method would always work. The new method only works if the private key is
at the top, or if it appears as an "EC" private key. The cause in fact is that
we never rewind the BIO between the various calls. So this patch moves the
loading of the private key as the first step, then it rewinds the BIO, and
then it loads the cert and the chain. With this everything works.
No backport is needed, this issue came with the recent addition of the
multi-cert support.
The following patch allow to log cookie for tarpit and denied request.
This minor bug affect at least 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 branch.
The solution is not perfect : may be the cookie processing

Instead of repeating the type of the LHS argument (sizeof(struct ...))
in calls to malloc/calloc, we directly use the pointer

When the LHS is not just a variable name, no change is made. Moreover,
the following patch was used to ensure that "1" is consistently used as

In C89, "void *" is automatically promoted to any pointer type. Casting
the result of malloc/calloc to the type of the LHS variable is therefore
unneeded.
Most of this patch was built using this Coccinelle patch:

Unfortunately, either Coccinelle or I is too limited to detect situation
where a complex RHS expression is of type "void *" and therefore casting
is not needed. Those cases were manually examined and corrected.
There are two issues with error captures. The first one is that the
capture size is still hard-coded to BUFSIZE regardless of any possible
tune.bufsize setting and of the fact that frontends only capture request
errors and that backends only capture response errors. The second is that
captures are allocated in both directions for all proxies, which start to
count a lot in configs using thousands of proxies.
This patch changes this so that error captures are allocated only when
needed, and of the proper size. It also refrains from dumping a buffer
that was not allocated, which still allows to emit all relevant info
such as flags and HTTP states. This way it is possible to save up to
32 kB of RAM per proxy in the default configuration.
The sc_* sample fetch can work without the struct strm, because the
tracked counters are also stored in the session. So, this patchs
removes the check for the strm existance.

This patch adds a sample fetch which returns the unique-id if it is
configured. If the unique-id is not yet generated, it build it. If
the unique-id is not configured, it returns none.
Some internal HAproxy error message are provided with a final '\n'.
Its typically for the integration in the CLI. Sometimes, these messages
are returned as Lua string. These string must be without "\n" or final
spaces.
This patch adds a function whoch removes unrequired parameters.
This patch adds a Lua post initialisation wrapper. It already exists for
pure Lua function, now it executes also C. It is useful for doing things
when the configuration is ready to use. For example we can can browse and
register all the proxies.
All the HAProxy Lua object are declared with the same pattern:
- Add the function __tosting which dumps the object name
- Register the name in the Lua REGISTRY
- Register the reference ID
These action are refactored in on function. This remove some
lines of code.
The modified function are declared in the safe environment, so
they must called from safe environement. As the environement is
safe, its useles to check the stack size.
The functions
- hlua_class_const_int()
- hlua_class_const_str()
- hlua_class_function()
are use for common class registration actions.
The function 'hlua_dump_object()' is generic dump name function.
These functions can be used by all the HAProxy objects, so I move
it into the safe functions file.
Similar issue was fixed in 67dad27, but the fix is incomplete. Crash still
