When possible, we try send DATA frame without copying data. To do so, we
swap the input buffer with QCS tx buffer. It is only possible iff:
* There is only one HTX block of data at the beginning of the message
* Amount of data to send is equal to the size of the HTX data block
* The QCS tx buffer is empty
In this case, both buffers are swapped. The frame metadata are written at
the begining of the buffer, before data and where the HTX structure is
stored.
hq-interop should be limited for QUIC testing. As such, its code should
be kept plain simple and not implement too many things.
This patch fixes issues which may cause rare QUIC interop failures :
- remove some unneeded BUG_ON() as parser should not be too strict
- remove support of partial message parsing
- ensure buffer data does not wrap as it was not properly handled. In
any case, this should never happen as only a single message will be
stored for each qcs buffer.
This should be backported up to 2.6.
This patch is similar to the previous one but for QUIC mux functions
used inside the mux code itself or application layer. Replace all
occurences of qc_* prefix by qcc_* or qcs_*. This should help to better
differentiate code between quic_conn and MUX.
This should be backported up to 2.7.
When a full message is received for a stream, MUX is responsible to set
EOI flag. This was done through rcv_buf stream callback by checking if
QCS HTX buffer contained the EOM flag.
This is not correct for HTTP without body. In this case, QCS HTX buffer
is never used. Only a local HTX buffer is used to transfer headers just
as stream endpoint is created. As such, EOI is never transmitted to the
upper layer.
If the transfer occur without any issue, this does not seem to cause any
problem. However, in case the transfer is aborted, the stream is never
released which cause a memory leak and prevent the process soft-stop.
To fix this, also check if EOM is put by application layer during
headers conversion. If true, this is transferred through a new argument
to qc_attach_sc() MUX function which is responsible to set the EOI flag.
This issue was reproduced using h2load with hundred of connections.
h2load is interrupted with a SIGINT which causes streams to never be
closed on haproxy side.
This should be backported up to 2.6.
Remove QUIC MUX function qcs_http_handle_standalone_fin(). The purpose
of this function was only used when receiving an empty STREAM frame with
FIN bit. Besides, it was called by each application protocol which could
have different approach and render the function purpose unclear.
Invocation of qcs_http_handle_standalone_fin() have been replaced by
explicit code in both H3 and HTTP/0.9 module. In the process, use
htx_set_eom() to reliably put EOM on the HTX message.
This should be backported up to 2.7, along with the previous patch which
introduced htx_set_eom().
Properly handle a STREAM frame with no data but the FIN bit set at the
application layer. H3 and hq-interop decode_qcs() callback have been
adjusted to not return early in this case.
If the FIN bit is accepted, a HTX EOM must be inserted for the upper
stream layer. If the FIN is rejected because the stream cannot be
closed, a proper CONNECTION_CLOSE error will be triggered.
A new utility function qcs_http_handle_standalone_fin() has been
implemented in the qmux_http module. This allows to simply add the HTX
EOM on qcs HTX buffer. If the HTX buffer is empty, a EOT is first added
to ensure it will be transmitted above.
This commit will allow to properly handle FIN notify through an empty
STREAM frame. However, it is not sufficient as currently qcc_recv() skip
the decode_qcs() invocation when the offset is already received. This
will be fixed in the next commit.
This should be backported up to 2.6 along with the next patch.
Factorize common code between h3 and hq-interop snd_buf operation. This
is inserted in MUX QUIC snd_buf own callback.
The h3/hq-interop API has been adjusted to directly receive a HTX
message instead of a plain buf. This led to extracting part of MUX QUIC
snd_buf in qmux_http module.
This should be backported up to 2.6.
Small cleanup on snd_buf for application protocol layer.
* do not export h3_snd_buf
* replace stconn by a qcs argument. This is better as h3/hq-interop only
uses the qcs instance.
This should be backported up to 2.6.
Implement http-request timeout for QUIC MUX. It is used when the
connection is opened and is triggered if no HTTP request is received in
time. By HTTP request we mean at least a QUIC stream with a full header
section. Then qcs instance is attached to a sedesc and upper layer is
then responsible to wait for the rest of the request.
This timeout is also used when new QUIC streams are opened during the
connection lifetime to wait for full HTTP request on them. As it's
possible to demux multiple streams in parallel with QUIC, each waiting
stream is registered in a list <opening_list> stored in qcc with <start>
as timestamp in qcs for the stream opening. Once a qcs is attached to a
sedesc, it is removed from <opening_list>. When refreshing MUX timeout,
if <opening_list> is not empty, the first waiting stream is used to set
MUX timeout.
This is efficient as streams are stored in the list in their creation
order so CPU usage is minimal. Also, the size of the list is
automatically restricted by flow control limitation so it should not
grow too much.
Streams are insert in <opening_list> by application protocol layer. This
is because only application protocol can differentiate streams for HTTP
messaging from internal usage. A function qcs_wait_http_req() has been
added to register a request stream by app layer. QUIC MUX can then
remove it from the list in qc_attach_sc().
As a side-note, it was necessary to implement attach qcc_app_ops
callback on hq-interop module to be able to insert a stream in waiting
list. Without this, a BUG_ON statement would be triggered when trying to
remove the stream on sedesc attach. This is to ensure that every
requests streams are registered for http-request timeout.
MUX timeout is explicitely refreshed on MAX_STREAM_DATA and STOP_SENDING
frame parsing to schedule http-request timeout if a new stream has been
instantiated. It was already done on STREAM parsing due to a previous
patch.
Timeout in QUIC MUX has evolved from the simple first implementation. At
the beginning, a connection was considered dead unless bidirectional
streams were opened. This was abstracted through an app callback
is_active().
Now this paradigm has been reversed and a connection is considered alive
by default, unless an error has been reported or a timeout has already
been fired. The callback is_active() is thus not used anymore and can be
safely removed to simplify qcc_is_dead().
This commit should be backported to 2.6.
Clean the API used by decode_qcs() and transcoder internal functions.
Parsing functions now returns a ssize_t which represents the number of
consumed bytes or a negative error code. The total consumed bytes is
returned via decode_qcs().
The API is now unified and cleaner. The MUX can thus simply use the
return value of decode_qcs() instead of substracting the data bytes in
the buffer before and after the call. Transcoders functions are not
anymore obliged to remove consumed bytes from the buffer which was not
obvious.
Slightly modify decode_qcs function used by transcoders. The MUX now
gives a buffer instance on which each transcoder is free to work on it.
At the return of the function, the MUX removes consume data from its own
buffer.
This reduces the number of invocation to qcs_consume at the end of a
full demuxing process. The API is also cleaner with the transcoders not
responsible of calling it with the risk of having the input buffer
freed if empty.
As a mirror to qcc/qcs types, add a h3c pointer into h3s struct. This
should help to clean up H3 code and avoid to use qcs.qcc.ctx to retrieve
the h3c instance.
Function arguments and local variables called "cs" were renamed to "sc"
to avoid future confusion. The "nb_cs" stream-connector counter was
renamed to "nb_sc" and qc_attach_cs() was renamed to qc_attach_sc().
The function doesn't return a pointer to the mux but to the mux stream
(h1s, h2s etc). Let's adjust its name to reflect this. It's rarely used,
the name can be enlarged a bit. And of course s/cs/sc to accommodate for
the updated name.
This renames the "struct conn_stream" to "struct stconn" and updates
the descriptions in all comments (and the rare help descriptions) to
"stream connector" or "connector". This touches a lot of files but
the change is minimal. The local variables were not even renamed, so
there's still a lot of "cs" everywhere.
Send MAX_STREAM_DATA frames when at least half of the allocated
flow-control has been demuxed, frame and cleared. This is necessary to
support QUIC STREAM with received data greater than a buffer.
Transcoders must use the new function qcc_consume_qcs() to empty the QCS
buffer. This will allow to monitor current flow-control level and
generate a MAX_STREAM_DATA frame if required. This frame will be emitted
via qc_io_cb().
Add a ncbuf for data reception on qcs. Thanks to this, the MUX is able
to buffered all received frame directly into the buffer. Flow control
parameters will be used to ensure there is never an overflow.
This change will simplify Rx path with the future deletion of acked
frames tree previously used for frames out of order.
Group the endpoint target of a conn-stream, its context and the associated
flags in a dedicated structure in the conn-stream. It is not inlined in the
conn-stream structure. There is a dedicated pool.
For now, there is no complexity. It is just an indirection to get the
endpoint or its context. But the purpose of this structure is to be able to
share a refcounted context between the mux and the conn-stream. This way, it
will be possible to preserve it when the mux is detached from the
conn-stream.
This change is only significant for the multiplexer part. For the applets,
the context and the endpoint are the same. Thus, there is no much change. For
the multiplexer part, the connection was used to set the conn-stream
endpoint and the mux's stream was the context. But it is a bit strange
because once a mux is installed, it takes over the connection. In a
wonderful world, the connection should be totally hidden behind the mux. The
stream-interface and, in a lesser extent, the stream, still access the
connection because that was inherited from the pre-multiplexer era.
Now, the conn-stream endpoint is the mux's stream (an opaque entity for the
conn-stream) and the connection is the context. Dedicated functions have
been added to attached an applet or a mux to a conn-stream.
Add a new app layer operation is_active. This can be used by the MUX to
check if the connection can be considered as active or not. This is used
inside qcc_is_dead as a first check.
For example on HTTP/3, if there is at least one bidir client stream
opened the connection is active. This explicitly ignore the uni streams
used for control and qpack as they can never be closed during the
connection lifetime.
Thanks to all previous changes, it is now possible to move the
stream-interface into the conn-stream. To do so, some SI functions are
removed and their conn-stream counterparts are added. In addition, the
conn-stream is now responsible to create and release the
stream-interface. While the stream-interfaces were inlined in the stream
structure, there is now a pointer in the conn-stream. stream-interfaces are
now dynamically allocated. Thus a dedicated pool is added. It is a temporary
change because, at the end, the stream-interface structure will most
probably disappear.
This is required if we do not want to make haproxy crash during zerortt
interop runner test which makes a client open multiple streams with
long request paths.
Set the HTX EOM flag on RX the app layer. This is required to notify
about the end of the request for the stream analyzers, else the request
channel never goes to MSG_DONE state.
On h09 app layer, if there is not enought size in the tx buffer, the
transfer is interrupted and the flag QC_SF_BLK_MROOM is positionned.
The transfer is woken up by the mux when new buffer size becomes
available.
This ensure that no data is silently discarded during transfer. Without
this, once the buffer is full the data were removed and thus not send to
the client resulting in a truncating payload.
Handle the case when the app layer sending buffer is full. A new flag
QC_SF_BLK_MROOM is set in this case and the transfer is interrupted. It
is expected that then the conn-stream layer will subscribe to SEND.
The MROOM flag is reset each time the muxer transfer data from the app
layer to its own buffer. If the app layer has been subscribed on SEND it
is woken up.
Set the QC_SF_FIN_STREAM on the app layers (h3 / hq-interop) when
reaching the HTX EOM. This is used to warn the mux layer to set the FIN
on the QUIC stream.
Re-implement the QUIC mux. It will reuse the mechanics from the previous
mux without all untested/unsupported features. This should ease the
maintenance.
Note that a lot of features are broken for the moment. They will be
re-implemented on the following commits to have a clean commit history.
Implement a new app_ops layer for quic interop. This layer uses HTTP/0.9
on top of QUIC. Implementation is minimal, with the intent to be able to
pass interoperability test suite from
https://github.com/marten-seemann/quic-interop-runner.
It is instantiated if the negotiated ALPN is "hq-interop".
