On destructive connection upgrade, instead of using the new mux name to
abort the old stream, we can relay on the stream connector flags. If it is
detached after the upgrade, it means the stream will not be resused by the
new mux and it must be aborted.
This patch may be backported to 2.6.
When the protocol is changed for a client connection at the stream level
(from TCP to H1/H2), there are two cases. The stream may be reused or
not. The first case, when the stream is reused is working. The second one is
buggy since the conn-stream refactoring and leads to a crash.
In this case, the new mux don't reuse the stream. It must be silently
aborted. However, its front stream connector is still referencing the
connection. So it must be detached. But it must be performed in two stages,
to be sure to not loose the context for the upgrade and to be able to
rollback on error. So now, before the upgrade, we prepare to detach the
stconn and it is finally detached if the upgrade succeeds. There is a trick
here. Because we pretend the stconn is detached but its state is preserved.
This patch must be backported to 2.6.
stream.c and mux_fcgi.c may cause a warning for a possible NULL deref
at -Os, while that is not possible thanks to the previous test. Let's
just switch to __htx_get_head_blk() instead.
Now that the data consumption from the endpoint is the default setting,
we can generalize the pre-clearing of the wont_consume flag, which is
no more specific to applets. In practice it's not needed anymore to do
it, but since streams might be initiatied from asynchronous applets,
these might have blocked their consumption side before creating the
stream thus it's safer to preserve the clearing of the flag.
Function arguments and local variables called "cs" were renamed to "sc"
to avoid future confusion. The HTTP analyser and the backend functions
were all updated after being reviewed. Function stream_update_both_cs()
was renamed to stream_update_both_sc()
There's no more reason for keepin the code and definitions in conn_stream,
let's move all that to stconn. The alphabetical ordering of include files
was adjusted.
This file contains all the stream-connector functions that are specific
to application layers of type stream. So let's name it accordingly so
that it's easier to figure what's located there.
The alphabetical ordering of include files was preserved.
An equivalent applet_need_more_data() was added as well since that function
is mostly used from applet code. It makes it much clearer that the applet
is waiting for data from the stream layer.
These ones are essentially for the stream endpoint, let's give them a
name that matches the intent. Equivalent versions were provided in the
applet namespace to ease code legibility.
The following flags are not at all related to the endpoint but to the
connector itself:
- SE_FL_RXBLK_ROOM
- SE_FL_RXBLK_BUFF
- SE_FL_RXBLK_CHAN
As such they have no business staying in the endpoint descriptor and
they must move to the stream connector. They've also been renamed
accordingly to better match what they correspond to (the same name
as the function that sets them).
The rare occurrences of cs_rx_blocked() were replaced by an explicit
test on the list of flags. The reason is that cs_rx_blocked() used to
preserve some tests that are not needed at certain places since already
known. For the same reason SE_FL_RXBLK_ANY wasn't converted. As such it
will later be possible to carefully review these few locations and
eliminate the unneeded flags from the tests. No particular function
was made to test them since they're explicit enough.
It now looks like ci_putchk() and friends could very well place the flag
themselves on the connector when they detect a buffer full condition, as
this would significantly simplify the high-level API. But all usages must
first be reviewed before this simplification can be done. For now it
remains done by applet_put*() instead.
At plenty of places we combine multiple flags checks to determine if we
can receive (endp_ready, rx_blocked, cf_shutr etc). Let's group them
under a single function that is meant to replace existing tests.
Some tests were only checking the rxblk flags at the connection level,
so for now they were not converted, this requires a bit of auditing
first, and probably a test to determine whether or not to check for
cf_shutr (e.g. there is none if no stream is present).
The analysis of cs_rx_endp_more() showed that the purpose is for a stream
endpoint to inform the connector that it's ready to deliver more data to
that one, and conversely cs_rx_endp_done() that it's done delivering data
so it should not be bothered again for this.
This was modified two ways:
- the operation is no longer performed on the connector but on the
endpoint so that there is no more doubt when reading applet code
about what this rx refers to; it's the endpoint that has more or
no more data.
- an applet implementation is also provided and mostly used from
applet code since it saves the caller from having to access the
endpoint descriptor.
It's visible that the flag ought to be inverted because some places
have to set it by default for no reason.
These functions are used by the application layer to disable or enable
reading at the stream connector's level when the input buffer failed to
be allocated (or was finally allocated). The new names makes things
clearer.
This makes SE_FL_APPLET_NEED_CONN autonomous, in that we check for it
everywhere we have a relevant cs_rx_blocked(), so that the flag doesn't
need anymore to be covered by cs_rx_blocked(). Indeed, this flag doesn't
really translate a receive blocking condition but rather a refusal to
wake up an applet that is waiting for a connection to finish to setup.
This also ensures we will not risk to set it back on a new endpoint
after cs_reset_endp() via SE_FL_APP_MASK, because the flag being
specific to the endpoint only and not to the connector, we don't
want to preserve it when replacing the endpoint.
It's possible that cs_chk_rcv() could later be further simplified if
we can demonstrate that the two tests in it can be merged.
One flag (RXBLK_SHUT) is always set with CF_SHUTR, so in order to remove
it, we first need to make sure we always check for CF_SHUTR where
cs_rx_blocked() is being used.
sc_is_send_allowed() is now used everywhere instead of the combination
of cs_tx_endp_ready() && !cs_tx_blocked(). There's no place where we
need them individually thus it's simpler. The test was placed in cs_util
as we'll complete it later.
The following functions which act on a connection-based stream connector
were renamed to sc_conn_* (~60 places):
cs_conn_drain_and_shut
cs_conn_process
cs_conn_read0
cs_conn_ready
cs_conn_recv
cs_conn_send
cs_conn_shut
cs_conn_shutr
cs_conn_shutw
These functions return the app-layer associated with an stconn, which
is a check, a stream or a stream's task. They're used a lot to access
channels, flags and for waking up tasks. Let's just name them
appropriately for the stream connector.
We're starting to propagate the stream connector's new name through the
API. Most call places of these functions that retrieve the channel or its
buffer are in applets. The local variable names are not changed in order
to keep the changes small and reviewable. There were ~92 uses of cs_ic(),
~96 of cs_oc() (due to co_get*() being less factorizable than ci_put*),
and ~5 accesses to the buffer itself.
This applies the change so that the applet code stops using ci_putchk()
and friends everywhere possible, for the much saferapplet_put*() instead.
The change is mechanical but large. Two or three functions used to have no
appctx and a cs derived from the appctx instead, which was a reminiscence
of old times' stream_interface. These were simply changed to directly take
the appctx. No sensitive change was performed, and the old (more complex)
API is still usable when needed (e.g. the channel is already known).
The change touched roughly a hundred of locations, with no less than 124
lines removed.
It's worth noting that the stats applet, the oldest of the series, could
get a serious lifting, as it's still very channel-centric instead of
propagating the appctx along the chain. Given that this code doesn't
change often, there's no emergency to clean it up but it would look
better.
This also follows the natural naming. There are roughly 238 changes, all
totally trivial. conn_stream-t.h has become completely void of any
"conn_stream" related stuff now (except its 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.
Just like for the appctx, this is a pointer to a stream endpoint descriptor,
so let's make this explicit and not confuse it with the full endpoint. There
are very few changes thanks to the preliminary refactoring of the flags
manipulation.
That's the "stream endpoint" pointer. Let's change it now while it's
not much spread. The function __cs_endp_target() wasn't yet renamed
because that will change more globally soon.
This changes all main uses of cs->endp->flags to the sc_ep_*() equivalent
by applying coccinelle script cs_endp_flags.cocci.
Note: 143 locations were touched, manually reviewed and found to be OK,
except a single one that was adjusted in cs_reset_endp() where the flags
are read and filtered to be used as-is and not as a boolean, hence was
replaced with sc_ep_get() & $FLAGS.
The script was applied with all includes:
spatch --in-place --recursive-includes -I include --sp-file $script $files
Even if `unique_id` and `s->unique_id` are identical it is a bit odd to
`isttest()` `unique_id` and then use `s->unique_id` in the call to `http_add_header()`.
This "issue" was introduced in a17e66289c08a5bfadc1bb5b5f2c618c9299fe1b,
because before that commit the function returned the length of the ID, as it
was not an ist.
It is just a helper function that call the .init applet callback function,
if it exists. This will simplify a bit the init stage when a new applet is
started. For now, this callback function is only used when a new service is
started.
The session created for frontend applets is now totally owns by the
corresponding appctx. It means the appctx is now responsible to release
it. This removes the hack in stream_free() about frontend applets to be sure
to release the session.
This one is the pointer to the conn_stream which is always in the
endpoint that is always present in the appctx, thus it's not needed.
This patch removes it and replaces it with appctx_cs() instead. A
few occurences that were using __cs_strm(appctx->owner) were moved
directly to appctx_strm() which does the equivalent.
This one has been misused for a while as well, it's time to deprecate it
since we don't use it anymore. It will be removed in 2.7 and for now is
only marked as deprecated. Since we need to guarantee that it's zeroed
before starting any applet or CLI command, it was moved into an anonymous
union where its sibling is not marked as deprecated so that we can
continue to initialize it without triggering a warning.
If you found this commit after a bisect session you initiated to figure
why you got some build warnings and don't know what to do, have a look
at the code that deals with the "show fd", "show sess" or "show servers"
commands, as it's supposed to be self-explanatory about the tiny changes
to apply to your code to port it. If you find APPLET_MAX_SVCCTX to be
too small for your use case, either kindly ask for a tiny extension
(and try to get your code merged), or just use a pool.
The state was a constant, let's remove what remains of the switch/case.
The code from the "case" statement was only reindented as can be checked
with "git show -b".
This state is only an alias for "thr >= global.nbthread" which is the
sole condition that indicates the end and reaches it. Let's just drop
this state. There's only the STATE_LIST that's left.
This state was only used to preset the list element. Now that we can
guarantee that the context can be properly preset during the parsing
we don't need this state anymore. The first pointer has to be set to
point to the first stream during the initial call which is detected
by the pointer not yet being set (null). Thanks to this we can also
remove one state check on the abort path.
This makes use of the generic command context allocation so that the
appctx doesn't have to declare a specific one anymore. The context is
created during parsing.
