gcc 15 throws such kind of warnings about initialization of some char arrays:
src/log.c:181:33: error: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (17 chars into 16 available) [-Werror=unterminated-string-initialization]
181 | const char sess_term_cond[16] = "-LcCsSPRIDKUIIII"; /* normal, Local, CliTo, CliErr, SrvTo, SrvErr, PxErr, Resource, Internal, Down, Killed, Up, -- */
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/log.c:182:33: error: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (9 chars into 8 available) [-Werror=unterminated-string-initialization]
182 | const char sess_fin_state[8] = "-RCHDLQT"; /* cliRequest, srvConnect, srvHeader, Data, Last, Queue, Tarpit */
So, let's make it happy by not giving the sizes of these char arrays
explicitly, thus he can accomodate there NUL terminators.
Reported in GitHub issue #2910.
This should be backported up to 2.6.
This test brought by commit 8ed1e91efd ("MEDIUM: lb-chash: add directive
hash-preserve-affinity") seems to have hit a limitation of what can be
expressed in vtc, as it would be desirable to have one server response
release two clients at once but the various attempts using barriers
have failed so far. The test seems to work fine locally but still fails
almost 100% of the time on the CI, so it remains timing dependent in
some ways. Tests have been done with nbthread 1, pool-idle-shared off,
http-reuse never (since always fails locally) etc but to no avail. Let's
just mark it broken in case we later figure another way to fix it. It's
still usable locally most of the time, though.
By default, pools of comparable sizes are merged together. However, the
current algorithm is dumb: it rounds the requested size to the next
multiple of 16 and compares the sizes like this. This results in many
entries which are already multiples of 16 not being merged, for example
1024 and 1032 are separate, 65536 and 65540 are separate, 48 and 56 are
separate (though 56 merges with 64).
This commit changes this to consider not just the entry size but also the
average entry size, that is, it compares the average size of all objects
sharing the pool with the size of the object looking for a pool. If the
object is not more than 1% bigger nor smaller than the current average
size or if it neither 16 bytes smaller nor larger, then it can be merged.
Also, it always respects exact matches in order to avoid merging objects
into larger pools or worse, extending existing ones for no reason, and
when there's a tie, it always avoids extending an existing pool.
Also, we now visit all existing pools in order to spot the best one, we
do not stop anymore at the smallest one large enough. Theoretically this
could cost a bit of CPU but in practice it's O(N^2) with N quite small
(typically in the order of 100) and the cost at each step is very low
(compare a few integer values). But as a side effect, pools are no
longer sorted by size, "show pools bysize" is needed for this.
This causes the objects to be much better grouped together, accepting to
use a little bit more sometimes to avoid fragmentation, without causing
everyone to be merged into the same pool. Thanks to this we're now
seeing 36 pools instead of 48 by default, with some very nice examples
of compact grouping:

On a very unscientific test consisting in sending 1 million H1 requests
and 1 million H2 requests to the stats page, we're seeing an ~6% lower
memory usage with the patch:
before the patch:
Total: 48 pools, 4120832 bytes allocated, 4120832 used (~3555680 by thread caches).
after the patch:
Total: 36 pools, 3880648 bytes allocated, 3880648 used (~3299064 by thread caches).
This should be taken with care however since pools allocate and release
in batches.
When using hash-based load balancing, requests are always assigned to
the server corresponding to the hash bucket for the balancing key,
without taking maxconn or maxqueue into account, unlike in other load
balancing methods like 'first'. This adds a new backend directive that
can be used to take maxconn and possibly maxqueue in that context. This
can be used when hashing is desired to achieve cache locality, but
sending requests to a different server is preferable to queuing for a
long time or failing requests when the initial server is saturated.
By default, affinity is preserved as was the case previously. When
'hash-preserve-affinity' is set to 'maxqueue', servers are considered
successively in the order of the hash ring until a server that does not
have a full queue is found.
When 'maxconn' is set on a server, queueing cannot be disabled, as
'maxqueue=0' means unlimited. To support picking a different server
when a server is at 'maxconn' irrespective of the queue,
'hash-preserve-affinity' can be set to 'maxconn'.
Define a new global configuration tune.quic.frontend.max-data. This
allows users to explicitely set the value for the corresponding QUIC TP
initial-max-data, with direct impact on haproxy memory consumption.
Initial TP value for max-data is automatically calculated to be adjusted
to the maximum number of opened streams over a QUIC connection. This
took into account both max-streams-bidi-remote and uni-streams. By
default, this is equivalent to 100 + 3 = 103 max opened streams.
This patch simplifies the calculation by only using bidirectional
streams. Uni streams are ignored because they are only used for HTTP/3
control exchanges, which should only represents a few bytes. For now,
users can only configure the max number of remote bidi streams, so the
simplified calculation should make more sense to them.
Note that this relies on the assumption that HTTP/3 is used as
application protocol. To support other protocols, it may be necessary to
review this and take into account both local bidi and uni streams.
Adjust initialization of flow-control transport parameters via
quic_transport_params_init().
This is purely cosmetic, with some comments added. It is also a
preparatory step for future patches with addition of new configuration
keywords related to flow-control TP values.
A new structure quic_tune has recently been defined. Its purpose is to
store global options related to QUIC. Previously, only the tunable to
toggle pacing was stored in it.
This commit moves several QUIC related tunable from global to quic_tune
structure. This better centralizes QUIC configuration option and gives
room for future generic options.

- MINOR: pools: rename the "by_what" field of the show pools context to "how"
- MINOR: cli/pools: record the list of pool registrations even when merging them
By default, create_pool() tries to merge similar pools into one. But when
dealing with certain bugs, it's hard to say which ones were merged together.
We do have the information at registration time, so let's just create a
list of registrations ("pool_registration") attached to each pool, that
will store that information. It can then be consulted on the CLI using
"show pools detailed", where the names, sizes, alignment and flags are
reported.
The goal will be to support other dump options. We don't need 32 bits to
express sorting criteria, let's reserve only 4 bits for them and leave
the remaining ones unused.
In this patch we pursue the work started in a5aadbd ("MEDIUM: promex:
switch to using stat_cols_px for front/back/server metrics"):
Indeed, while having ".promex_name" info in stat_cols_info generic array
was confusing, Willy suggested that we have ".alt_name" which stays
generic and may be considered by alternative exporters for metric naming.
For now, only promex exporter will make use of it.
Thanks to this, it allows us to completely get rid of the
stat_cols_px array. The other main benefit is that it will be much harder
to overlook promex metric definition now because .alt_name has more
visibility in the main metric array rather than in an addon file.
For now alt_name is systematically set to NULL. Thanks to this change we
may easily add an altname to existing metrics. Also by requiring explicit
value it offers more visibility for this field.

alt_name will be used by metric exporters to know how the metric should be
presented to the user. If the alt_name is NULL, the metric should be
ignored. For now only promex exporter will make use of this.
Reduce the max number of loops in the mt_list code while waiting for
a lock to be available with exponential backoff. It's been observed that
the current value led to severe performances degradation at least on
some hardware, hopefully this value will be acceptable everywhere.
The following patch fixed a BUG_ON() which could be triggered if RS/SS
emission was scheduled after stream local closure.
7ee1279f4b
BUG/MEDIUM: mux-quic: fix crash on RS/SS emission if already close local
qcc_send_stream() was rewritten as a wrapper around an internal
_qcc_send_stream() used to bypass the faulty BUG_ON(). However, an extra
unnecessary BUG_ON() was added by mistake in _qcc_send_stream().
This should not cause any issue, as the BUG_ON() is only active if <urg>
argument is false, which is not the case for RS/SS emission. However,
this patch is labelled as a bug as this BUG_ON() is unnecessary and may
cause issues in the future.
This should be backported up to 2.8, after the above mentionned patch.
A BUG_ON() is present in qcc_send_stream() to ensure that emission is
never performed with a stream already closed locally. However, this
function is also used for RESET_STREAM/STOP_SENDING emission. No
protection exists to ensure that RS/SS is not scheduled after stream
local closure, which would result in this BUG_ON() crash.
This crash can be triggered with the following QUIC client sequence :
1. SS is emitted to open a new stream. QUIC-MUX schedules a RS emission
by and the stream is locally closed.
2. An invalid HTTP/3 request is sent on the same stream, for example
with duplicated pseudo-headers. The objective is to ensure
qcc_abort_stream_read() is called after stream closure, which results
in the following backtrace.

The proper solution is to not execute this BUG_ON() for RS/SS emission.
Indeed, it is valid and can be useful to emit these frames, even after
stream local closure.
To implement this, qcc_send_stream() has been rewritten as a mere
wrapper function around the new internal _qcc_send_stream(). The latter
is used only by QMUX for STREAM, RS and SS emission. Application layer
continue to use the original function for STREAM emission, with the
BUG_ON() still in place there.
This must be backported up to 2.8.
While being a generic metric, ST_I_PX_REQ_TOT is handled specifically for
the frontend case. But the frontend capability isn't set for that metric
It is actually quite misleading, because the capability may be checked
to see whether the metric is relevant for a given scope, yet it is
relevant for frontend scope.
In this patch we also add the frontend capability for the metric.
Now the stat_cols_px array contains all info that-prometheus requires
stop using the promex_st_metrics array that contains redundant infos.
As for ("MEDIUM: promex: switch to using stat_cols_info for global
metrics"), initial goal was to completely get rid of promex_st_metrics
array, but it turns out it is still required but only for the name
mapping part now. So in this commit we change it from complex structure
array (with redundant info) to a simple ist array with the
metric id:promex name mapping. If a metric name is not defined there, then
promex ignores it.
It has been requested to have the ST_I_INF_WARNINGS metric available from
prometheus, let's define it in promex_global_metrics ist array so that
prometheus starts advertising it.
Now the stat_cols_info array contains all info that prometheus requires,
stop using the promex_global_metrics array that contains redundant infos.
Initial goal was to completely drop the promex_global_metrics array.
However it was deemed no longer relevant as prometheus stats rely on a
custom name that cannot be derived from stat_cols_info[], unless we add
a specific ".promex_name" field or similar to name the stats for
prometheus. This is what was carried over on a first attempt but it proved
to burden stat_cols_info[] array (not only memory wise, it is quite
confusing to see promex in the main codebase, given that prometheus is
shipped as an optional add-on).
The new strategy consists in revamping the promex_global_metrics array
from promex_metric (with all redundant fields for metrics) to a simple
ID<==>IST mapping. If the metric is mapped, then it means promex addon
should advertise it (using the name provided in the mapping). Now for
all the metric retrieval, no longer rely on built-in hardcoded values
but instead leverage the new stat cols API.
The tricky part is the .type association because the general rule doesn't
apply for all metrics as it seems that we stated that some non-counters
oriented metrics (at least from haproxy point of view) had to be presented
as counter metrics. So in this patch we add some special treatment for
those metrics to emulate the old behavior. If that's not relevant in the
future, it may be removed. But this requires to ensure that promex users
will properly cope with that change. At least for now, no change of
behavior should be expected.
Use stat_col storage for stat_cols_info[] array instead of name_desc.
As documented in 65624876f ("MINOR: stats: introduce a more expressive
stat definition method"), stat_col supersedes name_desc storage but
it remains backward compatible. Here we migrate to the new API to be
able to further extend stat_cols_info[] in following patches.
Goal is to merge promex metrics definition into the main one.
Promex metrics will use the metric capability to know available scopes,
thus only metrics relevant for prometheus were updated.
Further extend logic implemented in 65624876 ("MINOR: stats: introduce a
more expressive stat definition method") and 4e9e8418 ("MINOR: stats:
prepare stats-file support for values other than FN_COUNTER"): we don't
rely anymore on the presence of the capability to know if the metric is
generic or not. This is because it prevents us from setting a capability
on static statistics. Yet it could be useful to set the capability even
on static metrics, thus we add a dedicated .generic bit to tell haproxy
that the metric is generic and can be handled automatically by the API.
Also, ME_NEW_* helpers are not explicitly associated to generic metric
definition (as it was already the case before) to avoid ambiguities.
It may change in the future as we may need to use the new definition
method to define static metrics (without the generic bit set). But for
now it isn't the case as this need definition was implemented for generic
metrics support in the first place. If we want to define static metrics
using the API, we could add a new set of helpers for instance.
On frontend side, when a stream is shut while the response was already fully
sent, it was cancelled by sending a RST_STREAM(CANCEL) frame. However, it is
not accurrate. CANCEL error code must only be used if the response headers
were sent, but not the full response. As stated in the RFC 9113, when the
response was fully sent, to stop the request sending, a RST_STREAM with an
error code of NO_ERROR must be sent.
This patch should solve the issue #1219. It must be backported to all stable
versions.
The ckch_store_load_files() function makes specific processing for
PARSE_TYPE_STR as if it was a type only used for paths.
This patch changes a little bit the way it's done,
PARSE_TYPE_STR is only meant to strdup() a string and stores the
resulting pointer in the ckch_conf structure.
Any processing regarding the path is now done in the callback.
Since the callbacks were basically doing the same thing, they were
transformed into the DECLARE_CKCH_CONF_LOAD() macros which allows to
do some templating of these functions.
The resulting ckch_conf_load_* functions will do the same as before,
except they will also do the path processing instead of letting
ckch_store_load_files() do it, which means we don't need the "base"
member anymore in the struct ckch_conf_kws.
With the SSL configuration, crt-base, key-base are often used, these
keywords concatenates the base path with the path when the path does not
start by '/'.
This is done at several places in the code, so a function to do this
would be better to standardize the code.
Recent commit e5e36ce09 ("BUG/MEDIUM: hlua/cli: Fix lua CLI commands
to work with applet's buffers") revealed a bug in hlua cli applet handling
Indeed, playing with Willy's lua tetris script on the cli, a segfault
would be encountered when forcefully closing the session by sending a
CTRL+C on the terminal.
In fact the crash was caused by a UAF: while the cli applet was already
freed, the lua task responsible for waking it up would still point to it.
Thus hlua_applet_wakeup() could be called even if the applet didn't exist
anymore.
To fix the issue, in hlua_cli_io_release_fct() we must also free the hlua
task linked to the applet, like we already do for
hlua_applet_tcp_release() and hlua_applet_http_release().
While this bug exists on stable versions (where it should be backported
too for precaution), it only seems to be triggered starting with 3.0.
'global.fd_hard_limit' stays uninitialized, if haproxy is started with -m
(global.rlimit_memmax). 'remain' is the MAX between soft and hard process fd
limits. It will be always bigger than 'global.fd_hard_limit' (0) in this case.
So, if we reassign 'remain' to the 'global.fd_hard_limit' unconditionally,
calculated then 'maxconn' will be even negative and the DEFAULT_MAXCONN (100)
will be set as the 'ideal_maxconn'.
During the 'global.maxconn' calculations in set_global_maxconn(), if the
provided 'global.rlimit_memmax' is quite big, system will refuse to calculate
based on its 'global.maxconn' and we will do a fallback to the 'ideal_maxconn',
which is 100.
Same problem for the configs with SSL frontends and backends.
This fixes the issue #2899.
This should be backported to v3.1.0.
Thanks to the previous commits, we now know that "wait srv-removable"
does not require thread isolation, as long as 3372a2ea00 ("BUG/MEDIUM:
queues: Stricly respect maxconn for outgoing connections") and c880c32b16
("MINOR: stream: decrement srv->served after detaching from the list")
are present. Let's just get rid of thread_isolate() here, which can
consume a lot of CPU on highly threaded machines when removing many
servers at once.
This function was marked as requiring thread isolation because its code
was extracted from cli_parse_delete_server() and was running under
isolation. But upon closer inspection, and using atomic loads to check
a few counters, it is actually safe to run without isolation, so let's
reflect that in its description.
However, it remains true that cli_parse_delete_server() continues to call
it under isolation.
Now that thanks to commit c880c32b16 ("MINOR: stream: decrement
srv->served after detaching from the list") we can trust srv->served,
let's use it and no longer loop on threads when checking if a server
still has streams attached to it. This will be much cheaper and will
result in keeping isolation for a shorter time in the "wait" command.
Baptiste reported that using the new optional timeout argument introduced
in 19e48f2 ("MINOR: hlua: add an optional timeout to AppletTCP:receive()")
the following error would occur at some point:
runtime error: file.lua:lineno: bad argument #-2 to 'receive' (number
expected, got light userdata) from [C]: in method 'receive...
In fact this is caused by exp_date being retrieved using relative index -1
instead of absolute index 3. Indeed, while using relative index is fine
most of the time when we trust the stack, when combined with yielding the
top of the stack when resuming from yielding is not necessarily the same
as when the function was first called (ie: if some data was pushed to the
stack in the yieldable function itself). As such, it is safer to use
explicit index to access exp_date variable at position 3 on the stack.
It was confirmed that doing so addresses the issue.
No backport needed unless 19e48f2 is.
In commit 3372a2ea00 ("BUG/MEDIUM: queues: Stricly respect maxconn for
outgoing connections"), it has been ensured that srv->served is held
as long as possible around the periods where a stream is attached to a
server. However, it's decremented early when entering sess_change_server,
and actually just before detaching from that server's list. While there
is theoretically nothing wrong with this, it prevents us from looking at
this counter to know if streams are still using a server or not.
We could imagine decrementing it much later but that wouldn't work with
leastconn, since that algo needs ->served to be final before calling
lbprm.server_drop_conn(). Thus what we're doing here is to detach from
the server, then decrement ->served, and only then call the LB callback
to update the server's position in the tree. At this moment the stream
doesn't know the server anymore anyway (except via this function's
local variable) so it's safe to consider that no stream knows the server
once the variable reaches zero.
In ad0133cc ("MINOR: log: handle log-forward "option host""), we
de-reference saddr without first checking if saddr is NULL. In practise
saddr shouldn't be null, but it may be the case if memory error happens
for tcp syslog handler so we must assume that it can be NULL at some
point.
To fix the bug, we simply check for NULL before de-referencing it
under syslog_io_handler(), as the function comment suggests.
No backport needed unless ad0133cc is.
This patch implements the function EVP_PKEY_to_jws_algo() which returns
a jwt_alg compatible with the private key.
This value can then be passed to jws_b64_protected() and
jws_b64_signature() which modified to take an jwt_alg instead of a char.
TCP services might want to be interactive, and without a timeout on
receive(), the possibilities are a bit limited. Let's add an optional
timeout in the 3rd argument to possibly limit the wait time. In this
case if the timeout strikes before the requested size is complete,
a possibly incomplete block will be returned.
Coverity has reported that cpu2 seems sometimes unused in
cpu_fixup_topology():
*** CID 1593776: Code maintainability issues (UNUSED_VALUE)
/src/cpu_topo.c: 690 in cpu_fixup_topology()
684 continue;
685
686 if (ha_cpu_topo[cpu].cl_gid != curr_id) {
687 if (curr_id >= 0 && cl_cpu <= 2)
688 small_cl++;
689 cl_cpu = 0;
>>> CID 1593776: Code maintainability issues (UNUSED_VALUE)
>>> Assigning value from "cpu" to "cpu2" here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used.
690 cpu2 = cpu;
691 curr_id = ha_cpu_topo[cpu].cl_gid;
692 }
693 cl_cpu++;
694 }
695
That's it. 'cpu2' automatic/stack variable is used only in for() loop scopes to
save cpus ID in which we are interested in. In the loop pointed by coverity
this variable is not used for further processing within the loop's scope.
Then it is always reinitialized to 0 in the another following loops.
This fixes GitHUb issue #2895.
This cpu policy keeps the smallest CPU cluster. This can
be used to limit the resource usage to the strict minimum
that still delivers decent performance, for example to
try to further reduce power consumption or minimize the
number of cores needed on some rented systems for a
sidecar setup, in order to scale the system down more
easily. Note that if a single cluster is present, it
will still be fully used.
When started on a 64-core EPYC gen3, it uses only one CCX
with 8 cores and 16 threads, all in the same group.
This cpu policy tries to evict performant core clusters and only
focuses on efficiency-oriented ones. On an intel i9-14900k, we can
get 525k rps using 8 performance cores, versus 405k when using all
24 efficiency cores. In some cases the power savings might be more
desirable (e.g. scalability tests on a developer's laptop), or the
performance cores might be better suited for another component
(application or security component).
This cpu policy tries to evict efficient core clusters and only
focuses on performance-oriented ones. On an intel i9-14900k, we can
get 525k rps using only 8 cores this way, versus 594k when using all
24 cores. The gains from using all these codes are not significant
enough to waste them on this. Also these cores can be much slower
at doing SSL handshakes so it can make sense to evict them. Better
keep the efficiency cores for network interrupts for example.
Also, on a developer's machine it can be convenient to keep all these
cores for the local tasks and extra tools (load generators etc).
When a cluster is too large to fit into a single group, let's split it
into two equal groups, which will still be allowed to use all the CPUs
of the cluster. This allows haproxy to start all the threads with a
minimum number of groups (e.g. 2x40 for 80 cores).
