Now allocation and initialization of HTTP transactions are performed in a
unique function. Historically, there were two functions because the same TXN
was reset for K/A connections in the legacy HTTP mode. Now, in HTX, K/A
connections are handled at the mux level. A new stream, and thus a new TXN,
is created for each request. In addition, the function responsible to end
the TXN is now also reponsible to release it.
So, now, http_create_txn() and http_destroy_txn() must be used to create and
destroy an HTTP transaction.
When an HTX stream is created, be sure to always create the HTTP txn object,
regardless of the ".http_needed" value of the frontend. That happens when a
destructive HTTP upgrades is performed (TCP>H2). The frontend is a TCP
proxy. If there is no dependency on the HTTP part, the HTTP transaction is
not created at this stage but only when the backend is set. For now, it is
not a problem. But an HTTP txn will be mandatory to fully support TCP to
HTTP upgrades after frontend tcp-request rules evaluation.
The listening socket is represented by its file descriptor, which is
generic to all receivers and not just listeners, so it must move to
the rx struct.
It's worth noting that in order to extend receivers and listeners to
other protocols such as QUIC, we'll need other handles than file
descriptors here, and that either a union or a cast to uintptr_t
will have to be used. This was not done yet and the field was
preserved under the name "fd" to avoid adding confusion.
This patch fixes all the leftovers from the include cleanup campaign. There
were not that many (~400 entries in ~150 files) but it was definitely worth
doing it as it revealed a few duplicates.
This one was not easy because it was embarking many includes with it,
which other files would automatically find. At least global.h, arg.h
and tools.h were identified. 93 total locations were identified, 8
additional includes had to be added.
In the rare files where it was possible to finalize the sorting of
includes by adjusting only one or two extra lines, it was done. But
all files would need to be rechecked and cleaned up now.
It was the last set of files in types/ and proto/ and these directories
must not be reused anymore.
This one is particularly difficult to split because it provides all the
functions used to manipulate a proxy state and to retrieve names or IDs
for error reporting, and as such, it was included in 73 files (down to
68 after cleanup). It would deserve a small cleanup though the cut points
are not obvious at the moment given the number of structs involved in
the struct proxy itself.
The current state of the logging is a real mess. The main problem is
that almost all files include log.h just in order to have access to
the alert/warning functions like ha_alert() etc, and don't care about
logs. But log.h also deals with real logging as well as log-format and
depends on stream.h and various other things. As such it forces a few
heavy files like stream.h to be loaded early and to hide missing
dependencies depending where it's loaded. Among the missing ones is
syslog.h which was often automatically included resulting in no less
than 3 users missing it.
Among 76 users, only 5 could be removed, and probably 70 don't need the
full set of dependencies.
A good approach would consist in splitting that file in 3 parts:
- one for error output ("errors" ?).
- one for log_format processing
- and one for actual logging.
It was moved without any change, however many callers didn't need it at
all. This was a consequence of the split of proto_http.c into several
parts that resulted in many locations to still reference it.
The files were moved almost as-is, just dropping arg-t and auth-t from
acl-t but keeping arg-t in acl.h. It was useful to revisit the call places
since a handful of files used to continue to include acl.h while they did
not need it at all. Struct stream was only made a forward declaration
since not otherwise needed.
The TASK_IS_TASKLET() macro was moved to the proto file instead of the
type one. The proto part was a bit reordered to remove a number of ugly
forward declaration of static inline functions. About a tens of C and H
files had their dependency dropped since they were not using anything
from task.h.
global.h was one of the messiest files, it has accumulated tons of
implicit dependencies and declares many globals that make almost all
other file include it. It managed to silence a dependency loop between
server.h and proxy.h by being well placed to pre-define the required
structs, forcing struct proxy and struct server to be forward-declared
in a significant number of files.
It was split in to, one which is the global struct definition and the
few macros and flags, and the rest containing the functions prototypes.
The UNIX_MAX_PATH definition was moved to compat.h.
This one is particularly tricky to move because everyone uses it
and it depends on a lot of other types. For example it cannot include
arg-t.h and must absolutely only rely on forward declarations to avoid
dependency loops between vars -> sample_data -> arg. In order to address
this one, it would be nice to split the sample_data part out of sample.h.
A few includes were missing in each file. A definition of
struct polled_mask was moved to fd-t.h. The MAX_POLLERS macro was
moved to defaults.h
Stdio used to be silently inherited from whatever path but it's needed
for list_pollers() which takes a FILE* and which can thus not be
forward-declared.
And also rename standard.c to tools.c. The original split between
tools.h and standard.h dates from version 1.3-dev and was mostly an
accident. This patch moves the files back to what they were expected
to be, and takes care of not changing anything else. However this
time tools.h was split between functions and types, because it contains
a small number of commonly used macros and structures (e.g. name_desc)
which in turn cause the massive list of includes of tools.h to conflict
with the callers.
They remain the ugliest files of the whole project and definitely need
to be cleaned and split apart. A few types are defined there only for
functions provided there, and some parts are even OS-specific and should
move somewhere else, such as the symbol resolution code.
This one is included almost everywhere and used to rely on a few other
.h that are not needed (unistd, stdlib, standard.h). It could possibly
make sense to split it into multiple parts to distinguish operations
performed on timers and the internal time accounting, but at this point
it does not appear much important.
This one used to be stored into debug.h but the debug tools got larger
and require a lot of other includes, which can't use BUG_ON() anymore
because of this. It does not make sense and instead this macro should
be placed into the lower includes and given its omnipresence, the best
solution is to create a new bug.h with the few surrounding macros needed
to trigger bugs and place assertions anywhere.
Another benefit is that it won't be required to add include <debug.h>
anymore to use BUG_ON, it will automatically be covered by api.h. No
less than 32 occurrences were dropped.
The FSM_PRINTF macro was dropped since not used at all anymore (probably
since 1.6 or so).
All files that were including one of the following include files have
been updated to only include haproxy/api.h or haproxy/api-t.h once instead:
- common/config.h
- common/compat.h
- common/compiler.h
- common/defaults.h
- common/initcall.h
- common/tools.h
The choice is simple: if the file only requires type definitions, it includes
api-t.h, otherwise it includes the full api.h.
In addition, in these files, explicit includes for inttypes.h and limits.h
were dropped since these are now covered by api.h and api-t.h.
No other change was performed, given that this patch is large and
affects 201 files. At least one (tools.h) was already freestanding and
didn't get the new one added.
It's more generic and versatile than the previous shut_your_big_mouth_gcc()
that was used to silence annoying warnings as it's not limited to ignoring
syscalls returns only. This allows us to get rid of the aforementioned
function and the shut_your_big_mouth_gcc_int variable, that started to
look ugly in multi-threaded environments.
The frontend accept code uses conn_get_{from,to}_addr for logging and
debugging, without really checking if the operation succeeds. In
preparation of future changes, let's switch to conn_get_{src,dst}() and
integrate status check for possible failures.
The old module proto_http does not exist anymore. All code dedicated to the HTTP
analysis is now grouped in the file proto_htx.c. So, to finish the polishing
after removing the legacy HTTP code, proto_htx.{c,h} files have been moved in
http_ana.{c,h} files.
In addition, all HTX analyzers and related functions prefixed with "htx_" have
been renamed to start with "http_" instead.
First of all, all legacy HTTP analyzers and all functions exclusively used by
them were removed. So the most of the functions in proto_http.{c,h} were
removed. Only functions to deal with the HTTP transaction have been kept. Then,
http_msg and hdr_idx modules were entirely removed. And finally the structure
http_msg was lightened of all its useless information about the legacy HTTP. The
structure hdr_ctx was also removed because unused now, just like unused states
in the enum h1_state. Note that the memory pool "hdr_idx" was removed and
"http_txn" is now smaller.
This switches explicit calls to various trivial registration methods for
keywords, muxes or protocols from constructors to INITCALL1 at stage
STG_REGISTER. All these calls have in common to consume a single pointer
and return void. Doing this removes 26 constructors. The following calls
were addressed :
- acl_register_keywords
- bind_register_keywords
- cfg_register_keywords
- cli_register_kw
- flt_register_keywords
- http_req_keywords_register
- http_res_keywords_register
- protocol_register
- register_mux_proto
- sample_register_convs
- sample_register_fetches
- srv_register_keywords
- tcp_req_conn_keywords_register
- tcp_req_cont_keywords_register
- tcp_req_sess_keywords_register
- tcp_res_cont_keywords_register
- flt_register_keywords
Chunks are only a subset of a buffer (a non-wrapping version with no head
offset). Despite this we still carry a lot of duplicated code between
buffers and chunks. Replacing chunks with buffers would significantly
reduce the maintenance efforts. This first patch renames the chunk's
fields to match the name and types used by struct buffers, with the goal
of isolating the code changes from the declaration changes.
Most of the changes were made with spatch using this coccinelle script :

Some minor updates to 3 http functions had to be performed to take size_t
ints instead of ints in order to match the unsigned length here.
Patch adds ability to fetch frontend's default backend name in your
logic, so it can be used later to derive other backend names to make routing
decisions.
During the migration to the second version of the pools, the new
functions and pool pointers were all called "pool_something2()" and
"pool2_something". Now there's no more pool v1 code and it's a real
pain to still have to deal with this. Let's clean this up now by
removing the "2" everywhere, and by renaming the pool heads
"pool_head_something".
All the references to connections in the data path from streams and
stream_interfaces were changed to use conn_streams. Most functions named
"something_conn" were renamed to "something_cs" for this. Sometimes the
connection still is what matters (eg during a connection establishment)
and were not always renamed. The change is significant and minimal at the
same time, and was quite thoroughly tested now. As of this patch, all
accesses to the connection from upper layers go through the pass-through
mux.
It's pointless to read it on each and every accept(), as we only need
it for reporting in debugging mode a few lines later. Let's move this
part to the relevant block.
Till now connections used to rely exclusively on file descriptors. It
was planned in the past that alternative solutions would be implemented,
leading to member "union t" presenting sock.fd only for now.
With QUIC, the connection will need to continue to exist but will not
rely on a file descriptor but a connection ID.
So this patch introduces a "connection handle" which is either a file
descriptor or a connection ID, to replace the existing "union t". We've
now removed the intermediate "struct sock" which was never used. There
is no functional change at all, though the struct connection was inflated
by 32 bits on 64-bit platforms due to alignment.
Recently merged commit 0cfe388 ("MINOR: frontend: retrieve the ALPN name when
available") assumed that the connection is always known in frontend_accept()
which is not true for outgoing peers connections for example.
No backport needed.
For HTTP/2 we'll have to choose the upper layer based on the
advertised protocol name here and we want to keep debugging,
so let's move debugging earlier.
These 2 patches add ability to fetch frontend/backend name in your
logic, so they can be used later to make routing decisions (fe_name) or
taking some actions based on backend which responded to request (be_name).
In our case we needed a fetcher to be able to extract information we
needed from frontend name.
The fe_req_rate is similar to fe_sess_rate, but fetches the number
of HTTP requests per second instead of connections/sessions per second.

The union name "data" is a little bit heavy while we read the source
code because we can read "data.data.sint". The rename from "data" to "u"
makes the read easiest like "data.u.sint".
This patch remove the struct information stored both in the struct
sample_data and in the striuct sample. Now, only thestruct sample_data
contains data, and the struct sample use the struct sample_data for storing
his own data.
This patch removes the 32 bits unsigned integer and the 32 bit signed
integer. It replaces these types by a unique type 64 bit signed.
This makes easy the usage of integer and clarify signed and unsigned use.
With the previous version, signed and unsigned are used ones in place of
others, and sometimes the converter loose the sign. For example, divisions
are processed with "unsigned", if one entry is negative, the result is
wrong.
Note that the integer pattern matching and dotted version pattern matching
are already working with signed 64 bits integer values.
There is one user-visible change : the "uint()" and "sint()" sample fetch
functions which used to return a constant integer have been replaced with
a new more natural, unified "int()" function. These functions were only
introduced in the latest 1.6-dev2 so there's no impact on regular
deployments.
This patch removes the structs "session", "stream" and "proxy" from
the sample-fetches and converters function prototypes.
This permits to remove some weight in the prototype call.
The auto-forwarding mechanism in case no analyser is set is generic
to the streams. Also the timeouts on the client side are better preset
in the stream initialization as well.
