This patch provides two functions acme_gen_tmp_pkey() and
acme_gen_tmp_x509().
These functions generates a unique keypair and X509 certificate that
will be stored in tmp_x509 and tmp_pkey. If the key pair or certificate
was already generated they will return the existing one.
The key is an RSA2048 and the X509 is generated with a expiration in the
past. The CN is "expired".
These are just placeholders to be used if we don't have files.
This is an API change, instead of passing a ckch_data alone, the
ckch_conf_kws.func() is called with a ckch_store.
This allows the callback to access the whole ckch_store, with the
ckch_conf and the ckch_data. But it requires the ckch_conf to be
actually put in the ckch_store before.
This patch removes <mux_state> field from quic_conn structure. The
purpose of this field was to indicate if MUX layer above quic_conn is
not yet initialized, active, or already released.
It became tedious to properly set it as initialization order of the
various quic_conn/conn/MUX layers now differ between the frontend and
backend sides, and also depending if 0-RTT is used or not. Recently, a
new change introduced in connect_server() will allow to initialize QUIC
MUX earlier if ALPN is cached on the server structure. This had another
level of complexity.
Thus, this patch removes <mux_state> field completely. Instead, a new
flag QUIC_FL_CONN_XPRT_CLOSED is defined. It is set at a single place
only on close XPRT callback invokation. It can be mixed with the new
utility functions qc_wait_for_conn()/qc_is_conn_ready() to determine the
status of conn/MUX layers now without an extra quic_conn field.
There's currently a function conn_delete_from_tree() which is used to
detach an idle connection from the tree it's currently attached to so
that it is no longer found. This function is used in three circumstances:
- when picking a new connection that no longer has any avail stream
- when temporarily working on the connection from an I/O handler,
in which case it's re-added at the end
- when killing a connection
The 2nd case above is quite specific, as it requires to preserve the
CO_FL_LIST_MASK flags so that the connection can be re-inserted into
the proper tree when leaving the handler. However, there's a catch.
When killing a connection, we want to be certain it will not be
reinserted into the tree. The flags preservation is causing a tiny
race if an I/O happens while the connection is in the kill list,
because in this case the I/O handler will note the connection flags,
do its work, then reinsert the connection where it believed it was,
then the connection gets purged, and another user can find it in the
tree.
The issue is very difficult to reproduce. On a 128-thread machine it
happens in H2 around 500k req/s after around 50M requests. In H1 it
happens after around 1 billion requests.
The fix here consists in passing an extra argument to the function to
indicate if the removal is permanent or not. When it's permanent, the
function will clear the associated flags. The callers were adjusted
so that all those dequeuing a connection in order to kill it do it
permanently and all other ones do it only temporarily.
A slightly different approach could have worked: the function could
always remove all flags, and the callers would need to restore them.
But this would require trickier modifications of the various call
places, compared to only passing 0/1 to indicate the permanent status.
This will need to be backported to all stable versions. The issue was
at least reproduced since 3.1 (not tested before). The patch will need
to be adjusted for 3.2 and older, because a 2nd argument "thr" was
added in 3.3, so the patch will not apply to older versions as-is.
Add a rwlock to control the server's path_parameter, to make sure
multiple threads don't set it at the same time, and it can't be seen in
an inconsistent state.
Also don't set the parameter every time, only set them if they have
changed, to prevent needless writes.
This does not need to be backported.
This patch is similar to the previous one, this time dealing with
qc_new_conn(). This function was asymetric on frontend and backend side,
as connection argument was set only in the latter case.
This was required prior due to qc_alloc_ssl_sock_ctx() signature. This
has changed with the previous patch, thus qc_new_conn() can also be
realigned on both FE and BE sides. <conn> member of quic_conn instance
is always set outside it, in qc_xprt_start() on the backend case.
ssl_sock_ctx is a generic object used both on TCP/SSL and QUIC stacks.
Most notably it contains a <conn> member which is a pointer to struct
connection.
On QUIC frontend side, this member is always set to NULL. Indeed,
connection is only created after handshake completion. However, this has
changed for backend side, where the connection is instantiated prior to
its quic_conn counterpart. Thus, ssl_sock_ctx member would be set in
this case as a convenience for use later in qc_ssl_do_hanshake().
However, this method was unsafe as the connection can be released,
without resetting ssl_sock_ctx member. Thus, the previous patch fixes
this by using on <conn> member through the quic_conn instance which is
the proper way.
Thus, this patch resets ssl_sock_ctx <conn> member to NULL. This is
deemed the cleanest method as it ensures that both frontend and backend
sides must not use it anymore.
Perf top showed that h1_snd_buf() was having great difficulties accessing
the proxy's server_id_hdr_name field in the middle of the headers loop.
Moving the assignment out of the loop to a local variable moved the
problem there as well:
| if (!(h1m->flags & H1_MF_RESP) && isttest(h1c->px->server_id_hdr_n
0.10 |20b0: mov -0x120(%rbp),%rdi
1.33 | mov 0x60(%rdi),%r10
0.01 | test %eax,%eax
0.18 | jne 2118
12.87 | mov 0x350(%r10),%rdi
0.01 | test %rdi,%rdi
0.05 | je 2118
| mov 0x358(%r10),%r11
It turns out that there are several atomically accessed fields in its
vicinity, causing the cache line to bounce all the time. Let's collect
the few frequently changed fields and place them together at the end
of the structure, and plug the 32-bit hole with another isolated field.
Doing so also reduced a little bit the cost of decrementing be->be_conn
in process_stream(), and overall the HTTP/1 performance increased by
about 1% both on ARM and x86_64.
When trying to reuse a backend connection, a connection hash is
calculated to match an entry with similar parameters. Previously, this
operation was skipped if the stream content wasn't based on HTTP, as it
would have been incompatible with http-reuse.
With the introduction of SPOP backends, this condition was removed, so
that it can also benefit from connection reuse. However, this means that
now hash calcul is always performed when connecting to a server, even
for TCP or log backends. This is unnecessary as these proxies cannot
perform connection reuse.
Note also that reuse mode is resetted on postparsing for incompatible
backends. This at least guarantees that no tree lookup will be performed
via be_reuse_connection(). However, connection lookup is still performed
in the session via session_get_conn() which is another unnecessary
operation.
Thus, this patch restores the condition so that reuse operations are now
entirely skipped if a backend mode is incompatible. This is implemented
via a new utility function named be_supports_conn_reuse().
This could be backported up to 3.1, as this commit could be considered
as a performance regression for tcp/log backend modes.
Ensure that QUIC support is compiled into haproxy when a QUIC server is
configured. This check is performed during _srv_parse_finalize() so that
it is detected both on configuration parsing and when adding a dynamic
server via the CLI.
Note that this changes the behavior of srv_is_quic() utility function.
Previously, it always returned false when QUIC support wasn't compiled.
With this new check introduced, it is now guaranteed that a QUIC server
won't exist if compilation support is not active. Hence srv_is_quic()
does not rely anymore on USE_QUIC define.
The mux currently refrains from sending data before H2_CS_FRAME_H, i.e.
before the peer's SETTINGS frame was received. While it makes sense on
the frontend, it's causing harm on the backend because it forces the
first request to be sent in two halves over an extra RTT: first the
preface and settings, second the request once the settings are received.
This is totally contrary to the philosophy of the H2 protocol, consisting
in permitting the client to send as soon as possible.
Actually what happens is the following:
- process_stream() calls connect_server()
- connect_server() creates a connection, and if the proto/alpn is guessed
or known, the mux is instantiated for the current request.
- the H2 init code wakes the h2 tasklet up and returns
- process_stream() tries to send the request using h2_snd_buf(), but that
one sees that we're before H2_CS_FRAME_H, refrains from doing so and
returns.
- process_stream() subscribes and quits
- the h2 tasklet can now execute to send the preface and settings, which
leave as a first TCP segment. The connection is ready.
- the iocb is woken again once the server's SETTINGS frame is received,
turning the connection to the H2_CS_FRAME_H state, and the iocb wake
up process_stream().
- process_stream() executes again and can try to send again.
- h2_snd_buf() is called and finally sends the request as a second TCP
segment.
Not only this is inefficient, but it also renders 0-RTT and TFO impossible
on H2 connections. When 0-RTT is used, only the preface and settings leave
as early data (the very first data of that connection), which is totally
pointless.
In order to fix this, we have to go through a few steps:
- first we need to let data be sent to a server immediately after the
SETTINGS frame was sent (i.e. in H2_CS_SETTINGS1 state instead of
H2_CS_FRAME_H). However, some protocol extensions are advertised by
the server using SETTINGS (e.g. RFC8441) and some requests might need
to know the existence of such extensions. For this reason we're adding
a new h2c flag, H2_CF_SETTINGS_NEEDED, which indicates that some
operations were not done because a server's SETTINGS frame is needed.
This is set when trying to send a protocol upgrade or extended CONNECT
during H2_CS_SETTINGS1, indicating that it's needed to wait for
H2_CS_FRAME_H in this case. The flag is always set on frontend
connections. This is what is being done in this patch.
- second, we need to be able to push the preface opportunistically with
the first h2_snd_buf() so that it's not needed to wake the tasklet up
just to send that and wake process_stream() again. This will be in a
separate patch.
By doing the first step, we're at least saving one needless tasklet
wakeup per connection (~9%), which results in ~5% backend connection
rate increase.
Returns a pointer to the first bind_conf matching <name> in a frontend
<front>.
When name is prefixed by a @ (@<filename>:<linenum>), it tries to look
for the corresponding filename and line of the configuration file.
NULL is returned if no match is found.
This patch adds functions to expose Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) status
and outer SNI information for logging and sample fetching.
Two new helper functions are introduced in ech.c:
- conn_get_ech_status() places the ECH processing status string into a
buffer.
- conn_get_ech_outer_sni() retrieves the outer SNI value if ECH
succeeded.
Two new sample fetch keywords are added:
- "ssl_fc_ech_status" returns the ECH status string.
- "ssl_fc_ech_outer_sni" returns the outer SNI value seen during ECH.
These allow ECH information to be used in HAProxy logs, ACLs, and
captures.
This patch introduces the USE_ECH option in the Makefile to enable
support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) with OpenSSL.
A new function, load_echkeys, is added to load ECH keys from a specified
directory. The SSL context initialization process in ssl_sock.c is
updated to load these keys if configured.
A new configuration directive, `ech`, is introduced to allow users to
specify the ECH key directory in the listener configuration.
A private keys that is password protected and was decoded during init
thanks to the password obtained thanks to 'ssl-passphrase-cmd' should
not be dumped via 'dump ssl cert' CLI command.
When a certificate is protected by a password, we can provide the
password via the dedicated pem_password_cb param provided to
PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey.
HAProxy will fetch the password automatically during init by calling a
user-defined external command that should dump the right password on its
standard output (see new 'ssl-passphrase-cmd' global option).
The devnull fd might be needed during configuration parsing, if some
options require to fork/exec for instance. So we now create it much
earlier in the init process and without depending on the '-q' or '-d'
parameters.
Since 3.0 where the CLI started to use rcv_buf, it appears that some
external tools sending chained commands are randomly experiencing
failures. Each time this happens when the whole command is sent as a
single packet, immediately followed by a close. This is not a correct
way to use the CLI but this has been working for ages for simple
netcat-based scripts, so we should at least try to preserve this.
The cause of the failure is that the first LF that acks a command is
immediately sent back to the client and rejected due to the closed
connection. This in turn forwards the error back to the applet which
aborts its processing.
Before 3.0 the responses would be queued into the buffer, then sent
back to the channel, and would all fail at once. This changed when
snd_buf/rcv_buf were implemented because the applets are much more
responsive and since they yield between each command, they can
deliver one ACK at a time that is immediately forwarded down the
chain.
An easy way to observe the problem is to send 5 map updates, a shutdown,
and immediately close via tcploop, and in parallel run a periodic
"show map" to count the number of elements:
$ tcploop -U /tmp/sock1 C S:"add map #0 1 1; add map #0 2 2; add map #0 3 3; add map #0 4 4; add map #0 5 5\n" F K
Before 3.0, there would always be 5 elements. Since 3.0 and before
20ec1de214 ("MAJOR: cli: Refacor parsing and execution of pipelined
commands"), almost always 2. And since that commit above in 3.2, almost
always one. Doing the same using socat or netcat shows almost always 5...
It's entirely timing-dependent, and might even vary based on the RTT
between the client and haproxy!
The approach taken here consists in doing the same principle as MSG_MORE
or Nagle but on the response buffer: the applet doesn't need to send a
single ACK for each command when it has already been woken up and is
scheduled to come back to work. It's fine (and even desirable) that
ACKs are grouped in a single packet as much as possible.
For this reason, this patch implements APPCTX_CLI_ST1_YIELD, a new CLI
flag which indicates that the applet left in yielding condition, i.e.
it has not finished its work. This flag is used by .rcv_buf to hold
pending data. This way we won't return partial responses for no reason,
and we can continue to emulate the previous behavior.
One very nice benefit to this is that it saves huge amounts of CPU on
the client. In the test below that tries to update 1M map entries, the
CPU used by socat went from 100% to 0% and the total transfer time
dropped by 28%:
before:
$ time awk 'BEGIN{ printf "prompt i\n"; for (i=0;i<1000000;i++) { \
printf "add map #0 %d %d\n",i,i,i }}' | socat /tmp/sock1 - >/dev/null
real 0m2.407s
user 0m1.485s
sys 0m1.682s
after:
$ time awk 'BEGIN{ printf "prompt i\n"; for (i=0;i<1000000;i++) { \
printf "add map #0 %d %d\n",i,i,i }}' | socat /tmp/sock1 - >/dev/null
real 0m1.721s
user 0m0.952s
sys 0m0.057s
The difference is also quite visible on the number of syscalls during
the test (for 1k updates):
before:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00 0.071691 0 100001 sendmsg
after:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00 0.000011 1 9 sendmsg
This patch will need to be backported to 3.0, and depends on these two
patches to be backported as well:
MINOR: applet: do not put SE_FL_WANT_ROOM on rcv_buf() if the channel is empty
MINOR: cli: create cli_raw_rcv_buf() from the generic applet_raw_rcv_buf()
As a folow-up to f40f5401b9f24becc6fdd2e77d4f4578bbecae7f, explicitely
use atomic operations to set the prev and next fields, to make sure the
compiler can't assume anything about it, and just does it.
This should be backported after f40f5401b9 up to 2.8.
The USE_KTLS test is currently being done outside of the USE_OPENSSL
guard so disabling USE_OPENSSL still results in build failures on
libcs built with support for kernels before 4.17, because we enable
KTLS by default on linux. Let's move the KTLS block inside the
USE_OPENSSL guard instead.
No backport is needed since KTLS is only in 3.3.
This is a second attempt at fixing issues on 32bits systems which would
trigger the following BUG_ON() statement:
FATAL: bug condition "sizeof(struct shm_stats_file_object) != 544" matched at src/stats-file.c:825 shm_stats_file_object struct size changed, is is part of the exported API: ensure all precautions were taken (ie: shm_stats_file version change) before adjusting this
This is a drop-in replacement for d30b88a6c + 4693ee0ff, as suggested by
Willy.
Indeed, on supported platforms unsigned int can be assumed to be 4 bytes
long, and long can be assumed to be 8 bytes long. As such, the previous
attempt was overkill and added unecessary maintenance complexity which
could result in bugs if not used properly. Moreover, it would only
partially solve the issue, since on little endian vs big endian
architectures, the provisioned memory areas (originating from the same
shm stats file) could be read differently by the host.
Instead we fix the aligments issues, and this alone helps to ensure
struct memory consistency on 64 vs 32bits platforms. It was tested
on both i386 and i586.
last_change and last_sess counters are now stored as unsigned int, as
it helped to fix the alignment issues and they were found to be used
as 32bits integers anyway.
Thanks to Willy for problem analysis and the patch proposal.
No backport needed.
This reverts commit 466a603b59ed77e9787398ecf1baf77c46ae57b1.
Due to the last 2 commits, this macro is now unused, and will probably
never be used, so let's get rid of that for now.
This reverts commit 4693ee0ff7a5fa4a12ff69b1a33adca142e781ac.
As discussed in GH #3168, this works but it is not the proper way to fix
the issue. See following commits.
This reverts commit d30b88a6cc47d662e92b524ad5818be312401d0e.
As discussed in GH #3168, this works but it is not the proper way to fix
the issue. See following commits.
Several settings can be set to control stream multiplexing and
associated receive window. Previously, all of these settings were
configured using prefix "tune.quic.frontend.", despite being applied
blindly on both sides.
Fix this by duplicating these settings specific to frontend and backend
side. Options are also renamed to use the standardize prefix
"tune.quic.[be|fe].stream." notation.
Also, each option is individually renamed to better reflect its purpose
and hide technical details relative to QUIC transport parameter naming :
* max-data-size -> stream.rxbuf
* max-streams-bidi -> stream.max-concurrent
* stream-data-ratio -> stream.data-ratio
No need to backport.
Streamline max-idle-timeout option. Rename it to use the newer cohesive
naming scheme 'tune.quic.fe|be.'.
Two different fields were already defined in global struct. These fields
are moved into quic_tune along with other QUIC settings. However, no
parser was defined for backend option, this commit fixes this.
No need to backport this.
On frontend side, a quic_conn can have a dedicated FD or use the
listener one. These different modes can be activated via a global QUIC
tune setting.
This patch adjusts the option. First, it is renamed to the more
meaningful name 'tune.quic.fe.sock-per-conn'. Also, arguments are now
either 'default-on' or 'force-off'. The objective is to better highlight
reliationship with 'quic-socket' bind option.
The older option is deprecated and will be removed in 3.5.
A QUIC global tune setting is defined to be able to force Retry emission
prior to handshake. By definition, this ability is only supported by
QUIC servers, hence it is a frontend option only.
Rename the option to use "fe" prefix. The old option name is deprecated
and will be removed in 3.5
QUIC global memory can be limited across the entire process via a global
tune setting. Previously, this setting used to misleading "frontend"
prefix. As this is applied as a sum between all QUIC connections, both
from frontend and backend sides, remove the prefix. The new option name
is "tune.quic.mem.tx-max".
The older option name is deprecated and will be removed in 3.5.
This patch is similar to the previous one, except that it is focused on
Tx QUIC settings. It is now possible to toggle GSO and pacing on
frontend and backend sides independently.
As with previous patch, option are renamed to use "fe/be" unified
prefixes. This is part of the current serie of commits which unify QUI
settings. Older options are deprecated and will be removed on 3.5
release.
Various settings can be configured related to QUIC congestion controler.
This patch duplicates them to be able to set independent values on
frontend and backend sides.
As with previous patch, option are renamed to use "fe/be" unified
prefixes. This is part of the current serie of commits which unify QUIC
settings. Older options are deprecated and will be removed on 3.5
release.
Previously, QUIC glitches support was only implemented for frontend
side. Extend this so that the option can be specified separately both on
frontend and backend sides. Function _qcc_report_glitch() now retrieves
the relevant max value based on connection side.
In addition to this, option has been renamed to use "fe/be" prefixes.
This is part of the current serie of commits which unify QUIC settings.
Older options are deprecated and will be removed on 3.5 release.
Rename the option to quickly enable/disable every QUIC listeners. It now
takes an argument on/off. The documentation is extended to reflect the
fact that QUIC backend are not impacted by this option.
The older keyword is simply removed. Deprecation is considered
unnecessary as this setting is only useful during debugging.
A major reorganization of QUIC settings is going to be performed. One of
its objective is to clearly define options which can be separately
configured on frontend and backend proxy sides.
To implement this, quic_tune structure is extended to support fe and be
options. A set of macros/functions is also defined : it allows to
retrieve an option defined on both sides with unified code, based on
proxy side of a quic_conn/connection instance.
Avoid setting both el->prev and el->next on the same line.
The goal is to set both el->prev and el->next to el, but a naive
compiler, such as when we're using -O0, will set el->next first, then
will set el->prev to the value of el->next, but if we're unlucky,
el->next will have been set to something else by another thread.
So explicitely set both to what we want.
This should be backported up to 2.8.
As reported by @tianon on GH #3168, running haproxy on 32bits i386
platform would trigger the following BUG_ON() statement:
FATAL: bug condition "sizeof(struct shm_stats_file_object) != 544" matched at src/stats-file.c:825
shm_stats_file_object struct size changed, is is part of the exported API: ensure all precautions were taken (ie: shm_stats_file version change) before adjusting this
In fact, some efforts were already taken to ensure shm_stats_file_object
struct size remains consistent on 64 vs 32 bits platforms, since
shm_stats_file_object is part of the public API and directly exposed in
the stats file.
However, some parts were overlooked: some structs that are embedded in
shm_stats_file_object struct itself weren't using fixed-width integers,
and would sometime be unaligned. The result of this is that it was
up to the compiler (platform-dependent) to choose how to deal with such
ambiguities, which could cause the struct mapping/size to be inconsistent
from one platform to another.
Hopefully this was caught by the BUG_ON() statement and with the precious
help of @tianon
To fix this, we now use fixed-width integers everywhere for members
(and submembers) of shm_stats_file_object struct, and we use explicit
padding where missing to avoid automatic padding when we don't expect
one. As for the previous commit, we leverage FIXED_SIZE() and
FIXED_SIZE_ARRAY() macro to set the expected width for each integer
without causing build issues on platform that don't support larger
integers.
No backport needed, this feature was introduced during 3.3-dev.
freq-ctr struct is used by the shm_stats_file API, and more precisely,
it is used in the shm_stats_file_object struct for counters.
shm_stats_file_object struct requires to be plateform-independent, thus
we switch to using explicit size types (AKA fixed width integer types)
for freq-ctr, in the attempt to make freq-ctr size and memory mapping
consistent from one platform to another.
We cannot simply use fixed-width integer because some of them are
involved in atomic operations, and forcing a given width could
cause build issues on some platforms where atomic ops are not
implemented for large integers. Instead we leverage the FIXED_SIZE
macro to keep handling the integers as before, but forcing them to
be stored using expected number of bytes (unused bytes will simply
be ignored).
No change of behavior should be expected.
FIXED_SIZE() macro can be used to instruct the compiler that the struct
member named <name>, handled as <type>, must be stored using <size> bytes
and that even if the type used is actualler smaller than the expected size
FIXED_SIZE_ARRAY(), similar to FIXED_SIZE() but for arrays: it takes an
extra argument which is the number of members.
They may be used for portability concerns to ensure a structure mapping
remains consistent between platforms.
The previous commit switch from ncbuf to ncbmbuf as storage for received
CRYPTO frames. The latter ensures that buffering of such frames cannot
fail anymore due to gaps size.
Previously, extra mechanism were implemented on QUIC frames parsing
function to overcome the limitation of ncbuf on gaps size. Before
insertion, CRYPTO frames were stored in a temporary tree to order their
insertion. As this is not necessary anymore, this commit removes the
temporary tree insertion.
This commit is closely associated to the previous bug fix. As it
provides a neat optimization and code simplication, it can be backported
with it, but not in the next immediate release to spot potential
regression.
In QUIC, TLS handshake messages such as ClientHello are encapsulated in
CRYPTO frames. Each QUIC implementation can split the content in several
frames of random sizes. In fact, this feature is now used by several
clients, based on chrome so-called "Chaos protection" mechanism :
https://quiche.googlesource.com/quiche/+/cb6b51054274cb2c939264faf34a1776e0a5bab7
To support this, haproxy uses a ncbuf storage to store received CRYPTO
frames before passing it to the SSL library. However, this storage
suffers from a limitation as gaps between two filled blocks cannot be
smaller than 8 bytes. Thus, depending on the size of received CRYPTO
frames and their order, ncbuf may not be sufficient. Over time, several
mechanisms were implemented in haproxy QUIC frames parsing to overcome
the ncbuf limitation.
However, reports recently highlight that with some clients haproxy is
not able to deal with CRYPTO frames reception. In particular, this is
the case with the latest ngtcp2 release, which implements a similar
chaos protection mechanism via the following patch. It also seems that
this impacts haproxy interaction with firefox.
commit 89c29fd8611d5e6d2f6b1f475c5e3494c376028c
Author: Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tatsuhiro.t@gmail.com>
Date: Mon Aug 4 22:48:06 2025 +0900
Crumble Client Initial CRYPTO (aka chaos protection)
To fix haproxy CRYPTO frames buffering once and for all, an alternative
non-contiguous buffer named ncbmbuf has been recently implemented. This
type does not suffer from gaps size limitation, albeit at the cost of a
small reduction in the size available for data storage.
Thus, the purpose of this current patch is to replace ncbuf with the
newer ncbmbuf for QUIC CRYPTO frames parsing. Now, ncbmb_add() is used
to buffer received frames which is guaranteed to suceed. The only
remaining case of error is if a received frame offset and length exceed
the ncbmbuf data storage, which would result in a CRYPTO_BUFFER_EXCEEDED
error code.
A notable behavior change when switching to ncbmbuf implementation is
that NCB_ADD_COMPARE mode cannot be used anymore during add. Instead,
crypto frame content received at a similar offset will be overwritten.
A final note regarding STREAM frames parsing. For now, it is considered
unnecessary to switch from ncbuf in this case. Indeed, QUIC clients does
not perform aggressive fragmentation for them. Keeping ncbuf ensure that
the data storage size is bigger than the equivalent ncbmbuf area.
This should fix github issue #3141.
This patch must be backported up to 2.6. It is first necessary to pick
the relevant commits for ncbmbuf implementation prior to it.
Implement ncbmb_advance() function for the ncbmbuf type. This allows to
remove bytes in front of the buffer, regardless of the existing gaps.
This is implemented by resetting the corresponding bits of the bitmap.
As the previous patch, this commit must be backported prior to the fix
to come on QUIC CRYPTO frames parsing.
Implement ncbmb_data() function for the ncbmbuf type. Its purpose is
similar to its ncbuf counterpart : it returns the size in bytes of data
starting at a specific offset until the next gap.
As the previous patch, this commit must be backported prior to the fix
to come on QUIC CRYPTO frames parsing.
This patch implements add operation for ncbmbuf type.
This function is simpler than its ncbuf counterpart. Indeed, for now
only NCB_ADD_OVERWRT mode is supported. This compromise has been chosen
as ncbmbuf will be first used for QUIC CRYPTO frames handling, which
does not mandate to compare existing filled blocks during insertion.
As the previous patch, this commit must be backported prior to the fix
to come on QUIC CRYPTO frames parsing.
Define ncbmbuf which is an alternative non-contiguous buffer
implementation. "bm" abbreviation stands for bitmap, which reflects how
gaps and filled blocks are encoded. The main purpose of this
implementation is to get rid of the ncbuf limitation regarding the
minimal size for gaps between two blocks of data.
This commit adds the new module ncbmbuf. Along with it, some utility
functions such as ncbmb_make(), ncbmb_init() and ncbmb_is_empty() are
defined. Public API of ncbmbuf will be extended in the following
patches.
This patch is not considered a bug fix. However, it will be required to
fix issue encountered on QUIC CRYPTO frames parsing. Thus, it will be
necessary to backport the current patch prior to the fix to come.
ncbuf is a module which provide a non-contiguous buffer type
implementation. This patch extracts some basic types related to it into
a new file ncbuf_common.h.
This patch will be useful to provide a new non-contiguous buffer
alternative implementation based on a bitmap.
This patch is not a bug fix. However, it is necessary for ncbmbuf
implementation which will be required to fix a QUIC issue on CRYPTO
frames parsing. This, it will be necessary to backport the current patch
prior to the fix to come.
Instead of having per-table expiration tasks, just use one per shard.
The task will now go through all the tables to expire entries. When a
table gets an expiration earlier than the one previously known, it will
be put in a mt-list, and the task will be responsible to put it into an
eb32, ordered based on the next expiration.
Each per-shard task will run on a different thread, so it should lead to
a better load distribution than the per-table tasks.
Add a new initcall stage, STG_INIT_2, for stuff to be called after
step_init_2() is called, so after we know for sure that global.nbthread
will be set.
Modify stick-tables stkt_late_init() to run at STG_INIT_2 instead of
STG_INIT, in anticipation for it to be enhanced and have a need for
global.nbthread.
In mt_list_delete(), if the element was not in a list, then n and p will
point to it, and so setting n->prev and n->next will be enough to unlock it.
Don't do it twice, as once it's been done the first time, another thread may
be working with it, and may have added it to a list already, and doing it
a second time can lead to list inconsistencies.
This should be backported up to 2.8.
