Check whether `ext_child` is valid before attempting to free it and its
contents.
This bug was introduced in 9a1ee7ac31.
This fix must be backported to HAProxy 2.0.
The struct mworker_proc is not uniformly freed everywhere, sometimes leading
to leaks of the `id` string (and possibly the other strings).
Introduce a mworker_free_child function instead of duplicating the freeing
logic everywhere to prevent this kind of issues.
This leak was reported in issue #96.
It looks like the leaks have been introduced in commit 9a1ee7ac31,
which is specific to 2.0-dev. Backporting `mworker_free_child` might be
helpful to ease backporting other fixes, though.
Since the introduction of the options field, we can use it to store the
type of process.
type = 'm' is replaced by PROC_O_TYPE_MASTER
type = 'w' is replaced by PROC_O_TYPE_WORKER
type = 'e' is replaced by PROC_O_TYPE_PROG
The old values are still used in the HAPROXY_PROCESSES environment
variable to pass the information during a reload.
This option is already the default, but its opposite 'no option
start-on-reload' allows the master to keep a previous instance of a
program and don't start a new one upon a reload.
The old program will then appear as a current one in "show proc" and
could also trigger an exit-on-failure upon a segfault.
This patch implements the external binary support in the master worker.
To configure an external process, you need to use the program section,
for example:
program dataplane-api
command ./dataplane_api
Those processes are launched at the same time as the workers.
During a reload of HAProxy, those processes are dealing with the same
sequence as a worker:
- the master is re-executed
- the master sends a USR1 signal to the program
- the master launches a new instance of the program
During a stop, or restart, a SIGTERM is sent to the program.
