Similarly to "expose-exprimental-directives" option, there is no a global
option to expose some deprecated directives. Idea is to have a way to silent
warnings about deprecated directives when there is no alternative solution.
Of course, deprecated directives covered by this option are not listed and
may change. It is only a best effort to let users upgrade smoothly.
A server can only be deleted if there is no elements which reference it.
This is taken care via srv_check_for_deletion(), most notably for active
and idle connections.
A special case occurs for connections directly managed by a session.
This is for so-called private connections, when using http-reuse never
or H2 + http-reuse safe for example. In this case. server does not
account these connections into its idle lists. This caused a bug as the
server is deleted despite the session still being able to access it.
To properly fix this, add a new referencing element into the server for
these session connections. A mt_list has been chosen for this. On
default http-reuse, private connections are typically not used so it
won't make any difference. If using H2 servers, or more generally when
dealing with private connections, insert/delete should typically occur
only once per session lifetime so impact on performance should be
minimal.
This should be backported up to 2.4. Note that srv_check_for_deletion()
was introduced in 3.0 dev tree. On backport, the extra condition in it
should be placed in cli_parse_delete_server() instead.
By default, backend connections are attached to a server instance. This
allows to implement connection reuse. However, in some particular cases,
connection cannot be shared accross several clients. These connections
are considered and private and are attached to the session instance
instead.
These private connections are also indexed by the target server to not
mix them. All of this is implemented via a dedicated structure
previously named struct sess_srv_list.
Rename it to better reflect its usage to struct sess_priv_conns. Also
rename its internal members and all of the associated functions.
This commit is only a renaming, thus no functional impact is expected.
While trying to reproduce another crash case involving lua filters
reported by @bgrooot on GH #2467, we found out that mixing filters loaded
from different contexts ('lua-load' vs 'lua-load-per-thread') for the same
stream isn't supported and may even cause the process to crash.
Historically, mixing lua-load and lua-load-per-threads for a stream wasn't
supported, but this changed thanks to 0913386 ("BUG/MEDIUM: hlua: streams
don't support mixing lua-load with lua-load-per-thread").
However, the above fix didn't consider lua filters's use-case properly:
unlike lua fetches, actions or even services, lua filters don't simply
use the stream hlua context as a "temporary" hlua running context to
process some hlua code. For fetches, actions.. hlua executions are
processed sequentially, so we simply reuse the hlua context from the
previous action/fetch to run the next one (this allows to bypass memory
allocations and initialization, thus it increases performance), unless
we need to run on a different hlua state-id, in which case we perform a
reset of the hlua context.
But this cannot work with filters: indeed, once registered, a filter will
last for the whole stream duration. It means that the filter will rely
on the stream hlua context from ->attach() to ->detach(). And here is the
catch, if for the same stream we register 2 lua filters from different
contexts ('lua-load' + 'lua-load-per-thread'), then we have an issue,
because the hlua stream will be re-created each time we switch between
runtime contexts, which means each time we switch between the filters (may
happen for each stream processing step), and since lua filters rely on the
stream hlua to carry context between filtering steps, this context will be
lost upon a switch. Given that lua filters code was not designed with that
in mind, it would confuse the code and cause unexpected behaviors ranging
from lua errors to crashing process.
So here we take another approach: instead of re-creating the stream hlua
context each time we switch between "global" and "per-thread" runtime
context, let's have both of them inside the stream directly as initially
suggested by Christopher back then when talked about the original issue.
For this we leverage hlua_stream_ctx_prepare() and hlua_stream_ctx_get()
helper functions which return the proper hlua context for a given stream
and state_id combination.
As for debugging infos reported after ha_panic(), we check for both hlua
runtime contexts to check if one of them was active when the panic occured
(only 1 runtime ctx per stream may be active at a given time).
This should be backported to all stable versions with 0913386
("BUG/MEDIUM: hlua: streams don't support mixing lua-load with lua-load-per-thread")
This commit depends on:
- "DEBUG: lua: precisely identify if stream is stuck inside lua or not"
[for versions < 2.9 the ha_thread_dump_one() part should be skipped]
- "MINOR: hlua: use accessors for stream hlua ctx"
For 2.4, the filters API didn't exist. However it may be a good idea to
backport it anyway because ->set_priv()/->get_priv() from tcp/http lua
applets may also be affected by this bug, plus it will ease code
maintenance. Of course, filters-related parts should be skipped in this
case.
When ha_panic() is called by the watchdog, we try to guess from
ha_task_dump() and ha_thread_dump_one() if the thread was stuck while
executing lua from the stream context. However we consider this is the
case by simply checking if the stream hlua context was set, but this is
not very precise because if the hlua context is set, then it simply means
that at least one lua instruction was executed at the stream level, not
that the stuck was currently executing lua when the panic occured.
This is especially true with filters, one could simply register a lua
filter that does nothing but this will still end up initializing the
stream hlua context for each stream. If the thread end up being stuck
during the stream handling, then debug dumping functions will report
that the stream was stuck while handling lua, which is not necessarilly
true, and could in fact confuse us even more.
So here we take another approach, we add the BUSY flag to hlua context:
this flag is set by hlua_ctx_resume() around lua_resume() call, this way
we can precisely tell if the thread was handling lua when it was
interrupted, and we rely on this flag in debug functions to check if the
thread was effectively stuck inside lua or not while processing the stream
No backport needed unless a commit depends on it.
The new "ssl-security-level" option allows one to change the OpenSSL
security level without having to change the openssl.cnf global file of
your distribution. This directives applies on every SSL_CTX context.
People sometimes change their security level directly in the ciphers
directive, however there are some cases when the security level change
is not applied in the right order (for example when applying a DH
param).
Before this patch, it was to possible to trick by using a specific
openssl.cnf file and start haproxy this way:
OPENSSL_CONF=./openssl.cnf ./haproxy -f bug-2468.cfg
Values for the security level can be found there:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CTX_set_security_level.html
This was discussed in github issue #2468.
This commit removes qc_treat_rx_crypto_frms(). This function was used in
a single place inside qc_ssl_provide_all_quic_data(). Besides, its
naming was confusing as conceptually it is directly linked to quic_ssl
module instead of quic_rx.
Thus, body of qc_treat_rx_crypto_frms() is inlined directly inside
qc_ssl_provide_all_quic_data(). Also, qc_ssl_provide_quic_data() is now
only used inside quic_ssl to its scope is set to static. Overall, API
for CRYPTO frame handling is now cleaner.
Compilation on solaris fails because of usage of names reserved on that
platform, i.e. 'queue' and 's_addr'.
This patch redefines 'queue' as '_queue' and renames 's_addr' to
'srv_addr' which fixes compilation for now.
Future plan: rename 'queue' in code base so define can be removed again.
Backporting: 2.9, 2.8
The sink lock was made to prevent event producers from passing while
there were other threads trying to print a "dropped" message, in order
to guarantee the absence of reordering. It has a serious impact however,
which is that all threads need to take the read lock when producing a
regular trace even when there's no reader.
This patch takes a different approach. The drop counter is shifted left
by one so that the lowest bit is used to indicate that one thread is
already taking care of trying to dump the counter. Threads only read
this value normally, and will only try to change it if it's non-null,
in which case they'll first check if they are the first ones trying to
dump it, otherwise will simply count another drop and leave. This has
a large benefit. First, it will avoid the locking that causes stalls
as soon as a slow reader is present. Second, it avoids any write on the
fast path as long as there's no drop. And it remains very lightweight
since we just need to add +2 or subtract 2*dropped in operations, while
offering the guarantee that the sink_write() has succeeded before
unlocking the counter.
While a reader was previously limiting the traffic to 11k RPS under
4C/8T, now we reach 36k RPS vs 14k with no reader, so readers will no
longer slow the traffic down and will instead even speed it up due to
avoiding the contention down the chain in the ring. The locking cost
dropped from ~75% to ~60% now (it's in ring_write now).
Amaury reported that previous commit 08ac282375 ("MINOR: Add aes_gcm_enc
converter") broke the CI on OpenSSL 1.0.2 due to the define above not
existing there. Let's just map it to its older name when not existing.
For reference, these were renamed when switching to 1.1.0:

No backport is needed.
The previous patch fix the handling of in-order CRYPTO frames which
requires the usage of a new buffer for these data as their handling is
delayed to run under TASK_HEAVY.
In fact, as now all CRYPTO frames handling must be delayed, their
handling can be unify. This is the purpose of this commit, which removes
the just introduced new buffer. Now, all CRYPTO frames are buffered
inside the ncbuf. Unused elements such as crypto_frms member for
encryption level are also removed.
This commit is not a bugcfix but is a direct follow-up to the last one.
As such, it can probably be backported with it to 2.9 to reduce code
differences between these versions.
QUIC relies on SSL_do_hanshake() to be able to validate handshake. As
this function is computation heavy, it is since 2.9 called only under
TASK_HEAVY. This has been implemented by the following patch :
94d20be1388023bff36d795f501571adfefe8c75
MEDIUM: quic: Heavy task mode during handshake
Instead of handling CRYPTO frames immediately during reception, this
patch delays the process to run under TASK_HEAVY tasklet. A frame copy
is stored in qel.rx.crypto_frms list. However, this frame still
reference the receive buffer. If the receive buffer is cleared before
the tasklet is rescheduled, it will point to garbage data, resulting in
haproxy decryption error. This happens if a fair amount of data is
received constantly to preempt the quic_conn tasklet execution.
This bug can be reproduced with a fair amount of clients. It is
exhibited by 'show quic full' which can report connections blocked on
handshake. Using the following commands result in h2load non able to
complete the last connections.
$ h2load --alpn-list h3 -t 8 -c 800 -m 10 -w 10 -n 8000 "https://127.0.0.1:20443/?s=10k"
Also, haproxy QUIC listener socket mode was active to trigger the issue.
This forces several connections to share the same reception buffer,
rendering the bug even more plausible to occur. It should be possible to
reproduce it with connection socket if increasing the clients amount.
To fix this bug, define a new buffer under quic_cstream. It is used
exclusively to copy CRYPTO data for in-order frame if ncbuf is empty.
This ensures data remains accessible even if receive buffer is cleared.
Note that this fix is only a temporary step. Indeed, a ncbuf is also
already used for out-of-order data. It should be possible to unify its
usage for both in and out-of-order data, rendering this new buffer
instance unnecessary. In this case, several unneeded elements will
become obsolete such as qel.rx.crypto_frms list. This will be done in a
future refactoring patch.
This must be backported up to 2.9.
In 2.7 with commit 35df34223b ("MINOR: buffers: split b_force_xfer() into
b_cpy() and b_force_xfer()"), b_ncat() was extracted from b_force_xfer()
but kept its source variable instead of constant, making it unusable for
calls from a const source. Let's just fix it.
Some include files, mostly types definitions, are missing a few includes
to define the types they're using, causing include ordering dependencies
between files, which are most often not seen due to the alphabetical
order of includes. Let's just fix them.
These were spotted by building pre-compiled headers for all these files
to .h.gch.
Extend "show quic" to be able to dump MUX related information. This is
done via the new function qcc_show_quic(). This replaces the old streams
dumping list which was incomplete.
These info are displayed on full output or by specifying "mux" field.
When a response was returned by HAProxy, a dedicated HTX flag was
set. Thanks to this flag, it was possible to add a "connection: close"
header to the response if the request was not fully received and to close
the connection. In the same way, when a redirect rule was applied,
keep-alive was forcefully disabled for unfinished requests.
All these mechanisms are now useless because the H1 mux is able to drain the
response. So HTX_FL_PROXY_RESP flag is removed and no special processing is
performed on HAProxy response when the request is unfinished.
unlike for H2 and H3, there is no mechanism in H1 to notify the client it
must stop to upload data when a response is replied before the end of the
request without closing the connection. There is no RST_STREAM frame
equivalent.
Thus, there is only two ways to deal with this situation: closing the
connection or draining the request. Until now, HAProxy didn't support
draining H1 messages. Closing the connection in this case has however a
major drawback. It leads to send a TCP reset, dropping this way all in-fly
data. There is no warranty the client has fully received the response.
Draining H1 messages was never implemented because in old versions it was a
bit tricky to implement. However, it is now far simplier to support this
feature because it is possible to have a H1 stream without any applicative
stream. It is the purpose of this patch. Now, when a shutdown is requested
and the stream is detached from the connection, if the request is unfinished
while the response was fully sent, the request in drained.
To do so, in this case the shutdown and the detach are delayed. From the
upper layer point of view, there is no changes. The endpoint is shut down
and detached as usual. But on H1 mux point of view, the H1 stream is still
alive and is being able to drain data. However the stream-endpoint
descriptor is orphan. Once the request is fully received (and drained), the
connection is shut down if it cannot be reused for a new transaction and the
H1 stream is destroyed.
Contrary to static servers, dynamic servers does not initialize their
settings from a default server instance. As such, _srv_parse_init() was
responsible to set a set of minimal values to have a correct behavior.
However, some settings were not properly initialized. This caused
dynamic servers to not behave as static ones without explicit
parameters.
Currently, the main issue detected is connection reuse which was
completely impossible. This is due to incorrect pool_purge_delay and
max_reuse settings incompatible with srv_add_to_idle_list().
To fix the connection reuse, but also more generally to ensure dynamic
servers are aligned with other server instances, define a new function
srv_settings_init(). This is used to set initial values for both default
servers and dynamic servers. For static servers, srv_settings_cpy() is
kept instead, using their default server as reference.
This patch could have unexpected effects on dynamic servers behavior as
it restored proper initial settings. Previously, they were set to 0 via
calloc() invocation from new_server().
This should be backported up to 2.6, after a brief period of
observation.
This patch reverts 2 fixes that were made in an attempt to fix the
ocsp-update feature used with the 'commit ssl cert' command.
The patches crash the worker when doing a soft-stop when the 'set ssl
ocsp-response' command was used, or during runtime if the ocsp-update
was used.
This was reported in issue #2462 and #2442.
The last patch reverted is the associated reg-test.
Revert "BUG/MEDIUM: ssl: Fix crash when calling "update ssl ocsp-response" when an update is ongoing"
This reverts commit 5e66bf26ecbf6439fafc8ef8857abe22e0874f4d.
Revert "BUG/MEDIUM: ocsp: Separate refcount per instance and per store"
This reverts commit 04b77f84d1b52185fc64735d7d81137479d68b00.
Revert "REGTESTS: ssl: Add OCSP related tests"
This reverts commit acd1b85d3442fc58164bd0fb96e72f3d4b501d15.
The trailing NUL added at the end of istdup() by recent commit de0216758
("BUG/MINOR: ist: allocate nul byte on istdup") was placed outside of
the pointer validity test, rightfully showing null deref warnings. This
fix should be backported along with the fix above, to the same versions.
Due to the possibility of calling a control process after adding CRLs, the
ssl_commit_crlfile_cb variable was added. It is actually a pointer to the
callback function, which is called if defined after initial loading of CRL
data from disk and after committing CRL data via CLI command
'commit ssl crl-file ..'.
If the callback function returns an error, then the CLI commit operation
is terminated.
Also, one case was added to the CLI context used by "commit cafile" and
"commit crlfile": CACRL_ST_CRLCB in which the callback function is called.

The issue was decribed in commit "BUG/MEDIUM: cli: Warn if pipelined commands
are delimited by a \n". In non-interactive mode, it was possible to use a
newline character as delimiter for pipelined commands. As a consequence, it was
possible to stop commands processing on the middle.
With the above commit, a warning is emitted to notify users. With this one,
we restore the expected behavior, as documented in the management guide.
Only the first line of commands is parsed. This commit will not be
backported to avoid breaking changes on stable versions.
This commit has of course some visible effects. All script using a newline
character as delimiter to pipeline commands in non-interactive mode will
stop working. Only the first command will be evaluated, all others will be
ignored. Pipelined commands MUST now be separated by a semi-colon.
But there is a more subtle and probably more annoying change. It is no
longer possible to pipeline commands with a payload ! A command with a
payload will always be the last one evaluated because it must be finished by
a newline (eventually preceeded by a custom pattern).
It is really annoying to introduce such breaking change. But, on the long
term, it is mandatory. The 2.8 will be the last LST version supporting the
old behavior (with some warning however). This will let 4 years to users to
adapt their scripts.
No backport needed.
This was broken since commit 0011c25144 ("BUG/MINOR: cli: avoid O(bufsize)
parsing cost on pipelined commands"). It is not really a bug fix but it is
labelled as is to make it more visible.
Before, a full line was first retrieved from the request buffer before
extracting the first command to eval it. Now, only one command is retrieved.
But we rely on the request buffer state to interrupt processing in
non-interactive mode. After a command processing, if output of the request
buffer is empty, we leave. Before the above commit, this was not a problem.
But since then, it is obviously a bad statement. First because some input
data may still be there. It is not true today, but it might change. Then,
there is no warranty to receive all commands in same time. For small list of
commands, it will be most of time the case, but it is a dangerous
assumption. For long list of commands, it is almost always false.
To be an issue, commands must be chunked exactly between two commands. But
in this case, remaining commands are skipped. A good way to reproduce the
issue is to wait a bit between two commands, for instance:
(printf "show info;"; sleep 2; printf "show stat\n") | socat ...
In fact, to properly fix the issue, we should exit on the first command
finished by a newline. Indeed, as stated in the documentation, in
non-interactive mode, a single line is processed. To pipeline commands,
commands must be separated by a semi-colon. Unfortunately, the above commit
introduced another change. It is possible to pipeline commands delimited by
a newline. It was pushed 2 years ago and backported to all stable versions.
Several scripts may rely on this behavior.
So, on stable version, the bug will not be fixed. However a warning will be
emitted to notify users their scripts don't respect the documentation and
they must adapt it. Mainly because the cli behavior on this point will be
changed in 3.0 to stick to the doc. This warning will only be emitted once
over the whole worker process life. Idea is to not flood the logs with the
same warning for every offending commands.
This commit should probably be backported to all stable versions. But with
some cautions because the CLI was often modified.
istdup() is documented as having the same behavior as strdup(). However,
it may cause confusion as it allocates a block of input length, without
an extra byte for \0 delimiter. This behavior is incoherent as in case
of an empty string however a single \0 is allocated.
This API inconsistency could cause a bug anywhere an IST is used as a
C-string after istdup() invocation. Currently, the only found issue is
with 'wait' CLI command using 'srv-unused'. This causes a buffer
overflow due to ist0() invocation after istdup() for be_name and
sv_name.
Backport should be done to all stable releases. Even if no bug has been
found outside of wait CLI implementation, it ensures the code is more
consistent on every releases.
Since 3d6350e10 ("MINOR: log: Remove log-error-via-logformat option"),
PR_O_ERR_LOGFMT flag is not used anymore, but it was left in the proxy-t.h
header file. Simply removing it and adding a comment to indicate that the
corresponding bit is now unused.
This patch is the direct followup of the previous one :
MINOR: quic: remove sendto() usage variant
This finalizes qc_snd_buf() simplification by removing send() syscall
usage for quic-conn owned socket. Syscall invocation is merged in a
single code location to the sendmsg() variant.
The only difference for owned socket is that destination address for
sendmsg() is set to NULL. This usage is documented in man 2 sendmsg as
valid for connected sockets. This allows maximum performance by avoiding
unnecessary lookups on kernel socket address tables.
As the previous patch, no functional change should happen here. However,
it will be simpler to extend qc_snd_buf() for GSO usage.
Add the ability to manually specify desired output type after a custom
field name for logformat nodes. Forcing the type can be useful to ensure
value is stored with the proper type representation. (i.e.: forcing
numerical to string to work around the limited resolution of JS number
types)
By default, type is set to SMP_T_SAME, which means the original type will
be preserved.
Currently supported types are: bool, str, sint
type_to_smp(type) does the reverse operation of smp_to_type[smp]: it takes
a type name as input string and tries to return the corresponding SMP_T_*
smp type or SMP_TYPES if not found.
Add the ability to specify custom name (will be used for representation
in verbose output types such as json) to logformat nodes.
For now, a custom name should be composed by characters [a-zA-Z0-9-_]*
The SE_FL_MAY_FASTFWD_CONS is added and it will be used by endpoints to
announce their support for the zero-copy forwarding on the consumer
side. The flag is not necessarily permanent. However, it will be used this
way for now.
To fix a bug, a flag to announce the capabitlity to support the zero-copy
forwarding on the consumer side will be added on the SE descriptor. So the
old flag SE_FL_MAY_FASTFWD is renamed to indicate it concerns the producer
side. It is now SE_FL_MAY_FASTFWD_PROD. And to prepare addition of the new
flag, the bitfield is a bit reordered.
To fix a bug, some SE flags must be added or renamed. To avoid mixing flags
set by the endpoint and flags set by the app, the second set of flags are
moved at the end of the bitfield, leaving the holes on the middle.
This revert of commit 0b93ff8c87 ("BUG/MEDIUM: stconn: Wake applets on
sending path if there is a pending shutdown") and 9e394d34e0 ("BUG/MINOR:
stconn: Don't report blocked sends during connection establishment") because
it was not the right fixes.
We must not wake an applet up when a shutdown is pending because it means
output some data are still blocked in the channel buffer. The applet does
not necessarily consume these data. In this case, the applet may be woken up
infinitly, except if it explicitly reports it wont consume datay yet.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.8. For older versions, as far as
2.2, it may be backported. If so, a previous fix must be pushed to prevent
an HTTP applet to be stuck. In http_ana.c, in http_end_request() and
http_end_reponse(), the call to channel_htx_truncate() on the request
channel in case of MSG_ERROR must be replace by a call to
channel_htx_erase().
When a READ or a WRITE activity is reported on a channel, the corresponding
date is updated. the last-read-activity date (lra) is updated and the
first-send-block date (fsb) is reset. The event is also reported at the
channel level by setting CF_READ_EVENT or CF_WRITE_EVENT flags. When one of
these flags is set, this prevent the update of the stream's task expiration
date from sc_notify(). It also prevents corresponding timeout to be reported
from process_stream().
But it is a problem during fast-forwarding stage if no expiration date was
set by the stream. Only process_stream() resets these flags. So a first READ
or WRITE event will prevent any stream's expiration date update till a new
call to process_stream(). But with no expiration date, this will only happen
on shutdown/abort event, blocking the stream for a while.
It is for instance possible to block the stats applet or the cli applet if a
client does not consume the response. The stream may be blocked, the client
timeout is not respected and the stream can only be closed on a client
abort.
So now, we update the stream's expiration date, regardless of reported
READ/WRITE events. It is not a big deal because lra and fsb date are
properly updated. It also means an old READ/WRITE event will no prevent the
stream to report a timeout and it is expected too.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.8. On older versions, timeouts and
stream's expiration date are not updated in the same way and this works as
expected.
In fact there is already flags on the SE to state a shutdown for reads or
writes was performed. But for applets, this notion does not exist. Both
flags are set in same time when the applet is released. But at the SC level,
there are functions to perform a shutdown (formely the shutw) and an abort
(formely the shutr). For applets, when a shutdown is performed on the SC, if
the applet is not immediately released, nothing is acknowledge at the SE
level.
With old way to implement applets, this was not an real issue until recently
because applets accessed to the channel/SC flags. It was thus possible to
catch the shutdowns. But the "wait" command on the CLI reveals the
flaw. Indeed, when this command is executed, nothing is read or sent. So, it
is not possible to detect the shutdowns. As a workaround, a dedicated test
on the SC flags was added at the end of the wait command I/O handler. But it
is pretty ugly.
With new way to implement applets, there is no longer access to the channel
or SC. So we must add a way to acknowledge shutdown into the SE.
This patch solves the both sides of the issue. The shutw notion is added for
applets. Its only purpose is to set SE_FL_SHWN flags. This flag is tested by
all applets, so, it solves the issue quite simply.
Note that it is described as a bug fix but there is no real issue, just a
design flaw. However, if the "wait" command is backported, this patch must
be backported too. Unfortinately it will require an adaptation because there
is no appctx flags on older versions.
This case does not exist yet with the H1 multiplexer, but applets may decide to
not produce data if there is not enough room in the destination buffer (the
applet's outbuf or the opposite SE buffer). It is true for the stats applets for
instance. However this case is not properly handled when the zero-copy
forwarding is in-use.
To fix the issue, the se_done_ff() function was modified to return the number of
bytes really forwarded and to subs for sends if nothing was forwarded while the
zero-copy forwarding was blocked by the producer. On the applet side, we take
care to block the zero-copy forwarding if the applet requests more room. At the
end, zero-copy forwarding is unblocked if something was forwarded.
This way, it is now possible for the stats applet to report a full buffer and
block the zero-copy forwarding, even if the buffer is not really full, by
requesting more room.
No backport needed.
An issue was introduced when zero-copy forwarding was added to the stats and
cache applets. There is no test to be sure the upper layer is ready to use
the zero-copy forwarding. So these applets refuse to deliver the response
into the applet's output buffer if the zero-copy forwarding is supported by
the opposite endpoint. It is especially an issue when a filter, like the
compression, is in-use on the response channel.
Because of this bug, the response is not delivered and the applet is woken
up in loop to produce data.
To fix the issue, an appctx flag was added, APPCTX_FL_FASTFWD, to know when
the zero-copy forwarding is in-use. We rely on this flag to not fill the
outbuf in the applet's I/O handler.
No backport needed.
A packet is considered as reordered when it is detected as lost because its packet
number is above the largest acknowledeged packet number by at least the
packet reordering threshold value.
Add ->nb_reordered_pkt new quic_loss struct member at the same location that
the number of lost packets to count such packets.
Should be backported to 2.6.
Let's say that the largest packet number acknowledged by the peer is #10, when inspecting
the non already acknowledged packets to detect if they are lost or not, this is the
case a least if the difference between this largest packet number and and their
packet numbers are bigger or equal to the packet reordering threshold as defined
by the RFC 9002. This latter must not be less than QUIC_LOSS_PACKET_THRESHOLD(3).
Which such a value, packets #7 and oldest are detected as lost if non acknowledged,
contrary to packet number #8 or #9.
So, the packet loss detection is very sensitive to such a network characteristic
where non acknowledged packets are distant from each others by their packet number
differences.
Do not use this static value anymore for the packet reordering threshold which is used
as a criteria to detect packet loss. In place, make it depend on the difference
between the number of the last transmitted packet and the number of the oldest
one among the packet which are still in flight before being inspected to be
deemed as lost.
Add new tune.quic.reorder-ratio setting to apply a ratio in percent to this
dynamic packet reorder threshold.
Should be backported to 2.6.
The CLI command "update ssl ocsp-response" was forcefully removing an
OCSP response from the update tree regardless of whether it used to be
in it beforehand or not. But since the main OCSP upate task works by
removing the entry being currently updated from the update tree and then
reinserting it when the update process is over, it meant that in the CLI
command code we were modifying a structure that was already being used.
These concurrent accesses were not properly locked on the "regular"
update case because it was assumed that once an entry was removed from
the update tree, the update task was the only one able to work on it.
Rather than locking the whole update process, an "updating" flag was
added to the certificate_ocsp in order to prevent the "update ssl
ocsp-response" command from trying to update a response already being
updated.
An easy way to reproduce this crash was to perform two "simultaneous"
calls to "update ssl ocsp-response" on the same certificate. It would
then crash on an eb64_delete call in the main ocsp update task function.
This patch can be backported up to 2.8.
The "wait" command now supports a condition, "srv-unused", which waits
for the designated server to become totally unused, indicating that it
is removable. Upon each wakeup it calls srv_check_for_deletion() to
verify if conditions are met, if not if it's recoverable, or if it's
not recoverable, and proceeds according to this, never waiting for a
final decision longer than the configured delay.
The purpose is to make it possible to remove servers from the CLI after
waiting for their sessions to be terminated:
$ socat -t5 /path/to/socket - <<< "
disable server px/srv1
shutdown sessions server px/srv1
wait 2s srv-unused px/srv1
del server px/srv1"
Or even wait for connections to terminate themselves:
$ socat -t70 /path/to/socket - <<< "
disable server px/srv1
wait 1m srv-unused px/srv1
del server px/srv1"
Conditions will need to have context, arguments etc from the command line.
Since these will vary with time (otherwise we wouldn't wait), let's just
pass them as text (possibly pre-processed). We're starting with 4 strings
that are expected to be allocated by strdup() and are always sent to free()
upon release.
Since we'll support waiting for an action to succeed or permanently
fail, we need the ability to return an unrecoverable failure. Let's
add CLI_WAIT_ERR_FAIL for this. A static error message may be placed
into ctx->msg to report to the user why the failure is unrecoverable.
We'll need to be able to verify whether or not a server may be deleted.
For now, both the verification and the action are performed in the same
function, at once under thread isolation. The goal here is to extract
the verification code into a new function that will perform these checks,
return a status between success/recoverable/non-recoverable failure, and
will also return a message for the caller.
This allows to insert delays between commands, i.e. to collect a same
set of metrics at a fixed interval. E.g:
$ socat -t20 /path/to/socket <<< "show activity; wait 10s; show activity"
The goal will be to extend the feature to optionally support waiting on
certain conditions. For this reason the struct definitions and enums were
placed into cli-t.h.
