Having it in the ifdef complicates certain operations which require
additional ifdefs just to access a member which could remain zero in
non-ssl cases. Let's move it out, it will not even increase the
struct size on 64-bit machines due to alignment.
This one will be set by the transport layers which want to destroy
a bind_conf. It will typically be used by SSL to release certificates,
CAs and so on.
Instead of hard-coding all SSL preparation in cfgparse.c, we now register
this new function as the transport layer's prepare_bind_conf() and call it
only when definied. This removes some non-obvious SSL-specific code from
cfgparse.c as well as a #ifdef.
This one will be set by the transport layers which want to initialize
a bind_conf. It will typically be used by SSL to load certificates, CAs
and so on.
Most of the SSL functions used to have a proxy argument which was mostly
used to be able to emit clean errors using Alert(). First, many of them
were converted to memprintf() and don't require this pointer anymore.
Second, the rare which still need it also have either a bind_conf argument
or a server argument, both of which carry a pointer to the relevant proxy.
So let's now get rid of it, it needlessly complicates the API and certain
functions already have many arguments.
Historically, all listeners have a pointer to the frontend. But since
the introduction of SSL, we now have an intermediary layer called
bind_conf corresponding to a "bind" line. It makes no sense to have
the frontend on each listener given that it's the same for all
listeners belonging to a same bind_conf. Also certain parts like
SSL can only operate on bind_conf and need the frontend.
This patch fixes this by moving the frontend pointer from the listener
to the bind_conf. The extra indirection is quite cheap given and the
places were this is used are very scarce.
A mistake was made when the socket layer was cut into proto and
transport, the transport was attached to the listener while all
listeners in a single "bind" line always have exactly the same
transport. It doesn't seem obvious but this is the reason why there
are so many #ifdefs USE_OPENSSL in cfgparse : a lot of operations
have to be open-coded because cfgparse only manipulates bind_conf
and we don't have the information of the transport layer here.
Very little code makes use of the transport layer, mainly session
setup and log. These places can afford an extra pointer indirection
(the listener points to the bind_conf). This change is thus very small,
it saves a little bit of memory (8B per listener) and makes the code
more flexible.
This finishes to clean up the zlib-specific parts. It also unbreaks recent
commit b97c6fb ("CLEANUP: compression: use the build options list to report
the algos") which broke USE_ZLIB due to MAXWBITS not being defined anymore
in haproxy.c.
We already had alertif_too_many_args{,_idx}(), but these ones are
specifically designed for use in cfgparse. Outside of it we're
trying to avoid calling Alert() all the time so we need an
equivalent using a pointer to an error message.
These new functions called too_many_args{,_idx)() do exactly this.
They don't take the file name nor the line number which they have
no use for but instead they take an optional pointer to an error
message and the pointer to the error code is optional as well.
With (NULL, NULL) they'll simply check the validity and return a
verdict. They are quite convenient for use in isolated keyword
parsers.
These two new functions as well as the previous ones have all been
exported.
We replaced global.deviceatlas with global_deviceatlas since there's no need
to store all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs,
and now the code is 100% self-contained in da.c. The file da.h was now
removed because it was only used to load dac.h, which is more easily
loaded directly from da.c. It provides another good example of how to
integrate code in the future without touching the core parts.
We replaced global._51degrees with global_51degrees since there's no need
to store all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs,
and now the code is 100% self-contained in 51d.c. The file 51d.h was now
removed because it was only used to load 51Degrees.h, which is more easily
loaded from 51d.c. It provides a good example of how to integrate code in
the future without touching the core parts.
We replaced global.wurfl with global_wurfl since there's no need to store
all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs, and now
the code is 100% self-contained in wurfl.c. It provides a good example of
how to integrate code in the future without touching the core parts.
deinit_51degrees() is not called anymore from haproxy.c, removing
2 #ifdefs and one include. The function was made static. The include
file still includes 51Degrees.h which is needed by global.h and 51d.c
so it was not touched beyond this last function removal.
By registering the deinit function we avoid another #ifdef in haproxy.c.
The ha_wurfl_deinit() function has been made static and unexported. Now
proto/wurfl.h is totally empty, the code being self-contained in wurfl.c,
so the useless .h has been removed.
The 3 device detection engines stop at the same place in deinit()
with the usual #ifdefs. Similar to the other functions we can have
some late deinitialization functions. These functions do not return
anything however so we have to use a different type.
Instead of having a #ifdef in the main init code we now use the registered
init functions. Doing so also enables error checking as errors were previously
reported as alerts but ignored. Also they were incorrect as the 'status'
variable was hidden by a second one and was always reporting DA_SYS (which
is apparently an error) in every case including the case where no file was
loaded. The init_deviceatlas() function was unexported since it's not used
outside of this place anymore.
This removes some #ifdefs from the main haproxy code path. Function
init_51degrees() now returns ERR_* instead of exit(1) on error, and
this function was made static and is not exported anymore.
This removes some #ifdefs from the main haproxy code path and enables
error checking. The current code only makes use of warnings even for
some errors that look serious. While this choice is questionnable, it
has been kept as-is, and only the return codes were adapted to ERR_WARN
to at least report that some warnings were emitted. ha_wurfl_init() was
unexported as it's not needed anymore.
Instead of calling the checks directly from the init code, we now
register the start_checks() function to be run at this point. This
also allows to unexport the check init function and to remove one
include from haproxy.c.
There's a significant amount of late initialization calls which are
performed after the point where we exit in check mode. These calls
are used to allocate resource and perform certain slow operations.
Let's have a way to register some functions which need to be called
there instead of having this multitude of #ifdef in the init path.
Many extensions now report some build options to ease debugging, but
this is now being done at the expense of code maintainability. Let's
provide a registration function to do this so that we can start to
remove most of the #ifdefs from haproxy.c (18 currently just for a
single function).
This one now migrates to the general purpose cli.p0 for the ref pointer,
cli.i0 for the dump_all flag and cli.i1 for the dump_keys_index. A few
comments were added.
The applet.h file doesn't depend on openssl anymore. It's worth noting
that the previous dependency was accidental and only used to work because
all files including this one used to have openssl included prior to
loading this file.
This one now migrates to the general purpose cli.p0 for the proxy pointer,
cli.p1 for the server pointer, and cli.i0 for the proxy's instance if only
one has to be dumped.
Most of the keywords don't need to have their own entry in the appctx
union, they just need to reuse some generic pointers like we've been
used to do in the appctx with st{0,1,2}. This patch adds p0, p1, i0, i1
and initializes them to zero before calling the parser. This way some
of the simplest existing keywords will be able to disappear from the
union.
It's worth noting that this is an extension to what was initially
attempted via the "private" member that I removed a few patches ago by
not understanding how it was supposed to be used. Here the fact that
we share the same union will force us to be stricter: the code either
uses the general purpose variables or it uses its own fields but not
both.
The appctx storage became a real mess along the years. It now contains
mostly CLI-specific parts that share the same storage as the "cli" part
which in fact only contains the fields needed to pass an error message
to the caller, and it also has room a few other regular applets which
may become more and more common.
This first patch moves the parts around in the union so that all
standard applet parts are grouped together and the CLI-specific ones
are grouped together. It also adds a few comments to indicate what
certain parts are used for since it's sometimes a bit confusing.
The struct hlua size is 128 bytes. The size is the biggest of all the elements
of the union embedded in the appctx struct. With HTTP2, it is possible that this
appctx struct will be use many times for each connection, so the 128 bytes are
a little bit heavy for the global memory consomation.
This patch replace the embbeded hlua struct by a pointer and an associated memory
pool. Now, the memory for lua is allocated only if it is required.
[wt: the appctx is now down to 160 bytes]
Just like previous patch, this was the only other user of the "private"
field of the applet. It used to store a copy of the keyword's action.
Let's just put it into ->table->action and use it from there. It also
slightly simplifies the code by removing a few pointer to integer casts.
We have very few users of the appctx's private field which was introduced
prior to the split of the CLI. Unfortunately it was not removed after the
end. This commit simply introduces hlua_cli->fcn which is the pointer to
the Lua function that the Lua code used to store in this private pointer.
This problem is already detected here:
8dc7316a6fa8cc6f3a60456376c8a13a6902a5be
Another case raises. Now HAProxy sends a final message (typically
with "http-request deny"). Once the the message is sent, the response
channel flags are not modified.
HAProxy executes a Lua sample-fecthes for building logs, and the
result is ignored because the response flag remains set to the value
HTTP_MSG_RPBEFORE. So the Lua function hlua_check_proto() want to
guarantee the valid state of the buffer and ask for aborting the
request.
The function check_proto() is not the good way to ensure request
consistency. The real question is not "Are the message valid ?", but
"Are the validity of message unchanged ?"
This patch memorize the parser state before entering int the Lua
code, and perform a check when it go out of the Lua code. If the parser
state change for down, the request is aborted because the HTTP message
is degraded.
This patch should be backported in version 1.6 and 1.7
Fixing the build using LibreSSL as OpenSSL implementation.
Currently, LibreSSL 2.4.4 provides the same API of OpenSSL 1.0.1x,
but it redefine the OpenSSL version number as 2.0.x, breaking all
checks with OpenSSL 1.1.x.
The patch solves the issue checking the definition of the symbol
LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER when Openssl 1.1.x features are requested.
When an entity tries to get a buffer, if it cannot be allocted, for example
because the number of buffers which may be allocated per process is limited,
this entity is added in a list (called <buffer_wq>) and wait for an available
buffer.
Historically, the <buffer_wq> list was logically attached to streams because it
were the only entities likely to be added in it. Now, applets can also be
waiting for a free buffer. And with filters, we could imagine to have more other
entities waiting for a buffer. So it make sense to have a generic list.
Anyway, with the current design there is a bug. When an applet failed to get a
buffer, it will wait. But we add the stream attached to the applet in
<buffer_wq>, instead of the applet itself. So when a buffer is available, we
wake up the stream and not the waiting applet. So, it is possible to have
waiting applets and never awakened.
So, now, <buffer_wq> is independant from streams. And we really add the waiting
entity in <buffer_wq>. To be generic, the entity is responsible to define the
callback used to awaken it.
In addition, applets will still request an input buffer when they become
active. But they will not be sleeped anymore if no buffer are available. So this
is the responsibility to the applet I/O handler to check if this buffer is
allocated or not. This way, an applet can decide if this buffer is required or
not and can do additional processing if not.
[wt: backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
A stream can be awakened for different reasons. During its processing, it can be
early stopped if no buffer is available. In this situation, the reason why the
stream was awakened is lost, because we rely on the task state, which is reset
after each processing loop.
In many cases, that's not a big deal. But it can be useful to accumulate the
task states if the stream processing is interrupted, especially if some filters
need to be called.
To be clearer, here is an simple example:
1) A stream is awakened with the reason TASK_WOKEN_MSG.
2) Because no buffer is available, the processing is interrupted, the stream
is back to sleep. And the task state is reset.
3) Some buffers become available, so the stream is awakened with the reason
TASK_WOKEN_RES. At this step, the previous reason (TASK_WOKEN_MSG) is lost.
Now, the task states are saved for a stream and reset only when the stream
processing is not interrupted. The correspoing bitfield represents the pending
events for a stream. And we use this one instead of the task state during the
stream processing.
Note that TASK_WOKEN_TIMER and TASK_WOKEN_RES are always removed because these
events are always handled during the stream processing.
[wt: backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
<run_queue> is used to track the number of task in the run queue and
<run_queue_cur> is a copy used for the reporting purpose. These counters has
been renamed, respectively, <tasks_run_queue> and <tasks_run_queue_cur>. So the
naming is consistent between tasks and applets.
[wt: needed for next fixes, backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
As for tasks, 2 counters has been added to track :
* the total number of applets : nb_applets
* the number of active applets : applets_active_queue
[wt: needed for next fixes, to backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
(http|tcp)-(request|response) action cannot take arguments from the
configuration file. Arguments are useful for executing the action with
a special context.
This patch adds the possibility of passing arguments to an action. It
runs exactly like sample fetches and other Lua wrappers.
Note that this patch implements a 'TODO'.
Commit 5fddab0 ("OPTIM: stream_interface: disable reading when
CF_READ_DONTWAIT is set") improved the connection layer's efficiency
back in 1.5-dev13 by avoiding successive read attempts on an active
FD. But by disabling this on a polled FD, it causes an unpleasant
side effect which is that the FD that was subscribed to polling is
suddenly stopped and may need to be re-enabled once the kernel
starts to slow down on data eviction (eg: saturated server at the
other end, bursty traffic caused by too large maxpollevents).
This behaviour is observable with persistent connections when there
is a large enough connection count so that there's no data in the
early connection and polling is required, because there are then
up to 4 epoll_ctl() calls per request. It's important that the
server is slower than haproxy to cause some delays when reading
response.
The current connection layer as designed in 1.6 with the FD cache
doesn't require this trick anymore, though it still benefits from
it when it saves an FD from being uselessly polled. But compared
to the increased cost of enabling and disabling poll all the time,
it's still better to disable it. In some cases it's possible to
observe a performance increase as high as 30% by avoiding this
epoll_ctl() dance.
In the end we only want to disable it when the FD is speculatively
read and not when it's polled. For this we introduce a new function
__conn_data_done_recv() which is used to indicate that we're done
with recv() and not interested in new attempts. If/when we later
support event-triggered epoll, this function will have to change
a bit to do the same even in the polled case.
A quick test with keep-alive requests run on a dual-core / dual-
thread Atom shows a significant improvement :
single process, 0 bytes :
before: Requests per second: 12243.20 [#/sec] (mean)
after: Requests per second: 13354.54 [#/sec] (mean)
single process, 4k :
before: Requests per second: 9639.81 [#/sec] (mean)
after: Requests per second: 10991.89 [#/sec] (mean)
dual process, 0 bytes (unstable) :
before: Requests per second: 16900-19800 ~ 17600 [#/sec] (mean)
after: Requests per second: 18600-21400 ~ 20500 [#/sec] (mean)
It already returns an empty string when the field is empty, but as a
preventive measure we should do the same when the string itself is a
NULL. While it is not supposed to happen, it will make the code more
resistant against failed allocations and unexpected results.
This fix should be backported to 1.7.
Historically we used to have the stick counters processing put into
session.c which became stream.c. But a big part of it is now in
stick-table.c (eg: converters) but despite this we still have all
the sample fetch functions in stream.c
These parts do not depend on the stream anymore, so let's move the
remaining chunks to stick-table.c and have cleaner files.
What remains in stream.c is everything needed to attach/detach
trackers to the stream and to update the counters while the stream
is being processed.
There's no more reason to keep tcp rules processing inside proto_tcp.c
given that there is nothing in common there except these 3 letters : tcp.
The tcp rules are in fact connection, session and content processing rules.
Let's move them to "tcp-rules" and let them live their life there.
