Add a list of proxies for all the stick-tables (->proxies_list struct stktable
member) so that to be able to compute the process bindings of the peers after having
parsed the configuration file.
The proxies are added to the stick-tables they reference when parsing
stick-tables lines in proxy sections, when checking the actions in
check_trk_action() and when resolving samples args for stick-tables
without checking is they are duplicates. We check only there is no loop.
Then, after having parsed everything, we add the proxy bindings to the
peers frontend bindings with stick-tables they reference.
This patch adds the support for the "table" line parsing in "peers" sections
to declare stick-table in such sections. This also prevents the user from having
to declare dummy backends sections with a unique stick-table inside.
Even if still supported, this usage will become deprecated.
To do so, the ->table member of proxy struct which is a stktable struct is replaced
by a pointer to a stktable struct allocated at parsing time in src/cfgparse-listen.c
for the dummy stick-table backends and in src/cfgparse.c for "peers" sections.
This has an impact on the code for stick-table sample converters and on the stickiness
rules parsers which first store the name of the dummy before resolving the rules.
This patch replaces proxy_tbl_by_name() calls by stktable_find_by_name() calls
to lookup for stick-tables stored in "stktable_by_name" ebtree at parsing time.
There is only one remaining place where proxy_tbl_by_name() is used: src/hlua.c.
At several places in the code we relied on the fact that ->size member of stick-table
was equal to zero to consider the stick-table was present by not configured,
this do not make sense anymore as ->table member of struct proxyis fow now on a pointer.
These tests are replaced by a test on ->table value itself.
In "peers" section we do not have to temporary store the name of the section the
stick-table are attached to because this name is obviously already known just after
having entered this "peers" section.
About the CLI stick-table I/O handler, the pointer to proxy struct is replaced by
a pointer to a stktable struct.
The 'do-resolve' action is an http-request or tcp-request content action
which allows to run DNS resolution at run time in HAProxy.
The name to be resolved can be picked up in the request sent by the
client and the result of the resolution is stored in a variable.
The time the resolution is being performed, the request is on pause.
If the resolution can't provide a suitable result, then the variable
will be empty. It's up to the admin to take decisions based on this
statement (return 503 to prevent loops).
Read carefully the documentation concerning this feature, to ensure your
setup is secure and safe to be used in production.
This patch creates a global counter to track various errors reported by
the action 'do-resolve'.
Stick and track-sc rules may optionally designate a table in a different
proxy. In this case, a number of verifications are made such as validating
that this proxy actually exists. However, in multi-process mode, the target
table might indeed exist but not be bound to the set of processes the rules
will execute on. This will definitely result in a random behaviour especially
if these tables do require peer synchronization, because some tasks will be
started to try to synchronize form uninitialized areas.
The typical issue looks like this :
peers my-peers
peer foo ...
listen proxy
bind-process 1
stick on src table ip
...
backend ip
bind-process 2
stick-table type ip size 1k peers my-peers
While it appears obvious that the example above will not work, there are
less obvious situations, such as having bind-process in a defaults section
and having a larger set of processes for the referencing proxy than the
referenced one.
The present patch adds checks for such situations by verifying that all
processes from the referencing proxy are present on the other one in all
track-sc* and stick-* rules, and in sample fetch / converters referencing
another table so that sc_inc_gpc0() and similar are safe as well.
This fix must be backported to all maintained versions. It may potentially
disrupt configurations which already randomly crash. There hardly is any
intermediary solution though, such configurations need to be fixed.
