This change is only significant for the multiplexer part. For the applets,
the context and the endpoint are the same. Thus, there is no much change. For
the multiplexer part, the connection was used to set the conn-stream
endpoint and the mux's stream was the context. But it is a bit strange
because once a mux is installed, it takes over the connection. In a
wonderful world, the connection should be totally hidden behind the mux. The
stream-interface and, in a lesser extent, the stream, still access the
connection because that was inherited from the pre-multiplexer era.
Now, the conn-stream endpoint is the mux's stream (an opaque entity for the
conn-stream) and the connection is the context. Dedicated functions have
been added to attached an applet or a mux to a conn-stream.
The appctx owner is now always a conn-stream. Thus, it can be set during the
appctx allocation. But, to do so, the conn-stream must be created first. It
is not a problem on the server side because the conn-stream is created with
the stream. On the client side, we must take care to create the conn-stream
first.
This change should ease other changes about the applets bootstrapping.
Previous uses of `ist.cocci` did not add `--include-headers-for-types` and
`--recursive-includes` preventing Coccinelle seeing `struct ist` members of
other structs.
Reapply the patch with proper flags to further clean up the use of the ist API.
The command used was:
spatch -sp_file dev/coccinelle/ist.cocci -in_place --include-headers --include-headers-for-types --recursive-includes --dir src/
The appctx owner is not a stream-interface anymore. It is now a
conn-stream. However, sink code was not updated accordingly. It is now
fixed.
It is 2.6-specific, no backport is needed.
Thanks to all previous changes, it is now possible to move the
stream-interface into the conn-stream. To do so, some SI functions are
removed and their conn-stream counterparts are added. In addition, the
conn-stream is now responsible to create and release the
stream-interface. While the stream-interfaces were inlined in the stream
structure, there is now a pointer in the conn-stream. stream-interfaces are
now dynamically allocated. Thus a dedicated pool is added. It is a temporary
change because, at the end, the stream-interface structure will most
probably disappear.
To be able to move the stream-interface from the stream to the conn-stream,
all access to the SI is done via the conn-stream. This patch is limited to
the sink part.
In the same way the conn-stream has a pointer to the stream endpoint , this
patch adds a pointer to the application entity in the conn-stream
structure. For now, it is a stream or a health-check. It is mandatory to
merge the stream-interface with the conn-stream.
Thanks to previous changes, it is now possible to set an appctx as endpoint
for a conn-stream. This means the appctx is no longer linked to the
stream-interface but to the conn-stream. Thus, a pointer to the conn-stream
is explicitly stored in the stream-interface. The endpoint (connection or
appctx) can be retrieved via the conn-stream.
In the release callback, ctx.peers was used instead of ctx.sft. Concretly,
it is not an issue because the appctx context is an union and these both
fields are structures with a unique pointer. But it will be a problem if
that changes.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.2.
We'll need to improve the API to pass other arguments in the future, so
let's start to adapt better to the current use cases. task_new() is used:
- 18 times as task_new(tid_bit)
- 18 times as task_new(MAX_THREADS_MASK)
- 2 times with a single bit (in a loop)
- 1 in the debug code that uses a mask
This patch provides 3 new functions to achieve this:
- task_new_here() to create a task on the calling thread
- task_new_anywhere() to create a task to be run anywhere
- task_new_on() to create a task to run on a specific thread
The change is trivial and will allow us to later concentrate the
required adaptations to these 3 functions only. It's still possible
to call task_new() if needed but a comment was added to encourage the
use of the new ones instead. The debug code was not changed and still
uses it.
appctx_new() is exclusively called with tid_bit and it only uses the
mask to pass it to the accompanying task. There is no point requiring
the caller to know about a mask there, nor is there any point in
creating an applet outside of the context of its own thread anyway.
Let's drop this and pass tid_bit to task_new() directly.
To avoid repeating the same source code, allocating memory and initializing
the per_thr field from the server structure is transferred to a separate
function.
Lots of places iterating over nbproc or comparing with nbproc could be
simplified. Further, "bind-process" and "process" parsing that was
already limited to process 1 or "all" or "odd" resulted in a bind_proc
field that was either 0 or 1 during the init phase and later always 1.
All the checks for compatibilities were removed since it's not possible
anymore to run a frontend and a backend on different processes or to
have peers and stick-tables bound on different ones. This is the largest
part of this patch.
The bind_proc field was removed from both the proxy and the receiver
structs.
Since the "process" and "bind-process" directives are still parsed,
configs making use of correct values allowing process 1 will continue
to work.
There were 102 CLI commands whose help were zig-zagging all along the dump
making them unreadable. This patch realigns all these messages so that the
command now uses up to 40 characters before the delimiting colon. About a
third of the commands did not correctly list their arguments which were
added after the first version, so they were all updated. Some abuses of
the term "id" were fixed to use a more explanatory term. The
"set ssl ocsp-response" command was not listed because it lacked a help
message, this was fixed as well. The deprecated enable/disable commands
for agent/health/server were prominently written as deprecated. Whenever
possible, clearer explanations were provided.
The current "ADD" vs "ADDQ" is confusing because when thinking in terms
of appending at the end of a list, "ADD" naturally comes to mind, but
here it does the opposite, it inserts. Several times already it's been
incorrectly used where ADDQ was expected, the latest of which was a
fortunate accident explained in 6fa922562 ("CLEANUP: stream: explain
why we queue the stream at the head of the server list").
Let's use more explicit (but slightly longer) names now:
LIST_ADD -> LIST_INSERT
LIST_ADDQ -> LIST_APPEND
LIST_ADDED -> LIST_INLIST
LIST_DEL -> LIST_DELETE
The same is true for MT_LISTs, including their "TRY" variant.
LIST_DEL_INIT keeps its short name to encourage to use it instead of the
lazier LIST_DELETE which is often less safe.
The change is large (~674 non-comment entries) but is mechanical enough
to remain safe. No permutation was performed, so any out-of-tree code
can easily map older names to new ones.
The list doc was updated.
This patch replaces roughly all occurrences of an HA_ATOMIC_ADD(&foo, 1)
or HA_ATOMIC_SUB(&foo, 1) with the equivalent HA_ATOMIC_INC(&foo) and
HA_ATOMIC_DEC(&foo) respectively. These are 507 changes over 45 files.
An explicit stream address prefix such as "tcp6@" "tcp4@"
"stream+ipv6@" "stream+ipv4@" or "stream+unix@" will
allocate an implicit ring buffer with a forward server
targeting the given address.
This is usefull to simply send logs to a log server in tcp
and It doesn't need to declare a ring section in configuration.
This patch registers the parsed file and the line where a log server
is declared to make those information available in configuration
post check.
Those new informations were added on error messages probed resolving
ring names on post configuration check.
Modify the API of parse_server function. Use flags to describe the type
of the parsed server instead of discrete arguments. These flags can be
used to specify if a server/default-server/server-template is parsed.
Additional parameters are also specified (parsing of the address
required, resolve of a name must be done immediately).
It is now unneeded to use strcmp on args[0] in parse_server. Also, the
calls to parse_server are more explicit thanks to the flags.
It's been too short for quite a while now and is now full. It's still
time to extend it to 32-bits since we have room for this without
wasting any space, so we now gained 16 new bits for future flags.
The values were not reassigned just in case there would be a few
hidden u16 or short somewhere in which these flags are placed (as
it used to be the case with stream->pending_events).
The patch is tagged MEDIUM because this required to update the task's
process() prototype to use an int instead of a short, that's quite a
bunch of places.
This makes the code more readable and less prone to copy-paste errors.
In addition, it allows to place some __builtin_constant_p() predicates
to trigger a link-time error in case the compiler knows that the freed
area is constant. It will also produce compile-time error if trying to
free something that is not a regular pointer (e.g. a function).
The DEBUG_MEM_STATS macro now also defines an instance for ha_free()
so that all these calls can be checked.
178 occurrences were converted. The vast majority of them were handled
by the following Coccinelle script, some slightly refined to better deal
with "&*x" or with long lines:
@ rule @
expression E;
@@
- free(E);
- E = NULL;
+ ha_free(&E);
It was verified that the resulting code is the same, more or less a
handful of cases where the compiler optimized slightly differently
the temporary variable that holds the copy of the pointer.
A non-negligible amount of {free(str);str=NULL;str_len=0;} are still
present in the config part (mostly header names in proxies). These
ones should also be cleaned for the same reasons, and probably be
turned into ist strings.
This patch fixes GitHub issue #1023.
The function was introduced in commit 99c453d ("MEDIUM: ring: new
section ring to declare custom ring buffers."), which first appeared
in 2.2-dev9. The fix should be backported to 2.2+.
It is now possible to set the buffer used by the channel request buffer when
a stream is created. It may be useful if input data are already received,
instead of waiting the first call to the mux rcv_buf() callback. This change
is mandatory to support H1 connection with no stream attached.
For now, the multiplexers don't pass any buffer. BUF_NULL is thus used to
call stream_create_from_cs().
If the session is not established, the applet handler could leave
with the applet detached from the ring. At next call, the attach
counter will be decreased again causing unpredectable behavior.
This patch should be backported on branches >=2.2
Since 2.3 default local log format always adds hostame field.
This behavior change was due to log/sink re-work, because according
to rfc3164 the hostname field is mandatory.
This patch re-introduce a legacy "local" format which is analog
to rfc3164 but with hostname stripped. This is the new
default if logs are generated by haproxy.
To stay compliant with previous configurations, the option
"log-send-hostname" acts as if the default format is switched
to rfc3164.
This patch addresses the github issue #963
This patch should be backported in branches >= 2.3.
Return ERR_NONE instead of 0 on success for all config callbacks that should
return ERR_* codes. There is no change because ERR_NONE is a macro equals to
0. But this makes the return value more explicit.
Roughly half of the calls to sockadr_alloc() are made to copy an already
known address. Let's optionally pass it in argument so that the function
can handle the copy at the same time, this slightly simplifies its usage.
Reported github issue #759 shows there is no name resolving
on server lines for ring and peers sections.
This patch introduce the resolving for those lines.
This patch adds boolean a parameter to parse_server function to specify
if we want the function to perform an initial name resolving using libc.
This boolean is forced to true in case of peers or ring section.
The boolean is kept to false in case of classic servers (from
backend/listen)
This patch should be backported in branches where peers sections
support 'server' lines.
Log forwarding:
It is possible to declare one or multiple log forwarding section,
haproxy will forward all received log messages to a log servers list.
log-forward <name>
Creates a new log forwarder proxy identified as <name>.
bind <addr> [param*]
Used to configure a log udp listener to receive messages to forward.
Only udp listeners are allowed, address must be prefixed using
'udp@', 'udp4@' or 'udp6@'. This supports for all "bind" parameters
found in 5.1 paragraph but most of them are irrelevant for udp/syslog case.
log global
log <address> [len <length>] [format <format>] [sample <ranges>:<smp_size>]
<facility> [<level> [<minlevel>]]
Used to configure target log servers. See more details on proxies
documentation.
If no format specified, haproxy tries to keep the incoming log format.
Configured facility is ignored, except if incoming message does not
present a facility but one is mandatory on the outgoing format.
If there is no timestamp available in the input format, but the field
exists in output format, haproxy will use the local date.
Example:
global
log stderr format iso local7
ring myring
description "My local buffer"
format rfc5424
maxlen 1200
size 32764
timeout connect 5s
timeout server 10s
# syslog tcp server
server mysyslogsrv 127.0.0.1:514 log-proto octet-count
log-forward sylog-loadb
bind udp4@127.0.0.1:1514
# all messages on stderr
log global
# all messages on local tcp syslog server
log ring@myring local0
# load balance messages on 4 udp syslog servers
log 127.0.0.1:10001 sample 1:4 local0
log 127.0.0.1:10002 sample 2:4 local0
log 127.0.0.1:10003 sample 3:4 local0
log 127.0.0.1:10004 sample 4:4 local0
This patch merges build message code between sink and log
and introduce a new API based on struct ist array to
prepare message header with zero copy, targeting the
log forwarding feature.
Log format 'iso' and 'timed' are now avalaible on logs line.
A new log format 'priority' is also added.
The function timeofday_as_iso_us adds now the trailing local timezone offset.
Doing this the function could be use directly to generate rfc5424 logs.
It affects content of a ring if the ring's format is set to 'iso' and 'timed'.
Note: the default ring 'buf0' is of type 'timed'.
It is preferable NOT to backport this to stable releases unless bugs are
reported, because while the previous format is not correct and the new
one is correct, there is a small risk to cause inconsistencies in log
format to some users who would not expect such a change in a stable
cycle.
This patch fixes all the leftovers from the include cleanup campaign. There
were not that many (~400 entries in ~150 files) but it was definitely worth
doing it as it revealed a few duplicates.
Most of the files dealing with error reports have to include log.h in order
to access ha_alert(), ha_warning() etc. But while these functions don't
depend on anything, log.h depends on a lot of stuff because it deals with
log-formats and samples. As a result it's impossible not to embark long
dependencies when using ha_warning() or qfprintf().
This patch moves these low-level functions to errors.h, which already
defines the error codes used at the same places. About half of the users
of log.h could be adjusted, sometimes revealing other issues such as
missing tools.h. Interestingly the total preprocessed size shrunk by
4%.
There's no point splitting the file in two since only cfgparse uses the
types defined there. A few call places were updated and cleaned up. All
of them were in C files which register keywords.
There is nothing left in common/ now so this directory must not be used
anymore.
The current state of the logging is a real mess. The main problem is
that almost all files include log.h just in order to have access to
the alert/warning functions like ha_alert() etc, and don't care about
logs. But log.h also deals with real logging as well as log-format and
depends on stream.h and various other things. As such it forces a few
heavy files like stream.h to be loaded early and to hide missing
dependencies depending where it's loaded. Among the missing ones is
syslog.h which was often automatically included resulting in no less
than 3 users missing it.
Among 76 users, only 5 could be removed, and probably 70 don't need the
full set of dependencies.
A good approach would consist in splitting that file in 3 parts:
- one for error output ("errors" ?).
- one for log_format processing
- and one for actual logging.
Almost no change except moving the cli_kw struct definition after the
defines. Almost all users had both types&proto included, which is not
surprizing since this code is old and it used to be the norm a decade
ago. These places were cleaned.
The sink files could be moved with almost no change at since they
didn't rely on anything fancy. ssize_t required sys/types.h and
thread.h was needed for the locks.
This one is included almost everywhere and used to rely on a few other
.h that are not needed (unistd, stdlib, standard.h). It could possibly
make sense to split it into multiple parts to distinguish operations
performed on timers and the internal time accounting, but at this point
it does not appear much important.
Half of the users of this include only need the type definitions and
not the manipulation macros nor the inline functions. Moves the various
types into mini-clist-t.h makes the files cleaner. The other one had all
its includes grouped at the top. A few files continued to reference it
without using it and were cleaned.
In addition it was about time that we'd rename that file, it's not
"mini" anymore and contains a bit more than just circular lists.
Fortunately that file wasn't made dependent upon haproxy since it was
integrated, better isolate it before it's too late. Its dependency on
api.h was the result of the change from config.h, which in turn wasn't
correct. It was changed back to stddef.h for size_t and sys/types.h for
ssize_t. The recently added reference to MAX() was changed as it was
placed only to avoid a zero length in the non-free-standing version and
was causing a build warning in the hpack encoder.
