heartbeat messages are sent to keep a connection active. However, a
heartbeat messages was sent periodically, even if some other messages were
sent during this period. It is not an issue but it is useless. heartbeat
messages should only be sent if nothing was sent to the peer since a
moment. So, in this patch, the heartbeat timer is rearmed each time a message
is sent.
On the receiver side, the reconnect timer was only rearmed when a heartbeat
message was received instead of rearming it for any messages. Again, it is
not an issue because the inactivity is managed with PEER_F_ALIVE flag. This
flag is removed when the reconnect timer timed out but it is reinserted when
something is received. But an periodic wakeup may be uselessly performed.
So, in this patch, the reconnect timer is rearmed each time a message is
received.
Instead of looking for new updates in each updates lists to wake a peer
applet up, we now only detect that some updates should have been inserted by
comparing the date of the last update inserted in the list and the last
update sent to the peer.
It is not 100% accurrate of course. Some extra wakeups may be observed. But
this should not lead to any spinning loop because the operation is performed
by the sync task. This task is woken up when a timeout is fired or when an
update was inserted. However, this saves several loops on the updates lists.
In this patch, the update tree is replaced by a mt-list. It is a huge patch
with several changes. Main ones are in the function sending updates.
By using a list instead of a tree, we loose the order between updates and
the ability to restart for a given update using its id (the key to index
updates in the tree). However, to use the tree, it had to be locked and it
was a cause of contention between threads, leading the watchdog to kill the
process in worst cases. Because the idea it to split the updates by buckets
to divide the contention on updated, the order between updates will be lost
anyway. So, the tree can be replaced by a list. By using a mt-list, we can
also remove the update lock.
To be able to use a list instead of a tree, each peer must save its position
in the list, to be able to process new entries only at each loop. These
marker are "special" sticky session of type STKSESS_UPDT_MARKER. Of course,
these marker are not in any stick-tables but only in updates lists. And only
the ownr of a marker can move it in the list. Each peer owns two markers for
each list (so two markers per shared table). The first one used a start
point for a loop, and the other one used as stop point. The way these marker
are moved in the list is not obvious, especially for the first one.
Updates sent during a full resync are now handled exactly a the same way
than other updates. Only the moment the stop marker is set is different.
Instead of using a boolean to know if an entry in the updates tree is local
or not, an enum is used. This change will be mandatory when updates tree
will be replaced by a list to be able to add markers owned by each peer.
So now a sticky sessin has no type (STKSESS_UPDT_NONE) if it is not in the
updates tree. STKSESS_UPDT_LOCAL is used for local entries and
STKSESS_UPDT_REMOTE for remote ones. STKSESS_UPDT_MARKER is not used for
now.
Now the updates are no longer tracked by stick-table and we are no longer
use their id to detect missed updates, there is no reason to have a matching
between the internal update id in the id used in updated messages.
So, now, for a given peer, id of the last update messages sent is saved in
each shared table and it is incremented when a new message is updated.
ACK messages received by a peer sending updates during a full resync are
ignored. So, on the other side, there is no reason to still send these ACK
messages. Let's skip them.
This patch is quite small but the change is really important. Thanks to the
previous patch, we can use PEER_F_SYNCHED flag to know if a peer is
synchronized or not. So instead of tracking last ack messages for each table
to be able to restart at a given point when the peer reconnects, we decided
to restart from the begining if a peer is not synchronized when a new
connection is established.
So, it is a huge change because, on reconnect, instead of pushing some
missed updates, all local updates are pushed again. Most of time, it is not
a problem because nowadays, connection are quite stable, especially because
a heartbeat message is sent to keep it active. The only drawback is when a
peer is restarted. In that case, we have no way to know it is synchronized
because he learned table contents from it old local peer.
This change is mandatory. First to replace the update tree by a mt-list and
remove the update lock. Then to split this list by buckets to reduce
contention.
Info about the last update message sent are now saved for each peer. The
shared-table and the update message id are saved. These information are used
when a ack message is received to know if it matches the last update message
sent. When this matches, we are sure the peer as received all updates sent
and is synchronized. This information is saved thanks to the flag
PEER_F_SYNCHED.
So, at any time, we know if a peer is synchronized or not.
Trace messages for peers were only protocol oriented and information
provided were quite light. With this patch, the traces were
improved. information about the peer, its applet and the section are
dumped. Several verbosities are now available and messages are dumped at
different levels depending on the context. It should easier to track issues
in the peers.
1xx informational messages are part of the HTTP response. It is not expected
to have a HX_FL_EOM flag set after parsing such messages when received from
a server. It is espacially important whne an informational messages is
processed on client side while the final response was not recieved yet, to
not erroneously detect the end of the message.
The HTTP multiplexers seem to ignore the HTX_FL_EOM flag for information
messages, but it remains an error from the HTX specification point of
view. So it must be fixed.
While it should theorically be backported as far as 3.0, it is a good idea
to not do so for now because no bug was reported and regressions may happen.
stktable_trash_oldest() goes through all the shards, trying to free a
number of entries. Going through each shard is expensive, as we have to
take the shard lock, so stop as soon as we free'd at least one entry, as
it is only called when we want to make room for one entry.
In stksess_new(), if the table is full, we call stktable_trash_oldest()
to remove a few entries so that we have some room for a new one.
It is unlikely, but possible, that stktable_trash_oldest() will fail. If
so, just give up and do not add the new entry, instead of adding it
anyway.
Give up if stktable_trash_oldest() fails to free any entry
Instead of having per-table expiration tasks, just use one per shard.
The task will now go through all the tables to expire entries. When a
table gets an expiration earlier than the one previously known, it will
be put in a mt-list, and the task will be responsible to put it into an
eb32, ordered based on the next expiration.
Each per-shard task will run on a different thread, so it should lead to
a better load distribution than the per-table tasks.
Add a new initcall stage, STG_INIT_2, for stuff to be called after
step_init_2() is called, so after we know for sure that global.nbthread
will be set.
Modify stick-tables stkt_late_init() to run at STG_INIT_2 instead of
STG_INIT, in anticipation for it to be enhanced and have a need for
global.nbthread.
Since commit 20ec1de214 ("MAJOR: cli: Refacor parsing and execution of
pipelined commands"), command not returning any response (e.g. "quit")
don't pass through the free_trash_chunk() call, possibly leaking the
cmdline buffer. A typical way to reproduce it is to loop on "quit" on
the CLI, though it very likely affects other specific commands.
Let's make sure in the release handler that we always release that
chunk in any case. This must be backported to 3.2.
This bug impacts only the backends.
The ->conn (pointer to struct connection) member validity of the ssl_sock_ctx
struct was not checked before being dereferenced, leading to possible crashes
in qc_ssl_do_hanshake() during handshake.
This was reported by GH #3163 issue.
No need to backport because the QUIC backend support arrived with 3.3
In mt_list_delete(), if the element was not in a list, then n and p will
point to it, and so setting n->prev and n->next will be enough to unlock it.
Don't do it twice, as once it's been done the first time, another thread may
be working with it, and may have added it to a list already, and doing it
a second time can lead to list inconsistencies.
This should be backported up to 2.8.

- REGTESTS: remove experimental from quic/retry.vtc
Recent commit 8b7a82cd30 ("MEDIUM: config: warn when
expose-experimental-directives is used for no reason") triggered on
this test exactly for the reason it was made for. The tests were just
done without quic on it. Let's drop the unneeded option.
Thread groups can be assigned arbitrary thread ranges, but if the
mentioned threads do not exist, this causes crashes in listener_accept()
or some connections to be ignored. The reason is that the calculated
mask is derived from the thread group's enabled threads count. Examples:
global
nbthread 2
thread-groups 2
thread-group 1 1-64
thread-group 2 65-128
frontend f-crash
bind :8001 thread 1/all
frontend f-freeze
bind :8002 thread 2/all
This commit removes missing threads, emits a warning when the thread
group just has less threads than requested, and an error when it is
left with no threads at all.
This must be backported to 3.1 since the issue is present there already.
If users start to enable expose-experimental-directives for the purpose
of testing one specific feature, there are chances that the option remains
forever and hides the experimental status of other options.
Let's emit a warning if the option appears and is not used. This will
remind users that they can now drop it, and help keep configs safe for
future upgrades.
We normally taint the process when using experimental directives, but
a handful of places were missed so we don't always know that they are
in use. Let's fix these places (hint for future directives, just look
for places checking for "experimental_directives_allowed", and add
"mark_tainted(TAINTED_CONFIG_EXP_KW_DECLARED);").
The option was turned to off by default in 2.8 with commit 2f7c82bfd
("BUG/MINOR: haproxy: Fix option to disable the fast-forward"), however
at the same time it should have dropped its experimental status since
the feature is enabled by default. The only goal of the option is to
debug something, like many other tune.xxx options. The option should
still normally not be used without being invited to do so by developers
looking for something specific though.
This could be backported if desired to simplify debugging, though this
has never been needed for now.
Certain features require "expose-experimental-directives" to be set in
the global section. Let's clarify that experimental featuers are only
maintained in best effort mode, may break during the stable cycle, and
are generally not maintained beyond the release of the next LTS branch
since it is extremely challenging, and early adopters are expected to
upgrade to benefit from improvements anyway.
The SSL counters were not handled at all for QUIC connections. This patch
implement ssl_sock_update_counters() extracting the code from ssl_sock.c
and call this function where applicable both in TLS/TCP and QUIC parts.
Must be backported as far as 2.8.
This bug impacts only the backends.
When entering the closing state, a quic_closed_conn is used to replace the quic_conn.
In this state, the ->fd value was reset to -1 value calling qc_init_fd(). This value
is used by qc_may_use_saddr() which supposes it cannot be -1 for a backend, leading
->li to be dereferencd, which is legal only for a listener.
This bug impacts only the backend but with possible crash when qc_may_use_saddr()
is called: qc_test_fd() is false leading qc->li to be dereferenced. This is legal
only for a listener.
This patch prevents such fd value resettings for backends.
No need to backport because the QUIC backends support arrived with 3.3.
A quic_conn_closed struct is initialized to replace the quic_conn when the
connection enters the closing to reduce the connection memory footprint.
->max_udp_payload quic_conn_close was not initialized leading to possible
BUG_ON()s in qc_rcv_buf() when comparing the RX buf size to this payload.
->cntrs counters were alon not initialized with the only consequence
to generate wrong values for these counters.
Must be backported as far as 2.9.
Emeric reported that he can't build haproxy anymore since 9bc6a034

Indeed the mentionned patch is checking the pointer in order to free
something freeable, but that can't work because these constant are
strings literal which can be passed from the compiler and not pointers.
Also the test is not useful, because these strings are strdup() in
__ssl_sock_init, so they can be free directly.
Must be backported in every stable branches with 9bc6a034.
Fix quic_tx unittest module by adding an explicit define for <mtu> const
member of quic_cc_path.
This should fix coverity report from github issue #3162.
This can be backported up to 3.2.
Ensure applet_putchk() return value is checked when outputing via the
CLI 'show quic' header line.
This is only to align with other usages of the same function, as trash
output buffer should always be large enough for it. As such, the command
is simply aborted if this is not the case.
This should fix coverity report from github issue #3139.
This could be backported up to 2.8.
In stksess_new(), if we failed to allocate memory for the new stksess,
don't forget to decrement the table entry count, as nobody else will
do it for us.
An artificially high count could lead to at least purging entries while
there is no need to.
This should be backported up to 2.8.
WIP decrement current on allocation failure
A subtle regression was introduced in 3.0 by commit faa8c3e02 ("MEDIUM:
lb-chash: Deterministic node hashes based on server address"). When keys
are calculated from the server's ID (which is the default), due to the
reorganisation of the code, the key ended up being hashed twice instead
of being multiplied by the scaling range.
While most users will never notice it, it is blocking some large cache
users from upgrading from 2.8 to 3.0 or 3.2 because the keys are
redistributed.
After a check with users on the mailing list [1] it was estimated that
keep the current situation is the worst choice because those who have
not yet upgraded will face the problem while by fixing it, those who
already have and for whom it happened smoothly will handle it just
right again.
As such this fix must be backported to 3.0 without waiting (in order
to preserve those who upgrade from two redistributions). Please note
that only configurations featuring "hash-type consistent" and not
having "hash-key" present with a value other than "id" are affected,
others are not (e.g. "hash-key addr" is unaffected).

With the fix in commit 982805e6a3 ("BUG/MINOR: pools: Fix the dump of
pools info to deal with buffers limitations"), the max count is now
compared to the number of dumped pools instead of the configured
numbered, and keeping >= is no longer valid because maxcnt is set by
default to the same value when not set, so this means that since this
patch we're always displaying "limited to the first X entries" where X
is the number of dumped entries even in the absence of any limitation.
Let's just fix the comparison to only show this when the limit is lower.
This must be backported to 3.2 where the patch above already is.
The truncation of pools output that was adressed in commit 982805e6a3
("BUG/MINOR: pools: Fix the dump of pools info to deal with buffers
limitations") required to split the pools filling from dumping. However
there is a problem when a limit is passed that is lower than the number
of pools or if a pool name is specified or if pool caches are disabled,
because in this case the number of filled slots will be lower than the
initially allocated one, and empty entries will be visited either by the
sort functions when filling the entries if "byxxx" is specified, or by
the dump function after the last entry, but none of these functions was
expecting to be passed a NULL entry.
Let's just re-adjust nbpools to match the number of filled entries at
the end. Anyway the totals are calculated on the number of dumped
entries.
This must be backported to 3.2 since the fix above was backported there
as well.
The third parameter passed to b_quic_dec_int() is unitialized. This is not a bug.
But this disturbs coverity for an unknown reason as revealed by GH issue #3154.
This patch takes the opportunity to use NULL as passed value to avoid using such
an uneeded third parameter.
Should be backported to 3.2 where this unit test was introduced.
