Even if `unique_id` and `s->unique_id` are identical it is a bit odd to
`isttest()` `unique_id` and then use `s->unique_id` in the call to `http_add_header()`.
This "issue" was introduced in a17e66289c,
because before that commit the function returned the length of the ID, as it
was not an ist.
It is just a helper function that call the .init applet callback function,
if it exists. This will simplify a bit the init stage when a new applet is
started. For now, this callback function is only used when a new service is
started.
The session created for frontend applets is now totally owns by the
corresponding appctx. It means the appctx is now responsible to release
it. This removes the hack in stream_free() about frontend applets to be sure
to release the session.
This one is the pointer to the conn_stream which is always in the
endpoint that is always present in the appctx, thus it's not needed.
This patch removes it and replaces it with appctx_cs() instead. A
few occurences that were using __cs_strm(appctx->owner) were moved
directly to appctx_strm() which does the equivalent.
This one has been misused for a while as well, it's time to deprecate it
since we don't use it anymore. It will be removed in 2.7 and for now is
only marked as deprecated. Since we need to guarantee that it's zeroed
before starting any applet or CLI command, it was moved into an anonymous
union where its sibling is not marked as deprecated so that we can
continue to initialize it without triggering a warning.
If you found this commit after a bisect session you initiated to figure
why you got some build warnings and don't know what to do, have a look
at the code that deals with the "show fd", "show sess" or "show servers"
commands, as it's supposed to be self-explanatory about the tiny changes
to apply to your code to port it. If you find APPLET_MAX_SVCCTX to be
too small for your use case, either kindly ask for a tiny extension
(and try to get your code merged), or just use a pool.
The state was a constant, let's remove what remains of the switch/case.
The code from the "case" statement was only reindented as can be checked
with "git show -b".
This state is only an alias for "thr >= global.nbthread" which is the
sole condition that indicates the end and reaches it. Let's just drop
this state. There's only the STATE_LIST that's left.
This state was only used to preset the list element. Now that we can
guarantee that the context can be properly preset during the parsing
we don't need this state anymore. The first pointer has to be set to
point to the first stream during the initial call which is detected
by the pointer not yet being set (null). Thanks to this we can also
remove one state check on the abort path.
This makes use of the generic command context allocation so that the
appctx doesn't have to declare a specific one anymore. The context is
created during parsing.
There were plenty of leftovers from old code that were never removed
and that are not needed at all since these files do not use any
definition depending on fcntl.h, let's drop them.
A conn-stream is never detached from an endpoint or an application alone,
except on a reset. Thus, to avoid any error, these functions are now
private. And cs_destroy() function is added to destroy a conn-stream. This
function is called when a stream is released, on the front and back
conn-streams, and when a health-check is finished.
When a client abort is detected with the server conn-stream in CS_ST_INI
state, there is no reason to detach the endpoing because we know there is no
endpoint attached to this conn-stream. This patch depends on the commit
"BUG/MEDIUM: conn-stream: Set back CS to RDY state when the appctx is
created".
Since the recent changes about the conn-streams, the stream dump in "show
sess all" command is a bit mangled. front and back conn-stream are now
properly displayed (csf and csb). In addition, when there is no backend
endpoint, "APPCTX" was always reported. Now, "NONE" is reported in this
case.
It is 2.6-specific. No backport needed.
Github issue #472 reports a problem with short client connections making
stick-table entries disappear. The problem is in fact totally different
and stems at the connection establishment step.
What happens is that the stick-table there has a single entry. The
"stick-on" directive is forced to purge an existing entry before being
able to create a new one. The new entry will be committed during the
call to process_store_rules() on the response path.
But if the client sends the FIN immediately after the connection is set
up (e.g. using nc -z) then the SHUTR is received and will cancel the
connection setup just after it starts. This cancellation will induce a
call to cs_shutw() which will in turn leave the server-side state in
ST_DIS. This transition from ST_CON to ST_DIS doesn't belong to the
list of handled transition during the connection setup so it will be
handled right after on the regular path, causing the connection to be
closed. Because of this, we never pass through back_establish() and
the backend's analysers are never set on the response channel, which
is why process_store_rules() is not called and the stick-tables entry
never committed.
The comment above the code that causes this transition clearly says
that the function is to be used after the connection is established
with the server, but there's no such protection, and we always have
the AUTO_CLOSE flag there (but there's hardly any available condition
to eliminate it).
This patch adds a test for the connection not being in ST_CON or for
option abortonclose being set. It's sufficient to do the job and it
should not cause issues.
One concern was that the transition could happen during cs_recv()
after the connection switches from CON to RDY then the read0 would
be taken into account and would cause DIS to appear, which is not
handled either. But that cannot happen because cs_recv() doesn't do
anything until it's in ST_EST state, hence the read0() cannot be
called from CON/RDY. Thus the transition from CON to DIS is only
possible in back_handle_st_con() and back_handle_st_rdy() both of
which are called when dealing with the transition already, or when
abortonclose is set and the client aborts before connect() succeeds.
It's possible that some further improvements could be made to detect
this specific transition but it doesn't seem like anything would have
to be added.
This issue was first reported on 2.1. The abortonclose area is very
sensitive so it would be wise to backport slowly, and probably no
further than 2.4.
process_stream() and all associated functions now manipulate conn-streams.
stream-interfaces are no longer used. In addition, function to dump info
about a stream no longer print info about stream-interfaces.
Remaining flags and associated functions are move in the conn-stream
scope. These flags are added on the endpoint and not the conn-stream
itself. This way it will be possible to get them from the mux or the
applet. The functions to get or set these flags are renamed accordingly with
the "cs_" prefix and updated to manipualte a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
si_update_both() is renamed stream_update_both_cs() and moved in stream.c.
The function is slightly changed to manipulate the stream instead the front
and back conn-streams.
si_update_rx(), si_update_tx() and si_update() are renamed cs_update_rx(),
cs_upate_tx() and cs_update() and updated to manipulate a conn-stream
instead of a stream-interface.
si_register_applet() and si_applet_release() are renamed
cs_register_applet() and cs_applet_release() and now manipulate a
conn-stream instead of a stream-inteface.
si_shutr(), si_shutw(), si_chk_rcv() and si_chk_snd() are moved in the
conn-stream scope and renamed, respectively, cs_shutr(), cs_shutw(),
cs_chk_rcv(), cs_chk_snd() and manipulate a conn-stream instead of a
stream-interface.
wait_event structure is moved in the conn-stream. The tasklet is only
created if the conn-stream is attached to a mux and released when the mux is
detached. This implies a subtle change. In stream_int_chk_rcv() function,
the wakeup of the tasklet was removed because there is no longer tasklet at
this stage (stream_int_chk_rcv() is a callback function of si_embedded_ops).
si_retnclose() is used to send a reply to a client before closing. There is
no use on the server side, in spite of the function is generic. Thus, it is
renamed stream_retnclose() and moved into the stream scope. The function now
handle a stream and explicitly send a message to the client.
The stream-interface state (SI_ST_*) is now in the conn-stream. It is a
mechanical replacement for now. Nothing special. SI_ST_* and SI_SB_* were
renamed accordingly. Utils functions to manipulate these infos were moved
under the conn-stream scope.
But it could be good to keep in mind that this part should be
reworked. Indeed, at the CS level, we only need to know if it is ready to
receive or to send. The state of conn-stream from INI to EST is only used on
the server side. The client CS is immediately set to EST. Thus current
SI_ST_* states should probably be moved to the stream to reflect the server
connection state during the establishment stage.
Only the server side is concerned by the stream-interface error type. It is
useless to have an err_type field on the client side. So, it is now move to
the stream. SI_ET_* are renames STRM_ET_* and moved in stream-t.h header
file.
The previous connection state on the client side was only used for debugging
purpose to report client close. But this may be handled when the client
stream-interface is switched from SI_ST_DIS to SI_ST_CLO.
So, there only remains the previous connection state on the server side that
is used by the stream, in process_stream(), to be able to set the correct
termination flags. Thus, instead of keeping this info in the
stream-interface for only one side, the info is now stored in the stream
itself.
Flag to consider a stream as indepenent is now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_INDEP_STR stream-int flag is replaced by CS_FL_INDEP_STR
conn-stream flags.
Flag to not wake the stream up on I/O is now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_DONT_WAKE stream-int flag is replaced by CS_FL_DONT_WAKE
conn-stream flags.
Flags to disable lingering and half-close are now handled at the conn-stream
level. Thus SI_FL_NOLINGER and SI_FL_NOHALF stream-int flags are replaced by
CS_FL_NOLINGER and CS_FL_NOHALF conn-stream flags.
Instead of relying on the conn-stream error, via CS_FL_ERR flags, we now
directly use the error at the endpoint level with the flag CS_EP_ERROR. It
should be safe to do so. But we must be careful because it is still possible
that an error is processed too early. Anyway, a conn-stream has always a
valid endpoint, maybe detached from any endpoint, but valid.
SI_FL_ERR is removed and replaced by CS_FL_ERROR. It is a transient patch
because the idea is to rely on the endpoint to handle errors at this
level. But if for any reason it is not possible, the stream-interface flags
will still be replaced.
The expiration date in the stream-interface was only used on the server side
to set the connect, queue or turn-around timeout. It was checked on the
frontend stream-interface, but never used concretely. So it was removed and
replaced by a connect expiration date in the stream itself. Thus, SI_FL_EXP
flag in stream-interfaces is replaced by a stream flag, SF_CONN_EXP.
The conn_retries counter was set to the max value and decremented at each
connection retry. Thus the counter reflected the number of retries left and
not the real number of retries. All calculations of redispatch or reporting
of number of retries experienced were made using subtracts from the
configured retries, which was complicated and didn't bring any benefit.
Now, this counter is set to 0 and incremented at each retry. We know we've
reached the maximum allowed connection retries by comparing it to the
configured value. In all other cases, we directly use the counter.
This patch should address the feature request #1608.
The conn_retries counter may be moved into the stream structure. It only
concerns the connection establishment. The frontend stream-interface does not
use it. So it is a logical change.
The L7 retries only concerns the stream when a server connection is
established. Thus instead of storing the L7 buffer into the
stream-interface, it may be moved to the stream. And because it is only
available for HTTP streams, it may be moved in the HTTP transaction.
Associated flags are also moved into the HTTP transaction.
At many places, we now use the new CS functions to get a stream or a channel
from a conn-stream instead of using the stream-interface API. It is the
first step to reduce the scope of the stream-interfaces. The main change
here is about the applet I/O callback functions. Before the refactoring, the
stream-interface was the appctx owner. Thus, it was heavily used. Now, as
far as possible,the conn-stream is used. Of course, it remains many calls to
the stream-interface API.
CS_FL_ISBACK is a new flag, set on backend conn-streams. We must just be
careful to preserve this flag when the endpoint is detached from the
conn-stream.
It is a transient commit to prepare next changes. Now, when a conn-stream is
created from an applet or a multiplexer, an endpoint is always provided. In
addition, the API to create a conn-stream was specialized to have one
function per type.
The next step will be to share the endpoint structure.
It is a transient commit to prepare next changes. It is possible to pass a
pre-allocated endpoint to create a new conn-stream. If it is NULL, a new
endpoint is created, otherwise the existing one is used. There no more
change at the conn-stream level.
In the applets, all conn-stream are created with no pre-allocated
endpoint. But for multiplexers, an endpoint is systematically created before
creating the conn-stream.
Some CS flags, only related to the endpoint, are moved into the endpoint
struct. More will probably moved later. Those ones are not critical. So it
is pretty safe to move them now and this will ease next changes.
Group the endpoint target of a conn-stream, its context and the associated
flags in a dedicated structure in the conn-stream. It is not inlined in the
conn-stream structure. There is a dedicated pool.
For now, there is no complexity. It is just an indirection to get the
endpoint or its context. But the purpose of this structure is to be able to
share a refcounted context between the mux and the conn-stream. This way, it
will be possible to preserve it when the mux is detached from the
conn-stream.
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.
For now there is no much change. Only the appctx is passed as argument when
the .init callback function is called. And it is not possible to yield at
this stage. It is not a problem because the feature is not used. Only the
lua defines this callback function for the lua TCP/HTTP services. The idea
is to be able to use it for all applets to initialize the appctx context.
The list of streams was modified in 2.4 to become per-thread with commit
a698eb673 ("MINOR: streams: use one list per stream instead of a global
one"). However the change applied to cli_parse_shutdown_session() is
wrong, as it uses the nullity of the stream pointer to continue on next
threads, but this one is not null once the list_for_each_entry() loop
is finished, it points to the list's head again, so the loop doesn't
check other threads, and no message is printed either to say that the
stream was not found.
Instead we should check if the stream is equal to the requested pointer
since this is the condition to break out of the loop.
Thus must be backported to 2.4. Thanks to Maciej Zdeb for reporting this.
Note that we cannot reuse dump_act_rules() because the output format
may be adjusted depending on the call place (this is also used from
haproxy -vv). The principle is the same however.
When no output stream is passed, stdout is used with one entry per line,
and this is called from dump_registered_services() when passed the class
"svc".
These two sample fetch methods report respectively the file name and the
line number where was located the last rule that was final. This is aimed
at being used on log-format lines to help admins figure what rule in the
configuration gave a final verdict, and help understand the condition
that led to the action.
For example, it's now possible to log the last matched rule by adding
this to the log-format:
... lr=%[last_rule_file]:%[last_rule_line]
A regtest is provided to test various combinations of final rules, some
even on top of each other from different rulesets.
When a tcp-{request,response} content or http-request/http-response
rule delivers a final verdict (deny, accept, redirect etc), the last
evaluated one will now be recorded in the stream. The purpose is to
permit to log the last one that performed a final action. For now
the log is not produced.
Channels buffer state is displayed in the strem trace messages. However,
because of a typo, the request buffer was used instead of the response one.
This patch should be backported as far as 2.2.
For now, for a stream, request analyzers are set at 2 stages. The first one
is when the stream is created. The session's listener analyzers, if any, are
set on the request channel. In addition, some HTTP analyzers are set for HTX
streams (AN_REQ_WAIT_HTTP and AN_REQ_HTTP_PROCESS_FE). The second one is
when the backend is set on the stream. At the stage, request analyzers are
updated using the backend settings.
It is an issue for client applets because there is no listener attached to
the stream. In addtion, it may have no specific/dedicated backend. Thus,
several request analyzers are missing. Among others, the HTTP analyzers for
HTTP applets. The HTTP client is the only one affected for now.
To fix the bug, when a stream is created without a listener, we use the
frontend to set the request analyzers. Note that there is no issue with the
response channel because its analyzers are set when the server connection is
established.
This patch may be backported to all stable versions. Because only the HTTP
client is affected, it must at least be backported to 2.5. It is related to
the issue #1593.
The "show sess" cli command only handles "http" or "tcp" as a fallback
mode, replace this by a call to proxy_mode_str() to show all the modes.
Could be backported in every maintained versions.
As reported by Tim in issue #1428, our sources are clean, there are
just a few files with a few rare non-ASCII chars for the paragraph
symbol, a few typos, or in Fred's name. Given that Fred already uses
the non-accentuated form at other places like on the public list,
let's uniformize all this and make sure the code displays equally
everywhere.
Since the recent refactoring on the conn-streams, a stream has always a
defined frontend and backend conn-streams. Thus, in stream_dump(), there is
no reason to still test if these conn-streams are defined.
In addition, still in stream_dump(), get the stream-interfaces using the
conn-streams and not the opposite.
This patch should fix issue #1589 and #1590.
The unsafe conn-stream API (__cs_*) is now used when we are sure the good
endpoint or application is attached to the conn-stream. This avoids compiler
warnings about possible null derefs. It also simplify the code and clear up
any ambiguity about manipulated entities.
GCC 6 was not very good at value propagation and is often mislead about
risks of null derefs. Since 2.6-dev commit 13a35e575 ("MAJOR: conn_stream/
stream-int: move the appctx to the conn-stream"), it sees a risk of null-
deref in stream_upgrade_from_cs() after checking cs_conn_mux(cs). Let's
disguise the result so that it doesn't complain anymore. The output code
is exactly the same. The same method could be used to shut warnings at
-O1 that affect the same compiler by the way.
Since recent changes related to the conn-stream/stream-interface
refactoring, GCC reports potential null pointer dereferences when we get the
appctx, the stream or the stream-interface from the conn-strem. Of course,
depending on the time, these entities may be null. But at many places, we
know they are defined and it is safe to get them without any check. Thus, we
use ALREADY_CHECKED() macro to silent these warnings.
Note that the refactoring is unfinished, so it is not a real issue for now.
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 stream part.
frontend and backend conn-streams are now directly accesible from the
stream. This way, and with some other changes, it will be possible to remove
the stream-interfaces from the stream structure.
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.
Because appctx is now an endpoint of the conn-stream, there is no reason to
still have the stream-interface as appctx owner. Thus, the conn-stream is
now the appctx owner.
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.
To be able to handle applets as a conn-stream endpoint, we must be prepared
to handle different types of endpoints. First of all, the conn-strream's
connection must no longer be used directly.
Because the backend conn-stream is no longer released during connection
retry and because it is valid to have conn-stream with no connection, it is
possible to allocated it when the stream is created. This means, from now, a
stream has always valid frontend and backend conn-streams. It is the first
step to merge the SI and the CS.
The backend conn-stream is no longer released on connection retry. This
means the conn-stream is detached from the underlying connection but not
released. Thus, during connection retries, the stream has always an
allocated conn-stream with no connection. All previous changes were made to
make this possible.
Note that .attach() mux callback function was changed to get the conn-stream
as argument. The muxes are no longer responsible to create the conn-stream
when a server connection is attached to a stream.
In the same way the previous commit, when a stream is created, the appctx
case is now handled before the conn-stream one. The purpose of this change
is to limit bugs during the SI/CS refactoring.
The conn-stream will progressively replace the stream-interface. Thus, a
stream will have to allocate the backend conn-stream during its
creation. This means it will be possible to have a conn-stream with no
connection. To prepare this change, we test the conn-stream's connection
when we retrieve it.
In process_stream(), we force the response buffer allocation before any
processing to be able to return an error message. It is important because,
when an error is triggered, the stream is immediately closed. Thus we cannot
wait for the response buffer allocation.
When the allocation fails, the stream analysis is stopped and the expiration
date of the stream's task is updated before exiting process_stream(). But if
the stream was woken up because of a connection or an analysis timeout, the
expiration date remains blocked in the past. This means the stream is woken
up in loop as long as the response buffer is not properly allocated.
Alone, this behavior is already a bug. But because the mechanism to handle
buffer allocation failures is totally broken since a while, this bug becomes
more problematic. Because, most of time, the watchdog will kill HAProxy in
this case because it will detect a spinning loop.
To fix it, at least temporarily, an allocation failure at this stage is now
reported as an error and the processing is aborted. It's not satisfying but
it is better than nothing. If the buffers allocation mechanism is
refactored, this part will be reviewed.
This patch must be backported, probably as far as 2.0. It may be perceived
as a regression, but the actual behavior is probably even worse. And
because it was not reported, it is probably not a common situation.
We have an anti-looping protection in process_stream() that detects bugs
that used to affect a few filters like compression in the past which
sometimes forgot to handle a read0 or a particular error, leaving a
thread looping at 100% CPU forever. When such a condition is detected,
an alert it emitted and the process is killed so that it can be replaced
by a sane one:

One problem with this detection is that it used to only count the call
rate because we weren't sure how to make it more accurate, but the
threshold was high enough to prevent accidental false positives.
There is actually one case that manages to trigger it, which is when
sending huge amounts of requests pipelined on the master CLI. Some
short requests such as "show version" are sufficient to be handled
extremely fast and to cause a wake up of an analyser to parse the
next request, then an applet to handle it, back and forth. But this
condition is not an error, since some data are being forwarded by
the stream, and it's easy to detect it.
This patch modifies the detection so that update_freq_ctr() only
applies to calls made without CF_READ_PARTIAL nor CF_WRITE_PARTIAL
set on any of the channels, which really indicates that nothing is
happening at all.
This is greatly sufficient and extremely effective, as the call above
is still caught (shutr being ignored by an analyser) while a loop on
the master CLI now has no effect. The "call_rate" field in the detailed
"show sess" output will now be much lower, except for bogus streams,
which may help spot them. This field is only there for developers
anyway so it's pretty fine to slightly adjust its meaning.
This patch could be backported to stable versions in case of reports
of such an issue, but as that's unlikely, it's not really needed.
At many places we use construct such as:
if (objt_server(blah))
do_something(objt_server(blah));
At -O2 the compiler manages to simplify the operation and see that the
second one returns the same result as the first one. But at -O1 that's
not always the case, and the compiler is able to emit a second
expression and sees the potential null that results from it, and may
warn about a potential null deref (e.g. with gcc-6.5). There are two
solutions to this:
- either the result of the first test has to be passed to a local
variable
- or the second reference ought to be unchecked using the __objt_*
variant.
This patch fixes all occurrences at once by taking the second approach
(the least intrusive). For constructs like:
objt_server(blah) ? objt_server(blah)->name : "no name"
a macro could be useful. It would for example take the object type
(server), the field name (name) and the default value. But there
are probably not enough occurrences across the whole code for this
to really matter.
This should be backported wherever it applies.
Define a new stream flag SF_WEBSOCKET and a new cs flag CS_FL_WEBSOCKET.
The conn-stream flag is first set by h1/h2 muxes if the request is a
valid websocket upgrade. The flag is then converted to SF_WEBSOCKET on
the stream creation.
This will be useful to properly manage websocket streams in
connect_server().
For now, these addresses are never set. But the idea is to be able to set, at
least first, the client source and destination addresses at the stream level
without updating the session or connection ones.
Of course, because these addresses are carried by the strream-interface, it
would be possible to set server source and destination addresses at this level
too.
Functions to fill these addresses have been added: si_get_src() and
si_get_dst(). If not already set, these functions relies on underlying
layers to fill stream-interface addresses. On the frontend side, the session
addresses are used if set, otherwise the client connection ones are used. On
the backend side, the server connection addresses are used.
And just like for sessions and conncetions, si_src() and si_dst() may be used to
get source and destination addresses or the stream-interface. And, if not set,
same mechanism as above is used.
This one was used to indicate whether the callee had to follow particularly
safe code path when removing resolutions. Since the code now uses a kill
list, this is not needed anymore.
If a channel error (READ_ERRO|READ_TIMEOUT|WRITE_ERROR|WRITE_TIMEOUT) is
detected by the stream, in process_stream(), FLT_END analyers must be
preserved. It is important to be sure to ends filter analysis and be able to
release the stream.
First, filters may release some ressources when FLT_END analyzers are
called. Then, the CF_FL_ANALYZE flag is used to sync end of analysis for the
request and the response. If FLT_END analyzer is ignored on a channel, this
may block the other side and freeze the stream.
This patch must be backported to all stable versions
This change is required to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections. The
'disabled' bitfield in the proxy structure, used to know if a proxy is
disabled or stopped, is replaced a generic bitfield named 'flags'.
PR_DISABLED and PR_STOPPED flags are renamed to PR_FL_DISABLED and
PR_FL_STOPPED respectively. In addition, everywhere there is a test to know
if a proxy is disabled or stopped, there is now a bitwise AND operation on
PR_FL_DISABLED and/or PR_FL_STOPPED flags.
This line is not related to the response channel but to the stream. Thus it
must be indented at the same level as stream-interfaces, connections,
channels...
Filters can block the stream on pre/post analysis for any reason and it can
be useful to report it in "show sess all". So now, a "current_filter" extra
line is reported for each channel if a filter is blocking the analysis. Note
that this does not catch the TCP/HTTP payload analysis because all
registered filters are always evaluated when more data are received.
Sometimes an HTTP or TCP rule may take time to complete because it is
waiting for external data (e.g. "wait-for-body", "do-resolve"), and it
can be useful to report the action and the location of that rule in
"show sess all". Here for streams blocked on such a rule, there will
now be a "current_line" extra line reporting this. Note that this does
not catch rulesets which are re-evaluated from the start on each change
(e.g. tcp-request content waiting for changes) but only when a specific
rule is being paused.
The last 3 fields were 3 list heads that are per-thread, and which are:
- the pool's LRU head
- the buffer_wq
- the streams list head
Moving them into thread_ctx completes the removal of dynamic elements
from the struct thread_info. Now all these dynamic elements are packed
together at a single place for a thread.
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.
The vars_init() name is particularly confusing as it does not initialize
the variables code but the head of a list of variables passed in
arguments. And we'll soon need to have proper initialization code, so
let's rename it now.
When at least one filter is registered on a stream, the FLT_END analyzer is
called on both direction when all other analyzers have finished their
processing. During this step, filters may release any allocated elements if
necessary. So it is important to not skip it.
Unfortunately, if both stream interfaces are closed, it is possible to not
wait the end of this analyzer. It is possible to be in this situation if a
filter must wait and prevents the analyzer completion. To fix the bug, we
now wait FLT_END analyzer is no longer registered on both direction before
releasing the stream.
This patch may be backported as far as 1.7, but AFAIK, no filter is affected
by this bug. So the backport seems to be optional for now. In any case, it
should remain under observation for some weeks first.
Since 1.9 with commit 673867c35 ("MAJOR: applets: Use tasks, instead
of rolling our own scheduler.") the thread_mask field of the appctx
became unused, but the code hadn't been cleaned for this. The appctx
has its own task and the task's thread_mask is the one to be displayed.
It's worth noting that all calls to appctx_new() pass tid_bit as the
thread_mask. This makes sense, and it could be convenient to decide
that this becomes the norm and to simplify the API.
This patch replaces all advanced data type aliases on
stktable_data_cast calls by standard types.
This way we could call the same stktable_data_cast
regardless of the used advanced data type as long they
are using the same std type.
It also removes all the advanced data type aliases.
It is now possible to set the "nice" factor of the current stream from a
"tcp-request content" or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the
action parsing is moved in stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in
a dedicated function.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the stream log level from a "tcp-request content"
or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the action parsing is moved in
stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in a dedicated function.
This patch should fix issue #1306. It may be backported as far as 2.2 if
necessary.
This basically undoes the API changes that were performed by commit
0274286dd ("BUG/MAJOR: server: fix deadlock when changing maxconn via
agent-check") to address the deadlock issue: since process_srv_queue()
doesn't use the server lock anymore, it doesn't need the "server_locked"
argument, so let's get rid of it before it gets used again.
This reverts commit c83e45e9b0.
The recent changes since 5304669e1 MEDIUM: queue: make
pendconn_process_next_strm() only return the pendconn opened a tiny race
condition between stream_free() and process_srv_queue(), as the pendconn
is accessed outside of the lock, possibly while it's being freed. A
different approach is required.
This basically undoes the API changes that were performed by commit
0274286dd ("BUG/MAJOR: server: fix deadlock when changing maxconn via
agent-check") to address the deadlock issue: since process_srv_queue()
doesn't use the server lock anymore, it doesn't need the "server_locked"
argument, so let's get rid of it before it gets used again.
This essentially reverts commit 2b4370078 ("MINOR: lb/api: let callers
of take_conn/drop_conn tell if they have the lock") that was merged
during 2.4 before the various locks could be eliminated at the lower
layers. Passing that information complicates the cleanup of the queuing
code and it's become useless.
The server_parse_maxconn_change_request locks the server lock. However,
this function can be called via agent-checks or lua code which already
lock it. This bug has been introduced by the following commit :
commit 79a88ba3d0
BUG/MAJOR: server: prevent deadlock when using 'set maxconn server'
This commit tried to fix another deadlock with can occur because
previoulsy server_parse_maxconn_change_request requires the server lock
to be held. However, it may call internally process_srv_queue which also
locks the server lock. The locking policy has thus been updated. The fix
is functional for the CLI 'set maxconn' but fails to address the
agent-check / lua counterparts.
This new issue is fixed in two steps :
- changes from the above commit have been reverted. This means that
server_parse_maxconn_change_request must again be called with the
server lock.
- to counter the deadlock fixed by the above commit, process_srv_queue
now takes an argument to render the server locking optional if the
caller already held it. This is only used by
server_parse_maxconn_change_request.
The above commit was subject to backport up to 1.8. Thus this commit
must be backported in every release where it is already present.
This reverts commit 5b82cc5b5c. The purpose of
this commit was to fully handle L7 retries in HTTP analysers and stop to
deal with the L7 buffer in si_cs_send()/si_cs_recv(). It is of course
cleaner this way. But there is a huge drawback. The L7 buffer is reserved
from the time the request analysis is finished until the moment the response
is received. For a small request, the analysis is finished before the
connection to the server. Thus for the L7 buffer will be kept for queued
sessions while it is not mandatory.
So, for now, the commit is reverted to go back to the less expensive
solution. This patch must be backported to 2.4.
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.
Both structures are identical except the name of the field starting
the period and its description. Let's call them all freq_ctr and the
period's start "curr_tick" which is generic.
This is only a temporary change and fields are expected to remain
the same with no code change (verified).
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.
The fetch_and_xxx variant is often missing for add/sub/and/or. In fact
it was only provided for ADD under the name XADD which corresponds to
the x86 instruction name. But for destructive operations like AND and
OR it's missing even more as it's not possible to know the value before
modifying it.
This patch explicitly adds HA_ATOMIC_FETCH_{OR,AND,ADD,SUB} which
cover these standard operations, and renames XADD to FETCH_ADD (there
were only 6 call places).
In the future, backport of fixes involving such operations could simply
remap FETCH_ADD(x) to XADD(x), FETCH_SUB(x) to XADD(-x), and for the
OR/AND if needed, these could possibly be done using BTS/BTR.
It's worth noting that xchg could have been renamed to fetch_and_store()
but xchg already has well understood semantics and it wasn't needed to
go further.
It is now possible to perform HTTP upgrades on a TCP stream from the
frontend side. To do so, a tcp-request content rule must be defined with the
switch-mode action, specifying the mode (for now, only http is supported)
and optionnaly the proto (h1 or h2).
This way it could be possible to set HTTP directives on a TCP frontend which
will only be evaluated if an upgrade is performed. This new way to perform
HTTP upgrades should replace progressively the old way, consisting to route
the request to an HTTP backend. And it should be also a good start to remove
all HTTP processing from tcp-request content rules.
This action is terminal, it stops the ruleset evaluation. It is only
available on proxy with the frontend capability.
The configuration manual has been updated accordingly.
The code responsible to perform an HTTP upgrade from a TCP stream is moved
in a dedicated function, stream_set_http_mode().
The stream_set_backend() function is slightly updated, especially to
correctly set the request analysers.
Now allocation and initialization of HTTP transactions are performed in a
unique function. Historically, there were two functions because the same TXN
was reset for K/A connections in the legacy HTTP mode. Now, in HTX, K/A
connections are handled at the mux level. A new stream, and thus a new TXN,
is created for each request. In addition, the function responsible to end
the TXN is now also reponsible to release it.
So, now, http_create_txn() and http_destroy_txn() must be used to create and
destroy an HTTP transaction.
It is just a small cleanup. AN_REQ_FLT_HTTP_HDRS and AN_RES_FLT_HTTP_HDRS
analysers are now set in HTTP analysers at the same place
AN_REQ_HTTP_XFER_BODY and AN_RES_HTTP_XFER_BODY are set.
We now use the stream instead of the proxy to know if we are processing HTTP
data or not. If the stream is an HTX stream, it means we are dealing with
HTTP data. It is more accurate than the proxy mode because when an HTTP
upgrade is performed, the proxy is not changed and only the stream may be
used.
Note that it was not a problem to rely on the proxy because HTTP upgrades
may only happen when an HTTP backend was set. But, we will add the support
of HTTP upgrades on the frontend side, after te tcp-request rules
evaluation. In this context, we cannot rely on the proxy mode.
Always set frontend HTTP analysers when an HTX stream is created. It is only
useful in case a destructive HTTP upgrades (TCP>H2) because the frontend is
a TCP proxy.
In fact, to be strict, we must only set these analysers when the upgrade is
performed before setting the backend (it is not supported yet, but this
patch is required to do so), in the frontend part. If the upgrade happens
when the backend is set, it means the HTTP processing is just the backend
buisness. But there is no way to make the difference when a stream is
created, at least for now.
When a TCP stream is upgraded to H2 stream, a destructive upgrade is
performed. It means the TCP stream is silently released while a new one is
created. It is of course more complicated but it is what we observe from the
stream point of view.
That was performed by returning an error when the backend was set. It is
neither really elegant nor accurate. So now, instead of returning an error
from stream_set_backend() in case of destructive HTTP upgrades, the TCP
stream processing is aborted and no error is reported. However, the result
is more or less the same.
The function's purpose used to be to fail a buffer allocation if that
allocation wouldn't result in leaving some buffers available. Thus,
some allocations could succeed and others fail for the sole purpose of
trying to provide 2 buffers at once to process_stream(). But things
have changed a lot with 1.7 breaking the promise that process_stream()
would always succeed with only two buffers, and later the thread-local
pool caches that keep certain buffers available that are not accounted
for in the global pool so that local allocators cannot guess anything
from the number of currently available pools.
Let's just replace all last uses of b_alloc_margin() with b_alloc() once
for all.
Another way to say it: "Safely unlink requester from a requester callbacks".
Requester callbacks must never try to unlink a requester from a resolution, for
the current requester or another one. First, these callback functions are called
in a loop on a request list, not necessarily safe. Thus unlink resolution at
this place, may be unsafe. And it is useless to try to make these loops safe
because, all this stuff is placed in a loop on a resolution list. Unlink a
requester may lead to release a resolution if it is the last requester.
However, the unkink is necessary because we cannot reset the server state
(hostname and IP) with some pending DNS resolution on it. So, to workaround
this issue, we introduce the "safe" unlink. It is only performed from a
requester callback. In this case, the unlink function never releases the
resolution, it only reset it if necessary. And when a resolution is found
with an empty requester list, it is released.
This patch depends on the following commits :
* MINOR: resolvers: Purge answer items when a SRV resolution triggers an error
* MINOR: resolvers: Use a function to remove answers attached to a resolution
* MINOR: resolvers: Directly call srvrq_update_srv_state() when possible
* MINOR: resolvers: Add function to change the srv status based on SRV resolution
All the series must be backported as far as 2.2. It fixes a regression
introduced by the commit b4badf720 ("BUG/MINOR: resolvers: new callback to
properly handle SRV record errors").
don't release resolution from requester cb
These are some leftovers from the ancient code where they were still
called sessions, but these areas in the code remain confusing due to
this naming. They were now called "strm" which will not even affect
indenting nor alignment.
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.
Using abort() occasionally results in unexploitable core due to issues
rewinding the stack. Let's use ABORT_NOW() which in addition to crashing
much closer to the call point also has the benefit of showing the call
trace.
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.
The lock was still used exclusively to deal with the concurrency between
the "show sess" release handler and a stream_new() or stream_free() on
another thread. All other accesses made by "show sess" are already done
under thread isolation. The release handler only requires to unlink its
node when stopping in the middle of a dump (error, timeout etc). Let's
just isolate the thread to deal with this case so that it's compatible
with the dump conditions, and remove all remaining locking on the streams.
This effectively kills the streams lock. The measured gain here is around
1.6% with 4 threads (374krps -> 380k).
The global streams list is exclusively used for "show sess", to look up
a stream to shut down, and for the hard-stop. Having all of them in a
single list is extremely expensive in terms of locking when using threads,
with performance losses as high as 7% having been observed just due to
this.
This patch makes the list per-thread, since there's no need to have a
global one in this situation. All call places just iterate over all
threads. The most "invasive" changes was in "show sess" where the end
of list needs to go back to the beginning of next thread's list until
the last thread is seen. For now the lock was maintained to keep the
code auditable but a next commit should get rid of it.
The observed performance gain here with only 4 threads is already 7%
(350krps -> 374krps).
Instead of placing the current stream at the end of the stream list when
issuing a "show sess" on the CLI as was done in 2.2 with commit c6e7a1b8e
("MINOR: cli: make "show sess" stop at the last known session"), now we
compare the listed stream's epoch with the dumping stream's and stop on
more recent ones.
This way we're certain to always only dump known streams at the moment we
issue the dump command without having to modify the list. In theory we
could miss some streams if more than 2^31 "show sess" requests are issued
while an old stream remains present, but that's 68 years at 1 "show sess"
per second and it's unlikely we'll keep a process, let alone a stream, that
long.
It could be verified that the count of dumped streams still matches the
one before this change.
The "show sess" CLI command currently lists all streams and needs to
stop at a given position to avoid dumping forever. Since 2.2 with
commit c6e7a1b8e ("MINOR: cli: make "show sess" stop at the last known
session"), a hack consists in unlinking the stream running the applet
and linking it again at the current end of the list, in order to serve
as a delimiter. But this forces the stream list to be global, which
affects scalability.
This patch introduces an epoch, which is a global 32-bit counter that
is incremented by the "show sess" command, and which is copied by newly
created streams. This way any stream can know whether any other one is
newer or older than itself.
For now it's only stored and not exploited.
There's no locking around the lookup of a stream nor its shutdown
when issuing "shutdown sessions" over the CLI so the risk of crashing
the process is particularly high.
Let's use a thread_isolate() there which is suitable for this task, and
there are not that many alternatives.
This must be backported to 1.8.
Historically this function would try to wake the most accurate number of
process_stream() waiters. But since the introduction of filters which could
also require buffers (e.g. for compression), things started not to be as
accurate anymore. Nowadays muxes and transport layers also use buffers, so
the runqueue size has nothing to do anymore with the number of supposed
users to come.
In addition to this, the threshold was compared to the number of free buffer
calculated as allocated minus used, but this didn't work anymore with local
pools since these counts are not updated upon alloc/free!
Let's clean this up and pass the number of released buffers instead, and
consider that each waiter successfully called counts as one buffer. This
is not rocket science and will not suddenly fix everything, but at least
it cannot be as wrong as it is today.
This could have been marked as a bug given that the current situation is
totally broken regarding this, but this probably doesn't completely fix
it, it only goes in a better direction. It is possible however that it
makes sense in the future to backport this as part of a larger series if
the situation significantly improves.
The buffer wait queue used to be global historically but this doest not
make any sense anymore given that the most common use case is to have
thread-local pools. Thus there's no point waking up waiters of other
threads after releasing an entry, as they won't benefit from it.
Let's move the queue head to the thread_info structure and use
ti->buffer_wq from now on.
The two algos defining these functions (first and leastconn) do not need the
server's lock. However it's already present in pendconn_process_next_strm()
so the API must be updated so that the functions may take it if needed and
that the callers indicate whether they already own it.
As such, the call places (backend.c and stream.c) now do not take it
anymore, queue.c was unchanged since it's already held, and both "first"
and "leastconn" were updated to take it if not already held.
A quick test on the "first" algo showed a jump from 432 to 565k rps by
just dropping the lock in stream.c!
The remaining contention on the server lock solely comes from
sess_change_server() which takes the lock to add and remove a
stream from the server's actconn list. This is both expensive
and pointless since we have mt-lists, and this list is only
used by the CLI's "shutdown server sessions" command!
Let's migrate to an mt-list and remove the need for this costly
lock. By doing so, the request rate increased by ~1.8%.
This patch splits current dns.c into two files:
The first dns.c contains code related to DNS message exchange over UDP
and in future other TCP. We try to remove depencies to resolving
to make it usable by other stuff as DNS load balancing.
The new resolvers.c inherit of the code specific to the actual
resolvers.
Note:
It was really difficult to obtain a clean diff dur to the amount
of moved code.
Note2:
Counters and stuff related to stats is not cleany separated because
currently counters for both layers are merged and hard to separate
for now.
The code dealing with the copy of requests in the L7-buffer and the
retransmits during L7 retries has been moved in the HTTP analysers. The copy
is now performed in the REQ_HTTP_XFER_BODY analyser and the L7 retries is
performed in the RES_WAIT_HTTP analyser. This way, si_cs_recv() and
si_cs_send() don't care of it anymore. It is much more natural to deal with
L7 retry in HTTP analysers.
TCP to H1 upgrades are buggy for now. When such upgrade is performed, a
crash is experienced. The bug is the result of the recent H1 mux
refactoring, and more specifically because of the commit c4bfa59f1 ("MAJOR:
mux-h1: Create the client stream as later as possible"). Indeed, now the H1
mux is responsible to create the frontend conn-stream once the request
headers are fully received. Thus the TCP to H1 upgrade is a problem because
the frontend conn-stream already exists.
To fix the bug, we must keep this conn-stream and the associate stream and
use it in the H1 mux. To do so, the upgrade will be performed in two
steps. First, the mux is upgraded from mux-pt to mux-h1. Then, the mux-h1
performs the stream upgrade, once the request headers are fully received and
parsed. To do so, stream_upgrade_from_cs() must be used. This function set
the SF_HTX flags to switch the stream to HTX mode, it removes the SF_IGNORE
flags and eventually it fills the request channel with some input data.
This patch is required to fix the TCP to H1 upgrades and is intimately
linked with the next commits.
When a TCP to H2 upgrade is performed, the SF_IGNORE flag is set on the
stream before killing it. This happens when a TCP/SSL client connection is
routed to a HTTP backend and the h2 alpn detected. The SF_IGNORE flag was
added for this purpose, to skip some processing when the stream is aborted
before a mux upgrade. Some counters updates were skipped this way. But some
others are still updated.
Now, all counters update at the end of process_stream(), before releasing
the stream, are ignored if SF_IGNORE flag is set. Note this stream is
aborted because we switch from a mono-stream to a multi-stream
multiplexer. It works differently for TCP to H1 upgrades.
This patch should be backported as far as 2.0 after some observation period.
I was looking at writing a simple first test for prometheus but I
realised there is no proper way to exclude it if haproxy was not built
with prometheus plugin.
Today we have `REQUIRE_OPTIONS` in reg-tests which is based on `Feature
list` from `haproxy -vv`. Those options are coming from the Makefile
itself.
A plugin is build this way:
EXTRA_OBJS="contrib/prometheus-exporter/service-prometheus.o"
It does register service actions through `service_keywords_register`.
Those are listed through `list_services` in `haproxy -vv`.
To facilitate parsing, I slightly changed the output to a single line
and integrate it in regtests shell script so that we can now specify a
dependency while writing a reg-test for prometheus, e.g:
#REQUIRE_SERVICE=prometheus-exporter
#REQUIRE_SERVICES=prometheus-exporter,foo
There might be other ways to handle this, but that's the cleanest I
found; I understand people might be concerned by this output change in
`haproxy -vv` which goes from:
Available services :
foo
bar
to:
Available services : foo bar

This allows using the address of the server rather than the name of the
server for keeping track of servers in a backend for stickiness.
The peers code was also extended to support feeding the dictionary using
this key instead of the name.
Fixes#814
Add cur_server_timeout and cur_tunnel_timeout.
These sample fetches return the current timeout value for a stream. This
is useful to retrieve the value of a timeout which was changed via a
set-timeout rule.
Prepare the possibility to register sample fetches on the stream.
This commit is necessary to implement sample fetches to retrieve the
current timeout values.
Allow the modification of the tunnel timeout on the stream side.
Use a new field in the stream for the tunnel timeout. It is initialized
by the tunnel timeout from backend unless it has already been set by a
set-timeout tunnel rule.
Allow the modification of the timeout server value on the stream side.
Do not apply the default backend server timeout in back_establish if it
is already defined. This is the case if a set-timeout server rule has
been executed.
At the end of stream_new(), once the input buffer is transfer to the request
channel, it must not be used anymore. The previous patch (16df178b6 "BUG/MEDIUM:
stream: Xfer the input buffer to a fully created stream") was pushed to quickly.
No backport needed.
The input buffer passed as argument to create a new stream must not be
transferred when the request channel is initialized because the channel
flags are not set at this stage. In addition, the API is a bit confusing
regarding the buffer owner when an error occurred. The caller remains the
owner, but reading the code it is not obvious.
So, first of all, to avoid any ambiguities, comments are added on the
calling chain to make it clear. The buffer owner is the caller if any error
occurred. And the ownership is transferred to the stream on success.
Then, to make things simple, the ownership is transferred at the end of
stream_new(), in case of success. And the input buffer is updated to point
on BUF_NULL. Thus, in all cases, if the caller try to release it calling
b_free() on it, it is not a problem. Of course, it remains the caller
responsibility to release it on error.
The patch fixes a bug introduced by the commit 26256f86e ("MINOR: stream:
Pass an optional input buffer when a stream is created"). No backport is
needed.
The cumulative numbers of http requests, http errors, bytes received and
sent and their respective rates for a tracked counters are now updated using
specific stream independent functions. These functions are used by the
stream but the aim is to allow the session to do so too. For now, there is
no reason to perform these updates from the session, except from the mux-h2
maybe. But, the mux-h1, on the frontend side, will be able to return some
errors to the client, before the stream creation. In this case, it will be
mandatory to update counters tracked at the session level.
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().
These info are only provided by the mux-h1. But, thanks to previous patches,
we can get them from the session directly. There is no need to retrieve them
from the mux anymore.
Since the idle duration provided by the session is always up-to-date, there
is no more reason to rely on the multiplexer cs_info to set it to the
stream.
This function simply calls action_lookup() on the private service_keywords,
to look up a service name. This will be used to detect double registration
of a same service from Lua.
This will be needed by a next patch to fix a bug and will have to be
backported.
The server lock must be held when server_take_conn() and server_drop_conn()
lbprm callback functions are called. It is a documented prerequisite but it is
not always performed. It only affects leastconn and fas lb algorithm. Others
don't use these callback functions.
A race condition on the next pending effecive weight (next_eweight) may be
encountered with the leastconn lb algorithm. An agent check may set it to 0
while fwlc_srv_reposition() is called. The server is locked during the
next_eweight update. But because the server lock is not acquired when
fwlc_srv_reposition() is called, we may use it to recompute the server key,
leading to a division by 0.
This patch must be backported as far as 1.8.
The remaining proxy states were only used to distinguish an enabled
proxy from a disabled one. Due to the initialization order, both
PR_STNEW and PR_STREADY were equivalent after startup, and they
would only differ from PR_STSTOPPED when the proxy is disabled or
shutdown (which is effectively another way to disable it).
Now we just have a "disabled" field which allows to distinguish them.
It's becoming obvious that start_proxies() is only used to print a
greeting message now, that we'd rather get rid of. Probably that
zombify_proxy() and stop_proxy() should be merged once their
differences move to the right place.
The receiver is the one which depends on the protocol while the listener
relies on the receiver. Let's move the protocol there. Since there's also
a list element to get back to the listener from the proto list, this list
element (proto_list) was moved as well. For now when scanning protos, we
still see listeners which are linked by their rx.proto_list part.
A dedicated expiration date is now used to apply the inspect-delay of the
tcp-request or tcp-response rulesets. Before, the analyse expiratation date was
used but it may also be updated by the lua (at least). So a lua script may
extend or reduce the inspect-delay by side effect. This is not expected. If it
becomes necessary, a specific function will be added to do this. Because, for
now, it is a bit confusing.
The do-resolve HTTP action, performing a DNS resolution of a sample expression
output, is not thread-safe at all. The resolver object used to do the resolution
must be locked when the action is executed or when the stream is released
because its curr or wait resolution lists and the requester list inside a
resolution are updated. It is also important to not wake up a released stream
(with a destroyed task).
Of course, because of this bug, various kind of crashes may be observed.
This patch should fix the issue #236. It must be backported as far as 2.0.
The TRY_ADDQ there was not needed since the wait list is exclusively
owned by the caller. There's a preliminary test on MT_LIST_ADDED()
that might have been eliminated by keeping MT_LIST_TRY_ADDQ() but
it would have required two more expensive writes before testing so
better keep the test the way it is.
Initially when mt_lists were added, their purpose was to be used with
the scheduler, where anyone may concurrently add the same tasklet, so
it sounded natural to implement a check in MT_LIST_ADD{,Q}. Later their
usage was extended and MT_LIST_ADD{,Q} started to be used on situations
where the element to be added was exclusively owned by the one performing
the operation so a conflict was impossible. This became more obvious with
the idle connections and the new macro was called MT_LIST_ADDQ_NOCHECK.
But this remains confusing and at many places it's not expected that
an MT_LIST_ADD could possibly fail, and worse, at some places we start
by initializing it before adding (and the test is superflous) so let's
rename them to something more conventional to denote the presence of the
check or not:
MT_LIST_ADD{,Q} : inconditional operation, the caller owns the
element, and doesn't care about the element's
current state (exactly like LIST_ADD)
MT_LIST_TRY_ADD{,Q}: only perform the operation if the element is not
already added or in the process of being added.
This means that the previously "safe" MT_LIST_ADD{,Q} are not "safe"
anymore. This also means that in case of backport mistakes in the
future causing this to be overlooked, the slower and safer functions
will still be used by default.
Note that the missing unchecked MT_LIST_ADD macro was added.
The rest of the code will have to be reviewed so that a number of
callers of MT_LIST_TRY_ADDQ are changed to MT_LIST_ADDQ to remove
the unneeded test.
"show sess" and particularly "show sess all" can be very slow when dumping
lots of information, and while dumping, new sessions might appear, making
the output really endless. When threads are used, this causes a double
problem:
- all threads are paused during the dump, so an overly long dump degrades
the quality of service ;
- since all threads are paused, more events get postponed, possibly
resulting in more streams to be dumped on next invocation of the dump
function.
This patch addresses this long-lasting issue by doing something simple:
the CLI's stream is moved at the end of the steams list, serving as an
identifiable marker to end the dump, because all entries past it were
added after the command was entered. As a result, the CLI's stream always
appears as the last one.
It may make sense to backport this to stable branches where dumping live
streams is difficult as well.
This one was confusingly called, I thought it was the cumulated number
of streams but it's the number of calls to process_stream(). Let's make
this clearer.
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.
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.
This one was not easy because it was embarking many includes with it,
which other files would automatically find. At least global.h, arg.h
and tools.h were identified. 93 total locations were identified, 8
additional includes had to be added.
In the rare files where it was possible to finalize the sorting of
includes by adjusting only one or two extra lines, it was done. But
all files would need to be rechecked and cleaned up now.
It was the last set of files in types/ and proto/ and these directories
must not be reused anymore.
extern struct dict server_name_dict was moved from the type file to the
main file. A handful of inlined functions were moved at the bottom of
the file. Call places were updated to use server-t.h when relevant, or
to simply drop the entry when not needed.
The files remained mostly unchanged since they were OK. However, half of
the users didn't need to include them, and about as many actually needed
to have it and used to find functions like srv_currently_usable() through
a long chain that broke when moving the file.
This one is particularly difficult to split because it provides all the
functions used to manipulate a proxy state and to retrieve names or IDs
for error reporting, and as such, it was included in 73 files (down to
68 after cleanup). It would deserve a small cleanup though the cut points
are not obvious at the moment given the number of structs involved in
the struct proxy itself.
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.
It was moved without any change, however many callers didn't need it at
all. This was a consequence of the split of proto_http.c into several
parts that resulted in many locations to still reference it.
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.
Just some minor reordering, and the usual cleanup of call places for
those which didn't need it. We don't include the whole tools.h into
stats-t anymore but just tools-t.h.
The type file was slightly tidied. The cli-specific APPCTX_CLI_ST1_* flag
definitions were moved to cli.h. The type file was adjusted to include
buf-t.h and not the huge buf.h. A few call places were fixed because they
did not need this include.
The files were moved almost as-is, just dropping arg-t and auth-t from
acl-t but keeping arg-t in acl.h. It was useful to revisit the call places
since a handful of files used to continue to include acl.h while they did
not need it at all. Struct stream was only made a forward declaration
since not otherwise needed.
The stktable_types[] array declaration was moved to the main file as
it had nothing to do in the types. A few declarations were reordered
in the types file so that defines were before the structs. Thread-t
was added since there are a few __decl_thread(). The loss of peers.h
revealed that cfgparse-listen needed it.
All includes that were not absolutely necessary were removed because
checks.h happens to very often be part of dependency loops. A warning
was added about this in check-t.h. The fields, enums and structs were
a bit tidied because it's particularly tedious to find anything there.
It would make sense to split this in two or more files (at least
extract tcp-checks).
The file was renamed to the singular because it was one of the rare
exceptions to have an "s" appended to its name compared to the struct
name.
The type file is becoming a mess, half of it is for the proxy protocol,
another good part describes conn_streams and mux ops, it would deserve
being split again. At least it was reordered so that elements are easier
to find, with the PP-stuff left at the end. The MAX_SEND_FD macro was moved
to compat.h as it's said to be the value for Linux.
The TASK_IS_TASKLET() macro was moved to the proto file instead of the
type one. The proto part was a bit reordered to remove a number of ugly
forward declaration of static inline functions. About a tens of C and H
files had their dependency dropped since they were not using anything
from task.h.
global.h was one of the messiest files, it has accumulated tons of
implicit dependencies and declares many globals that make almost all
other file include it. It managed to silence a dependency loop between
server.h and proxy.h by being well placed to pre-define the required
structs, forcing struct proxy and struct server to be forward-declared
in a significant number of files.
It was split in to, one which is the global struct definition and the
few macros and flags, and the rest containing the functions prototypes.
The UNIX_MAX_PATH definition was moved to compat.h.
This one is particularly tricky to move because everyone uses it
and it depends on a lot of other types. For example it cannot include
arg-t.h and must absolutely only rely on forward declarations to avoid
dependency loops between vars -> sample_data -> arg. In order to address
this one, it would be nice to split the sample_data part out of sample.h.
List.h was missing for LIST_ADDQ(). A few unneeded includes of action.h
were removed from certain files.
This one still relies on applet.h and stick-table.h.
