Now memprintf relies on memvprintf. This new function does exactly what
memprintf did before, but it must be called with a va_list instead of a variable
number of arguments. So there is no change for every functions using
memprintf. But it is now also possible to have same functionnality from any
function with variadic arguments.
Email alerts relies on checks to send emails. The link between a mailers section
and a proxy was resolved during the configuration parsing, But initialization was
done when the first alert is triggered. This implied memory allocations and
tasks creations. With this patch, everything is now initialized during the
configuration parsing. So when an alert is triggered, only the memory required
by this alert is dynamically allocated.
Moreover, alerts processing had a flaw. The task handler used to process alerts
to be sent to the same mailer, process_email_alert, was designed to give back
the control to the scheduler when an alert was sent. So there was a delay
between the sending of 2 consecutives alerts (the min of
"proxy->timeout.connect" and "mailer->timeout.mail"). To fix this problem, now,
we try to process as much queued alerts as possible when the task is woken up.
This is a huge patch with many changes, all about the DNS. Initially, the idea
was to update the DNS part to ease the threads support integration. But quickly,
I started to refactor some parts. And after several iterations, it was
impossible for me to commit the different parts atomically. So, instead of
adding tens of patches, often reworking the same parts, it was easier to merge
all my changes in a uniq patch. Here are all changes made on the DNS.
First, the DNS initialization has been refactored. The DNS configuration parsing
remains untouched, in cfgparse.c. But all checks have been moved in a post-check
callback. In the function dns_finalize_config, for each resolvers, the
nameservers configuration is tested and the task used to manage DNS resolutions
is created. The links between the backend's servers and the resolvers are also
created at this step. Here no connection are kept alive. So there is no needs
anymore to reopen them after HAProxy fork. Connections used to send DNS queries
will be opened on demand.
Then, the way DNS requesters are linked to a DNS resolution has been
reworked. The resolution used by a requester is now referenced into the
dns_requester structure and the resolution pointers in server and dns_srvrq
structures have been removed. wait and curr list of requesters, for a DNS
resolution, have been replaced by a uniq list. And Finally, the way a requester
is removed from a DNS resolution has been simplified. Now everything is done in
dns_unlink_resolution.
srv_set_fqdn function has been simplified. Now, there is only 1 way to set the
server's FQDN, independently it is done by the CLI or when a SRV record is
resolved.
The static DNS resolutions pool has been replaced by a dynamoc pool. The part
has been modified by Baptiste Assmann.
The way the DNS resolutions are triggered by the task or by a health-check has
been totally refactored. Now, all timeouts are respected. Especially
hold.valid. The default frequency to wake up a resolvers is now configurable
using "timeout resolve" parameter.
Now, as documented, as long as invalid repsonses are received, we really wait
all name servers responses before retrying.
As far as possible, resources allocated during DNS configuration parsing are
releases when HAProxy is shutdown.
Beside all these changes, the code has been cleaned to ease code review and the
doc has been updated.
The messages processing is done using existing functions. So here, the main task
is to find the SPOE engine to use. To do so, we loop on all filter instances
attached to the stream. For each, we check if it is a SPOE filter and, if yes,
if its name is the one used to declare the "send-spoe-group" action.
We also take care to return an error if the action processing is interrupted by
HAProxy (because of a timeout or an error at the HAProxy level). This is done by
checking if the flag ACT_FLAG_FINAL is set.
The function spoe_send_group is the action_ptr callback ot
Because we can have messages chained by event or by group, we need to have a way
to know which kind of list we manipulate during the encoding. So 2 types of list
has been added, SPOE_MSGS_BY_EVENT and SPOE_MSGS_BY_GROUP. And the right type is
passed when spoe_encode_messages is called.
This action is used to trigger sending of a group of SPOE messages. To do so,
the SPOE engine used to send messages must be defined, as well as the SPOE group
to send. Of course, the SPOE engine must refer to an existing SPOE filter. If
not engine name is provided on the SPOE filter line, the SPOE agent name must be
used. For example:
http-request send-spoe-group my-engine some-group
This action is available for "tcp-request content", "tcp-response content",
"http-request" and "http-response" rulesets. It cannot be used for tcp
connection/session rulesets because actions for these rulesets cannot yield.
For now, the action keyword is parsed and checked. But it does nothing. Its
processing will be added in another patch.
For now, this section is only parsed. It should have the following format:
spoe-group <grp-name>
messages <msg-name> ...
And then SPOE groups must be referenced in spoe-agent section:
spoe-agnt <name>
...
groups <grp-name> ...
The purpose of these groups is to trigger messages sending from TCP or HTTP
rules, directly from HAProxy configuration, and not on specific event. This part
will be added in another patch.
It is important to note that a message belongs at most to a group.
The engine name is now kept in "spoe_config" struture. Because a SPOE filter can
be declared without engine name, we use the SPOE agent name by default. Then,
its uniqness is checked against all others SPOE engines configured for the same
proxy.
* TODO: Add documentation
Now, it is possible to conditionnaly send a SPOE message by adding an ACL-based
condition on the "event" line, in a "spoe-message" section. Here is the example
coming for the SPOE documentation:
spoe-message get-ip-reputation
args ip=src
event on-client-session if ! { src -f /etc/haproxy/whitelist.lst }
To avoid mixin with proxy's ACLs, each SPOE message has its private ACL list. It
possible to declare named ACLs in "spoe-message" section, using the same syntax
than for proxies. So we can rewrite the previous example to use a named ACL:
spoe-message get-ip-reputation
args ip=src
acl ip-whitelisted src -f /etc/haproxy/whitelist.lst
event on-client-session if ! ip-whitelisted
ACL-based conditions are executed in the context of the stream that handle the
client and the server connections.
It was painful not to have the status code available, especially when
it was computed. Let's store it and ensure we don't claim content-length
anymore on 1xx, only 0 body bytes.
This patch reorganize the shctx API in a generic storage API, separating
the shared SSL session handling from its core.
The shctx API only handles the generic data part, it does not know what
kind of data you use with it.
A shared_context is a storage structure allocated in a shared memory,
allowing its usage in a multithread or a multiprocess context.
The structure use 2 linked list, one containing the available blocks,
and another for the hot locked blocks. At initialization the available
list is filled with <maxblocks> blocks of size <blocksize>. An <extra>
space is initialized outside the list in case you need some specific
storage.
+-----------------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+----
| struct shared_context | extra | block1 | block2 | block3 | ...
+-----------------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+----
<-------- maxblocks --------->
* blocksize
The API allows to store content on several linked blocks. For example,
if you allocated blocks of 16 bytes, and you want to store an object of
60 bytes, the object will be allocated in a row of 4 blocks.
The API was made for LRU usage, each time you get an object, it pushes
the object at the end of the list. When it needs more space, it discards
The functions name have been renamed in a more logical way, the part
regarding shctx have been prefixed by shctx_ and the functions for the
shared ssl session cache have been prefixed by sh_ssl_sess_.
Move the ssl callback functions of the ssl shared session cache to
ssl_sock.c. The shctx functions still needs to be separated of the ssl
tree and data.
A bind_conf does contain a ssl_bind_conf, which already has a flag to know
if early data are activated, so use that, instead of adding a new flag in
the ssl_options field.
When compiled with Openssl >= 1.1.1, before attempting to do the handshake,
try to read any early data. If any early data is present, then we'll create
the session, read the data, and handle the request before we're doing the
handshake.
For this, we add a new connection flag, CO_FL_EARLY_SSL_HS, which is not
part of the CO_FL_HANDSHAKE set, allowing to proceed with a session even
before an SSL handshake is completed.
As early data do have security implication, we let the origin server know
the request comes from early data by adding the "Early-Data" header, as
specified in this draft from the HTTP working group :
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-replay
This patch simply brings HAProxy internal regex system to the Lua API.
Lua doesn't embed regexes, now it inherits from the regexes compiled
with haproxy.
Allow to register a function which will be called after the
configuration file parsing, at the end of the check_config_validity().
It's useful fo checking dependencies between sections or for resolving
keywords, pointers or values.
This commit implements a post section callback. This callback will be
used at the end of a section parsing.
Every call to cfg_register_section must be modified to use the new
prototype:
int cfg_register_section(char *section_name,
int (*section_parser)(const char *, int, char **, int),
int (*post_section_parser)());
We used to have bo_{get,put}_{chr,blk,str} to retrieve/send data to
the output area of a buffer, but not the equivalent ones for the input
area. This will be needed to copy uploaded data frames in HTTP/2.
This one may be called by upper layers (eg: si_shutw()) or lower layers
(si_shutw() as well during stream_int_notify()) so we want it to take
care of updating the connection's flags if it's not going to be done
by the caller.
In transport-layer functions (snd_buf/rcv_buf), it's very problematic
never to know if polling changes made to the connection will be propagated
or not. This has led to some conn_cond_update_polling() calls being placed
at a few places to cover both the cases where the function is called from
the upper layer and when it's called from the lower layer. With the arrival
of the MUX, this becomes even more complicated, as the upper layer will not
have to manipulate anything from the connection layer directly and will not
have to push such updates directly either. But the snd_buf functions will
need to see their updates committed when called from upper layers.
The solution here is to introduce a connection flag set by the connection
handler (and possibly any other similar place) indicating that the caller
is committed to applying such changes on return. This way, the called
functions will be able to apply such changes by themselves before leaving
when the flag is not set, and the upper layer will not have to care about
that anymore.
This flag is only used when reading using splicing for now, and is only
set when a pipe full condition is met, so we can simplify its reset
condition in conn_refresh_polling_flags so that it's cleared at the
same time as the other ones, only when the control layer is ready.
This flag could be used more, to mark that a buffer full condition was
met with any receive method in order to simplify polling management.
This should probably be revisited after 1.8.
This is based on the git SHA1 implementation and optimized to do word
accesses rather than byte accesses, and to avoid unnecessary copies into
the context array.
BoringSSL switch OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to 1.1.0 for compatibility.
Fix BoringSSL call and openssl-compat.h/#define occordingly.
This will not break openssl/libressl compat.
Now any call to trace() in the code will automatically appear interleaved
with the call sequence and timestamped in the trace file. They appear with
a '#' on the 3rd argument (caller's pointer) in order to make them easy to
spot. If the trace functionality is not used, a dmumy weak function is used
instead so that it doesn't require to recompile every time traces are
enabled/disabled.
The trace decoder knows how to deal with these messages, detects them and
indents them similarly to the currently traced function. This can be used
to print function arguments for example.
Note that we systematically flush the log when calling trace() to ensure we
never miss important events, so this may impact performance.
The trace() function uses the same format as printf() so it should be easy
to setup during debugging sessions.
Now only conn_full_close() will be used. It will become more obvious
when the tracking is in place or not and will make it easier to
convert remaining call places to conn_streams.
Instead of having to manually handle lingering outside, let's make
conn_sock_shutw() check for it before calling shutdown(). We simply
don't want to emit the FIN if we're going to reset the connection
due to lingering. It's particularly important for silent-drop where
it's absolutely mandatory that no packet leaves the machine.
These flags are not exactly for the data layer, they instead indicate
what is expected from the transport layer. Since we're going to split
the connection between the transport and the data layers to insert a
mux layer, it's important to have a clear idea of what each layer does.
All function conn_data_* used to manipulate these flags were renamed to
conn_xprt_*.
The HTTP/2->HTTP/1 gateway will need to process HTTP/1 responses. We
cannot sanely rely on the HTTP/1 txn to parse a response because :
1) responses generated by haproxy such as error messages, redirects,
stats or Lua are neither parsed nor indexed ; this could be
addressed over the long term but will take time.
2) the http txn is useless to parse the body : the states present there
are only meaningful to received bytes (ie next bytes to parse) and
not at all to sent bytes. Thus chunks cannot be followed at all.
Even when implementing this later, it's unsure whether it will be
possible when dealing with compression.
So using the HTTP txn is now out of the equation and the only remaining
solution is to call an HTTP/1 message parser. We already have one, it was
slightly modified to avoid keeping states by benefitting from the fact
that the response was produced by haproxy and this is entirely available.
It assumes the following rules are true, or that incuring an extra cost
to work around them is acceptable :
- the response buffer is read-write and supports modifications in place
- headers sent through / by haproxy are not folded. Folding is still
implemented by replacing CR/LF/tabs/spaces with spaces if encountered
- HTTP/0.9 responses are never sent by haproxy and have never been
supported at all
- haproxy will not send partial responses, the whole headers block will
be sent at once ; this means that we don't need to keep expensive
states and can afford to restart the parsing from the beginning when
facing a partial response ;
- response is contiguous (does not wrap). This was already the case
with the original parser and ensures we can safely dereference all
fields with (ptr,len)
The parser replaces all of the http_msg fields that were necessary with
local variables. The parser is not called on an http_msg but on a string
with a start and an end. The HTTP/1 states were reused for ease of use,
though the request-specific ones have not been implemented for now. The
error position and error state are supported and optional ; these ones
may be used later for bug hunting.
The parser issues the list of all the headers into a caller-allocated
array of struct ist.
The content-length/transfer-encoding header are checked and the relevant
info fed the h1 message state (flags + body_len).
This will be used initially by the hpack table and hopefully later by a
new native http processor. These headers are made of name and value, both
an immediate string (ie: pointer and length).
The chunk crlf parser used to depend on the channel and on the HTTP
message, eventhough it's not really needed. Let's remove this dependency
so that it can be used within the H2 to H1 gateway.
As part of this small API change, it was renamed to h1_skip_chunk_crlf()
to mention that it doesn't depend on http_msg anymore.
The chunk parser used to depend on the channel and on the HTTP message
but it's not really needed as they're only used to retrieve the buffer
as well as to return the number of bytes parsed and the chunk size.
Here instead we pass the (few) relevant information in arguments so that
the function may be reused without a channel nor an HTTP message (ie
from the H2 to H1 gateway).
As part of this API change, it was renamed to h1_parse_chunk_size() to
mention that it doesn't depend on http_msg anymore.
Functions http_parse_chunk_size(), http_skip_chunk_crlf() and
http_forward_trailers() were moved to h1.h and h1.c respectively so
that they can be called from outside. The parts that were inline
remained inline as it's critical for performance (+41% perf
difference reported in an earlier test). For now the "http_" prefix
remains in their name since they still depend on the http_msg type.
Certain types and enums are very specific to the HTTP/1 parser, and we'll
need to share them with the HTTP/2 to HTTP/1 translation code. Let's move
them to h1.c/h1.h. Those with very few occurrences or only used locally
were renamed to explicitly mention the relevant HTTP version :
enum ht_state -> h1_state.
http_msg_state_str -> h1_msg_state_str
HTTP_FLG_* -> H1_FLG_*
http_char_classes -> h1_char_classes
Others like HTTP_IS_*, HTTP_MSG_* are left to be done later.
Thus function returns the number of blocks. When a buffer is full and
properly aligned, buf->p loops back the beginning, and the test in the
code doesn't cover that specific case, so it returns two chunks, a full
one and an empty one. It's harmless but can sometimes have a small impact
on performance and definitely makes the code hard to debug.
Fix regression introduced by commit:
'MAJOR: servers: propagate server status changes asynchronously.'
The building of the log line was re-worked to be done at the
postponed point without lack of data.
[wt: this only affects 1.8-dev, no backport needed]
This function modifies the string to add a zero after the end, and returns
the start pointer. The purpose is to use it on strings extracted by parsers
from larger strings cut with delimiters that are not important and can be
destroyed. It allows any such string to be used with regular string
functions. It's also convenient to use with printf() to show data extracted
from writable areas.
There's no point having the channel marked writable as these functions
only extract data from the channel. The code was retrieved from their
ci/co ancestors.
For HTTP/2 we'll need some buffer-only equivalent functions to some of
the ones applying to channels and still squatting the bi_* / bo_*
namespace. Since these names have kept being misleading for quite some
time now and are really getting annoying, it's time to rename them. This
commit will use "ci/co" as the prefix (for "channel in", "channel out")
instead of "bi/bo". The following ones were renamed :
bi_getblk_nc, bi_getline_nc, bi_putblk, bi_putchr,
bo_getblk, bo_getblk_nc, bo_getline, bo_getline_nc, bo_inject,
bi_putchk, bi_putstr, bo_getchr, bo_skip, bi_swpbuf
This function returns true if the available buffer space wraps. This
will be used to detect if it's worth realigning a buffer when it lacks
contigous space.
bi_istput() injects the ist string into the input region of the buffer,
it will be used to feed small data chunks into the conn_stream. bo_istput()
does the same into the output region of the buffer, it will be used to send
data via the transport layer and assumes there's no input data.
In order to match known patterns in wrapping buffer, we'll introduce new
string manipulation functions for buffers. The new function b_isteq()
relies on an ist string for the pattern and compares it against any
location in the buffer relative to <p>. The second function bi_eat()
is specially designed to match input contents.
This simply reduces the amount of output data from the buffer after
they have been transferred, in a way that is more natural than by
fiddling with buf->o. b_del() was renamed to bi_del() to avoid any
ambiguity (it's not yet used).
Commit 36eb3a3 ("MINOR: tools: make my_htonll() more efficient on x86_64")
brought an incorrect asm statement missing the input constraints, causing
the input value not necessarily to be placed into the same register as the
output one, resulting in random output. It happens to work when building at
-O0 but not above. This was only detected in the HTTP/2 parser, but in
mainline it could only affect the integer to binary sample cast.
No backport is needed since this bug was only introduced in the development
branch.
In order to prepare multi-thread development, code was re-worked
to propagate changes asynchronoulsy.
Servers with pending status changes are registered in a list
and this one is processed and emptied only once 'run poll' loop.
Operational status changes are performed before administrative
status changes.
In a case of multiple operational status change or admin status
change in the same 'run poll' loop iteration, those changes are
merged to reach only the targeted status.
Commit bcb86ab ("MINOR: session: add a streams field to the session
struct") added this list of streams that is not needed anymore. Let's
get rid of it now.
After some tests, gcc 5.x produces better code with likely()
than without, contrary to gcc 4.x where it was better to disable
it. Let's re-enable it for 5 and above.
It's not possible to use strlen() in const arrays even with const
strings, but we can use sizeof-1 via a macro. Let's provide this in
the IST() macro, as it saves the developer from having to count the
characters.
After the removal of CO_FL_DATA_RD_SH and CO_FL_DATA_WR_SH, the
aggregate mask CO_FL_NOTIFY_DATA was not updated. It happens that
now CO_FL_NOTIFY_DATA and CO_FL_NOTIFY_DONE are similar, which may
reveal some overlap between the ->wake and ->xprt_done callbacks.
We'll see after the mux changes if both are still required.
These ones are the same as the previous ones but for 64 bit values.
We're using my_ntohll() and my_htonll() from standard.h for the byte
order conversion.
These ones are the equivalent of the read_* functions. They support
writing unaligned words, possibly wrapping, in host and network order.
The write_i*() functions were not implemented since the caller can
already use the unsigned version.
This patch adds the ability to read from a wrapping memory area (ie:
buffers). The new functions are called "readv_<type>". The original
ones were renamed to start with "read_" to make the difference more
obvious between the read method and the returned type.
It's worth noting that the memory barrier in readv_bytes() is critical,
as otherwise gcc decides that it doesn't need the resulting data, but
even worse, removes the length checks in readv_u64() and happily
performs an out-of-bounds unaligned read using read_u64()! Such
"optimizations" are a bit borderline, especially when they impact
security like this...
These ones return respectively the pointer to the end of the buffer and
the distance between b->p and the end. These will simplify a bit some
new code needed to parse directly from a wrapping buffer.
The current construct was made when developing on a 32-bit machine.
Having a simple bswap operation replaced with 2 bswap, 2 shift and
2 or is quite of a waste of precious cycles... Let's provide a trivial
asm-based implementation for x86_64.
Instead of duplicating some sensitive listener-specific code in the
session and in the stream code, let's call listener_release() when
releasing a connection attached to a listener.
Some places call delete_listener() then decrement the number of
listeners and jobs. At least one other place calls delete_listener()
without doing so, but since it's in deinit(), it's harmless and cannot
risk to cause zombie processes to survive. Given that the number of
listeners and jobs is incremented when creating the listeners, it's
much more logical to symmetrically decrement them when deleting such
listeners.
This function is used to create a series of listeners for a specific
address and a port range. It automatically calls the matching protocol
handlers to add them to the relevant lists. This way cfgparse doesn't
need to manipulate listeners anymore. As an added bonus, the memory
allocation is checked.
Since everything is self contained in proto_uxst.c there's no need to
export anything. The same should be done for proto_tcp.c but the file
contains other stuff that's not related to the TCP protocol itself
and which should first be moved somewhere else.
cfgparse has no business directly calling each individual protocol's 'add'
function to create a listener. Now that they're all registered, better
perform a protocol lookup on the family and have a standard ->add method
for all of them.
It's a shame that cfgparse() has to make special cases of each protocol
just to cast the port to the target address family. Let's pass the port
in argument to the function. The unix listener simply ignores it.
Adds cli commands to change at runtime whether informational messages
are prepended with severity level or not, with support for numeric and
worded severity in line with syslog severity level.
Adds stats socket config keyword severity-output to set default behavior
per socket on startup.
These notification management function and structs are generic and
it will be better to move in common parts.
The notification management functions and structs have names
containing some "lua" references because it was written for
the Lua. This patch removes also these references.
xref is used to create a relation between two elements.
Once an element is released, it breaks the relation. If the
relation is already broken, it frees the xref struct.
The pointer between two elements is a sort of refcount with
max value 1. The relation is only between two elements.
The pointer and the type of element a and b are conventional.
Note that xref is initialised from Lua files because Lua is
the only one user.
smp_fetch_ssl_fc_cl_str as very limited usage (only work with openssl == 1.0.2
compiled with the option enable-ssl-trace). It use internal cipher.algorithm_ssl
attribut and SSL_CIPHER_standard_name (available with ssl-trace).
This patch implement this (debug) function in a standard way. It used common
SSL_CIPHER_get_name to display cipher name. It work with openssl >= 1.0.2
and boringssl.
This function should be called by the poller to set FD_POLL_* flags on an FD and
update its state if needed. This function has been added to ease threads support
integration.
The server state and weight was reworked to handle
"pending" values updated by checks/CLI/LUA/agent.
These values are commited to be propagated to the
LB stack.
In further dev related to multi-thread, the commit
will be handled into a sync point.
Pending values are named using the prefix 'next_'
Current values used by the LB stack are named 'cur_'
This string is used in sample fetches so it is safe to use a preallocated trash
chunk instead of a buffer dynamically allocated during HAProxy startup.
First, this variable does not need to be publicly exposed because it is only
used by stick_table functions. So we declare it as a global static in
stick_table.c file. Then, it is useless to use a pointer. Using a plain struct
variable avoids any dynamic allocation.
swap_buffer is a global variable only used by buffer_slow_realign. So it has
been moved from global.h to buffer.c and it is allocated by init_buffer
function. deinit_buffer function has been added to release it. It is also used
to destroy the buffers' pool.
Now, we use init_log_buffers and deinit_log_buffers to, respectively, initialize
and deinitialize log buffers used for syslog messages.
These functions have been introduced to be used by threads, to deal with
thread-local log buffers.
Now, we use init_trash_buffers and deinit_trash_buffers to, respectively,
initialize and deinitialize trash buffers (trash, trash_buf1 and trash_buf2).
These functions have been introduced to be used by threads, to deal with
thread-local trash buffers.
Patch "MINOR: ssl: support ssl-min-ver and ssl-max-ver with crt-list"
introduce ssl_methods in struct ssl_bind_conf. struct bind_conf have now
ssl_methods and ssl_conf.ssl_methods (unused). It's error-prone. This patch
remove the duplicate structure to avoid any confusion.
After careful inspection, this flag is set at exactly two places :
- once in the health-check receive callback after receipt of a
response
- once in the stream interface's shutw() code where CF_SHUTW is
always set on chn->flags
The flag was checked in the checks before deciding to send data, but
when it is set, the wake() callback immediately closes the connection
so the CO_FL_SOCK_WR_SH flag is also set.
The flag was also checked in si_conn_send(), but checking the channel's
flag instead is enough and even reveals that one check involving it
could never match.
So it's time to remove this flag and replace its check with a check of
CF_SHUTW in the stream interface. This way each layer is responsible
for its shutdown, this will ease insertion of the mux layer.
This flag is both confusing and wrong. It is supposed to report the
fact that the data layer has received a shutdown, but in fact this is
reported by CO_FL_SOCK_RD_SH which is set by the transport layer after
this condition is detected. The only case where the flag above is set
is in the stream interface where CF_SHUTR is also set on the receiving
channel.
In addition, it was checked in the health checks code (while never set)
and was always test jointly with CO_FL_SOCK_RD_SH everywhere, except in
conn_data_read0_pending() which incorrectly doesn't match the second
time it's called and is fortunately protected by an extra check on
(ic->flags & CF_SHUTR).
This patch gets rid of the flag completely. Now conn_data_read0_pending()
accurately reports the fact that the transport layer has detected the end
of the stream, regardless of the fact that this state was already consumed,
and the stream interface watches ic->flags&CF_SHUTR to know if the channel
was already closed by the upper layer (which it already used to do).
The now unused conn_data_read0() function was removed.
The session may need to enforce a timeout when waiting for a handshake.
Till now we used a trick to avoid allocating a pointer, we used to set
the connection's owner to the task and set the task's context to the
session, so that it was possible to circle between all of them. The
problem is that we'll really need to pass the pointer to the session
to the upper layers during initialization and that the only place to
store it is conn->owner, which is squatted for this trick.
So this patch moves the struct task* into the session where it should
always have been and ensures conn->owner points to the session until
the data layer is properly initialized.
Historically listeners used to have a handler depending on the upper
layer. But now it's exclusively process_stream() and nothing uses it
anymore so it can safely be removed.
Currently a task is allocated in session_new() and serves two purposes :
- either the handshake is complete and it is offered to the stream via
the second arg of stream_new()
- or the handshake is not complete and it's diverted to be used as a
timeout handler for the embryonic session and repurposed once we land
into conn_complete_session()
Furthermore, the task's process() function was taken from the listener's
handler in conn_complete_session() prior to being replaced by a call to
stream_new(). This will become a serious mess with the mux.
Since it's impossible to have a stream without a task, this patch removes
the second arg from stream_new() and make this function allocate its own
task. In session_accept_fd(), we now only allocate the task if needed for
the embryonic session and delete it later.
The ->init() callback of the connection's data layer was only used to
complete the session's initialisation since sessions and streams were
split apart in 1.6. The problem is that it creates a big confusion in
the layers' roles as the session has to register a dummy data layer
when waiting for a handshake to complete, then hand it off to the
stream which will replace it.
The real need is to notify that the transport has finished initializing.
This should enable a better splitting between these layers.
This patch thus introduces a connection-specific callback called
xprt_done_cb() which informs about handshake successes or failures. With
this, data->init() can disappear, CO_FL_INIT_DATA as well, and we don't
need to register a dummy data->wake() callback to be notified of errors.
Till now connections used to rely exclusively on file descriptors. It
was planned in the past that alternative solutions would be implemented,
leading to member "union t" presenting sock.fd only for now.
With QUIC, the connection will need to continue to exist but will not
rely on a file descriptor but a connection ID.
So this patch introduces a "connection handle" which is either a file
descriptor or a connection ID, to replace the existing "union t". We've
now removed the intermediate "struct sock" which was never used. There
is no functional change at all, though the struct connection was inflated
by 32 bits on 64-bit platforms due to alignment.
Since commit 9d8dbbc ("MINOR: dns: Maximum DNS udp payload set to 8192") it's
possible to specify a packet size, but passing too large a size or a negative
size is not detected and results in memset() being performed over a 2GB+ area
upon receipt of the first DNS response, causing runtime crashes.
We now check that the size is not smaller than the smallest packet which is
the DNS header size (12 bytes).
No backport is needed.
Following up DNS extension introduction, this patch aims at making the
computation of the maximum number of records in DNS response dynamic.
This computation is based on the announced payload size accepted by
HAProxy.
This patch fixes a bug where some servers managed by SRV record query
types never ever recover from a "no resolution" status.
The problem is due to a wrong function called when breaking the
server/resolution (A/AAAA) relationship: this is performed when a server's SRV
record disappear from the SRV response.
Contrary to 64-bits libCs where size_t type size is 8, on systems with 32-bits
size of size_t is 4 (the size of a long) which does not equal to size of uint64_t type.
This was revealed by such GCC warnings on 32bits systems:
src/flt_spoe.c:2259:40: warning: passing argument 4 of spoe_decode_buffer from
incompatible pointer type
if (spoe_decode_buffer(&p, end, &str, &sz) == -1)
^
As the already existing code using spoe_decode_buffer() already use such pointers to
uint64_t, in place of pointer to size_t ;), most of this code is in contrib directory,
this simple patch modifies the prototype of spoe_decode_buffer() so that to use a
pointer to uint64_t in place of a pointer to size_t, uint64_t type being the type
finally required for decode_varint().
The two macros EXPECT_LF_HERE and EAT_AND_JUMP_OR_RETURN were exported
for use outside the HTTP parser. They now take extra arguments to avoid
implicit pointers and jump labels. These will be used to reimplement a
minimalist HTTP/1 parser in the H1->H2 gateway.
For HPACK we'll need to perform a lot of string manipulation between the
dynamic headers table and the output stream, and we need an efficient way
to deal with that, considering that the zero character is not an end of
string marker here. It turns out that gcc supports returning structs from
functions and is able to place up to two words directly in registers when
-freg-struct is used, which is the case by default on x86 and armv8. On
other architectures the caller reserves some stack space where the callee
can write, which is equivalent to passing a pointer to the return value.
So let's implement a few functions to deal with this as the resulting code
will be optimized on certain architectures where retrieving the length of
a string will simply consist in reading one of the two returned registers.
Extreme care was taken to ensure that the compiler gets maximum opportunities
to optimize out every bit of unused code. This is also the reason why no
call to regular string functions (such as strlen(), memcmp(), memcpy() etc)
were used. The code involving them is often larger than when they are open
coded. Given that strings are usually very small, especially when manipulating
headers, the time spent calling a function optimized for large vectors often
ends up being higher than the few cycles needed to count a few bytes.
An issue was met with __builtin_strlen() which can automatically convert
a constant string to its constant length. It doesn't accept NULLs and there
is no way to hide them using expressions as the check is made before the
optimizer is called. On gcc 4 and above, using an intermediary variable
is enough to hide it. On older versions, calls to ist() with an explicit
NULL argument will issue a warning. There is normally no reason to do this
but taking care of it the best possible still seems important.
Now each stream is added to the session's list of streams, so that it
will be possible to know all the streams belonging to a session, and
to know if any stream is still attached to a sessoin.
These two functions respectively copy a memory area onto the chunk, and
append the contents of a memory area over a chunk. They are convenient
to prepare binary output data to be sent and will be used for HTTP/2.
Edns extensions may be used to negotiate some settings between a DNS
client and a server.
For now we only use it to announce the maximum response payload size accpeted
by HAProxy.
This size can be set through a configuration parameter in the resolvers
section. If not set, it defaults to 512 bytes.
Commit 48a8332a introduce SSL_CTX_get0_privatekey in openssl-compat.h but
SSL_CTX_get0_privatekey access internal structure and can't be a candidate
to openssl-compat.h. The workaround with openssl < 1.0.2 is to use SSL_new
then SSL_get_privatekey.
Make it so for each server, instead of specifying a hostname, one can use
a SRV label.
When doing so, haproxy will first resolve the SRV label, then use the
resulting hostnames, as well as port and weight (priority is ignored right
now), to each server using the SRV label.
It is resolved periodically, and any server disappearing from the SRV records
will be removed, and any server appearing will be added, assuming there're
free servers in haproxy.
As DNS servers may not return all IPs in one answer, we want to cache the
previous entries. Those entries are removed when considered obsolete, which
happens when the IP hasn't been returned by the DNS server for a time
defined in the "hold obsolete" parameter of the resolver section. The default
is 30s.
Since the commit f6b37c67 ["BUG/MEDIUM: ssl: in bind line, ssl-options after
'crt' are ignored."], the certificates generation is broken.
To generate a certificate, we retrieved the private key of the default
certificate using the SSL object. But since the commit f6b37c67, the SSL object
is created with a dummy certificate (initial_ctx).
So to fix the bug, we use directly the default certificate in the bind_conf
structure. We use SSL_CTX_get0_privatekey function to do so. Because this
function does not exist for OpenSSL < 1.0.2 and for LibreSSL, it has been added
in openssl-compat.h with the right #ifdef.
If a server presents an unexpected certificate to haproxy, that is, a
certificate that doesn't match the expected name as configured in
verifyhost or as requested using SNI, we want to store that precious
information. Fortunately we have access to the connection in the
verification callback so it's possible to store an error code there.
For this purpose we use CO_ER_SSL_MISMATCH_SNI (for when the cert name
didn't match the one requested using SNI) and CO_ER_SSL_MISMATCH for
when it doesn't match verifyhost.
This patch fixes the commit 2ab8867 ("MINOR: ssl: compare server certificate
names to the SNI on outgoing connections")
When we check the certificate sent by a server, in the verify callback, we get
the SNI from the session (SSL_SESSION object). In OpenSSL, tlsext_hostname value
for this session is copied from the ssl connection (SSL object). But the copy is
done only if the "server_name" extension is found in the server hello
message. This means the server has found a certificate matching the client's
SNI.
When the server returns a default certificate not matching the client's SNI, it
doesn't set any "server_name" extension in the server hello message. So no SNI
is set on the SSL session and SSL_SESSION_get0_hostname always returns NULL.
To fix the problemn, we get the SNI directly from the SSL connection. It is
always defined with the value set by the client.
If the commit 2ab8867 is backported in 1.7 and/or 1.6, this one must be
backported too.
Note: it's worth mentionning that by making the SNI check work, we
introduce another problem by which failed SNI checks can cause
long connection retries on the server, and in certain cases the
SNI value used comes from the client. So this patch series must
not be backported until this issue is resolved.
task_init() is called exclusively by task_new() which is the only way
to create a task. Most callers set t->expire to TICK_ETERNITY, some set
it to another value and a few like Lua don't set it at all as they don't
need a timeout, causing random values to be used in case the task gets
queued.
Let's always set t->expire to TICK_ETERNITY in task_init() so that all
tasks are now initialized in a clean state.
This patch can be backported as it will definitely make the code more
robust (at least the Lua code, possibly other places).
timegm() is not provided everywhere and the documentation on how to
replace it is bogus as it proposes an inefficient and non-thread safe
alternative.
Here we reimplement everything needed to compute the number of seconds
since Epoch based on the broken down fields in struct tm. It is only
guaranteed to return correct values for correct inputs. It was successfully
tested with all possible 32-bit values of time_t converted to struct tm
using gmtime() and back to time_t using the legacy timegm() and this
function, and both functions always produced the same result.
Thanks to Benot Garnier for an instructive discussion and detailed
explanations of the various time functions, leading to this solution.
In some cases, the socket is misused. The user can open socket and never
close it, or open the socket and close it without sending data. This
causes resources leak on all resources associated to the stream (buffer,
spoe, ...)
This is caused by the stream_shutdown function which is called outside
of the stream execution process. Sometimes, the shtudown is required
while the stream is not started, so the cleanup is ignored.
This patch change the shutdown mode of the session. Now if the session is
no longer used and the Lua want to destroy it, it just set a destroy flag
and the session kill itself.
This patch should be backported in 1.6 and 1.7
Functions hdr_idx_first_idx() and hdr_idx_first_pos() were missing a
"const" qualifier on their arguments which are not modified, causing
a warning in some experimental H2 code.
When several stick-tables were configured with several peers sections,
only a part of them could be synchronized: the ones attached to the last
parsed 'peers' section. This was due to the fact that, at least, the peer I/O handler
refered to the wrong peer section list, in fact always the same: the last one parsed.
The fact that the global peer section list was named "struct peers *peers"
lead to this issue. This variable name is dangerous ;).
So this patch renames global 'peers' variable to 'cfg_peers' to ensure that
no such wrong references are still in use, then all the functions wich used
old 'peers' variable have been modified to refer to the correct peer list.
Must be backported to 1.6 and 1.7.
When support for passing SNI to the server was added in 1.6-dev3, there
was no way to validate that the certificate presented by the server would
really match the name requested in the SNI, which is quite a problem as
it allows other (valid) certificates to be presented instead (when hitting
the wrong server or due to a man in the middle).
This patch adds the missing check against the value passed in the SNI.
The "verifyhost" value keeps precedence if set. If no SNI is used and
no verifyhost directive is specified, then the certificate name is not
checked (this is unchanged).
In order to extract the SNI value, it was necessary to make use of
SSL_SESSION_get0_hostname(), which appeared in openssl 1.1.0. This is
a trivial function which returns the value of s->tlsext_hostname, so
it was provided in the compat layer for older versions. After some
refinements from Emmanuel, it now builds with openssl 1.0.2, openssl
1.1.0 and boringssl. A test file was provided to ease testing all cases.
After some careful observation period it may make sense to backport
this to 1.7 and 1.6 as some users rightfully consider this limitation
as a bug.

This fix should be backported on mainline branches v1.6 and v1.7.
The reference of the current map/acl element to dump could
be destroyed if map is updated from an 'http-request del-map'
configuration rule or throught a 'del map/acl' on CLI.
We use a 'back_refs' chaining element to fix this. As it
is done to dump sessions.
This patch needs also fix:
'BUG/MAJOR: cli: fix custom io_release was crushed by NULL.'
To clean the back_ref and avoid a crash on a further
del/clear map operation.
Those fixes should be backported on mainline branches 1.7 and 1.6.
This patch wont directly apply on 1.6.
In order to authorize call of appctx_wakeup on running task:
- from within the task handler itself.
- in futur, from another thread.
The appctx is considered paused as default after running the handler.
The handler should explicitly call appctx_wakeup to be re-called.
When the appctx_free is called on a running handler. The real
free is postponed at the end of the handler process.
This will be used to retrieve the ALPN negociated over SSL (or possibly
via the proxy protocol later). It's likely that this information should
be stored in the connection itself, but it requires adding an extra
pointer and an extra integer. Thus better rely on the transport layer
to pass this info for now.
In order to authorize call of task_wakeup on running task:
- from within the task handler itself.
- in futur, from another thread.
The lookups on runqueue and waitqueue are re-worked
to prepare multithread stuff.
If task_wakeup is called on a running task, the woken
message flags are savec in the 'pending_state' attribute of
the state. The real wakeup is postponed at the end of the handler
process and the woken messages are copied from pending_state
to the state attribute of the task.
It's important to note that this change will cause a very minor
(though measurable) performance loss but it is necessary to make
forward progress on a multi-threaded scheduler. Most users won't
ever notice.
Under certain circumstances, if a stream's task is first woken up
(eg: I/O event) then notified of the availability of a buffer it
was waiting for via stream_res_wakeup(), this second event is lost
because the flags are only merged after seeing that the task is
running. At the moment it seems that the TASK_WOKEN_RES event is
not explicitly checked for, but better fix this before getting
reports of lost events.
This fix removes this "task running" test which is properly
performed in task_wakeup(), while the flags are properly merged.
It must be backported to 1.7 and 1.6.
These functions was added in commit 637f8f2c ("BUG/MEDIUM: buffers: Fix how
input/output data are injected into buffers").
This patch fixes hidden bugs. When a buffer is full (buf->i + buf->o ==
buf->size), instead of returning 0, these functions can return buf->size. Today,
this never happens because callers already check if the buffer is full before
calling bi/bo_contig_space. But to avoid possible bugs if calling conditions
changed, we slightly refactored these functions.
SSL/TLS version can be changed per certificat if and only if openssl lib support
earlier callback on handshake and, of course, is implemented in haproxy. It's ok
for BoringSSL. For Openssl, version 1.1.1 have such callback and could support it.
Very early in the connection rework process leading to v1.5-dev12, commit
56a77e5 ("MEDIUM: connection: complete the polling cleanups") marked the
end of use for this flag which since was never set anymore, but it continues
to be tested. Let's kill it now.
When dumping data at various places in the code, it's hard to figure
what is present where. To make this easier, this patch slightly modifies
debug_hexdump() to take a prefix string which is prepended in front of
each output line.
This patch is a major upgrade of the internal run-time DNS resolver in
HAProxy and it brings the following 2 main changes:
1. DNS resolution task
Up to now, DNS resolution was triggered by the health check task.
From now, DNS resolution task is autonomous. It is started by HAProxy
right after the scheduler is available and it is woken either when a
network IO occurs for one of its nameserver or when a timeout is
matched.
From now, this means we can enable DNS resolution for a server without
enabling health checking.
2. Introduction of a dns_requester structure
Up to now, DNS resolution was purposely made for resolving server
hostnames.
The idea, is to ensure that any HAProxy internal object should be able
to trigger a DNS resolution. For this purpose, 2 things has to be done:
- clean up the DNS code from the server structure (this was already
quite clean actually) and clean up the server's callbacks from
manipulating too much DNS resolution
- create an agnostic structure which allows linking a DNS resolution
and a requester of any type (using obj_type enum)
3. Manage requesters through queues
Up to now, there was an uniq relationship between a resolution and it's
owner (aka the requester now). It's a shame, because in some cases,
multiple objects may share the same hostname and may benefit from a
resolution being performed by a third party.
This patch introduces the notion of queues, which are basically lists of
either currently running resolution or waiting ones.
The resolutions are now available as a pool, which belongs to the resolvers.
The pool has has a default size of 64 resolutions per resolvers and is
allocated at configuration parsing.
Introduction of a DNS response LRU cache in HAProxy.
When a positive response is received from a DNS server, HAProxy stores
it in the struct resolution and then also populates a LRU cache with the
response.
For now, the key in the cache is a XXHASH64 of the hostname in the
domain name format concatened to the query type in string format.
Prior this patch, the DNS responses were stored in a pre-allocated
memory area (allocated at HAProxy's startup).
The problem is that this memory is erased for each new DNS responses
received and processed.
This patch removes the global memory allocation (which was not thread
safe by the way) and introduces a storage of the dns response in the
struct
resolution.
The memory in the struct resolution is also reserved at start up and is
thread safe, since each resolution structure will have its own memory
area.
For now, we simply store the response and use it atomically per
response per server.
In the process of breaking links between dns_* functions and other
structures (mainly server and a bit of resolution), the function
dns_get_ip_from_response needs to be reworked: it now can call
"callback" functions based on resolution's owner type to allow modifying
the way the response is processed.
For now, main purpose of the callback function is to check that an IP
address is not already affected to an element of the same type.
For now, only server type has a callback.
This patch introduces a some re-organisation around the DNS code in
HAProxy.
1. make the dns_* functions less dependent on 'struct server' and 'struct resolution'.
With this in mind, the following changes were performed:
- 'struct dns_options' has been removed from 'struct resolution' (well,
we might need it back at some point later, we'll see)
==> we'll use the 'struct dns_options' from the owner of the resolution
- dns_get_ip_from_response(): takes a 'struct dns_options' instead of
'struct resolution'
==> so the caller can pass its own dns options to get the most
appropriate IP from the response
- dns_process_resolve(): struct dns_option is deduced from new
resolution->requester_type parameter
2. add hostname_dn and hostname_dn_len into struct server
In order to avoid recomputing a server's hostname into its domain name
format (and use a trash buffer to store the result), it is safer to
compute it once at configuration parsing and to store it into the struct
server.
In the mean time, the struct resolution linked to the server doesn't
need anymore to store the hostname in domain name format. A simple
pointer to the server one will make the trick.
The function srv_alloc_dns_resolution() properly manages everything for
us: memory allocation, pointer updates, etc...
3. move resolvers pointer into struct server
This patch makes the pointer to struct dns_resolvers from struct
dns_resolution obsolete.
Purpose is to make the resolution as "neutral" as possible and since the
requester is already linked to the resolvers, then we don't need this
information anymore in the resolution itself.
A couple of new functions to allocate and free memory for a DNS
resolution structure. Main purpose is to to make the code related to DNS
more consistent.
They allocate or free memory for the structure itself. Later, if needed,
they should also allocate / free the buffers, etc, used by this structure.
They don't set/unset any parameters, this is the role of the caller.
This patch also implement calls to these function eveywhere it is
required.
The default len of request uri in log messages is 1024. In some use
cases, you need to keep the long trail of GET parameters. The only
way to increase this len is to recompile with DEFINE=-DREQURI_LEN=2048.
This commit introduces a tune.http.logurilen configuration directive,
allowing to tune this at runtime.
This option exits every workers when one of the current workers die.
It allows you to monitor the master process in order to relaunch
everything on a failure.
For example it can be used with systemd and Restart=on-failure in a spec
file.
This commit remove the -Ds systemd mode in HAProxy in order to replace
it by a more generic master worker system. It aims to replace entirely
the systemd wrapper in the near future.
The master worker mode implements a new way of managing HAProxy
processes. The master is in charge of parsing the configuration
file and is responsible for spawning child processes.
The master worker mode can be invoked by using the -W flag. It can be
used either in background mode (-D) or foreground mode. When used in
background mode, the master will fork to daemonize.
In master worker background mode, chroot, setuid and setgid are done in
each child rather than in the master process, because the master process
will still need access to filesystem to reload the configuration.
This patch adds the support of a maximum of 32 engines
in async mode.
Some tests have been done using 2 engines simultaneously.
This patch also removes specific 'async' attribute from the connection
structure. All the code relies only on Openssl functions.
ssl-mode-async is a global configuration parameter which enables
asynchronous processing in OPENSSL for all SSL connections haproxy
handles. With SSL_MODE_ASYNC set, TLS I/O operations may indicate a
retry with SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC with this mode set if an asynchronous
capable engine is used to perform cryptographic operations. Currently
async mode only supports one async-capable engine.
This is the latest version of the patchset which includes Emeric's
updates :
- improved async fd cleaning when openssl reports an fd to delete
- prevent conn_fd_handler from calling SSL_{read,write,handshake} until
the async fd is ready, as these operations are very slow and waste CPU
- postpone of SSL_free to ensure the async operation can complete and
does not cause a dereference a released SSL.
- proper removal of async fd from the fdtab and removal of the unused async
flag.
This patch adds the global 'ssl-engine' keyword. First arg is an engine
identifier followed by a list of default_algorithms the engine will
operate.
If the openssl version is too old, an error is reported when the option
is used.
This patch changes the stats socket rights for allowing the sending of
listening sockets.
The previous behavior was to allow any unix stats socket with admin
level to send sockets. It's not possible anymore, you have to set this
option to activate the socket sending.
Example:
stats socket /var/run/haproxy4.sock mode 666 expose-fd listeners level user process 4
The current level variable use only 2 bits for storing the 3 access
level (user, oper and admin).
This patch add a bitmask which allows to use the remaining bits for
other usage.
Plan is to add min-tlsxx max-tlsxx configuration, more consistent than no-tlsxx.
This patch introduce internal min/max and replace force-tlsxx implementation.
SSL method configuration is store in 'struct tls_version_filter'.
SSL method configuration to openssl setting is abstract in 'methodVersions' table.
With openssl < 1.1.0, SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version is used for force (min == max).
With openssl >= 1.1.0, SSL_CTX_set_min/max_proto_version is used.
This patch adds a new stats socket command to modify server
FQDNs at run time.
Its syntax:
set server <backend>/<server> fqdn <FQDN>
This patch also adds FQDNs to server state file at the end
of each line for backward compatibility ("-" if not present).
These encoding functions does general stuff and can be used in
other context than spoe. This patch moves the function spoe_encode_varint
and spoe_decode_varint from spoe to common. It also remove the prefix spoe.
These functions will be used for encoding values in new binary sample fetch.
When we include the header proto/spoe.h in other files in the same
project, the compilator claim that the symbol have multiple definitions:
src/flt_spoe.o: In function `spoe_encode_varint':
~/git/haproxy/include/proto/spoe.h:45: multiple definition of `spoe_encode_varint'
src/proto_http.o:~/git/haproxy/include/proto/spoe.h:45: first defined here
This patch makes backend sections support 'server-template' new keyword.
Such 'server-template' objects are parsed similarly to a 'server' object
by parse_server() function, but its first arguments are as follows:
server-template <ID prefix> <nb | range> <ip | fqdn>:<port> ...
The remaining arguments are the same as for 'server' lines.
With such server template declarations, servers may be allocated with IDs
built from <ID prefix> and <nb | range> arguments.
For instance declaring:
server-template foo 1-5 google.com:80 ...
or
server-template foo 5 google.com:80 ...
would be equivalent to declare:
server foo1 google.com:80 ...
server foo2 google.com:80 ...
server foo3 google.com:80 ...
server foo4 google.com:80 ...
server foo5 google.com:80 ...
When running with multiple process, if some proxies are just assigned
to some processes, the other processes will just close the file descriptors
for the listening sockets. However, we may still have to provide those
sockets when reloading, so instead we just try hard to pretend those proxies
are dead, while keeping the sockets opened.
A new global option, no-reused-socket", has been added, to restore the old
behavior of closing the sockets not bound to this process.
Add the "-x" flag, that takes a path to a unix socket as an argument. If
used, haproxy will connect to the socket, and asks to get all the
listening sockets from the old process. Any failure is fatal.
This is needed to get seamless reloads on linux.
Add a new command that will send all the listening sockets, via the
stats socket, and their properties.
This is a first step to workaround the linux problem when reloading
haproxy.

The function buffer_contig_space is buggy and could lead to pernicious bugs
(never hitted until now, AFAIK). This function should return the number of bytes
that can be written into the buffer at once (without wrapping).
First, this function is used to inject input data (bi_putblk) and to inject
output data (bo_putblk and bo_inject). But there is no context. So it cannot
decide where contiguous space should placed. For input data, it should be after
bi_end(buf) (ie, buf->p + buf->i modulo wrapping calculation). For output data,
it should be after bo_end(buf) (ie, buf->p) and input data are assumed to not
exist (else there is no space at all).
Then, considering we need to inject input data, this function does not always
returns the right value. And when we need to inject output data, we must be sure
to have no input data at all (buf->i == 0), else the result can also be wrong
(but this is the caller responsibility, so everything should be fine here).
The buffer can be in 3 different states:
1) no wrapping
<---- o ----><----- i ----->
+------------+------------+-------------+------------+
| |oooooooooooo|iiiiiiiiiiiii|xxxxxxxxxxxx|
+------------+------------+-------------+------------+
^ <contig_space>
p ^ ^
l r
2) input wrapping
...---> <---- o ----><-------- i -------...
+-----+------------+------------+--------------------+
|iiiii|xxxxxxxxxxxx|oooooooooooo|iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii|
+-----+------------+------------+--------------------+
<contig_space> ^
^ ^ p
l r
3) output wrapping
...------ o ------><----- i -----> <----...
+------------------+-------------+------------+------+
|oooooooooooooooooo|iiiiiiiiiiiii|xxxxxxxxxxxx|oooooo|
+------------------+-------------+------------+------+
^ <contig_space>
p ^ ^
l r
buffer_contig_space returns (l - r). The cases 1 and 3 are correctly
handled. But for the second case, r is wrong. It points on the buffer's end
(buf->data + buf->size). It should be bo_end(buf) (ie, buf->p - buf->o).
To fix the bug, the function has been splitted. Now, bi_contig_space and
bo_contig_space should be used to know the contiguous space available to insert,
respectively, input data and output data. For bo_contig_space, input data are
assumed to not exist. And the right version is used, depending what we want to
do.
In addition, to clarify the buffer's API, buffer_realign does not return value
anymore. So it has the same API than buffer_slow_realign.
This patch can be backported in 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5.
This patch adds 'no-agent-check' setting supported both by 'default-server'
and 'server' directives to disable an agent check for a specific server which would
have 'agent-check' set as default value (inherited from 'default-server'
'agent-check' setting), or, on 'default-server' lines, to disable 'agent-check' setting
as default value for any further 'server' declarations.
For instance, provided this configuration:
default-server agent-check
server srv1
server srv2 no-agent-check
server srv3
default-server no-agent-check
server srv4
srv1 and srv3 would have an agent check enabled contrary to srv2 and srv4.
We do not allocate anymore anything when parsing 'default-server' 'agent-check'
setting.
This patch makes 'default-server' directives support 'sni' settings.
A field 'sni_expr' has been added to 'struct server' to temporary
stores SNI expressions as strings during both 'default-server' and 'server'
lines parsing. So, to duplicate SNI expressions from 'default-server' 'sni' setting
for new 'server' instances we only have to "strdup" these strings as this is
often done for most of the 'server' settings.
Then, sample expressions are computed calling sample_parse_expr() (only for 'server'
instances).
A new function has been added to produce the same error output as before in case
of any error during 'sni' settings parsing (display_parser_err()).
Should not break anything.
Before this patch 'check' setting was only supported by 'server' directives.
This patch makes also 'default-server' directives support this setting.
A new 'no-check' keyword parser has been implemented to disable this setting both
in 'default-server' and 'server' directives.
Should not break anything.
When SIGUSR1 is received, haproxy enters in soft-stop and quits when no
connection remains.
It can happen that the instance remains alive for a long time, depending
on timeouts and traffic. This option ensures that soft-stop won't run
for too long.
Example:
global
hard-stop-after 30s # Once in soft-stop, the instance will remain
# alive for at most 30 seconds.
We'll need to differenciate between pollers which can report hangup at
the same time as read (POLL_RDHUP) from the other ones, because only
these ones may benefit from the fd_done_recv() optimization. Epoll has
had support for EPOLLRDHUP since Linux 2.6.17 and has always been used
this way in haproxy, so now we only set the flag once we've observed it
once in a response. It means that some initial requests may try to
perform a second recv() call, but after the first closed connection it
will be enough to know that the second call is not needed anymore.
Later we may extend these flags to designate event-triggered pollers.
A tcp half connection can cause 100% CPU on expiration.
First reproduced with this haproxy configuration :
global
tune.bufsize 10485760
defaults
timeout server-fin 90s
timeout client-fin 90s
backend node2

timeout server 900s
timeout connect 10s
server def 127.0.0.1:3333
frontend fe_api
mode tcp
timeout client 900s
bind :1990
use_backend node2
Ie timeout server-fin shorter than timeout server, the backend server
sends data, this package is left in the cache of haproxy, the backend
server continue sending fin package, haproxy recv fin package. this
time the session information is as follows:
time the session information is as follows:

rp has set the CF_SHUTR state, next, the client sends the fin package,

cpu information:

Buffering is set to ensure that there is data in the haproxy buffer, and haproxy
can receive the fin package, set the CF_SHUTR flag, If the CF_SHUTR flag has been
set, The following code does not clear the timeout message, causing cpu 100%:
stream.c:process_stream:
if (unlikely((res->flags & (CF_SHUTR|CF_READ_TIMEOUT)) == CF_READ_TIMEOUT)) {
if (si_b->flags & SI_FL_NOHALF)
si_b->flags |= SI_FL_NOLINGER;
si_shutr(si_b);
}
If you have closed the read, set the read timeout does not make sense.
With or without cf_shutr, read timeout is set:
if (tick_isset(s->be->timeout.serverfin)) {
res->rto = s->be->timeout.serverfin;
res->rex = tick_add(now_ms, res->rto);
}
After discussion on the mailing list, setting half-closed timeouts the
hard way here doesn't make sense. They should be set only at the moment
the shutdown() is performed. It will also solve a special case which was
already reported of some half-closed timeouts not working when the shutw()
is performed directly at the stream-interface layer (no analyser involved).
Since the stream interface layer cannot know the timeout values, we'll have
to store them directly in the stream interface so that they are used upon
shutw(). This patch does this, fixing the problem.
An easier reproducer to validate the fix is to keep the huge buffer and
shorten all timeouts, then call it under tcploop server and client, and
wait 3 seconds to see haproxy run at 100% CPU :
global
tune.bufsize 10485760
listen px
bind :1990
timeout client 90s
timeout server 90s
timeout connect 1s
timeout server-fin 3s
timeout client-fin 3s

"sample-fetch which captures the cipherlist" patch introduce #define
do deal with trace functions only available in openssl > 1.0.2.
Add this #define to libressl and boringssl environment.
Thanks to Piotr Kubaj for postponing and testing with libressl.
SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto is declared (when present) with #define. A simple #ifdef
avoid to list all cases of ssllibs. It's a placebo in new ssllibs. It's ok with
openssl 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1.0, libressl and boringssl.

Despite the previous commit working fine on all tests, it's still not
sufficient to completely address the problem. If the connection handler
is called with an event validating an L4 connection but some handshakes
remain (eg: accept-proxy), it will still wake the function up, which
will not report the activity, and will not detect a change once the
handshake it complete so it will not notify the ->wake() handler.
In fact the only reason why the ->wake() handler is still called here
is because after dropping the last handshake, we try to call ->recv()
and ->send() in turn and change the flags in order to detect a data
activity. But if for any reason the data layer is not interested in
reading nor writing, it will not get these events.
A cleaner way to address this is to call the ->wake() handler only
on definitive status changes (shut, error), on real data activity,
and on a complete connection setup, measured as CONNECTED with no
more handshake pending.
It could be argued that the handshake flags have to be made part of
the condition to set CO_FL_CONNECTED but that would currently break
a part of the health checks. Also a handshake could appear at any
moment even after a connection is established so we'd lose the
ability to detect a second end of handshake.
For now the situation around CO_FL_CONNECTED is not clean :
- session_accept() only sets CO_FL_CONNECTED if there's no pending
handshake ;
- conn_fd_handler() will set it once L4 and L6 are complete, which
will do what session_accept() above refrained from doing even if
an accept_proxy handshake is still pending ;
- ssl_sock_infocbk() and ssl_sock_handshake() consider that a
handshake performed with CO_FL_CONNECTED set is a renegociation ;
=> they should instead filter on CO_FL_WAIT_L6_CONN
- all ssl_fc_* sample fetch functions wait for CO_FL_CONNECTED before
accepting to fetch information
=> they should also get rid of any pending handshake
- smp_fetch_fc_rcvd_proxy() uses !CO_FL_CONNECTED instead of
CO_FL_ACCEPT_PROXY
- health checks (standard and tcp-checks) don't check for HANDSHAKE
and may report a successful check based on CO_FL_CONNECTED while
not yet done (eg: send buffer full on send_proxy).
This patch aims at solving some of these side effects in a backportable
way before this is reworked in depth :
- we need to call ->wake() to report connection success, measure
connection time, notify that the data layer is ready and update
the data layer after activity ; this has to be done either if
we switch from pending {L4,L6}_CONN to nothing with no handshakes
left, or if we notice some handshakes were pending and are now
done.
- we document that CO_FL_CONNECTED exactly means "L4 connection
setup confirmed at least once, L6 connection setup confirmed
at least once or not necessary, all this regardless of any
possibly remaining handshakes or future L6 negociations".
This patch also renames CO_FL_CONN_STATUS to the more explicit
CO_FL_NOTIFY_DATA, and works around the previous flags trick consiting
in setting an impossible combination of flags to notify the data layer,
by simply clearing the current flags.
This fix should be backported to 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5.
When a filter is used, there are 2 channel's analyzers to surround all the
others, flt_start_analyze and flt_end_analyze. This is the good place to acquire
and release resources used by filters, when needed. In addition, the last one is
used to synchronize the both channels, especially for HTTP streams. We must wait
that the analyze is finished for the both channels for an HTTP transaction
before restarting it for the next one.
But this part was buggy, leading to unexpected behaviours. First, depending on
which channel ends first, the request or the response can be switch in a
"forward forever" mode. Then, the HTTP transaction can be cleaned up too early,
while a processing is still in progress on a channel.
To fix the bug, the flag CF_FLT_ANALYZE has been added. It is set on channels in
flt_start_analyze and is kept if at least one filter is still analyzing the
channel. So, we can trigger the channel syncrhonization if this flag was removed
on the both channels. In addition, the flag TX_WAIT_CLEANUP has been added on
the transaction to know if the transaction must be cleaned up or not during
channels syncrhonization. This way, we are sure to reset everything once all the
processings are finished.
This patch should be backported in 1.7.
This adds 3 new commands to the cli :
enable dynamic-cookie backend <backend> that enables dynamic cookies for a
specified backend
disable dynamic-cookie backend <backend> that disables dynamic cookies for a
specified backend
set dynamic-cookie-key backend <backend> that lets one change the dynamic
cookie secret key, for a specified backend.
This adds a new "dynamic" keyword for the cookie option. If set, a cookie
will be generated for each server (assuming one isn't already provided on
the "server" line), from the IP of the server, the TCP port, and a secret
key provided. To provide the secret key, a new keyword as been added,
"dynamic-cookie-key", for backends.
Example :
backend bk_web
balance roundrobin
dynamic-cookie-key "bla"
cookie WEBSRV insert dynamic
server s1 127.0.0.1:80 check
server s2 192.168.56.1:80 check
This is a first step to be able to dynamically add and remove servers,
without modifying the configuration file, and still have all the load
balancers redirect the traffic to the right server.
Provide a way to generate session cookies, based on the IP address of the
server, the TCP port, and a secret key provided.
This may be used to output the JSON schema which describes the output of
show info json and show stats json.
The JSON output is without any extra whitespace in order to reduce the
volume of output. For human consumption passing the output through a
pretty printer may be helpful.
e.g.:
$ echo "show schema json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio | \
python -m json.tool
The implementation does not generate the schema. Some consideration could
be given to integrating the output of the schema with the output of
typed and json info and stats. In particular the types (u32, s64, etc...)
and tags.
A sample verification of show info json and show stats json using
the schema is as follows. It uses the jsonschema python module:
cat > jschema.py << __EOF__
import json
from jsonschema import validate
from jsonschema.validators import Draft3Validator
with open('schema.txt', 'r') as f:
schema = json.load(f)
Draft3Validator.check_schema(schema)
with open('instance.txt', 'r') as f:
instance = json.load(f)
validate(instance, schema, Draft3Validator)
__EOF__
$ echo "show schema json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio > schema.txt
$ echo "show info json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio > instance.txt
python ./jschema.py
$ echo "show stats json" | socat /var/run/haproxy.stat stdio > instance.txt

Add a json parameter to show (info|stat) which will output information
in JSON format. A follow-up patch will add a JSON schema which describes
the format of the JSON output of these commands.
The JSON output is without any extra whitespace in order to reduce the
volume of output. For human consumption passing the output through a

STAT_STARTED has bee added in order to track if show output has begun or
not. This is used in order to allow the JSON output routines to only insert
a "," between elements when needed. I would value any feedback on how this
might be done better.

This option can be used to enable or to disable (prefixing the option line with
the "no" keyword) the sending of fragmented payload to agents. By default, this
option is enabled.
These options can be used to enable or to disable (prefixing the option line
with the "no" keyword), respectively, pipelined and asynchronous exchanged
between HAproxy and agents. By default, pipelining and async options are
enabled.
Now, when a payload is fragmented, the first frame must define the frame type
and the followings must use the special type SPOE_FRM_T_UNSET. This way, it is
easy to know if a fragment is the first one or not. Of course, all frames must
still share the same stream-id and frame-id.
Update SPOA example accordingly.
Now, as for peers, we use an opaque pointer to store information related to the
SPOE filter in appctx structure. These information are now stored in a dedicated
structure (spoe_appctx) and allocated, using a pool, when the applet is created.
This removes the dependency between applets and the SPOE filter and avoids to
eventually inflate the appctx structure.
Now, HAProxy and agents can announce the support for "pipelining" and/or "async"
capabilities during the HELLO handshake. For now, HAProxy always announces the
support of both. In addition, in its HELLO frames. HAproxy adds the "engine-id"
key. It is a uniq string that identify a SPOE engine.
The "pipelining" capability is the ability for a peer to decouple NOTIFY and ACK
frames. This is a symmectical capability. To be used, it must be supported by
HAproxy and agents. Unlike HTTP pipelining, the ACK frames can be send in any
order, but always on the same TCP connection used for the corresponding NOTIFY
frame.
The "async" capability is similar to the pipelining, but here any TCP connection
established between HAProxy and the agent can be used to send ACK frames. if an
agent accepts connections from multiple HAProxy, it can use the "engine-id"
value to group TCP connections.
Bug introduced with "removes SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version call and cleanup CTX
creation": ssl_sock_new_ctx is called before all the bind line is parsed.
The fix consists of separating the use of default_ctx as the initialization
context of the SSL connection via bind_conf->initial_ctx. Initial_ctx contains
all the necessary parameters before performing the selection of the CTX:
default_ctx is processed as others ctx without unnecessary parameters.
This patch used boringssl's callback to analyse CLientHello before any
handshake to extract key signature capabilities.
Certificat with better signature (ECDSA before RSA) is choosed
transparenty, if client can support it. RSA and ECDSA certificates can
be declare in a row (without order). This makes it possible to set
different ssl and filter parameter with crt-list.
The trash buffers are becoming increasingly complex to deal with due to
the code's modularity allowing some functions to be chained and causing
the same chunk buffers to be used multiple times along the chain, possibly
corrupting each other. In fact the trash were designed from scratch for
explicitly not surviving a function call but string manipulation makes
this impossible most of the time while not fullfilling the need for
reliable temporary chunks.
Here we introduce the ability to allocate a temporary trash chunk which
is reserved, so that it will not conflict with the trash chunks other
functions use, and will even support reentrant calls (eg: build_logline).
For this, we create a new pool which is exactly the size of a usual chunk
buffer plus the size of the chunk struct so that these chunks when allocated
are exactly the same size as the ones returned by get_trash_buffer(). These
chunks may fail so the caller must check them, and the caller is also
responsible for freeing them.
The code focuses on minimal changes and ease of reliable backporting
because it will be needed in stable versions in order to support next
patch.
The function dns_init_resolvers() is used to initialize socket used to

Right now not only we're limited to 8 bits, but it's mentionned nowhere
and the limit was already reached. In addition, pp_opts (proxy protocol
options) were set to 32 bits while only 3 are needed. So let's swap
these two and group them together to avoid leaving two holes in the
structure, saving 64 bits on 64-bit machines.
A recent patch to support BoringSSL caused this warning to appear on
OpenSSL 1.1.0 :
src/ssl_sock.c:3062:4: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
It's caused by SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto() which is now only a macro testing
that the last argument is zero, and the result is not used here. Let's
just kill it for both versions.
Tested with 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1.0. This fix may be backported
to 1.7 if the boringssl fix is as well.
This function was deprecated in 1.1.0 causing this warning :
src/ssl_sock.c:551:3: warning: 'RAND_pseudo_bytes' is deprecated (declared at /opt/openssl-1.1.0/include/openssl/rand.h:47) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
The man suggests to use RAND_bytes() instead. While the return codes
differ, it turns out that the function was already misused and was
relying on RAND_bytes() return code instead.
The patch was tested on 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.1.0.
This fix must be backported to 1.7 and the return code check should
be backported to earlier versions if relevant.
In 1.0.0, this function was replaced with ERR_remove_thread_state().
As of openssl 1.1.0, both are now deprecated and do nothing at all.
Thus we simply make this call do nothing in 1.1.0 to silence the
warning.
The change was tested with 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.1.0.
This kills the following warning on 1.1.0 :
src/ssl_sock.c:7266:9: warning: 'ERR_remove_state' is deprecated (declared at /dev/shm/openssl-1.1.0b/include/openssl/err.h:247) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
This fix should be backported to 1.7.
After the code was ported to support 1.1.0, this one broke on 1.0.0 :
src/shctx.c:406: undefined reference to `SSL_SESSION_set1_id_context'
The function was indeed introduced only in 1.0.1. The build was validated
with 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.1.0.
This fix must be backported to 1.7.
Limitations:
. disable force-ssl/tls (need more work)

"ecdhe", "ciphers" configuration and ssl options.
"crt-base" is also supported to fetch certificates.
The previous version used an O(number of proxies)^2 algo to get the sum of
the number of maxconns of frontends which reference a backend at least once.
This new version adds the frontend's maxconn number to the backend's
struct proxy member 'tot_fe_maxconn' when the backend name is resolved
for switching rules or default_backend statment. At the end, the final
backend's fullconn is computed looping only one time for all on proxies O(n).
The load of a configuration using a large amount of backends (10 thousands)
without configured fullconn was reduced from several minutes to few seconds.
Keeping the address and the port in the same field causes a lot of problems,
specifically on the DNS part where we're forced to cheat on the family to be
able to keep the port. This causes some issues such as some families not being
resolvable anymore.
This patch first moves the service port to a new field "svc_port" so that the
port field is never used anymore in the "addr" field (struct sockaddr_storage).
All call places were adapted (there aren't that many).

debug_hexdump() prints to the requested output stream (typically stdout
or stderr) an hex dump of the blob passed in argument. This is useful
to help debug binary protocols.
Error captures almost always report a state 26 (MSG_ERROR) making it
very hard to know what the parser was expecting. The reason is that
we have to switch to MSG_ERROR to trigger the dump, and then during
the dump we capture the current state which is already MSG_ERROR. With
this change we now copy the current state into an err_state field that
will be reported as the faulty state.
This patch looks a bit large because the parser doesn't update the
current state until it runs out of data so the current state is never
known when jumping to ther error label! Thus the code had to be updated
to take copies of the current state before switching to MSG_ERROR based
on the switch/case values.
As a bonus, it now shows the current state in human-readable form and
not only in numeric form ; in the past it was not an issue since it was
always 26 (MSG_ERROR).
At least now we can get exploitable invalid request/response reports :

It is important to defined analyzers (AN_REQ_* and AN_RES_*) in the same order
they are evaluated in process_stream. This order is really important because
during analyzers evaluation, we run them in the order of the lower bit to the
higher one. This way, when an analyzer adds/removes another one during its
evaluation, we know if it is located before or after it. So, when it adds an
analyzer which is located before it, we can switch to it immediately, even if it
has already been called once but removed since.
With the time, and introduction of new analyzers, this order was broken up. the
main problems come from the filter analyzers. We used values not related with
their evaluation order. Furthermore, we used same values for request and response
analyzers.
So, to fix the bug, filter analyzers have been splitted in 2 distinct lists to
have different analyzers for the request channel than those for the response
channel. And of course, we have moved them to the right place.
Some other analyzers have been reordered to respect the evaluation order:
* AN_REQ_HTTP_TARPIT has been moved just before AN_REQ_SRV_RULES
* AN_REQ_PRST_RDP_COOKIE has been moved just before AN_REQ_STICKING_RULES
* AN_RES_STORE_RULES has been moved just after AN_RES_WAIT_HTTP
Note today we have 29 analyzers, all stored into a 32 bits bitfield. So we can
still add 4 more analyzers before having a problem. A good way to fend off the
problem for a while could be to have a different bitfield for request and
response analyzers.

this adds a support of the newest pcre2 library,
more secure than its older sibling in a cost of a
more complex API.
It works pretty similarly to pcre's part to keep
the overall change smooth, except :
- we define the string class supported at compile time.
- after matching the ovec data is properly sized, althought
we do not take advantage of it here.
- the lack of jit support is treated less 'dramatically'
as pcre2_jit_compile in this case is 'no-op'.
Historically a lot of SSL global settings were stored into the global
struct, but we've reached a point where there are 3 ifdefs in it just
for this, and others in haproxy.c to initialize it.
This patch moves all the private fields to a new struct "global_ssl"
stored in ssl_sock.c. This includes :
char *crt_base;
char *ca_base;
char *listen_default_ciphers;
char *connect_default_ciphers;
int listen_default_ssloptions;
int connect_default_ssloptions;
int tune.sslprivatecache; /* Force to use a private session cache even if nbproc > 1 */
unsigned int tune.ssllifetime; /* SSL session lifetime in seconds */
unsigned int tune.ssl_max_record; /* SSL max record size */
unsigned int tune.ssl_default_dh_param; /* SSL maximum DH parameter size */
int tune.ssl_ctx_cache; /* max number of entries in the ssl_ctx cache. */
The "tune" part was removed (useless here) and the occasional "ssl"
prefixes were removed as well. Thus for example instead of
global.tune.ssl_default_dh_param
we now have :
global_ssl.default_dh_param
A few initializers were present in the constructor, they could be brought
back to the structure declaration.
A few other entries had to stay in global for now. They concern memory
calculationn (used in haproxy.c) and stats (used in stats.c).
The code is already much cleaner now, especially for global.h and haproxy.c
which become readable.
tlskeys_finalize_config() was the only reason for haproxy.c to still
require ifdef and includes for ssl_sock. This one fits perfectly well
in the late initializers so it was changed to be registered with
hap_register_post_check().
There are still a lot of #ifdef USE_OPENSSL in the code (still 43
occurences) because we never know if we can directly access ssl_sock
or not. This patch attacks the problem differently by providing a
way for transport layers to register themselves and for users to
retrieve the pointer. Unregistered transport layers will point to NULL
so it will be easy to check if SSL is registered or not. The mechanism
is very inexpensive as it relies on a two-entries array of pointers,
so the performance will not be affected.
Having it in the ifdef complicates certain operations which require
additional ifdefs just to access a member which could remain zero in
non-ssl cases. Let's move it out, it will not even increase the
struct size on 64-bit machines due to alignment.
This one will be set by the transport layers which want to destroy
a bind_conf. It will typically be used by SSL to release certificates,
CAs and so on.
Instead of hard-coding all SSL preparation in cfgparse.c, we now register
this new function as the transport layer's prepare_bind_conf() and call it
only when definied. This removes some non-obvious SSL-specific code from
cfgparse.c as well as a #ifdef.
This one will be set by the transport layers which want to initialize
a bind_conf. It will typically be used by SSL to load certificates, CAs
and so on.
Most of the SSL functions used to have a proxy argument which was mostly
used to be able to emit clean errors using Alert(). First, many of them
were converted to memprintf() and don't require this pointer anymore.
Second, the rare which still need it also have either a bind_conf argument
or a server argument, both of which carry a pointer to the relevant proxy.
So let's now get rid of it, it needlessly complicates the API and certain
functions already have many arguments.
Historically, all listeners have a pointer to the frontend. But since
the introduction of SSL, we now have an intermediary layer called
bind_conf corresponding to a "bind" line. It makes no sense to have
the frontend on each listener given that it's the same for all
listeners belonging to a same bind_conf. Also certain parts like
SSL can only operate on bind_conf and need the frontend.
This patch fixes this by moving the frontend pointer from the listener
to the bind_conf. The extra indirection is quite cheap given and the
places were this is used are very scarce.
A mistake was made when the socket layer was cut into proto and
transport, the transport was attached to the listener while all
listeners in a single "bind" line always have exactly the same
transport. It doesn't seem obvious but this is the reason why there
are so many #ifdefs USE_OPENSSL in cfgparse : a lot of operations
have to be open-coded because cfgparse only manipulates bind_conf
and we don't have the information of the transport layer here.
Very little code makes use of the transport layer, mainly session
setup and log. These places can afford an extra pointer indirection
(the listener points to the bind_conf). This change is thus very small,
it saves a little bit of memory (8B per listener) and makes the code
more flexible.
This finishes to clean up the zlib-specific parts. It also unbreaks recent
commit b97c6fb ("CLEANUP: compression: use the build options list to report
the algos") which broke USE_ZLIB due to MAXWBITS not being defined anymore
in haproxy.c.
We already had alertif_too_many_args{,_idx}(), but these ones are
specifically designed for use in cfgparse. Outside of it we're
trying to avoid calling Alert() all the time so we need an
equivalent using a pointer to an error message.
These new functions called too_many_args{,_idx)() do exactly this.
They don't take the file name nor the line number which they have
no use for but instead they take an optional pointer to an error
message and the pointer to the error code is optional as well.
With (NULL, NULL) they'll simply check the validity and return a
verdict. They are quite convenient for use in isolated keyword
parsers.
These two new functions as well as the previous ones have all been
exported.
We replaced global.deviceatlas with global_deviceatlas since there's no need
to store all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs,
and now the code is 100% self-contained in da.c. The file da.h was now
removed because it was only used to load dac.h, which is more easily
loaded directly from da.c. It provides another good example of how to
integrate code in the future without touching the core parts.
We replaced global._51degrees with global_51degrees since there's no need
to store all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs,
and now the code is 100% self-contained in 51d.c. The file 51d.h was now
removed because it was only used to load 51Degrees.h, which is more easily
loaded from 51d.c. It provides a good example of how to integrate code in
the future without touching the core parts.
We replaced global.wurfl with global_wurfl since there's no need to store
all this into the global section. This removes the last #ifdefs, and now
the code is 100% self-contained in wurfl.c. It provides a good example of
how to integrate code in the future without touching the core parts.
deinit_51degrees() is not called anymore from haproxy.c, removing
2 #ifdefs and one include. The function was made static. The include
file still includes 51Degrees.h which is needed by global.h and 51d.c
so it was not touched beyond this last function removal.
By registering the deinit function we avoid another #ifdef in haproxy.c.
The ha_wurfl_deinit() function has been made static and unexported. Now
proto/wurfl.h is totally empty, the code being self-contained in wurfl.c,
so the useless .h has been removed.
The 3 device detection engines stop at the same place in deinit()
with the usual #ifdefs. Similar to the other functions we can have
some late deinitialization functions. These functions do not return
anything however so we have to use a different type.
Instead of having a #ifdef in the main init code we now use the registered
init functions. Doing so also enables error checking as errors were previously
reported as alerts but ignored. Also they were incorrect as the 'status'
variable was hidden by a second one and was always reporting DA_SYS (which
is apparently an error) in every case including the case where no file was
loaded. The init_deviceatlas() function was unexported since it's not used
outside of this place anymore.
This removes some #ifdefs from the main haproxy code path. Function
init_51degrees() now returns ERR_* instead of exit(1) on error, and
this function was made static and is not exported anymore.
This removes some #ifdefs from the main haproxy code path and enables
error checking. The current code only makes use of warnings even for
some errors that look serious. While this choice is questionnable, it
has been kept as-is, and only the return codes were adapted to ERR_WARN
to at least report that some warnings were emitted. ha_wurfl_init() was
unexported as it's not needed anymore.
Instead of calling the checks directly from the init code, we now
register the start_checks() function to be run at this point. This
also allows to unexport the check init function and to remove one
include from haproxy.c.
There's a significant amount of late initialization calls which are
performed after the point where we exit in check mode. These calls
are used to allocate resource and perform certain slow operations.
Let's have a way to register some functions which need to be called
there instead of having this multitude of #ifdef in the init path.
Many extensions now report some build options to ease debugging, but
this is now being done at the expense of code maintainability. Let's
provide a registration function to do this so that we can start to
remove most of the #ifdefs from haproxy.c (18 currently just for a
single function).
This one now migrates to the general purpose cli.p0 for the ref pointer,
cli.i0 for the dump_all flag and cli.i1 for the dump_keys_index. A few
comments were added.
The applet.h file doesn't depend on openssl anymore. It's worth noting
that the previous dependency was accidental and only used to work because
all files including this one used to have openssl included prior to
loading this file.
This one now migrates to the general purpose cli.p0 for the proxy pointer,
cli.p1 for the server pointer, and cli.i0 for the proxy's instance if only
one has to be dumped.
Most of the keywords don't need to have their own entry in the appctx
union, they just need to reuse some generic pointers like we've been
used to do in the appctx with st{0,1,2}. This patch adds p0, p1, i0, i1
and initializes them to zero before calling the parser. This way some
of the simplest existing keywords will be able to disappear from the
union.
It's worth noting that this is an extension to what was initially
attempted via the "private" member that I removed a few patches ago by
not understanding how it was supposed to be used. Here the fact that
we share the same union will force us to be stricter: the code either
uses the general purpose variables or it uses its own fields but not
both.
The appctx storage became a real mess along the years. It now contains
mostly CLI-specific parts that share the same storage as the "cli" part
which in fact only contains the fields needed to pass an error message
to the caller, and it also has room a few other regular applets which
may become more and more common.
This first patch moves the parts around in the union so that all
standard applet parts are grouped together and the CLI-specific ones
are grouped together. It also adds a few comments to indicate what
certain parts are used for since it's sometimes a bit confusing.
The struct hlua size is 128 bytes. The size is the biggest of all the elements
of the union embedded in the appctx struct. With HTTP2, it is possible that this
appctx struct will be use many times for each connection, so the 128 bytes are
a little bit heavy for the global memory consomation.
This patch replace the embbeded hlua struct by a pointer and an associated memory
pool. Now, the memory for lua is allocated only if it is required.
[wt: the appctx is now down to 160 bytes]
Just like previous patch, this was the only other user of the "private"
field of the applet. It used to store a copy of the keyword's action.
Let's just put it into ->table->action and use it from there. It also
slightly simplifies the code by removing a few pointer to integer casts.
We have very few users of the appctx's private field which was introduced
prior to the split of the CLI. Unfortunately it was not removed after the
end. This commit simply introduces hlua_cli->fcn which is the pointer to
the Lua function that the Lua code used to store in this private pointer.
This problem is already detected here:
8dc7316a6f
Another case raises. Now HAProxy sends a final message (typically
with "http-request deny"). Once the the message is sent, the response
channel flags are not modified.
HAProxy executes a Lua sample-fecthes for building logs, and the
result is ignored because the response flag remains set to the value
HTTP_MSG_RPBEFORE. So the Lua function hlua_check_proto() want to
guarantee the valid state of the buffer and ask for aborting the
request.
The function check_proto() is not the good way to ensure request
consistency. The real question is not "Are the message valid ?", but
"Are the validity of message unchanged ?"
This patch memorize the parser state before entering int the Lua
code, and perform a check when it go out of the Lua code. If the parser
state change for down, the request is aborted because the HTTP message
is degraded.
This patch should be backported in version 1.6 and 1.7
Fixing the build using LibreSSL as OpenSSL implementation.
Currently, LibreSSL 2.4.4 provides the same API of OpenSSL 1.0.1x,
but it redefine the OpenSSL version number as 2.0.x, breaking all
checks with OpenSSL 1.1.x.
The patch solves the issue checking the definition of the symbol
LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER when Openssl 1.1.x features are requested.
When an entity tries to get a buffer, if it cannot be allocted, for example
because the number of buffers which may be allocated per process is limited,
this entity is added in a list (called <buffer_wq>) and wait for an available
buffer.
Historically, the <buffer_wq> list was logically attached to streams because it
were the only entities likely to be added in it. Now, applets can also be
waiting for a free buffer. And with filters, we could imagine to have more other
entities waiting for a buffer. So it make sense to have a generic list.
Anyway, with the current design there is a bug. When an applet failed to get a
buffer, it will wait. But we add the stream attached to the applet in
<buffer_wq>, instead of the applet itself. So when a buffer is available, we
wake up the stream and not the waiting applet. So, it is possible to have
waiting applets and never awakened.
So, now, <buffer_wq> is independant from streams. And we really add the waiting
entity in <buffer_wq>. To be generic, the entity is responsible to define the
callback used to awaken it.
In addition, applets will still request an input buffer when they become
active. But they will not be sleeped anymore if no buffer are available. So this
is the responsibility to the applet I/O handler to check if this buffer is
allocated or not. This way, an applet can decide if this buffer is required or
not and can do additional processing if not.
[wt: backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
A stream can be awakened for different reasons. During its processing, it can be
early stopped if no buffer is available. In this situation, the reason why the
stream was awakened is lost, because we rely on the task state, which is reset
after each processing loop.
In many cases, that's not a big deal. But it can be useful to accumulate the
task states if the stream processing is interrupted, especially if some filters
need to be called.
To be clearer, here is an simple example:
1) A stream is awakened with the reason TASK_WOKEN_MSG.
2) Because no buffer is available, the processing is interrupted, the stream
is back to sleep. And the task state is reset.
3) Some buffers become available, so the stream is awakened with the reason
TASK_WOKEN_RES. At this step, the previous reason (TASK_WOKEN_MSG) is lost.
Now, the task states are saved for a stream and reset only when the stream
processing is not interrupted. The correspoing bitfield represents the pending
events for a stream. And we use this one instead of the task state during the
stream processing.
Note that TASK_WOKEN_TIMER and TASK_WOKEN_RES are always removed because these
events are always handled during the stream processing.
[wt: backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
<run_queue> is used to track the number of task in the run queue and
<run_queue_cur> is a copy used for the reporting purpose. These counters has
been renamed, respectively, <tasks_run_queue> and <tasks_run_queue_cur>. So the
naming is consistent between tasks and applets.
[wt: needed for next fixes, backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
As for tasks, 2 counters has been added to track :
* the total number of applets : nb_applets
* the number of active applets : applets_active_queue
[wt: needed for next fixes, to backport to 1.7 and 1.6]
(http|tcp)-(request|response) action cannot take arguments from the
configuration file. Arguments are useful for executing the action with
a special context.
This patch adds the possibility of passing arguments to an action. It
runs exactly like sample fetches and other Lua wrappers.
Note that this patch implements a 'TODO'.
Commit 5fddab0 ("OPTIM: stream_interface: disable reading when
CF_READ_DONTWAIT is set") improved the connection layer's efficiency
back in 1.5-dev13 by avoiding successive read attempts on an active
FD. But by disabling this on a polled FD, it causes an unpleasant
side effect which is that the FD that was subscribed to polling is
suddenly stopped and may need to be re-enabled once the kernel
starts to slow down on data eviction (eg: saturated server at the
other end, bursty traffic caused by too large maxpollevents).
This behaviour is observable with persistent connections when there
is a large enough connection count so that there's no data in the
early connection and polling is required, because there are then
up to 4 epoll_ctl() calls per request. It's important that the
server is slower than haproxy to cause some delays when reading
response.
The current connection layer as designed in 1.6 with the FD cache
doesn't require this trick anymore, though it still benefits from
it when it saves an FD from being uselessly polled. But compared
to the increased cost of enabling and disabling poll all the time,
it's still better to disable it. In some cases it's possible to
observe a performance increase as high as 30% by avoiding this
epoll_ctl() dance.
In the end we only want to disable it when the FD is speculatively
read and not when it's polled. For this we introduce a new function
__conn_data_done_recv() which is used to indicate that we're done
with recv() and not interested in new attempts. If/when we later
support event-triggered epoll, this function will have to change
a bit to do the same even in the polled case.
A quick test with keep-alive requests run on a dual-core / dual-
thread Atom shows a significant improvement :
single process, 0 bytes :
before: Requests per second: 12243.20 [#/sec] (mean)
after: Requests per second: 13354.54 [#/sec] (mean)
single process, 4k :
before: Requests per second: 9639.81 [#/sec] (mean)
after: Requests per second: 10991.89 [#/sec] (mean)
dual process, 0 bytes (unstable) :
before: Requests per second: 16900-19800 ~ 17600 [#/sec] (mean)
after: Requests per second: 18600-21400 ~ 20500 [#/sec] (mean)
It already returns an empty string when the field is empty, but as a
preventive measure we should do the same when the string itself is a
NULL. While it is not supposed to happen, it will make the code more
resistant against failed allocations and unexpected results.
This fix should be backported to 1.7.
Historically we used to have the stick counters processing put into
session.c which became stream.c. But a big part of it is now in
stick-table.c (eg: converters) but despite this we still have all
the sample fetch functions in stream.c
These parts do not depend on the stream anymore, so let's move the
remaining chunks to stick-table.c and have cleaner files.
What remains in stream.c is everything needed to attach/detach
trackers to the stream and to update the counters while the stream
is being processed.
There's no more reason to keep tcp rules processing inside proto_tcp.c
given that there is nothing in common there except these 3 letters : tcp.
The tcp rules are in fact connection, session and content processing rules.
Let's move them to "tcp-rules" and let them live their life there.
We used to have 3 types of counters with a huge overlap :
- listener counters : stats collected for each bind line
- proxy counters : union of the frontend and backend counters
- server counters : stats collected per server
It happens that quite a good part was common between listeners and
proxies due to the frontend counters being updated at the two locations,
and that similarly the server and proxy counters were overlapping and
being updated together.
This patch cleans this up to propose only two types of counters :
- fe_counters: used by frontends and listeners, related to
incoming connections activity
- be_counters: used by backends and servers, related to outgoing
connections activity
This allowed to remove some non-sensical counters from both parts. For
frontends, the following entries were removed :
cum_lbconn, last_sess, nbpend_max, failed_conns, failed_resp,
retries, redispatches, q_time, c_time, d_time, t_time
For backends, this ones was removed : intercepted_req.
While doing this it was discovered that we used to incorrectly report
intercepted_req for backends in the HTML stats, which was always zero
since it's never updated.
Also it revealed a few inconsistencies (which were not fixed as they
are harmless). For example, backends count connections (cum_conn)
instead of sessions while servers count sessions and not connections.
Over the long term, some extra cleanups may be performed by having
some counters update functions touching both the server and backend
at the same time, as well as both the frontend and listener, to
ensure that all sides have all their stats properly filled. The stats
dump will also be able to factor the dump functions by counter types.
Reinhard Vicinus reported that the reported average response times cannot
be larger than 16s due to the double multiply being performed by
swrate_add() which causes an overflow very quickly. Indeed, with N=512,
the highest average value is 16448.
One solution proposed by Reinhard is to turn to long long, but this
involves 64x64 multiplies and 64->32 divides, which are extremely
expensive on 32-bit platforms.
There is in fact another way to avoid the overflow without using larger
integers, it consists in avoiding the multiply using the fact that
x*(n-1)/N = x-(x/N).
Now it becomes possible to store average values as large as 8.4 millions,
which is around 2h18mn.
Interestingly, this improvement also makes the code cheaper to execute
both on 32 and on 64 bit platforms :
Before :
00000000 <swrate_add>:
0: 8b 54 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%edx
4: 8b 0a mov (%edx),%ecx
6: 89 c8 mov %ecx,%eax
8: c1 e0 09 shl $0x9,%eax
b: 29 c8 sub %ecx,%eax
d: 8b 4c 24 0c mov 0xc(%esp),%ecx
11: c1 e8 09 shr $0x9,%eax
14: 01 c8 add %ecx,%eax
16: 89 02 mov %eax,(%edx)
After :
00000020 <swrate_add>:
20: 8b 4c 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%ecx
24: 8b 44 24 0c mov 0xc(%esp),%eax
28: 8b 11 mov (%ecx),%edx
2a: 01 d0 add %edx,%eax
2c: 81 c2 ff 01 00 00 add $0x1ff,%edx
32: c1 ea 09 shr $0x9,%edx
35: 29 d0 sub %edx,%eax
37: 89 01 mov %eax,(%ecx)
This fix may be backported to 1.6.
When dealing with many proxies, it's hard to spot response errors because
all internet-facing frontends constantly receive attacks. This patch now
makes it possible to demand that only request or response errors are dumped
by appending "request" or "reponse" to the show errors command.
The function log format emit its own error message using Alert(). This
patch replaces this behavior and uses the standard HAProxy error system
(with memprintf).
The benefits are:
- cleaning the log system
- the logformat can ignore the caller (actually the caller must set
a flag designing the caller function).
- Make the usage of the logformat function easy for future components.
Commit 1866d6d ("MEDIUM: ssl: Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0")
introduced support for openssl 1.1.0 and temporarily broke 0.9.8.
In the end the port was not very hard given that the only cause of
build failures were functions supposedly absent from 0.9.8 that in
fact did exist.
Thus, adding a new #if to move these functions for versions older
than 0.9.8 was enough to fix the trouble. It received very light
testing, basically only an SSL bridge decrypting and re-encrypting
traffic, and checking that everything looks right. That said, the
functions specific to 0.9.8 here compared to 1.0.x are only
SSL_SESSION_set1_id_context(), EVP_PKEY_base_id(), and
X509_PUBKEY_get0_param().
Until now, the function parse_logformat_string() never fails. It
send warnings when it parses bad format, and returns expression in
best effort.
This patch replaces warnings by alert and returns a fail code.
Maybe the warning mode is designed for a compatibility with old
configuration versions. If it is the case, now this compatibility
is broken.
[wt: no, the reason is that an alert must cause a startup failure,
but this will be OK with next patch]
The log-format function parse_logformat_string() takes file and line
for building parsing logs. These two parameters are embedded in the
struct proxy curproxy, which is the current parsing context.
This patch removes these two unused arguments.
Remove export of the fucntion parse_logformat_var_args() and
parse_logformat_var(). These functions are a part of the
logformat parser, and this export is useless.
We get this when Lua is disabled, just a missing include.
In file included from src/queue.c:18:0:
include/proto/server.h:51:39: warning: 'struct appctx' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
This way we don't have any more state specific to a given yieldable
command. The other commands should be easier to move as they only
involve a parser.
It really belongs to proto_http.c since it's a dump for HTTP request
and response errors. Note that it's possible that some parts do not
need to be exported anymore since it really is the only place where
errors are manipulated.
The table dump code was a horrible mess, with common parts interleaved
all the way to deal with the various actions (set/clear/show). A few
error messages were still incorrect, as the "set" operation did not
update them so they would still report "unknown action" (now fixed).
The action was now passed as a private argument to the CLI keyword
which itself is copied into the appctx private field. It's just an
int cast to a pointer.
Some minor issues were noticed while doing this, for example when dumping
an entry by key, if the key doesn't exist, nothing is printed, not even
the table's header. It's unclear whether this was intentional but it
doesn't really match what is done for data-based dumps. It was left
unchanged for now so that a later fix can be backported if needed.
Enum entries STAT_CLI_O_TAB, STAT_CLI_O_CLR and STAT_CLI_O_SET were
removed.
Move the "show info" command to stats.c using the CLI keyword API
to register it on the CLI. The stats_dump_info_to_buffer() function
is now static again. Note, we don't need proto_ssl anymore in cli.c.
Move the "show stat" command to stats.c using the CLI keyword API
to register it on the CLI. The stats_dump_stat_to_buffer() function
is now static again.
Move 'show sess' CLI functions to stream.c and use the cli keyword API
to register it on the CLI.
[wt: the choice of stream vs session makes sense because since 1.6 these
really are streams that we're dumping and not sessions anymore]
Several CLI commands require a frontend, so let's have a function to
look this one up and prepare the appropriate error message and the
appctx's state in case of failure.
Several CLI commands require a server, so let's have a function to
look this one up and prepare the appropriate error message and the
appctx's state in case of failure.
Move map and acl CLI functions to map.c and use the cli keyword API to
register actions on the CLI. Then remove the now unused individual
"add" and "del" keywords.
proto/dumpstats.h has been split in 4 files:
* proto/cli.h contains protypes for the CLI
* proto/stats.h contains prototypes for the stats
* types/cli.h contains definition for the CLI
* types/stats.h contains definition for the stats
These functions will be needed by "show sess" on the CLI, let's make them
globally available. It's important to note that due to the fact that we
still do not set the data and transport layers' names in the structures,
we still have to rely on some exports just to match the pointers. This is
ugly but is preferable to adding many includes since the short-term goal
is to get rid of these tests by having proper names in place.
uint16_t instead of u_int16_t
None ISO fields of struct tm are not present, but
by zeroyfing it, on GNU and BSD systems tm_gmtoff
field will be set.
[wt: moved the memset into each of the date functions]
Setting an FD to -1 when closed isn't the most easily noticeable thing
to do when we're chasing accidental reuse of a stale file descriptor.
Instead set it to that large a negative value that it will overflow the
fdtab and provide an analysable core at the moment the issue happens.
Care was taken to ensure it doesn't overflow nor change sign on 32-bit
machines when multiplied by fdtab, and that it also remains negative for
the various checks that exist. The value equals 0xFDDEADFD which happens
to be easily spotted in a debugger.
The bug described in commit 568743a ("BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int: completely
detach connection on connect error") was not a stream-interface layer bug
but a connection layer bug. There was exactly one place in the code where
we could change a file descriptor's status without first checking whether
it is valid or not, it was in conn_stop_polling(). This one is called when
the polling status is changed after an update, and calls fd_stop_both even
if we had already closed the file descriptor :
1479388298.484240 ->->->->-> conn_fd_handler > conn_cond_update_polling
1479388298.484240 ->->->->->-> conn_cond_update_polling > conn_stop_polling

1479388298.484243 conn_fd_handler < conn_cond_update_polling
The problem with the previous fix above is that it break the http_proxy mode
and possibly even some Lua parts and peers to a certain extent ; all outgoing
connections where the target address is initially copied into the outgoing
connection which experience a retry would use a random outgoing address after
the retry because closing and detaching the connection causes the target
address to be lost. This was attempted to be addressed by commit 0857d7a
("BUG/MAJOR: stream: properly mark the server address as unset on connect
retry") but it used to only solve the most visible effect and not the root
cause.
Prior to this fix, it was possible to cause this config to keep CLOSE_WAIT
for as long as it takes to expire a client or server timeout (note the
missing client timeout) :
listen test
mode http
bind :8002
server s1 127.0.0.1:8001
$ tcploop 8001 L0 W N20 A R P100 S:"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-length: 0\r\n\r\n" &
$ tcploop 8002 N200 C T W S:"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" O P10000 K
With this patch, these CLOSE_WAIT properly vanish when both processes leave.
This commit reverts the two fixes above and replaces them with the proper
fix in connection.h. It must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5. Thanks to
Robson Roberto Souza Peixoto for providing very detailed traces showing
some obvious inconsistencies leading to finding this bug.
This pointer will be used for storing private context. With this,
the same executed function can handle more than one keyword. This
will be very useful for creation Lua cli bindings.
The release function is called when the command is terminated (give
back the hand to the prompt) or when the session is broken (timeout
or client closed).
Commit d7c9196 ("MAJOR: filters: Add filters support") removed sample.h
from proto_http.h, but it has become necessary as of commit fd7edd3
("MINOR: Move http method enum from proto_http to sample") in order
to have HTTP_METH_*. Due to this, the "debug/flags" utility doesn't
build anymore.
A new "option spop-check" statement has been added to enable server health
checks based on SPOP HELLO handshake. SPOP is the protocol used by SPOE filters
to talk to servers.
SPOE makes possible the communication with external components to retrieve some
info using an in-house binary protocol, the Stream Processing Offload Protocol
(SPOP). In the long term, its aim is to allow any kind of offloading on the
streams. This first version, besides being experimental, won't do lot of
things. The most important today is to validate the protocol design and lay the
foundations of what will, one day, be a full offload engine for the stream
processing.
So, for now, the SPOE can offload the stream processing before "tcp-request
content", "tcp-response content", "http-request" and "http-response" rules. And
it only supports variables creation/suppression. But, in spite of these limited
features, we can easily imagine to implement a SSO solution, an ip reputation
service or an ip geolocation service.
Internally, the SPOE is implemented as a filter. So, to use it, you must use
following line in a proxy proxy section:
frontend my-front
...
filter spoe [engine <name>] config <file>
...
It uses its own configuration file to keep the HAProxy configuration clean. It
is also a easy way to disable it by commenting out the filter line.
See "doc/SPOE.txt" for all details about the SPOE configuration.
It does the opposite of 'set-var' action/converter. It is really useful for
per-process variables. But, it can be used for any scope.
The lua function 'unset_var' has also been added.
Now it is possible to use variables attached to a process. The scope name is
'proc'. These variables are released only when HAProxy is stopped.
'tune.vars.proc-max-size' directive has been added to confiure the maximum
amount of memory used by "proc" variables. And because memory accounting is
hierachical for variables, memory for "proc" vars includes memory for "sess"
vars.
This function, unsurprisingly, sets a variable value only if it already
exists. In other words, this function will succeed only if the variable was
found somewhere in the configuration during HAProxy startup.
It will be used by SPOE filter. So an agent will be able to set a value only for
existing variables. This prevents an agent to create a very large number of
unused variables to flood HAProxy and exhaust the memory reserved to variables..
This code has been moved from haproxy.c to sample.c and the function
release_sample_expr can now be called from anywhere to release a sample
expression. This function will be used by the stream processing offload engine
(SPOE).
A scope is a section name between square bracket, alone on its line, ie:
[scope-name]
...
The spaces at the beginning and at the end of the line are skipped. Comments at
the end of the line are also skipped.
When a scope is parsed, its name is saved in the global variable
cfg_scope. Initially, cfg_scope is NULL and it remains NULL until a valid scope
line is parsed.
This feature remains unused in the HAProxy configuration file and
undocumented. However, it will be used during SPOE configuration parsing.
This feature will be used by the stream processing offload engine (SPOE) to
parse dedicated configuration files without mixing HAProxy sections with SPOE
sections.
So, here we can back up all sections known by HAProxy, unregister all of them
and add new ones, dedicted to the SPOE. Once the SPOE configuration file parsed,
we can roll back all changes by restoring HAProxy sections.
New callbacks have been added to handle creation and destruction of filter
instances:
* 'attach' callback is called after a filter instance creation, when it is
attached to a stream. This happens when the stream is started for filters
defined on the stream's frontend and when the backend is set for filters
declared on the stream's backend. It is possible to ignore the filter, if
needed, by returning 0. This could be useful to have conditional filtering.
* 'detach' callback is called when a filter instance is detached from a stream,
before its destruction. This happens when the stream is stopped for filters
defined on the stream's frontend and when the analyze ends for filters defined
on the stream's backend.
In addition, the callback 'stream_set_backend' has been added to know when a
backend is set for a stream. It is only called when the frontend and the backend
are not the same. And it is called for all filters attached to a stream
(frontend and backend).
Finally, the TRACE filter has been updated.
It is very common when validating a configuration out of production not to
have access to the same resolvers and to fail on server address resolution,
making it difficult to test a configuration. This option simply appends the
"none" method to the list of address resolution methods for all servers,
ensuring that even if the libc fails to resolve an address, the startup
sequence is not interrupted.
This will allow a server to automatically fall back to an explicit numeric
IP address when all other methods fail. The address is simply specified in
the address list.
This new setting supports a comma-delimited list of methods used to
resolve the server's FQDN to an IP address. Currently supported methods
are "libc" (use the regular libc's resolver) and "last" (use the last
known valid address found in the state file).
The list is implemented in a 32-bit integer, because each init-addr
method only requires 3 bits. The last one must always be SRV_IADDR_END
(0), allowing to store up to 10 methods in a single 32 bit integer.
Note: the doc is provided at the end of this series.
This adds new "hold" timers : nx, refused, timeout, other. This timers
will be used to tell HAProxy to keep an erroneous response as valid for
the corresponding period. For now they're only configured, not enforced.
It will be important to help debugging some DNS resolution issues to
know why a server was marked down, so let's make the function support
a 3rd argument with an indication of the reason. Passing NULL will keep
the message as-is.
This flag has to be set when an IP address resolution fails (either
using libc at start up or using HAProxy's runtime resolver). This will
automatically trigger the administrative status "MAINT", through the
global mask SRV_ADMF_MAINT.
Server addresses are not resolved anymore upon the first pass so that we
don't fail if an address cannot be resolved by the libc. Instead they are
processed all at once after the configuration is fully loaded, by the new
function srv_init_addr(). This function only acts on the server's address
if this address uses an FQDN, which appears in server->hostname.
For now the function does two things, to followup with HAProxy's historical
default behavior:
1. apply server IP address found in server-state file if runtime DNS
resolution is enabled for this server
2. use the DNS resolver provided by the libc
If none of the 2 options above can find an IP address, then an error is
returned.
All of this will be needed to support the new server parameter "init-addr".
For now, the biggest user-visible change is that all server resolution errors
are dumped at once instead of causing a startup failure one by one.
In the last release a lot of the structures have become opaque for an
end user. This means the code using these needs to be changed to use the
proper functions to interact with these structures instead of trying to
manipulate them directly.
This does not fix any deprecations yet that are part of 1.1.0, it only
ensures that it can be compiled against that version and is still
compatible with older ones.
[wt: openssl-0.9.8 doesn't build with it, there are conflicts on certain
function prototypes which we declare as inline here and which are
defined differently there. But openssl-0.9.8 is not supported anymore
so probably it's OK to go without it for now and we'll see later if
some users still need it. Emeric has reviewed this change and didn't
spot anything obvious which requires special care. Let's try it for
real now]
The only reason wurfl/wurfl.h was needed outside of wurfl.c was to expose
wurfl_handle which is a pointer to a structure, referenced by global.h.
By just storing a void* there instead, we can confine all wurfl code to
wurfl.c, which is really nice.
WURFL is a high-performance and low-memory footprint mobile device
detection software component that can quickly and accurately detect
over 500 capabilities of visiting devices. It can differentiate between
portable mobile devices, desktop devices, SmartTVs and any other types
of devices on which a web browser can be installed.
In order to add WURFL device detection support, you would need to
download Scientiamobile InFuze C API and install it on your system.

Right now there is an issue with the way the maintenance flags are
propagated upon startup. They are not propagate, just copied from the
tracked server. This implies that depending on the server's order, some
tracking servers may not be marked down. For example this configuration
does not work as expected :
server s1 1.1.1.1:8000 track s2
server s2 1.1.1.1:8000 track s3
server s3 1.1.1.1:8000 track s4
server s4 wtap:8000 check inter 1s disabled
It results in s1/s2 being up, and s3/s4 being down, while all of them
should be down.
The only clean way to process this is to run through all "root" servers
(those not tracking any other server), and to propagate their state down
to all their trackers. This is the same algorithm used to propagate the
state changes. It has to be done both to compute the IDRAIN flag and the
IMAINT flag. However, doing so requires that tracking servers are not
marked as inherited maintenance anymore while parsing the configuration
(and given that it is wrong, better drop it).
This fix also addresses another side effect of the bug above which is
that the IDRAIN/IMAINT flags are stored in the state files, and if
restored while the tracked server doesn't have the equivalent flag,
the servers may end up in a situation where it's impossible to remove
these flags. For example in the configuration above, after removing
"disabled" on server s4, the other servers would have remained down,
and not anymore with this fix. Similarly, the combination of IMAINT
or IDRAIN with their respective forced modes was not accepted on
reload, which is wrong as well.
This bug has been present at least since 1.5, maybe even 1.4 (it came
with tracking support). The fix needs to be backported there, though
the srv-state parts are irrelevant.
This commit relies on previous patch to silence warnings on startup.
We used to have 7 different character classes, each was 256 bytes long,
resulting in almost 2kB being used in the L1 cache. It's as cheap to
test a bit than to check the byte is not null, so let's store a 7-bit
composite value and check for the respective bits there instead.
The executable is now 4 kB smaller and the performance on small
objects increased by about 1% to 222k requests/second with a config
involving 4 http-request rules including 1 header lookup, one header
replacement, and 2 variable assignments.
There's no reason to use the stream anymore, only the appctx should be
used by a peer. This was a leftover from the migration to appctx and it
caused some confusion, so let's totally drop it now. Note that half of
the patch are just comment updates.
For active servers, this is the sum of the eweights of all active
servers before this one in the backend, and
[srv->cumulative_weight .. srv_cumulative_weight + srv_eweight) is a
space occupied by this server in the range [0 .. lbprm.tot_wact), and
likewise for backup servers with tot_wbck. This allows choosing a
server or a range of servers proportional to their weight, by simple
integer comparison.

0 will mean no balancing occurs; otherwise it represents the ratio
between the highest-loaded server and the average load, times 100 (i.e.
a value of 150 means a 1.5x ratio), assuming equal weights.

This commit introduces "tcp-request session" rules. These are very
much like "tcp-request connection" rules except that they're processed
after the handshake, so it is possible to consider SSL information and
addresses rewritten by the proxy protocol header in actions. This is
particularly useful to track proxied sources as this was not possible
before, given that tcp-request content rules are processed after each
HTTP request. Similarly it is possible to assign the proxied source
address or the client's cert to a variable.
This is in order to make integration of tcp-request-session cleaner :
- tcp_exec_req_rules() was renamed tcp_exec_l4_rules()
- LI_O_TCP_RULES was renamed LI_O_TCP_L4_RULES
(LI_O_*'s horrible indent was also fixed and a provision was left
for L5 rules).
These are denied conns. Strangely this wasn't emitted while it used to be
available for a while. It corresponds to the number of connections blocked
by "tcp-request connection reject".
To register a new cli keyword, you need to declare a cli_kw_list
structure in your source file:
static struct cli_kw_list cli_kws = {{ },{
{ { "test", "list", NULL }, "test list : do some tests on the cli", test_parsing, NULL },
{ { NULL }, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL }
}};
And then register it:
cli_register_kw(&cli_kws);
The first field is an array of 5 elements, where you declare the
keywords combination which will match, it must be ended by a NULL
element.
The second field is used as a usage message, it will appear in the help
of the cli, you can set it to NULL if you don't want to show it, it's a
good idea if you want to overwrite some existing keywords.
The two last fields are callbacks.
The first one is used at parsing time, you can use it to parse the
arguments of your keywords and print small messages. The function must
return 1 in case of a failure, otherwise 0:
#include <proto/dumpstats.h>
static int test_parsing(char **args, struct appctx *appctx)
{
struct chunk out;
if (!*args[2]) {
appctx->ctx.cli.msg = "Error: the 3rd argument is mandatory !";
appctx->st0 = STAT_CLI_PRINT;
return 1;
}
chunk_reset(&trash);
chunk_printf(&trash, "arg[3]: %s\n", args[2]);
chunk_init(&out, NULL, 0);
chunk_dup(&out, &trash);
appctx->ctx.cli.err = out.str;
appctx->st0 = STAT_CLI_PRINT_FREE; /* print and free in the default cli_io_handler */
return 0;
}
The last field is the IO handler callback, it can be set to NULL if you
want to use the default cli_io_handler() otherwise you can write your
own. You can use the private pointer in the appctx if you need to store
a context or some data. stats_dump_sess_to_buffer() is a good example of
IO handler, IO handlers often use the appctx->st2 variable for the state
machine. The handler must return 0 in case it have to be recall later
otherwise 1.
During the stick-table teaching process which occurs at reloading/restart time,
expiration dates of stick-tables entries were not synchronized between peers.
This patch adds two new stick-table messages to provide such a synchronization feature.
As these new messages are not supported by older haproxy peers protocol versions,
this patch increments peers protol version, from 2.0 to 2.1, to help in detecting/supporting
such older peers protocol implementations so that new versions might still be able
to transparently communicate with a newer one.
[wt: technically speaking it would be nice to have this backported into 1.6
as some people who reload often are affected by this design limitation, but
it's not a totally transparent change that may make certain users feel
reluctant to upgrade older versions. Let's let it cook in 1.7 first and
decide later]
With Linux officially introducing SO_REUSEPORT support in 3.9 and
its mainstream adoption we have seen more people running into strange
SO_REUSEPORT related issues (a process management issue turning into
hard to diagnose problems because the kernel load-balances between the
new and an obsolete haproxy instance).
Also some people simply want the guarantee that the bind fails when
the old process is still bound.
This change makes SO_REUSEPORT configurable, introducing the command
line argument "-dR" and the noreuseport configuration directive.
A backport to 1.6 should be considered.
To avoid issues when porting code to some architecture, we need to know
the endianess the structures are currently used.
This patch simply had a short notice before those structures to report
endianess and ease contributor's job.
New DNS response parser function which turn the DNS response from a
network buffer into a DNS structure, much easier for later analysis
by upper layer.
Memory is pre-allocated at start-up in a chunk dedicated to DNS
response store.
New error code to report a wrong number of queries in a DNS response.
struct dns_query_item: describes a DNS query record
struct dns_answer_item: describes a DNS answer record
struct dns_response_packet: describes a DNS response packet
DNS_MIN_RECORD_SIZE: minimal size of a DNS record
DNS_MAX_QUERY_RECORDS: maximum number of query records we allow.
For now, we send one DNS query per request.
DNS_MAX_ANSWER_RECORDS: maximum number of records we may found in a
response
WIP dns: new MAX values
Current implementation of HAProxy's DNS resolution expect only 512 bytes
of data in the response.
Update DNS_MAX_UDP_MESSAGE to match this.
Backport: can be backported to 1.6
This function can replace update_server_addr() where the need to change the
server's port as well as the IP address is required.
It performs some validation before performing each type of change.
Introduction of 3 new server flags to remember if some parameters were set
during configuration parsing.
* SRV_F_CHECKADDR: this server has a check addr configured
* SRV_F_CHECKPORT: this server has a check port configured
* SRV_F_AGENTADDR: this server has a agent addr configured
HAProxy used to deduce port used for health checks when parsing configuration
at startup time.
Because of this way of working, it makes it complicated to change the port at
run time.
The current patch changes this behavior and makes HAProxy to choose the
port used for health checking when preparing the check task itself.
A new type of error is introduced and reported when no port can be found.
There won't be any impact on performance, since the process to find out the
port value is made of a few 'if' statements.
This patch also introduces a new check state CHK_ST_PORT_MISS: this flag is
used to report an error in the case when HAProxy needs to establish a TCP
connection to a server, to perform a health check but no TCP ports can be
found for it.
And last, it also introduces a new stream termination condition:
SF_ERR_CHK_PORT. Purpose of this flag is to report an error in the event when
HAProxy has to run a health check but no port can be found to perform it.
Trie now uses a dataset structure just like Pattern, so this has been
defined in includes/types/global.h for both Pattern and Trie where it
was just Pattern.
In src/51d.c all functions used by the Trie implementation which need a
dataset as an argument now use the global dataset. The
fiftyoneDegreesDestroy method has now been replaced with
fiftyoneDegreesDataSetFree which is common to Pattern and Trie. In
addition, two extra dataset init status' have been added to the switch
statement in init_51degrees.
A few log format fields were declared but never used, so let's drop
them, the whole list is confusing enough already :
LOG_FMT_VARIABLE, LOG_FMT_T, LOG_FMT_CONN, LOG_FMT_QUEUES.
Tq is the time between the instant the connection is accepted and a
complete valid request is received. This time includes the handshake
(SSL / Proxy-Protocol), the idle when the browser does preconnect and
the request reception.
This patch decomposes %Tq in 3 measurements names %Th, %Ti, and %TR
which returns respectively the handshake time, the idle time and the
duration of valid request reception. It also adds %Ta which reports
the request's active time, which is the total time without %Th nor %Ti.
It replaces %Tt as the total time, reporting accurate measurements for
HTTP persistent connections.
%Th is avalaible for TCP and HTTP sessions, %Ti, %TR and %Ta are only
avalaible for HTTP connections.
In addition to this, we have new timestamps %tr, %trg and %trl, which
log the date of start of receipt of the request, respectively in the
default format, in GMT time and in local time (by analogy with %t, %T
and %Tl). All of them are obviously only available for HTTP. These values
are more relevant as they more accurately represent the request date
without being skewed by a browser's preconnect nor a keep-alive idle
time.
The HTTP log format and the CLF log format have been modified to
use %tr, %TR, and %Ta respectively instead of %t, %Tq and %Tt. This
way the default log formats now produce the expected output for users
who don't want to manually fiddle with the log-format directive.
Example with the following log-format :
log-format "%ci:%cp [%tr] %ft %b/%s h=%Th/i=%Ti/R=%TR/w=%Tw/c=%Tc/r=%Tr/a=%Ta/t=%Tt %ST %B %CC %CS %tsc %ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc %sq/%bq %hr %hs %{+Q}r"
The request was sent by hand using "openssl s_client -connect" :
Aug 23 14:43:20 haproxy[25446]: 127.0.0.1:45636 [23/Aug/2016:14:43:20.221] test~ test/test h=6/i=2375/R=261/w=0/c=1/r=0/a=262/t=2643 200 145 - - ---- 1/1/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1"
=> 6 ms of SSL handshake, 2375 waiting before sending the first char (in
fact the time to type the first line), 261 ms before the end of the request,
no time spent in queue, 1 ms spend connecting to the server, immediate
response, total active time for this request = 262ms. Total time from accept
to close : 2643 ms.
The timing now decomposes like this :
first request 2nd request
|<-------------------------------->|<-------------- ...
t tr t tr ...
---|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|--
: Th Ti TR Tw Tc Tr Td : Ti ...
:<---- Tq ---->: :
:<-------------- Tt -------------->:
:<--------- Ta --------->:
The function ipcpy() simply duplicates the IP address found in one
struct sockaddr_storage into an other struct sockaddr_storage.
It also update the family on the destination structure.
Memory of destination structure must be allocated and cleared by the
caller.
FreeBSD prefers to use IPPROTO_TCP over SOL_TCP, just like it does
with their *_IP counterparts. It's worth noting that there are a few
inconsistencies between SOL_TCP and IPPROTO_TCP in the code, eg on
TCP_QUICKACK. The two values are the same but it's worth applying
what implementations recommend.
No backport is needed, this was uncovered by the recent tcp_info stuff.
Recent commit 93b227d ("MINOR: listener: add the "accept-netscaler-cip"
option to the "bind" keyword") introduced an include of netinet/ip.h
which requires in_systm.h on OpenBSD. No backport is needed.
It is sometimes needed in application server environments to easily tell
if a source is local to the machine or a remote one, without necessarily
knowing all the local addresses (dhcp, vrrp, etc). Similarly in transparent
proxy configurations it is sometimes desired to tell the difference between
local and remote destination addresses.
This patch adds two new sample fetch functions for this :
dst_is_local : boolean
Returns true if the destination address of the incoming connection is local
to the system, or false if the address doesn't exist on the system, meaning
that it was intercepted in transparent mode. It can be useful to apply
certain rules by default to forwarded traffic and other rules to the traffic
targetting the real address of the machine. For example the stats page could
be delivered only on this address, or SSH access could be locally redirected.
Please note that the check involves a few system calls, so it's better to do
it only once per connection.
src_is_local : boolean
Returns true if the source address of the incoming connection is local to the
system, or false if the address doesn't exist on the system, meaning that it
comes from a remote machine. Note that UNIX addresses are considered local.
It can be useful to apply certain access restrictions based on where the
client comes from (eg: require auth or https for remote machines). Please
note that the check involves a few system calls, so it's better to do it only
once per connection.
At some places, smp_dup() is inappropriately called to ensure a modification
is possible while in fact we only need to ensure the sample may be modified
in place. Let's provide smp_is_rw() to check for this capability and
smp_make_rw() to perform the smp_dup() when it is not the case.
Note that smp_is_rw() will also try to add the trailing zero on strings when
needed if possible, to avoid a useless duplication.
These functions ensure that the designated sample is "safe for use",
which means that its size is known, its length is correct regarding its
size, and that strings are properly zero-terminated.
smp_is_safe() only checks (and optionally sets the trailing zero when
needed and possible). smp_make_safe() will call smp_dup() after
smp_is_safe() fails.
Vedran Furac reported a strange problem where the "base" sample fetch
would not always work for tracking purposes.
In fact, it happens that commit bc8c404 ("MAJOR: stick-tables: use sample
types in place of dedicated types") merged in 1.6 exposed a fundamental
bug related to the way samples use chunks as strings. The problem is that
chunks convey a base pointer, a length and an optional size, which may be
zero when unknown or when the chunk is allocated from a read-only location.
The sole purpose of this size is to know whether or not the chunk may be
appended new data. This size cause some semantics issue in the sample,
which has its own SMP_F_CONST flag to indicate read-only contents.
The problem was emphasized by the commit above because it made use of new
calls to smp_dup() to convert a sample to a table key. And since smp_dup()
would only check the SMP_F_CONST flag, it would happily return read-write
samples indicating size=0.
So some tests were added upon smp_dup() return to ensure that the actual
length is smaller than size, but this in fact made things even worse. For
example, the "sni" server directive does some bad stuff on many occasions
because it limits len to size-1 and effectively sets it to -1 and writes
the zero byte before the beginning of the string!
It is therefore obvious that smp_dup() needs to be modified to take this
nature of the chunks into account. It's not enough but is needed. The core
of the problem comes from the fact that smp_dup() is called for 5 distinct
needs which are not always fulfilled :
1) duplicate a sample to keep a copy of it during some operations
2) ensure that the sample is rewritable for a converter like upper()
3) ensure that the sample is terminated with a \0
4) set a correct size on the sample
5) grow the sample in case it was extracted from a partial chunk
Case 1 is not used for now, so we can ignore it. Case 2 indicates the wish
to modify the sample, so its R/O status must be removed if any, but there's
no implied requirement that the chunk becomes larger. Case 3 is used when
the sample has to be made compatible with libc's str* functions. There's no
need to make it R/W nor to duplicate it if it is already correct. Case 4
can happen when the sample's size is required (eg: before performing some
changes that must fit in the buffer). Case 5 is more or less similar but
will happen when the sample by be grown but we want to ensure we're not
bound by the current small size.
So the proposal is to have different functions for various operations. One
will ensure a sample is safe for use with str* functions. Another one will
ensure it may be rewritten in place. And smp_dup() will have to perform an
inconditional duplication to guarantee at least #5 above, and implicitly
all other ones.
This patch only modifies smp_dup() to make the duplication inconditional. It
is enough to fix both the "base" sample fetch and the "sni" server directive,
and all use cases in general though not always optimally. More patches will
follow to address them more optimally and even better than the current
situation (eg: avoid a dup just to add a \0 when possible).
The bug comes from an ambiguous design, so its roots are old. 1.6 is affected
and a backport is needed. In 1.5, the function already existed but was only
used by two converters modifying the data in place, so the bug has no effect
there.
Similar to "escape_chunk", this function tries to prefix all characters
tagged in the <map> with the <escape> character. The specified <string>
contains the input to be escaped.
This enables tracking of sticky counters from current response. The only
difference from "http-request track-sc" is the <key> sample expression
can only make use of samples in response (eg. res.*, status etc.) and
samples below Layer 6.
If an action wrapper stops the processing of the transaction
with a txn_done() function, the return code of the action is
"continue". So the continue can implies the processing of other
like adding headers. However, the HTTP content is flushed and
a segfault occurs.
This patchs add a flag indicating that the Lua code want to
stop the processing, ths flags is forwarded to the haproxy core,
and other actions are ignored.
Must be backported in 1.6
The function txn_done() ends a transaction. It does not make
sense to call this function from a lua sample-fetch wrapper,
because the role of a sample-fetch is not to terminate a
transaction.
This patch modify the role of the fucntion txn_done() if it
is called from a sample-fetch wrapper, now it just ends the
execution of the Lua code like the done() function.
Must be backported in 1.6
Alexander Lebedev reported that the response bit is set on SPARC when
DNS queries are sent. This has been tracked to the endianess issue, so
this patch makes the code portable.
Signed-off-by: Nenad Merdanovic <nmerdan@anine.io>
Alexander Lebedev reported that the DNS parser crashes in 1.6 with a bus
error on Sparc when it receives a response. This is obviously caused by
some alignment issues. The issue can also be reproduced on ARMv5 when
setting /proc/cpu/alignment to 4 (which helps debugging).
Two places cause this crash in turn, the first one is when the IP address
from the packet is compared to the current one, and the second place is
when the address is assigned because an unaligned address is passed to
update_server_addr().
This patch modifies these places to properly use memcpy() and memcmp()
to manipulate the unaligned data.
Nenad Merdanovic found another set of places specific to 1.7 in functions
in_net_ipv4() and in_net_ipv6(), which are used to compare networks. 1.6
has the functions but does not use them. There we perform a temporary copy
to a local variable to fix the problem. The type of the function's argument
is wrong since it's not necessarily aligned, so we change it for a const
void * instead.
This fix must be backported to 1.6. Note that in 1.6 the code is slightly
different, there's no rec[] array, the pointer is used directly from the
buffer.
Originally, tcphdr's source and dest from Linux were used to get the
source and port which led to a build issue on BSD oses.
To avoid side problems related to network then we just use an internal
struct as we need only those two fields.
When realloc fails to allocate memory, the original pointer is not
freed. Sometime people override the original pointer with the pointer
returned by realloc which is NULL in case of failure. This results
in a memory leak because the memory pointed by the original pointer
cannot be freed.
This configures the client-facing connection to receive a NetScaler
Client IP insertion protocol header before any byte is read from the
socket. This is equivalent to having the "accept-netscaler-cip" keyword
on the "bind" line, except that using the TCP rule allows the PROXY
protocol to be accepted only for certain IP address ranges using an ACL.
This is convenient when multiple layers of load balancers are passed
through by traffic coming from public hosts.
When NetScaler application switch is used as L3+ switch, informations
regarding the original IP and TCP headers are lost as a new TCP
connection is created between the NetScaler and the backend server.
NetScaler provides a feature to insert in the TCP data the original data
that can then be consumed by the backend server.
Specifications and documentations from NetScaler:
https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX205670https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2016/04/25/how-to-enable-client-ip-in-tcpip-option-of-netscaler/
When CIP is enabled on the NetScaler, then a TCP packet is inserted just after
the TCP handshake. This is composed as:
- CIP magic number : 4 bytes
Both sender and receiver have to agree on a magic number so that
they both handle the incoming data as a NetScaler Client IP insertion
packet.
- Header length : 4 bytes
Defines the length on the remaining data.
- IP header : >= 20 bytes if IPv4, 40 bytes if IPv6
Contains the header of the last IP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
- TCP header : >= 20 bytes
Contains the header of the last TCP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
The previous dump algorithm was not trying to yield when the buffer is
full, it's not a problem with the TLS_TICKETS_NO which is 3 by default
but it can become one if the buffer size is lowered and if the
TLS_TICKETS_NO is increased.
The index of the latest ticket dumped is now stored to ensure we can
resume the dump after a yield.
The function stats_tlskeys_list() can meet an undefined behavior when
called with appctx->st2 == STAT_ST_LIST, indeed the ref pointer is used
uninitialized.
However this function was using NULL in appctx->ctx.tlskeys.ref as a
flag to dump every tickets from every references. A real flag
appctx->ctx.tlskeys.dump_all is now used for this behavior.
This patch delete the 'ref' variable and use appctx->ctx.tlskeys.ref
directly.
The 'set-src' action was not available for tcp actions The action code
has been converted into a function in proto_tcp.c to be used for both
'http-request' and 'tcp-request connection' actions.
Both http and tcp keywords are registered in proto_tcp.c
htonll()/ntohll() already exist on Solaris 11 with a different declaration,
causing a build error as reported by Jonathan Fisher. They used to exist on
OSX with a #define which allowed us to detect them. It was a bad idea to give
these functions a name subject to conflicts like this. Simply rename them
my_htonll()/my_ntohll() to definitely get rid of the conflict.
This patch must be backported to 1.6.
DNS requests (using the internal resolver) are corrupted since commit
e2f8497716 ("BUG/MINOR: dns: fix DNS header definition").
Fix it by defining the struct in network byte order, while complying
with RFC 2535, section 6.1.
First reported by Eduard Vopicka on discourse.
This must be backported to 1.6 (1.6.5 is affected).
Commit 108b1dd ("MEDIUM: http: configurable http result codes for
http-request deny") introduced in 1.6-dev2 was incomplete. It introduced
a new field "rule_deny_status" into struct http_txn, which is filled only
by actions "http-request deny" and "http-request tarpit". It's then used
in the deny code path to emit the proper error message, but is used
uninitialized when the deny comes from a "reqdeny" rule, causing random
behaviours ranging from returning a 200, an empty response, or crashing
the process. Often upon startup only 200 was returned but after the fields
are used the crash happens. This can be sped up using -dM.
There's no need at all for storing this status in the http_txn struct
anyway since it's used immediately after being set. Let's store it in
a temporary variable instead which is passed as an argument to function
http_req_get_intercept_rule().
As an extra benefit, removing it from struct http_txn reduced the size
of this struct by 8 bytes.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 where the bug was detected. Special
thanks to Falco Schmutz for his detailed report including an exploitable
core and a reproducer.
When compiled with GCC 6, the IP address specified for a frontend was
ignored and HAProxy was listening on all addresses instead. This is
caused by an incomplete copy of a "struct sockaddr_storage".
With the GNU Libc, "struct sockaddr_storage" is defined as this:
struct sockaddr_storage
{
sa_family_t ss_family;
unsigned long int __ss_align;
char __ss_padding[(128 - (2 * sizeof (unsigned long int)))];
};
Doing an aggregate copy (ss1 = ss2) is different than using memcpy():
only members of the aggregate have to be copied. Notably, padding can be
or not be copied. In GCC 6, some optimizations use this fact and if a
"struct sockaddr_storage" contains a "struct sockaddr_in", the port and
the address are part of the padding (between sa_family and __ss_align)
and can be not copied over.
Therefore, we replace any aggregate copy by a memcpy(). There is another
place using the same pattern. We also fix a function receiving a "struct
sockaddr_storage" by copy instead of by reference. Since it only needs a
read-only copy, the function is converted to request a reference.
'channel_analyze' callback has been removed. Now, there are 2 callbacks to
surround calls to analyzers:
* channel_pre_analyze: Called BEFORE all filterable analyzers. it can be
called many times for the same analyzer, once at each loop until the
analyzer finishes its processing. This callback is resumable, it returns a
negative value if an error occurs, 0 if it needs to wait, any other value
otherwise.
* channel_post_analyze: Called AFTER all filterable analyzers. Here, AFTER
means when an analyzer finishes its processing. This callback is NOT
resumable, it returns a negative value if an error occurs, any other value
otherwise.
Pre and post analyzer callbacks are not automatically called. 'pre_analyzers'
and 'post_analyzers' bit fields in the filter structure must be set to the right
value using AN_* flags (see include/types/channel.h).
The flag AN_RES_ALL has been added (AN_REQ_ALL already exists) to ease the life
of filter developers. AN_REQ_ALL and AN_RES_ALL include all filterable
analyzers.
Now, to call an analyzer in 'process_stream' function, we should use
FLT_ANALAYZE or ANALYZE macros, depending if this is a filterable analyzer or
not.
Instead of calling 'channel_analyze' callback with the flag AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS,
now we use the new callback 'http_headers'. This change is done because
'channel_analyze' callback will be removed in a next commit.
As suggested by Pavlos, it's too bad that we didn't have a %Td log
format tag given that there are a few mentions of Td corresponding
to the data transmission time already in the doc, so this is now done.
Just like the other specifiers, we report -1 if the connection failed
before reaching the data transmission state.
int list_append_word(struct list *li, const char *str, char **err)
Append a copy of string <str> (inside a wordlist) at the end of
the list <li>.
The caller is responsible for freeing the <err> and <str> copy memory
area using free().
On failure : return 0 and <err> filled with an error message.
Conforming to RFC 2535, section 6.1. This is not an important bug as
those fields don't seem to be set to something else than 0 and to be
checked on answers.
This is the same issue as "show servers state", where the result is incorrect
it the data can't fit in one buffer. The similar fix is applied, to restart
the data processing where it stopped as buffers are sent to the client.
This fix should be backported to haproxy 1.6
It was reported that the unix socket command "show servers state" returned an
empty response while "show servers state <backend>" worked.
In fact, both cases can reproduce the issue. It happens when the response can't
fit in one buffer.
The fix consists in processing the response in several steps, as it is done in
some others commands, by restarting where it was stopped after the buffer is
sent to the client.
This fix should be backported to haproxy 1.6
In 1.4-dev3, commit 31971e5 ("[MEDIUM] add support for infinite forwarding")
made it possible to configure the lower layer to forward data indefinitely
by setting the forward size to CHN_INFINITE_FORWARD (4GB-1). By then larger
chunk sizes were not supported so there was no confusion in the usage of the
function.
Since 1.5 we support 64-bit content-lengths and chunk sizes and the function
has grown to support 64-bit arguments, though it still limits a single pass
to 32-bit quantities (what fit in the channel's to_forward field). The issue
now becomes that a 4GB-1 content-length can be confused with infinite
forwarding (in fact it's 4GB-1+what was already in the buffer). It causes a
visible effect when transferring this exact size because the transfer rate
is lower than with other sizes due in part to the disabling of the Nagle
algorithm on the sendto() call.
In theory with keep-alive it should prevent a second request from being
processed after such a transfer, but since the analysers are still present,
the forwarding analyser properly counts down the remaining size to transfer
and ultimately the transaction gets correctly reset so there is no visible
effect.
Since the root cause of the issue is an API problem (lack of distinction
between a real valid length and a magic value), this patch modifies the API
to have a new dedicated function called channel_forward_forever() to program
a permanent forwarding. The existing function __channel_forward() was modified
to properly take care of the requested sizes and ensure it 1) never overflows
and 2) never reaches CHN_INFINITE_FORWARD by accident.
It is worth noting that the function used to have a bug causing a 2GB
forward to be scheduled if it was called with less data than what is present
in buf->i. Fortunately this bug couldn't be triggered with existing code.
This fix should be backported to 1.6 and 1.5. While it also theorically
affects 1.4, it's better not to backport it there, as the risk of breaking
large object transfers due to significant API differences is high, compared
to the fact that the largest supported objects (4GB-1) are just slower to
transfer.
Unfortunately, commit 169c470 ("BUG/MEDIUM: channel: fix miscalculation of
available buffer space (3rd try)") was still not enough to completely
address the issue. It fell into an integer comparison trap. Contrary to
expectations, chn->to_forward may also have the sign bit set when
forwarding regular data having a large content-length, resulting in
an incomplete check of the result and of the reserve because the with
to_forward very large, to_forward+o could become very small and also
the reserve could become positive again and make channel_recv_limit()
return a negative value.
One way to reproduce this situation is to transfer a large file (> 2GB)
with http-keep-alive or http-server-close, without splicing, and ensure
that the server uses content-length instead of chunks. The transfer
should stall very early after the first buffer has been transferred
to the client.
This fix now properly checks 1) for an overflow caused by summing o and
to_forward, and 2) for o+to_forward being smaller or larger than maxrw
before performing the subtract, so that all sensitive operations are
properly performed on 33-bit arithmetics.
The code was subjected again to a series of tests using inject+httpterm
scanning a wide range of object sizes (+10MB after each new request) :
$ printf "new page 1\nget 127.0.0.1:8002 / s=%%s0m\n" | \
inject64 -o 1 -u 1 -f /dev/stdin
With previous fix, the transfer would suddenly stop when reaching 2GB :
hits ^hits hits/s ^h/s bytes kB/s last errs tout htime sdht ptime
203 1 2 1 216816173354 2710202 3144892 0 0 685.0 0.0 685.0
205 2 2 2 219257283186 2706880 2441109 0 0 679.5 6.5 679.5
205 0 2 0 219257283186 2673836 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0
205 0 2 0 219257283186 2641622 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0
205 0 2 0 219257283186 2610174 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0
Now it's fine even past 4 GB.
Many thanks to Vedran Furac for reporting this issue early with a common
access pattern helping to troubleshoot this.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5 where the commit above was
already backported.
This function returns non-zero if the channel is congested with data in
transit waiting for leaving, indicating to the caller that it should wait
for the reserve to be released before starting to process new data in
case it needs the ability to append data. This is meant to be used while
waiting for a clean response buffer before processing a request.
Add opaque data between the filter keyword registrering and the parsing
function. This opaque data allow to use the same parser with differents
registered keywords. The opaque data is used for giving data which mainly
makes difference between the two keywords.
It will be used with Lua keywords registering.
This is very useful in complex architecture systems where HAproxy
is balancing DB connections for example. We want to keep the maxconn
high in order to avoid issues with queueing on the LB level when
there is slowness on another part of the system. Example is a case of
an architecture where each thread opens multiple DB connections, which
if get stuck in queue cause a snowball effect (old connections aren't
closed, new ones cannot be established). These connections are mostly
idle and the DB server has no problem handling thousands of them.
Allowing us to dynamically set maxconn depending on the backend usage
(LA, CPU, memory, etc.) enables us to have high maxconn for situations
like above, but lowering it in case there are real issues where the
backend servers become overloaded (cache issues, DB gets hit hard).
Latest fix 8a32106 ("BUG/MEDIUM: channel: fix miscalculation of available
buffer space (2nd try)") did happen to fix some observable issues but not
all of them in fact, some corner cases still remained and at least one user
reported a busy loop that appeared possible, though not easily reproducible
under experimental conditions.
The remaining issue is that we still consider min(i, to_fwd) as the number
of bytes in transit, but in fact <i> is not relevant here. Indeed, what
matters is that we can read everything we want at once provided that at
the end, <i> cannot be larger than <size-maxrw> (if it was not already).
This is visible in two cases :
- let's have i=o=max/2 and to_fwd=0. Then i+o >= max indicates that the
buffer is already full, while it is not since once <o> is forwarded,
some space remains.
- when to_fwd is much larger than i, it's obvious that we can fill the
buffer.
The only relevant part in fact is o + to_fwd. to_fwd will ensure that at
least this many bytes will be moved from <i> to <o> hence will leave the
buffer, whatever the number of rounds it takes.
Interestingly, the fix applied here ensures that channel_recv_max() will
now equal (size - maxrw - i + to_fwd), which is indeed what remains
available below maxrw after to_fwd bytes are forwarded from i to o and
leave the buffer.
Additionally, the latest fix made it possible to meet an integer overflow
that was not caught by the range test when forwarding in TCP or tunnel
mode due to to_forward being added to an existing value, causing the
buffer size to be limited when it should not have been, resulting in 2
to 3 recv() calls when a single one was enough. The first one was limited
to the unreserved buffer size, the second one to the size of the reserve
minus 1, and the last one to the last byte. Eg with a 2kB buffer :
recvfrom(22, "HTTP/1.1 200\r\nConnection: close\r"..., 1024, 0, NULL, NULL) = 1024
recvfrom(22, "23456789.123456789.123456789.123"..., 1023, 0, NULL, NULL) = 1023
recvfrom(22, "5", 1, 0, NULL, NULL) = 1
This bug is still present in 1.6 and 1.5 so the fix should be backported
there.
The condition to poll for receive as implemented in channel_may_recv()
is still incorrect. If buf->o is null and buf->i is slightly larger than
chn->to_forward and at least as large as buf->size - maxrewrite, then
reading will be disabled. It may slightly delay some data delivery by
having first to forward pending bytes, but may also cause some random
issues with analysers that wait for some data before starting to forward
what they correctly parsed. For instance, a body analyser may be prevented
from seeing the data that only fits in the reserve.
This bug may also prevent an applet's chk_rcv() function from being called
when part of a buffer is released. It is possible (though not verified)
that this participated to some peers frozen session issues some people
have been facing.
This fix should be backported to 1.6 and 1.5 to ensure better coherency
with channel_recv_limit().
Commit 9c06ee4 ("BUG/MEDIUM: channel: don't schedule data in transit for
leaving until connected") took care of an issue involving POST in conjunction
with http-send-name-header, where we absolutely never want to touch the
reserve until we're sure not to touch the buffer contents anymore, which
is indicated by the output stream-interface being connected.
But channel_may_recv() was not equipped with such a test, so in some
situations it might decide that it is possible to poll for reads, and
later channel_recv_limit() will decide it's not possible to read,
causing a loop. So we must add a similar test there.
Since the fix above was backported to 1.6 and 1.5, this fix must as well.
There's quite some inconsistency in the internal API. listener_accept()
which is the main accept() function returns void but is declared as int
in the include file. It's assigned to proto->accept() for all stream
protocols where an int is expected but the result is never checked (nor
is it documented by the way). This proto->accept() is in turn assigned
to fd->iocb() which is supposed to return an int composed of FD_WAIT_*
flags, but which is never checked either.
So let's fix all this mess :
- nobody checks accept()'s return
- nobody checks iocb()'s return
- nobody sets a return value
=> let's mark all these functions void and keep the current ones intact.
Additionally we now include listener.h from listener.c to ensure we won't
silently hide this incoherency in the future.
Note that this patch could/should be backported to 1.6 and even 1.5 to
simplify debugging sessions.
Commit 999f643 ("BUG/MEDIUM: channel: fix miscalculation of available buffer
space.") introduced a bug which made output data to be ignored when computing
the remaining room in a buffer. The problem is that channel_may_recv()
properly considers them and may declare that the FD may be polled for read
events, but once the even strikes, channel_recv_limit() called before recv()
says the opposite. In 1.6 and later this case is automatically caught by
polling loop detection at the connection level and is harmless. But the
backport in 1.5 ends up with a busy polling loop as soon as it becomes
possible to have a buffer with this conflict. In order to reproduce it, it
is necessary to have less than [maxrewrite] bytes available in a buffer, no
forwarding enabled (end of transfer) and [buf->o >= maxrewrite - free space].
Since this heavily depends on socket buffers, it will randomly strike users.
On 1.5 with 8kB buffers it was possible to reproduce it with httpterm using
the following command line :
$ (printf "GET /?s=675000 HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"; sleep 60) | \
nc6 --rcvbuf-size 1 --send-only 127.0.0.1 8002
This bug is only medium in 1.6 and later but is major in the 1.5 backport,
so it must be backported there.
Thanks to Nenad Merdanovic and Janusz Dziemidowicz for reporting this issue
with enough elements to help understand it.
There are two issues with error captures. The first one is that the
capture size is still hard-coded to BUFSIZE regardless of any possible
tune.bufsize setting and of the fact that frontends only capture request
errors and that backends only capture response errors. The second is that
captures are allocated in both directions for all proxies, which start to
count a lot in configs using thousands of proxies.
This patch changes this so that error captures are allocated only when
needed, and of the proper size. It also refrains from dumping a buffer
that was not allocated, which still allows to emit all relevant info
such as flags and HTTP states. This way it is possible to save up to
32 kB of RAM per proxy in the default configuration.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_be_stats() in two parts. The
part is called stats_fill_be_stats(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_sv_stats() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_sv_stats(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_li_stats() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_li_stats(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_fe_stats() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_fe_stats(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_info_to_buffer() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_info(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch adds a Lua post initialisation wrapper. It already exists for
pure Lua function, now it executes also C. It is useful for doing things
when the configuration is ready to use. For example we can can browse and
register all the proxies.
All the HAProxy Lua object are declared with the same pattern:
- Add the function __tosting which dumps the object name
- Register the name in the Lua REGISTRY
- Register the reference ID
These action are refactored in on function. This remove some
lines of code.
The functions
- hlua_class_const_int()
- hlua_class_const_str()
- hlua_class_function()
are use for common class registration actions.
The function 'hlua_dump_object()' is generic dump name function.
These functions can be used by all the HAProxy objects, so I move
it into the safe functions file.
Avoiding harmful memcpy call if the allocation failed.
Resetting the size which avoids further harmful freeing
invalid pointer. Closer to the comment behavior description.
The strftime() function can call tzset() internally on some platforms.
When haproxy is chrooted, the /etc/localtime file is not found, and some
implementations will clobber the content of the current timezone.
The GMT offset is computed by diffing the times returned by gmtime_r() and
localtime_r(). These variants are guaranteed to not call tzset() and were
already used in haproxy while chrooted, so they should be safe.
This patch must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
GMT offset used in local time formats was computed at startup, but was not updated when DST status changed while running.
For example these two RFC5424 syslog traces where emitted 5 seconds apart, just before and after DST changed:
<14>1 2016-03-27T01:59:58+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 2098 - - Connect ...
<14>1 2016-03-27T03:00:03+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 2098 - - Connect ...
It looked like they were emitted more than 1 hour apart, unlike with the fix:
<14>1 2016-03-27T01:59:58+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 3381 - - Connect ...
<14>1 2016-03-27T03:00:03+02:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 3381 - - Connect ...
This patch should be backported to 1.6 and partially to 1.5 (no fix needed in log.c).
This emits the field positions, names and types. It is more convenient
than the default output for a parser that doesn't know all the fields. It
simply relies on stats_emit_typed_data_field() and stats_emit_field_tags()
added by previous patch for the output. A new stats format flag was added,
STAT_FMT_TYPED, which is set when the "typed" keyword is specified on the
CLI.
New function stats_emit_typed_data_field() does exactly like
stats_emit_raw_data_field() except that it also prints the data
type after a colon. This will be used to print using the typed
format.
And function stats_emit_field_tags() appends a 3-letter code
describing the origin, nature, and scope, followed by an optional
delimiter. This will be particularly convenient to dump typed
data.
It's easier to have a new flag in <flags> to indicate whether or not we
want to display the admin column in HTML dumps. We already have similar
flags to show the version or the legends.
We're preparing for various data types for each stats field as they
appear in the CSV output. For now we only cover the regular types handled
by printf, so we have 32 and 64 bit ints and counters, strings, and of
course "empty" to indicate that there's nothing in the field and which
guarantees that any accessed entry will return 0.
More types will surely come later so that some fields are properly
represented. For example, we could see limits where only the value 0
doesn't show up, or human time, etc.
This is the continuation of previous patch called "BUG/MAJOR: samples:
check smp->strm before using it".
It happens that variables may have a session-wide scope, and that their
session is retrieved by dereferencing the stream. But nothing prevents them
from being used from a streamless context such as tcp-request connection,
thus crashing the process. Example :
tcp-request connection accept if { src,set-var(sess.foo) -m found }
In order to fix this, we have to always ensure that variable manipulation
only happens via the sample, which contains the correct owner and context,
and that we never use one from a different source. This results in quite a
large change since a lot of functions are inderctly involved in the call
chain, but the change is easy to follow.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, and requires the last two patches.
Since commit 6879ad3 ("MEDIUM: sample: fill the struct sample with the
session, proxy and stream pointers") merged in 1.6-dev2, the sample
contains the pointer to the stream and sample fetch functions as well
as converters use it heavily. This requires from a lot of call places
to initialize 4 fields, and it was even forgotten at a few places.
This patch provides a convenient helper to initialize all these fields
at once, making it easy to prepare a new sample from a previous one for
example.
A few call places were cleaned up to make use of it. It will be needed
by further fixes.
At one place in the Lua code, it was moved earlier because we used to
call sample casts with a non completely initialized sample, which is
not clean eventhough at the moment there are no consequences.
Since commit 6879ad3 ("MEDIUM: sample: fill the struct sample with the
session, proxy and stream pointers") merged in 1.6-dev2, the sample
contains the pointer to the stream and sample fetch functions as well
as converters use it heavily.
The problem is that earlier commit 87b0966 ("REORG/MAJOR: session:
rename the "session" entity to "stream"") had split the session and
stream resulting in the possibility for smp->strm to be NULL before
the stream was initialized. This is what happens in tcp-request
connection rulesets, as discovered by Baptiste.
The sample fetch functions must now check that smp->strm is valid
before using it. An alternative could consist in using a dummy stream
with nothing in it to avoid some checks but it would only result in
deferring them to the next step anyway, and making it harder to detect
that a stream is valid or the dummy one.
There is still an issue with variables which requires a complete
independant fix. They use strm->sess to find the session with strm
possibly NULL and passed as an argument. All call places indirectly
use smp->strm to build strm. So the problem is there but the API needs
to be changed to remove this duplicate argument that makes it much
harder to know what pointer to use.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, as well as the next one fixing
variables.
The recent addition of "show env" on the CLI has revealed an interesting
design bug. Chunks are supposed to support a negative length to indicate
that they carry no data. chunk_printf() sets this size to -1 if the string
is too large for the buffer. At a few places in the http engine we may end
up with trash.len = -1. But bi_putchk(), chunk_appendf() and a few other
chunks consumers don't consider this case as possible and will use such a
chunk, possibly restoring an invalid string or trying to copy -1 bytes.
This fix takes care of clarifying the situation in a backportable way
where such sizes are used, so that a negative length indicating an error
remains present until the chunk is reinitialized or overwritten. But a
cleaner design adjustment needs to be done so that there's a clear contract
on how to use these chunks. At first glance it doesn't seem *that* useful
to support negative sizes, so probably this is what should change.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
the function server_parse_addr_change_request() contain an hardcoded
updater source "stats command". this function can be called from other
sources than the "stats command", so this patch make this argument

The commit 87b096 renames the functions srv_shutdown_backup_sessions()

srv_shutdown_streams().
The header file <proto/servers.h> does not repport these changes.
This bug should be repported in the 1.6 branch, even if it is useless

This options prioritize th choice of an ip address matching a network. This is
useful with clouds to prefer a local ip. In some cases, a cloud high
avalailibility service can be announced with many ip addresses on many
differents datacenters. The latency between datacenter is not negligible, so
this patch permitsto prefers a local datacenter. If none address matchs the
configured network, another address is selected.
DNS selection preferences are actually declared inline in the
struct server. There are copied from the server struct to the
dns_resolution struct for each resolution.
Next patchs adds new preferences options, and it is not a good
way to copy all the configuration information before each dns
resolution.
This patch extract the configuration preference from the struct
server and declares a new dedicated struct. Only a pointer to this
new striuict will be copied before each dns resolution.
Concat object is based on "luaL_Buffer". The luaL_Buffer documentation says:
During its normal operation, a string buffer uses a variable number of stack
slots. So, while using a buffer, you cannot assume that you know where the
top of the stack is. You can use the stack between successive calls to buffer
operations as long as that use is balanced; that is, when you call a buffer
operation, the stack is at the same level it was immediately after the
previous buffer operation. (The only exception to this rule is
luaL_addvalue.) After calling luaL_pushresult the stack is back to its level
when the buffer was initialized, plus the final string on its top.
So, the stack cannot be manipulated between the first call at the function
"luaL_buffinit()" and the last call to the function "luaL_pushresult()" because
we cannot known the stack status.
In other way, the memory used by these functions seems to be collected by GC, so
if the GC is triggered during the usage of the Concat object, it can be used
some released memory.
This patch rewrite the Concat class without the "luaL_Buffer" system. It uses
"userdata()" forr the memory allocation of the buffer strings.
This allows the tcp connection to send multiple SYN packets, so 1 lost
packet does not cause the mail to be lost. It changes the socket timeout
from 2 to 10 seconds, this allows for 3 syn packets to be send and
waiting a little for their reply.
This patch should be backported to 1.6.

Using environment variables in configuration files can make troubleshooting
complicated because there's no easy way to verify that the variables are
correct. This patch introduces a new "show env" command which displays the
whole environment on the CLI, one variable per line.
The socket must at least have level operator to display the environment.
The +E mode escapes characters '"', '\' and ']' with '\' as prefix. It
mostly makes sense to use it in the RFC5424 structured-data log formats.
Example:
log-format-sd %{+Q,+E}o\ [exampleSDID@1234\ header=%[capture.req.hdr(0)]]
This patch moves the function hlua_checkudata which check that
an object contains the expected class_reference as metatable.
This function is commonly used by all the lua functions.
The function hlua_metatype is also moved.
This parser takes a string containing an HTTP date. It returns
a broken-down time struct. We must considers considers this
time as GMT. Maybe later the timezone will be taken in account.
When Lua executes functions from its API, these can throws an error.
These function must be executed in a special environment which catch
these error, otherwise a critical error (like segfault) can raise.
This patch add a c file called "hlua_fcn.c" which collect all the
Lua/c function needing safe environment for its execution.
Now, filter's configuration (.id, .conf and .ops fields) is stored in the
structure 'flt_conf'. So proxies own a flt_conf list instead of a filter
list. When a filter is attached to a stream, it gets a pointer on its
configuration. This avoids mixing the filter's context (owns by a stream) and
its configuration (owns by a proxy). It also saves 2 pointers per filter
instance.
Now, http_parse_chunk_size and http_skip_chunk_crlf return the number of bytes
parsed on success. http_skip_chunk_crlf does not use msg->sol anymore.
On the other hand, http_forward_trailers is unchanged. It returns >0 if the end
of trailers is reached and 0 if not. In all cases (except if an error is
encountered), msg->sol contains the length of the last parsed part of the
trailer headers.
Internal doc and comments about msg->sol has been updated accordingly.
Before, functions to filter HTTP body (and TCP data) were called from the moment
at least one filter was attached to the stream. If no filter is interested by
these data, this uselessly slows data parsing.
A good example is the HTTP compression filter. Depending of request and response
headers, the response compression can be enabled or not. So it could be really
nice to call it only when enabled.
So, now, to filter HTTP/TCP data, a filter must use the function
register_data_filter. For TCP streams, this function can be called only
once. But for HTTP streams, when needed, it must be called for each HTTP request
or HTTP response.
Only registered filters will be called during data parsing. At any time, a
filter can be unregistered by calling the function unregister_data_filter.
From the stream point of view, this new structure is opaque. it hides filters
implementation details. So, impact for future optimizations will be reduced
(well, we hope so...).
Some small improvements has been made in filters.c to avoid useless checks.
This new analyzer will be called for each HTTP request/response, before the
parsing of the body. It is identified by AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS.
Special care was taken about the following condition :
* the frontend is a TCP proxy
* filters are defined in the frontend section
* the selected backend is a HTTP proxy
So, this patch explicitly add AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS analyzer on the request and the
response channels when the backend is a HTTP proxy and when there are filters
attatched on the stream.
This patch simplifies http_request_forward_body and http_response_forward_body
functions.
For Chunked HTTP request/response, the body filtering can be really
expensive. In the worse case (many chunks of 1 bytes), the filters overhead is
of 3 calls per chunk. If http_data callback is useful, others are just
informative.
So these callbacks has been removed. Of course, existing filters (trace and
compression) has beeen updated accordingly. For the HTTP compression filter, the
update is quite huge. Its implementation is closer to the old one.
When no filter is attached to the stream, the CPU footprint due to the calls to
filters_* functions is huge, especially for chunk-encoded messages. Using macros
to check if we have some filters or not is a great improvement.
Furthermore, instead of checking the filter list emptiness, we introduce a flag
to know if filters are attached or not to a stream.
HTTP compression has been rewritten to use the filter API. This is more a PoC
than other thing for now. It allocates memory to work. So, if only for that, it
should be rewritten.
In the mean time, the implementation has been refactored to allow its use with
other filters. However, there are limitations that should be respected:
- No filter placed after the compression one is allowed to change input data
(in 'http_data' callback).
- No filter placed before the compression one is allowed to change forwarded
data (in 'http_forward_data' callback).
For now, these limitations are informal, so you should be careful when you use
several filters.
About the configuration, 'compression' keywords are still supported and must be
used to configure the HTTP compression behavior. In absence of a 'filter' line
for the compression filter, it is added in the filter chain when the first
compression' line is parsed. This is an easy way to do when you do not use other
filters. But another filter exists, an error is reported so that the user must
explicitly declare the filter.
For example:
listen tst
...
compression algo gzip
compression offload
...
filter flt_1
filter compression
filter flt_2
...
HTTP compression will be moved in a true filter. To prepare the ground, some
functions have been moved in a dedicated file. Idea is to keep everything about
compression algos in compression.c and everything related to the filtering in
flt_http_comp.c.
For now, a header has been added to help during the transition. It will be
removed later.
Unused empty ACL keyword list was removed. The "compression" keyword
parser was moved from cfgparse.c to flt_http_comp.c.
This patch adds the support of filters in HAProxy. The main idea is to have a
way to "easely" extend HAProxy by adding some "modules", called filters, that
will be able to change HAProxy behavior in a programmatic way.
To do so, many entry points has been added in code to let filters to hook up to
different steps of the processing. A filter must define a flt_ops sutrctures
(see include/types/filters.h for details). This structure contains all available
callbacks that a filter can define:
struct flt_ops {
/*
* Callbacks to manage the filter lifecycle
*/
int (*init) (struct proxy *p);
void (*deinit)(struct proxy *p);
int (*check) (struct proxy *p);
/*
* Stream callbacks
*/
void (*stream_start) (struct stream *s);
void (*stream_accept) (struct stream *s);
void (*session_establish)(struct stream *s);
void (*stream_stop) (struct stream *s);
/*
* HTTP callbacks
*/
int (*http_start) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_data) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_last_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_chunk_trailers)(struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_end) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reset) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_pre_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_post_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reply) (struct stream *s, short status,
const struct chunk *msg);
};
To declare and use a filter, in the configuration, the "filter" keyword must be
used in a listener/frontend section:
frontend test
...
filter <FILTER-NAME> [OPTIONS...]
The filter referenced by the <FILTER-NAME> must declare a configuration parser
on its own name to fill flt_ops and filter_conf field in the proxy's
structure. An exemple will be provided later to make it perfectly clear.
For now, filters cannot be used in backend section. But this is only a matter of
time. Documentation will also be added later. This is the first commit of a long
list about filters.
It is possible to have several filters on the same listener/frontend. These
filters are stored in an array of at most MAX_FILTERS elements (define in
include/types/filters.h). Again, this will be replaced later by a list of
filters.
The filter API has been highly refactored. Main changes are:
* Now, HA supports an infinite number of filters per proxy. To do so, filters
are stored in list.
* Because filters are stored in list, filters state has been moved from the
channel structure to the filter structure. This is cleaner because there is no
more info about filters in channel structure.
* It is possible to defined filters on backends only. For such filters,
stream_start/stream_stop callbacks are not called. Of course, it is possible
to mix frontend and backend filters.
* Now, TCP streams are also filtered. All callbacks without the 'http_' prefix
are called for all kind of streams. In addition, 2 new callbacks were added to
filter data exchanged through a TCP stream:
- tcp_data: it is called when new data are available or when old unprocessed
data are still waiting.
- tcp_forward_data: it is called when some data can be consumed.
* New callbacks attached to channel were added:
- channel_start_analyze: it is called when a filter is ready to process data
exchanged through a channel. 2 new analyzers (a frontend and a backend)
are attached to channels to call this callback. For a frontend filter, it
is called before any other analyzer. For a backend filter, it is called
when a backend is attached to a stream. So some processing cannot be
filtered in that case.
- channel_analyze: it is called before each analyzer attached to a channel,
expects analyzers responsible for data sending.
- channel_end_analyze: it is called when all other analyzers have finished
their processing. A new analyzers is attached to channels to call this
callback. For a TCP stream, this is always the last one called. For a HTTP
one, the callback is called when a request/response ends, so it is called
one time for each request/response.
* 'session_established' callback has been removed. Everything that is done in
this callback can be handled by 'channel_start_analyze' on the response
channel.
* 'http_pre_process' and 'http_post_process' callbacks have been replaced by
'channel_analyze'.
* 'http_start' callback has been replaced by 'http_headers'. This new one is
called just before headers sending and parsing of the body.
* 'http_end' callback has been replaced by 'channel_end_analyze'.
* It is possible to set a forwarder for TCP channels. It was already possible to
do it for HTTP ones.
* Forwarders can partially consumed forwardable data. For this reason a new
HTTP message state was added before HTTP_MSG_DONE : HTTP_MSG_ENDING.
Now all filters can define corresponding callbacks (http_forward_data
and tcp_forward_data). Each filter owns 2 offsets relative to buf->p, next and
forward, to track, respectively, input data already parsed but not forwarded yet
by the filter and parsed data considered as forwarded by the filter. A any time,
we have the warranty that a filter cannot parse or forward more input than
previous ones. And, of course, it cannot forward more input than it has
parsed. 2 macros has been added to retrieve these offets: FLT_NXT and FLT_FWD.
In addition, 2 functions has been added to change the 'next size' and the
'forward size' of a filter. When a filter parses input data, it can alter these
data, so the size of these data can vary. This action has an effet on all
previous filters that must be handled. To do so, the function
'filter_change_next_size' must be called, passing the size variation. In the
same spirit, if a filter alter forwarded data, it must call the function
'filter_change_forward_size'. 'filter_change_next_size' can be called in
'http_data' and 'tcp_data' callbacks and only these ones. And
'filter_change_forward_size' can be called in 'http_forward_data' and
'tcp_forward_data' callbacks and only these ones. The data changes are the
filter responsability, but with some limitation. It must not change already
parsed/forwarded data or data that previous filters have not parsed/forwarded
yet.
Because filters can be used on backends, when we the backend is set for a
stream, we add filters defined for this backend in the filter list of the
stream. But we must only do that when the backend and the frontend of the stream
are not the same. Else same filters are added a second time leading to undefined
behavior.
The HTTP compression code had to be moved.
So it simplifies http_response_forward_body function. To do so, the way the data
are forwarded has changed. Now, a filter (and only one) can forward data. In a
commit to come, this limitation will be removed to let all filters take part to
data forwarding. There are 2 new functions that filters should use to deal with
this feature:
* flt_set_http_data_forwarder: This function sets the filter (using its id)
that will forward data for the specified HTTP message. It is possible if it
was not already set by another filter _AND_ if no data was yet forwarded
(msg->msg_state <= HTTP_MSG_BODY). It returns -1 if an error occurs.
* flt_http_data_forwarder: This function returns the filter id that will
forward data for the specified HTTP message. If there is no forwarder set, it
returns -1.
When an HTTP data forwarder is set for the response, the HTTP compression is
disabled. Of course, this is not definitive.
The serial number for a generated certificate was computed using the requested
servername, without any variable/random part. It is not a problem from the
moment it is not regenerated.
But if the cache is disabled or when the certificate is evicted from the cache,
we may need to regenerate it. It is important to not reuse the same serial
number for the new certificate. Else clients (especially browsers) trigger a
warning because 2 certificates issued by the same CA have the same serial
number.
So now, the serial is a static variable initialized with now_ms (internal date
in milliseconds) and incremented at each new certificate generation.
(Ref MPS-2031)
in function 'si_connect', an existing connection is reused (and considered as
established) only when there are some pending data in the output channel.
This can be problem when filters are used, because a filter can choose to not
forward data immediatly. So when we try to initiate a connection to a server,
the output channel can be empty. In this situation, if the connection already
exists, it is not considered as established and nothing happens. If the stream
interface is in the state SI_ST_ASS, this leads to an infinite loop in
process_stream because it remains in this state.
This patch fixes this problem. Now, in 'si_connect', we always reuse an existing
connection, whether or not there are pending data in the output channel.
Usually it's desirable to merge similarly sized pools, which is the
reason why their size is rounded up to the next multiple of 16. But
for the buffers this is problematic because we add the size of
struct buffer to the user-requested size, and the rounding results
in 8 extra bytes that are usable in the end. So the user gets more
bytes than asked for, and in case of SSL it results in short writes
for the extra bytes that are sent above multiples of 16 kB.
So we add a new flag MEM_F_EXACT to request that the size is not
rounded up when creating the entry. Thus it doesn't disable merging.
The function channel_recv_limit() relies on channel_reserved() which
itself relies on channel_in_transit(). Individually they're OK but
combined they're doing the wrong thing.
The problem is that we refrain from filling buffers while to_forward
is even much larger than the buffer because of a semantic issue along
the call chain. This is particularly visible when offloading SSL on
moderately large files (1 MB), though it is also visible on clear text.
Twice the number of recv() calls are made compared to what is needed,
and the typical performance drops by 15-20% in SSL in 1.6 and later,
and no directly measurable drop in 1.5 except when using strace.
There's no need for all these intermediate functions, so let's get
rid of them and reimplement channel_recv_limit() from scratch in a
safer way.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6 and 1.5 (at least). Note that in
1.5 the function is called buffer_recv_limit() and it may differ a bit.
This function should return a 16-bit type as that is the type for
dns header id.
Also because it is doing an uint16 unpack big-endian operation.
Backport: can be backported to 1.6

Introduction of a new function in the LRU cache source file.
Purpose of this function is to be used to delete a number of entries in
the cache. 'number' is defined by the caller and the key removed are
taken at the tail of the tree
We have csv_enc() but there's no way to append some CSV-encoded data
to an existing chunk, so here we modify the existing function for this
and create an inlined version of csv_enc() which first resets the output
chunk. It will be handy to append data to an existing chunk without
having to use an extra temporary chunk, or to encode multiple strings
into a single chunk with chunk_newstr().
The patch is quite small, in fact most changes are typo fixes in the
comments.
chunk_initstr() prepares a read-only chunk from a string of
fixed length. Thus it must be prepared to accept a read-only
string on the input, otherwise the caller has to force-cast
some const char* and that's not a good idea.
These two new functions will make it easier to manipulate small strings
from within functions, because at many places, multiple short strings
are needed which do not deserve a malloc() nor a free(), and alloca()
is often discouraged. Since we already have trash chunks, it's convenient
to be able to allocate substrings from a chunk and use them later since
our functions already perform all the length checks. chunk_newstr() adds
a trailing zero at the end of a chunk and returns the pointer to the next
character, which can be used as an independant string. chunk_strcat()
does what it says.
Since thus function bears the name of a well-known string function, it
must at least promise compatible semantics. Here it means always adding
the trailing zero so that anyone willing to use chunk->str as a regular
string can do it. Of course the zero is not counted in the chunk's length.
chunk_dup() was affected by two bugs at once related to dst->size :
- first, it didn't check dst->size to know if it could free(dst->str),
so using it on a statically allocated chunk would cause a free(constant)
and crash the process ;
- second, it didn't properly set dst->size, possibly causing smaller
strings not to be properly reported in a chunk that was previously
used for something else.
Fortunately, neither of these situations ever happened since the function
is rarely used.
In the process of doing this, we even allocate one more byte for a
trailing zero if the input chunk was not full, so that the copied
string can safely be reused by standard string functions.
The bug was introduced in 1.3.4 nine years ago with this commit :
0f77253 ("[MINOR] store HTTP error messages into a chunk array")
It's better to backport this fix in case a future fix relies on it.
The function http_reply_and_close has been added in proto_http.c to wrap calls
to stream_int_retnclose. This functions will be modified when the filters will
be added.
If a sample fetch needing http_txn is called from an HTTP Lua applet,
the result will be invalid and may even cause a crash because some HTTP
data can be forwarded and the HTTP txn is no longer valid.
Here the solution is to ensure that a fetch called from Lua never
needs http_txn. This is done thanks to a new flag HLUA_F_MAY_USE_HTTP
which indicates whether or not it is safe to call a fetch which needs
HTTP.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6.
This patch converts a boolean "int" to a bitfiled. The main
reason is to save space in the struct if another flag may will
be require.
Note that this patch is required for next fix and will need to be
backported to 1.6.
When memmax is forced using "-m", the per-process memory limit is enforced
using setrlimit(), but this value is not used to compute the automatic
maxconn limit. In addition, the per-process memory limit didn't consider
the fact that the shared SSL cache only needs to be accounted once.
The doc was also fixed to clearly state that "-m" is global and not per
process. It makes sense because people who use -m want to protect the
system's resources regardless of whatever appears in the configuration.
Since commit fd7edd3 ("MINOR: Move http method enum from proto_http to sample")
proto_http.h needs to include sample.h. This can be backported to 1.6 though
it doesn't affect existing code.
On freebsd, the macro LIST_PREV already exists in the header file
<sys/queue.h>, and this makes a build error.
This patch removes the macros before declaring it. This ensure
that the error doesn't occurs.
It is possible to create a http capture rule which points to a capture slot
id which does not exist.
Current patch prevent this when parsing configuration and prevent running
configuration which contains such rules.
This configuration is now invalid:
frontend f
bind :8080
http-request capture req.hdr(User-Agent) id 0
default_backend b
this one as well:
frontend f
bind :8080
declare capture request len 32 # implicit id is 0 here
http-request capture req.hdr(User-Agent) id 1
default_backend b
It applies of course to both http-request and http-response rules.
Causes HAProxy to emit a static string to the agent on every check,
so that you can independently control multiple services running
behind a single agent port.
The direction (request or response) is not propagated in the
sample fecthes called throught Lua. This patch adds the direction
status in some structs (hlua_txn and hlua_smp) to make sure that
the sample fetches will be called with all the information.
The converters can not access to a TXN object, so there are not
impacted the direction. However, the samples used as input of the
Lua converter wrapper are initiliazed with the direction. Thereby,
the struct smp stay consistent.
[wt: needs to be backported to 1.6]
When DEBUG_MEMORY_POOLS is used, we now use the link pointer at the end
of the pool to store a pointer to the pool, and to control it during
pool_free2() in order to serve four purposes :
- at any instant we can know what pool an object was allocated from
when examining memory, hence how we should possibly decode it ;
- it serves to detect double free when they happen, as the pointer
cannot be valid after the element is linked into the pool ;
- it serves to detect if an element is released in the wrong pool ;
- it serves as a canary, to detect if some buffers experienced an
overflow before being release.
All these elements will definitely help better troubleshoot strange
situations, or at least confirm that certain conditions did not happen.
When debugging a core file, it's sometimes convenient to be able to
visit the released entries in the pools (typically last released
session). Unfortunately the first bytes of these entries are destroyed
by the link elements of the pool. And of course, most structures have
their most accessed elements at the beginning of the structure (typically
flags). Let's add a build-time option DEBUG_MEMORY_POOLS which allocates
an extra pointer in each pool to put the link at the end of each pool
item instead of the beginning.
Sometimes analysing a core file isn't easy due to shared memory pools.
Let's add a build option to disable this. It's not enabled by default,
it could be backported to older versions.
Basically, it's ill-defined and shouldn't really be used going forward.

HAProxy can't handle that response correctly.
Rather than try to build in support for resolving CNAMEs presented
without an A record in an answer section (which may be a valid
improvement further on), this change just skips ANY record types
altogether. A and AAAA are much more well-defined and predictable.
Notably, this commit preserves the implicit "Prefer IPV6 behavior."
Furthermore, ANY query type by default is a bad idea: (from Robin on
HAProxy's ML):
Using ANY queries for this kind of stuff is considered by most people
to be a bad practice since besides all the things you named it can
lead to incomplete responses. Basically a resolver is allowed to just
return whatever it has in cache when it receives an ANY query instead
of actually doing an ANY query at the authoritative nameserver. Thus
if it only received queries for an A record before you do an ANY query
you will not get an AAAA record even if it is actually available since
the resolver doesn't have it in its cache. Even worse if before it
only got MX queries, you won't get either A or AAAA
This is equivalent to commit 2af207a ("MEDIUM: tcp: implement tcp-ut
bind option to set TCP_USER_TIMEOUT") except that this time it works
on the server side. The purpose is to detect dead server connections
even when checks are rare, disabled, or after a soft reload (since
checks are disabled there as well), and to ensure client connections
will get killed faster.
I would like to contribute the following fix to enable the Linux s390x
platform. The fix was built against today's git master. I've attached the
patch for review. Depending on your buildbot/jenkins/? requirements I can
set up a virtual machine for automated building/testing of the package in
this environment.
This is done by adding EVP_PKEY_EC type in supported types for the CA private
key when we get the message digest used to sign a generated X509 certificate.
So now, we support DSA, RSA and EC private keys.
And to be sure, when the type of the private key is not directly supported, we
get its default message digest using the function
'EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid'.
We also use the key of the default certificate instead of generated it. So we
are sure to use the same key type instead of always using a RSA key.
First, the LRU cache must be initialized after the configuration parsing to
correctly set its size.
Next, the function 'ssl_sock_set_generated_cert' returns -1 when an error occurs
(0 if success). In that case, the caller is responsible to free the memory
allocated for the certificate.
Finally, when a SSL certificate is generated by HAProxy but cannot be inserted
in the cache, it must be freed when the SSL connection is closed. This happens
when 'tune.ssl.ssl-ctx-cache-size' is set to 0.
htonll and ntohll were defined in 5b4dd683cb but on osx they are already
defined in sys/_endian.h. So, we check if they are defined before
declaring them.
[wt: no backport needed]
When debugging an issue, sometimes it can be useful to be able to use
byte 0 to poison memory areas, resulting in the same effect as a calloc().
This patch changes the default mem_poison_byte to -1 to disable it so that
all positive values are usable.
Michael Ezzell reported a bug causing haproxy to segfault during startup
when trying to send syslog message from Lua. The function __send_log() can
be called with *p that is NULL and/or when the configuration is not fully
parsed, as is the case with Lua.
This patch fixes this problem by using individual vectors instead of the
pre-generated strings log_htp and log_htp_rfc5424.
Also, this patch fixes a problem causing haproxy to write the wrong pid in
the logs -- the log_htp(_rfc5424) strings were generated at the haproxy
start, but "pid" value would be changed after haproxy is started in
daemon/systemd mode.
This patch adds a new RFC5424-specific log-format for the structured-data
that is automatically send by __send_log() when the sender is in RFC5424
mode.
A new statement "log-format-sd" should be used in order to set log-format
for the structured-data part in RFC5424 formatted syslog messages.
Example:
log-format-sd [exampleSDID@1234\ bytes=\"%B\"\ status=\"%ST\"]
The function __send_log() iterates over senders and passes the header as
the first vector to sendmsg(), thus it can send a logger-specific header
in each message.
A new logger arguments "format rfc5424" should be used in order to enable
RFC5424 header format. For example:
log 10.2.3.4:1234 len 2048 format rfc5424 local2 info
At the moment we have to call snprintf() for every log line just to
rebuild a constant. Thanks to sendmsg(), we send the message in 3 parts:
time-based header, proxy-specific hostname+log-tag+pid, session-specific
message.
A new function introduced meant to be called during general deinit phase.
During the configuration parsing, the section entries are all allocated.
This new function free them.
The tune.maxrewrite parameter used to be pre-initialized to half of
the buffer size since the very early days when buffers were very small.
It has grown to absurdly large values over the years to reach 8kB for a
16kB buffer. This prevents large requests from being accepted, which is
the opposite of the initial goal.
Many users fix it to 1024 which is already quite large for header
addition.
So let's change the default setting policy :
- pre-initialize it to 1024
- let the user tweak it
- in any case, limit it to tune.bufsize / 2
This results in 15kB usable to buffer HTTP messages instead of 8kB, and
doesn't affect existing configurations which already force it.
This new target can be called from the frontend or the backend. It
is evaluated just before the backend choice and just before the server
choice. So, the input stream or HTTP request can be forwarded to a
server or to an internal service.
This patch only declares the execution timeout variable. The applet
must be respect or ignore it. For example an applet who doing some
network accesses and doesn't control its execution yime should use
this timeout.
this patch adds init function for the applet. the HAProxy standard
applet (peers, stats, lua) have no standard way for the applet
initialisation. This new function pointer have for goal to try to
standardize the applet initialization.
This flag is used by custom actions to know that they're called for the
first time. The only case where it's not set is when they're resuming
from a yield. It will be needed to let them know when they have to
allocate some resources.
The garbage collector is a little bit heavy to run, and it was added
only for cosockets. This patch prevent useless executions when no
cosockets are used.
This new flag indicates to a custom action that it must not yield because
it will not be called anymore. This addresses an issue introduced by commit
bc4c1ac ("MEDIUM: http/tcp: permit to resume http and tcp custom actions"),
which made it possible to yield even after the last call and causes Lua
actions not to be stopped when the session closes. Note that the Lua issue
is not fixed yet at this point. Also only TCP rules were handled, for now
HTTP rules continue to let the action yield since we don't know whether or
not it is a final call.
Since commit bc4c1ac ("MEDIUM: http/tcp: permit to resume http and tcp
custom actions"), some actions may yield and be called back when new
information are available. Unfortunately some of them may continue to
yield because they simply don't know that it's the last call from the
rule set. For this reason we'll need to pass a flag to the custom
action to pass such information and possibly other at the same time.
While the SI_ST_DIS state is set *after* doing the close on a connection,
it was set *before* calling release on an applet. Applets have no internal
flags contrary to connections, so they have no way to detect they were
already released. Because of this it happened that applets were closed
twice, once via si_applet_release() and once via si_release_endpoint() at
the end of a transaction. The CLI applet could perform a double free in
this case, though the situation to cause it is quite hard because it
requires that the applet is stuck on output in states that produce very
few data.
In order to solve this, we now assign the SI_ST_DIS state *after* calling
->release, and we refrain from doing so if the state is already assigned.
This makes applets work much more like connections and definitely avoids
this double release.
In the future it might be worth making applets have their own flags like
connections to carry their own state regardless of the stream interface's
state, especially when dealing with connection reuse.
No backport is needed since this issue was caused by the rearchitecture
in 1.6.
This function is a callback made only for calls from the applet handler.
Rename it to remove confusion. It's currently called from the Lua code
but that's not correct, we should call the notify and update functions
instead otherwise it will not enable the applet again.
This one is not needed anymore as what it used to do is either
completely covered by the new stream_int_notify() function, or undesired
and inherited from the past as a side effect of introducing the
connections.
This update is theorically never called since it's assigned only when
nothing is connected to the stream interface. However a test has been
added to si_update() to stay safe if some foreign code decides to call
si_update() in unsafe situations.
stream_int_notify() was taken from the common part between si_conn_wake_cb()
and si_applet_done(). It is designed to report activity to a stream from
outside its handler. It'll generally be used by lower layers to report I/O
completion but may also be used by remote streams if the buffer processing
is shared.
Now the call to stream_int_update() is moved to si_update(), which
is exclusively called from the stream, so that the socket layer may
be updated without updating the stream layer. This will later permit
to call it individually from other places (other tasks or applets for
example).
This function is designed to be called from within the stream handler to
update the channels' expiration timers and the stream interface's flags
based on the channels' flags. It needs to be called only once after the
channels' flags have settled down, and before they are cleared, though it
doesn't harm to call it as often as desired (it just slightly hurts
performance). It must not be called from outside of the stream handler,
as what it does will be used to compute the stream task's expiration.
The code was taken directly from stream_int_update_applet() and
stream_int_update_conn() which had exactly the same one except for
applet-specific or connection-specific status update.
This is not a real run queue and we're facing ugly bugs because
if this : if a an applet removes another applet from the queue,
typically the next one after itself, the list iterator loops
forever because the list's backup pointer is not valid anymore.
Before creating a run queue, let's rename this list.
This private configuration pointer is used for storing some configuration
data associated the keyword, So many keywords can use the same parse
function, and this one can use a discriminator.
Mailing list participant "mlist" reported negative conn_cur values in
stick tables as the result of "tcp-request connection track-sc". The
reason is that after the stick entry it copied from the session to the
stream, both the session and the stream grab a reference to the entry
and when the stream ends, it decrements one reference and one connection,
then the same is done for the session.
In fact this problem was already encountered slightly differently in the
past and addressed by Thierry using the patch below as it was believed by
then to be only a refcount issue since it was the observable symptom :
827752e "BUG/MEDIUM: stick-tables: refcount error after copying SC..."
In reality the problem is that the stream must touch neither the refcount
nor the connection count for entries it inherits from the session. While
we have no way to tell whether a track entry was inherited from the session
(since they're simply memcpy'd), it is possible to prevent the stream from
touching an entry that already exists in the session because that's a
guarantee that it was inherited from it.
Note that it may be a temporary fix. Maybe in the future when a session
gives birth to multiple streams we'll face a situation where a session may
be updated to add more tracked entries after instanciating some streams.
The correct long-term fix is to mark some tracked entries as shared or
private (or RO/RW). That will allow the session to track more entries
even after the same trackers are being used by early streams.
No backport is needed, this is only caused by the session/stream split in 1.6.
Added support for version 3.2 of 51Degrees C library.
Added fields to store HTTP header names important to device detection
other than User-Agent.
Included a pool of worksets for use with Pattern device detection.
Added the definition of CHECK_HTTP_MESSAGE_FIRST and the declaration of
smp_prefetch_http to the header.
Changed smp_prefetch_http implementation to remove the static qualifier.
This directive gives HAProxy the ability to use the either the global
server-state-file directive or a local one using server-state-file-name to
load server states.
The state can be saved right before the reload by the init script, using
the "show servers state" command on the stats socket redirecting output into
a file.
This new global section directive is used to store the path to the file
where HAProxy will be able to retrieve server states across reloads.
The file pointed by this path is used to store a file which can contains
state of all servers from all backends.
This new global directive can be used to provide a base directory where
all the server state files could be loaded.
If a server state file name starts with a slash '/', then this directive
must not be applied.
new command 'show servers state' which dumps all variable parameters
of a server during an HAProxy process life.
Purpose is to dump current server state at current run time in order to
read them right after the reload.
The format of the output is versionned and we support version 1 for now.
Introduces a few new macros used by server state save and application accros reloads:
- currently used state server file format version
- currently used state server file header fields
- MIN and MAX value for version number
- maximum number of fields that could be found in a server-state file
- an arbitrary state-file max line length
When a server is disabled in the configuration using the "disabled"
keyword, a single flag is positionned: SRV_ADMF_CMAINT (use to be
SRV_ADMF_FMAINT)..
That said, when providing the first version of this code, we also
changed the SRV_ADMF_MAINT mask to match any of the possible MAINT
cases: SRV_ADMF_FMAINT, SRV_ADMF_IMAINT, SRV_ADMF_CMAINT
Since SRV_ADMF_CMAINT is never (and is not supposed to be) altered at
run time, once a server has this flag set up, it can never ever be
enabled again using the stats socket.
In order to fix this, we should:
- consider SRV_ADMF_CMAINT as a simple flag to report the state in the
old configuration file (will be used after a reload to deduce the
state of the server in a new running process)
- enabling both SRV_ADMF_CMAINT and SRV_ADMF_FMAINT when the keyword
"disabled" is in use in the configuration
- update the mask SRV_ADMF_MAINT as it was before, to only match
SRV_ADMF_FMAINT and SRV_ADMF_IMAINT.
The following patch perform the changes above.
It allows fixing the regression without breaking the way the up coming
feature (seamless server state accross reloads) is going to work.
Note: this is 1.6-only, no backport needed.
Regex header file is missing in types/action.h
Repported by Conrad Hoffmann
I cannot build the current dev's master HEAD (ec3c37d) because of this error:
> In file included from include/proto/proto_http.h:26:0,
> from src/stick_table.c:26:
> include/types/action.h:102:20: error: field ‘re’ has incomplete type

> Makefile:771: recipe for target 'src/stick_table.o' failed
> make: *** [src/stick_table.o] Error 1
The struct act_rule defined in action.h includes a full struct my_regex
without #include-ing regex.h. Both gcc 5.2.0 and clang 3.6.2 do not allow this.
Some DNS response may be valid from a protocol point of view but may not
contain any IP addresses.
This patch gives a new flag to the function dns_get_ip_from_response to
report such case.
It's up to the upper layer to decide what to do with this information.
Some DNS responses may be valid from a protocol point of view, but may
not contain any information considered as interested by the requester..
Purpose of the flag DNS_RESP_NO_EXPECTED_RECORD introduced by this patch is
to allow reporting such situation.
When this happens, a new DNS query is sent with a new query type.
For now, the function only expect A and AAAA query types which is enough
to cover current cases.
In a next future, it will be up to the caller to tell the function which
query types are expected.
The function does a bunch of things among which resolving environment
variables, skipping address family specifiers and trimming port ranges.
It is the only one which sees the complete host name before trying to
resolve it. The DNS resolving code needs to know the original hostname,
so we modify this function to optionally provide it to the caller.
Note that the function itself doesn't know if the host part was a host
or an address, but str2ip() knows that and can be asked not to try to
resolve. So we first try to parse the address without resolving and
try again with resolving enabled. This way we know if the address is
explicit or needs some kind of resolution.
This patch introduces a new internal response state about the analysis
of a DNS response received by a server.
It is dedicated to report to above layer that the response is
'truncated'.
This patch updates the dns_nameserver structure to integrate a counter
dedicated to 'truncated' response sent by servers.
Such response are important to track, since HAProxy is supposed to
replay its request.
Current DNS client code implementation doesn't take care of response
flags setup by the server.
This patch introduces a couple of bitmasks one can use to retrieve the
truncated flag and the reply code available in the 2-bytes flag field.
3 variables of the dns_resolution structure are set to 'time_t' type.
Since they are all set by 'now_ms' and used as 'ticks' in HAProxy's
internal, it is safer to set them to the same type than now_ms:
'unsigned int'.
When converting the "method" fetch to a string, we used to get an empty
string if the first character was not an upper case. This was caused by
the lookup function which returns HTTP_METH_NONE when a lookup is not
possible, and this method being mapped to an empty string in the array.
This is a totally stupid mechanism, there's no reason for having the
result depend on the first char. In fact the message parser already
checks that the syntax matches an HTTP token so we can only land there
with a valid token, hence only HTTP_METH_OTHER should be returned.
This fix should be backported to all actively supported branches.
Before this patch, two type of custom actions exists: ACT_ACTION_CONT and
ACT_ACTION_STOP. ACT_ACTION_CONT is a non terminal action and ACT_ACTION_STOP is
a terminal action.
Note that ACT_ACTION_STOP is not used in HAProxy.
This patch remove this behavior. Only type type of custom action exists, and it
is called ACT_CUSTOM. Now, the custion action can return a code indicating the
required behavior. ACT_RET_CONT wants that HAProxy continue the current rule
list evaluation, and ACT_RET_STOP wants that HAPRoxy stops the the current rule
list evaluation.
This patch is inspired by Bowen Ni's proposal and it is based on his first
implementation:
With Lua integration in HAProxy 1.6, one can change the request method,
path, uri, header, response header etc except response line.
I'd like to contribute the following methods to allow modification of the
response line.
[...]
There are two new keywords in 'http-response' that allows you to rewrite
them in the native HAProxy config. There are also two new APIs in Lua that
allows you to do the same rewriting in your Lua script.
Example:
Use it in HAProxy config:
*http-response set-code 404*
Or use it in Lua script:
*txn.http:res_set_reason("Redirect")*
I dont take the full patch because the manipulation of the "reason" is useless.
standard reason are associated with each returned code, and unknown code can
take generic reason.
So, this patch can set the status code, and the reason is automatically adapted.
This was the first transparent proxy technology supported by haproxy
circa 2005 but it was obsoleted in 2007 by Tproxy 4.0 which removed a
lot of the earlier versions' shortcomings and was finally merged into
the kernel. Since nobody has been using cttproxy for many years now
and nobody has even just tried to compile the files, it's time to
remove it. The doc was updated as well.
This patch removes the special stick tables types names and
use the standard sample type names. This avoid the maintainance
of two types and remove the switch/case for matching a sample
type for each stick table type.
This patch is the first step for sample integration. Actually
the stick tables uses her own data type, and some converters
must be called to convert sample type to stick-tables types.
This patch removes the stick-table types and replace it by
the sample types. This prevent:
- Maintenance of two types of converters
- reduce the code using the samples converters
This patch normalize the return code of the configuration parsers. Before
these changes, the tcp action parser returned -1 if fail and 0 for the
succes. The http action returned 0 if fail and 1 if succes.
The normalisation does:
- ACT_RET_PRS_OK for succes
- ACT_RET_PRS_ERR for failure
Each (http|tcp)-(request|response) action use the same method
for looking up the action keyword during the cofiguration parsing.
This patch mutualize the code.
This patch merges the conguration keyword struct. Each declared configuration
keyword struct are similar with the others. This patch simplify the code.
Action function can return 3 status:
- error if the action encounter fatal error (like out of memory)
- yield if the action must terminate his work later
- continue in other cases
For performances considerations, some actions are not processed by remote
function. They are directly processed by the function. Some of these actions
does the same things but for different processing part (request / response).
This patch give the same name for the same actions, and change the normalization
of the other actions names.
This patch is ONLY a rename, it doesn't modify the code.
This patch group the action name in one file. Some action are called
many times and need an action embedded in the action caller. The main
goal is to have only one header file grouping all definitions.
This mark permit to detect if the action tag is over the allowed range.
- Normally, this case doesn't appear
- If it appears, it is processed by ded fault case of the switch
This patch removes the generic opaque type for storing the configuration of the
acion "set-src" (HTTP_REQ_ACT_SET_SRC), and use the dedicated type "struct expr"
The (http|tcp)-(request|response) action rules use common
opaque type. For the HAProxy embbedded feature, types are know,
it better to add this types in the action union and use it.
The (http|tcp)-(request|response) action rules use common
opaque type. For the HAProxy embbedded feature, types are know,
it better to add this types in the action union and use it.
This patch is the first of a serie which merge all the action structs. The
function "tcp-request content", "tcp-response-content", "http-request" and
"http-response" have the same values and the same process for some defined
actions, but the struct and the prototype of the declared function are
different.
This patch try to unify all of these entries.
A map can store and return various types as output. The only one example is the
IPv4 and IPv6 types. The previous patch remove the type from the sample storage
struct and use the conoverter output type, expecting that all entries of the
map have the same type.
This will be wrong when the maps will support both IPv4 and IPv6 as output.
The union name "data" is a little bit heavy while we read the source
code because we can read "data.data.sint". The rename from "data" to "u"
makes the read easiest like "data.u.sint".
This extract is not really required, but it maybe will be usefull later.
A comming soonpatch about simplification of stick table values will
use this union
This patch remove the struct information stored both in the struct
sample_data and in the striuct sample. Now, only thestruct sample_data
contains data, and the struct sample use the struct sample_data for storing
his own data.
This is useful to prevent cross includes. The header file sample.h
needs to include proto_http, stick_tables.h will need to include
sample.h and proto_http includes stick_tables.h.
I choose to move the known http method define because this enum is
mainly used in sample.h. This enum is used for the sample type method.
appsessions started to be deprecated with the introduction of stick
tables, and the latter are much more powerful and flexible, and in
addition they are replicated between nodes and maintained across
reloads. Let's now remove appsession completely.
Since sample fetches are not always available in the response phase,
this patch implements %HQ such that:
GET /foo?bar=baz HTTP/1.0
...would be logged as:
?bar=baz
These ones are considered safe as they have already been reused.
They will be useful in "aggressive" and "always" http-reuse modes
in order to place the first request of a connection with the least
risk.
For now it only supports "never", meaning that we never want to reuse a
shared connection, and "always", meaning that we can use any connection
that was not marked private. When "never" is set, this also implies that
no idle connection may become a shared one.
This flag is set on an outgoing connection when this connection gets
some properties that must not be shared with other connections, such
as dynamic transparent source binding, SNI or a proxy protocol header,
or an authentication challenge from the server. This will be needed
later to implement connection reuse.
This function is now dedicated to idle connections only, which means
that it must not be used without any endpoint nor anything not a
connection. The connection remains attached to the stream interface.
This list member will be used to attach a connection to a list of
idle, reusable or queued connections. It's unused for now. Given
that it's not expected to be used more than a few times per session,
the member was put after the target, in the area starting at the
second cache line of the structure.
For now it's not populated but we have the list entry. It will carry
all idle connections that sessions don't want to share. They may be
used later to reclaim connections upon socket shortage for example.
This function only detaches the endpoint from the stream-int and
optionally returns the original pointer. This will be needed to
steal idle connections from other connections.
Since we now always call this function with the reuse parameter cleared,
let's simplify the function's logic as it cannot return the existing
connection anymore. The savings on this inline function are appreciable
(240 bytes) :
$ size haproxy.old haproxy.new
text data bss dec hex filename
1020383 40816 36928 1098127 10c18f haproxy.old
1020143 40816 36928 1097887 10c09f haproxy.new
This patch removes the 32 bits unsigned integer and the 32 bit signed
integer. It replaces these types by a unique type 64 bit signed.
This makes easy the usage of integer and clarify signed and unsigned use.
With the previous version, signed and unsigned are used ones in place of
others, and sometimes the converter loose the sign. For example, divisions
are processed with "unsigned", if one entry is negative, the result is
wrong.
Note that the integer pattern matching and dotted version pattern matching
are already working with signed 64 bits integer values.
There is one user-visible change : the "uint()" and "sint()" sample fetch
functions which used to return a constant integer have been replaced with
a new more natural, unified "int()" function. These functions were only
introduced in the latest 1.6-dev2 so there's no impact on regular
deployments.
These are the 64-bit equivalent of htonl() and ntohl(). They're a bit
tricky in order to avoid expensive operations.
The principle consists in letting the compiler detect we're playing
with a union and simplify most or all operations. The asm-optimized
htonl() version involving bswap (x86) / rev (arm) / other is a single
operation on little endian, or a NOP on big-endian. In both cases,
this lets the compiler "see" that we're rebuilding a 64-bit word from
two 32-bit quantities that fit into a 32-bit register. In big endian,
the whole code is optimized out. In little endian, with a decent compiler,
a few bswap and 2 shifts are left, which is the minimum acceptable.
This patch adds 3 functions for 64 bit integer conversion.
* lltoa_r : converts signed 64 bit integer to string
* read_uint64 : converts from string to signed 64 bits integer with capping
* read_int64 : converts from string to unsigned 64 bits integer with capping
This patch introduces three new functions which can be used to find a
server in a farm using different server information:
- server unique id (srv->puid)
- server name
- find best match using either name or unique id
When performing best matching, the following applies:
- use the server name first (if provided)
- use the server id if provided
in any case, the function can update the caller about mismatches
encountered.
This flag aims at reporting whether the server unique id (srv->puid) has
been forced by the administrator in HAProxy's configuration.
If not set, it means HAProxy has generated automatically the server's
unique id.
function proxy_find_best_match can update the caller by updating an int
provided in argument.
For now, proxy_find_best_match hardcode bit values 0x01, 0x02 and 0x04,
which is not understandable when reading a code exploiting them.
This patch defines 3 macros with a more explicit wording, so further
reading of a code exploiting the magic bit values will be understandable
more easily.
Change si_alloc_conn() to call si_release_endpoint() instead of
open-coding the connection releasing code when reuse is disabled.
This fuses the code with the one already dealing with applets, makes
it shorter and helps centralizing the connection freeing logic at a
single place.
The commit "MEDIUM: vars: move the session variables to the session, not the stream" (ebcd4844e82a4198ea5d98fe491a46267da1d1ec")
moves the variables from the stream to the session. It forgot to remove
the stream definition of the "vars_sess".
The new "sni" server directive takes a sample fetch expression and
uses its return value as a hostname sent as the TLS SNI extension.
A typical use case consists in forwarding the front connection's SNI
value to the server in a bridged HTTPS forwarder :
sni ssl_fc_sni
ssl_sock_set_servername() is used to set the SNI hostname on an
outgoing connection. This function comes from code originally
provided by Christopher Faulet of Qualys.
This option enables overriding source IP address in a HTTP request. It is
useful when we want to set custom source IP (e.g. front proxy rewrites address,
but provides the correct one in headers) or we wan't to mask source IP address
for privacy or compliance.
It acts on any expression which produces correct IP address.
This modification makes possible to use sample_fetch_string() in more places,
where we might need to fetch sample values which are not plain strings. This
way we don't need to fetch string, and convert it into another type afterwards.
When using aliased types, the caller should explicitly check which exact type
was returned (e.g. SMP_T_IPV4 or SMP_T_IPV6 for SMP_T_ADDR).
All usages of sample_fetch_string() are converted to use new function.
This is in order to avoid conflicting with NetBSD popcount* functions
since 6.x release, the final l to mentions the argument is a long like
NetBSD does.
This patch could be backported to 1.5 to fix the build issue there as well.
This cache is used by 51d converter. The input User-Agent string, the
converter args and a random seed are used as a hashing key. The cached
entries contains a pointer to the resulting string for specific
User-Agent string detection.
The cache size can be tuned using 51degrees-cache-size parameter.
Moved 51Degrees code from src/haproxy.c, src/sample.c and src/cfgparse.c
into a separate files src/51d.c and include/import/51d.h.
Added two new functions init_51degrees() and deinit_51degrees(), updated
Makefile and other code reorganizations related to 51Degrees.
When Lua is disabled, the alternate functions must have the same

This patch adds two functions used for variable acces using the
variable full name. If the variable doesn't exists in the variable
pool name, it is created.
This patch adds support of variables during the processing of each stream. The
variables scope can be set as 'session', 'transaction', 'request' or 'response'.
The variable type is the type returned by the assignment expression. The type
can change while the processing.
The allocated memory can be controlled for each scope and each request, and for
the global process.
fix include dependency. The header file sample.h don't need to known
the content of the struct arg, so I remove the include, and replace
it by a simple pointer declaration.
This prevent an include dependecy issue with the next patch.
This patch permits to register a new keyword with the keyword "tcp-request content"
'tcp-request connection", tcp-response content", http-request" and "http-response"
which is identified only by matching the start of the keyword.
for example, we register the keyword "set-var" with the option "match_pfx"
and the configuration keyword "set-var(var_name)" matchs this entry.
This type is used to accept any type of sample as input, and prevent
any automatic "cast". It runs like the type "ADDR" which accept the
type "IPV4" and "IPV6".
Implementation of a DNS client in HAProxy to perform name resolution to
IP addresses.
It relies on the freshly created UDP client to perform the DNS
resolution. For now, all UDP socket calls are performed in the
DNS layer, but this might change later when the protocols are
extended to be more suited to datagram mode.
A new section called 'resolvers' is introduced thanks to this patch. It
is used to describe DNS servers IP address and also many parameters.
Basic introduction of a UDP layer in HAProxy. It can be used as a
client only and manages UDP exchanges with servers.
It can't be used to load-balance UDP protocols, but only used by
internal features such as DNS resolution.
Ability to change a server IP address during HAProxy run time.
For now this is provided via function update_server_addr() which
currently is not called.
A log is emitted on each change. For now we do it inconditionally,
but later we'll want to do it only on certain circumstances, which
explains why the logging block is enclosed in if(1).
Since commit 65d805fd witch removes standard.h from compat.h some
values were not properly set on FreeBSD. This caused a segfault
at startup when smp_resolve_args is called.
As FreeBSD have IP_BINDANY, CONFIG_HAP_TRANSPARENT is define. This
cause struct conn_src to be extended with some fields. The size of
this structure was incorrect. Including netinet/in.h fix this issue.
While diving in code preprocessing, I found that limits.h was require
to properly set MAX_HOSTNAME_LEN, ULONG_MAX, USHRT_MAX and others
system limits on FreeBSD.
Following functions are now available in the SSL public API:
* ssl_sock_create_cert
* ssl_sock_get_generated_cert
* ssl_sock_set_generated_cert
* ssl_sock_generated_cert_serial
These functions could be used to create a certificate by hand, set it in the
cache used to store generated certificates and retrieve it. Here is an example
(pseudo code):
X509 *cacert = ...;
EVP_PKEY *capkey = ...;
char *servername = ...;
unsigned int serial;
serial = ssl_sock_generated_cert_serial(servername, strlen(servername));
if (!ssl_sock_get_generated_cert(serial, cacert)) {
SSL_CTX *ctx = ssl_sock_create_cert(servername, serial, cacert, capkey);
ssl_sock_set_generated_cert(ctx, serial, cacert);
}
With this patch, it is possible to configure HAProxy to forge the SSL
certificate sent to a client using the SNI servername. We do it in the SNI
callback.
To enable this feature, you must pass following BIND options:
* ca-sign-file <FILE> : This is the PEM file containing the CA certitifacte and
the CA private key to create and sign server's certificates.
* (optionally) ca-sign-pass <PASS>: This is the CA private key passphrase, if
any.
* generate-certificates: Enable the dynamic generation of certificates for a
listener.
Because generating certificates is expensive, there is a LRU cache to store
them. Its size can be customized by setting the global parameter
'tune.ssl.ssl-ctx-cache-size'.
It lookup a key in a LRU cache for use with specified domain and revision. It
differs from lru64_get as it does not create missing keys. The function returns
NULL if an error or a cache miss occurs.
Now, When a item is committed in an LRU tree, you can define a function to free
data owned by this item. This function will be called when the item is removed
from the LRU tree or when the tree is destroyed..
This diff is the raw C struct definition of all DeviceAtlas module
data needed added to the main global struct haproxy configuration.
The three first members are needed for both init and deinit phases
as some dynamic memory allocations are done.
The useragentid serves to hold during the whole lifecycle of the
module the User-Agent HTTP Header identifier from the DeviceAtlas
data during the init process.
This diff is for the DeviceAtlas convertor.
This patch adds the following converters :
deviceatlas-json-file
deviceatlas-log-level
deviceatlas-property-separator
First, the configuration keywords handling (only the log
level configuration part does not end the haproxy process
if it is wrongly set, it fallbacks to the default level).
Furthermore, init, deinit phases and the API lookup phase,
the da_haproxy function which is fed by the input provided
and set all necessary properties chosen via the configuration
to the output, separated by the separator.
This patch adds the ssl-dh-param-file global setting. It sets the
default DH parameters that will be used during the SSL/TLS handshake when
ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) key exchange is used, for all "bind" lines
which do not explicitely define theirs.
Actually, the tcp-request and tcp-response custom ation are always final
actions. This patch create a new type of action that can permit to
continue the evaluation of tcp-request and tcp-response processing.
This patch does'nt add any new feature: the functional behavior
is the same than version 1.0.
Technical differences:
In this version all updates on different stick tables are
multiplexed on the same tcp session. There is only one established
tcp session per peer whereas in first version there was one established
tcp session per peer and per stick table.
Messages format was reviewed to be more evolutive and to support
further types of data exchange such as SSL sessions or other sticktable's
data types (currently only the sticktable's server id is supported).
This function checks a string for using it in a CSV output format. If
the string contains one of the following four char <">, <,>, CR or LF,
the string is encapsulated between <"> and the <"> are escaped by a <"">
sequence.
The rounding by <"> is optionnal. It can be canceled, forced or the
function choose automatically the right way.
Sometimes it's problematic not to have "http-response redirect" rules,
for example to perform a browser-based redirect based on certain server
conditions (eg: match of a header).
This patch adds "http-response redirect location <fmt>" which gives
enough flexibility for most imaginable operations. The connection to
the server is closed when this is performed so that we don't risk to
forward any pending data from the server.
Any pending response data are trimmed so that we don't risk to
forward anything pending to the client. It's harmless to also do that
for requests so we don't need to consider the direction.
In order to support http-response redirect, the parsing needs to be
adapted a little bit to only support the "location" type, and to
adjust the log-format parser so that it knows the direction of the
sample fetch calls.
This function tries to spot a proxy by its name, ID and type, and
in case some elements don't match, it tries to determine which ones
could be ignored and reports which ones were ignored so that the
caller can decide whether or not it wants to pick this proxy. This
will be used for maintaining the status across reloads where the
config might have changed a bit.
It does the same as the other one except that it only focuses on the
numeric ID and the capabilities. It's used by proxy_find_by_name()
for numeric names.
These ones were already obsoleted in 1.4, marked for removal in 1.5,
and not documented anymore. They used to emit warnings, and do still
require quite some code to stay in place. Let's remove them now.
First, findproxy() was renamed proxy_find_by_name() so that its explicit
that a name is required for the lookup. Second, we give this function
the ability to search for tables if needed. Third we now provide inline
wrappers to pass the appropriate PR_CAP_* flags and to explicitly look
up a frontend, backend or table.
For backend load balancing it sometimes makes sense to redispatch rather
than retrying against the same server. For example, when machines or routers
fail you may not want to waste time retrying against a dead server and
would instead prefer to immediately redispatch against other servers.
This patch allows backend sections to specify that they want to
redispatch on a particular interval. If the interval N is positive the
redispatch occurs on every Nth retry, and if the interval N is negative then
the redispatch occurs on the Nth retry prior to the last retry (-1 is the
default and maintains backwards compatibility). In low latency environments
tuning this setting can save a few hundred milliseconds when backends fail.
Until now, HAproxy needed to be restarted to change the TLS ticket
keys. With this patch, the TLS keys can be updated on a per-file
basis using the admin socket. Two new socket commands have been
introduced: "show tls-keys" and "set ssl tls-keys".

Within the listener struct we need to use a reference to the TLS
ticket keys which binds the actual keys with the filename. This will
make it possible to update the keys through the socket

tcpcheck error messages include the step id where the error occurs.
In some cases, this is not enough. Now, HAProxy also use the comment
field of the latest tcpcheck rule which has been run.
This commit allows HAProxy to parse a new directive in the tcpcheck
ruleset: 'comment'.
It is used to setup comments on the current tcpcheck rules.
A new field is added into the tcpcheck_rule structure.
This field will host a string used as a comment to describe the rule.
Then this comment can be used in logs to report a more user friendly
message on the step which failed during the tcpcheck ruleset.
Options are relative to the sample. Each sample fetched is associated with
fetch options or fetch flags.
This patch adds the 'opt' vaue in the sample struct. This permits to reduce
the sample-fetch function prototype. In other way, the converters will have
more detail about the origin of the sample.
This patch removes the structs "session", "stream" and "proxy" from
the sample-fetches and converters function prototypes.
This permits to remove some weight in the prototype call.
Some sample analyzer (sample-fetch or converters) needs to known the proxy,
session and stream attached to the sampel. The sample-fetches and the converters
function pointers cannot be called without these 3 pointers filled.
This patch permits to reduce the sample-fetch and the converters called
prototypes, and provides a new mean to add information for this type of
functions.
It is sometimes desirable to wait for the body of an HTTP request before
taking a decision. This is what is being done by "balance url_param" for
example. The first use case is to buffer requests from slow clients before
connecting to the server. Another use case consists in taking the routing
decision based on the request body's contents. This option placed in a
frontend or backend forces the HTTP processing to wait until either the whole
body is received, or the request buffer is full, or the first chunk is
complete in case of chunked encoding. It can have undesired side effects with
some applications abusing HTTP by expecting unbufferred transmissions between
the frontend and the backend, so this should definitely not be used by
default.
Note that it would not work for the response because we don't reset the
message state before starting to forward. For the response we need to
1) reset the message state to MSG_100_SENT or BODY , and 2) to reset
body_len in case of chunked encoding to avoid counting it twice.
Since 1.5, the request body analyser has become independant from any
other element and does not even disturb the message forwarder anymore.
And since it's disabled by default, we can place it before most
analysers so that it's can preempt any other one if an intermediary
one enables it.
Recently some browsers started to implement a "pre-connect" feature
consisting in speculatively connecting to some recently visited web sites
just in case the user would like to visit them. This results in many
connections being established to web sites, which end up in 408 Request
Timeout if the timeout strikes first, or 400 Bad Request when the browser
decides to close them first. These ones pollute the log and feed the error
counters. There was already "option dontlognull" but it's insufficient in
this case. Instead, this option does the following things :
- prevent any 400/408 message from being sent to the client if nothing
was received over a connection before it was closed ;
- prevent any log from being emitted in this situation ;
- prevent any error counter from being incremented
That way the empty connection is silently ignored. Note that it is better
not to use this unless it is clear that it is needed, because it will hide
real problems. The most common reason for not receiving a request and seeing
a 408 is due to an MTU inconsistency between the client and an intermediary
element such as a VPN, which blocks too large packets. These issues are
generally seen with POST requests as well as GET with large cookies. The logs
are often the only way to detect them.
This patch should be backported to 1.5 since it avoids false alerts and
makes it easier to monitor haproxy's status.
The principle of this cache is to have a global cache for all pattern
matching operations which rely on lists (reg, sub, dir, dom, ...). The
input data, the expression and a random seed are used as a hashing key.
The cached entries contains a pointer to the expression and a revision
number for that expression so that we don't accidently used obsolete
data after a pattern update or a very unlikely hash collision.
Regarding the risk of collisions, 10k entries at 10k req/s mean 1% risk
of a collision after 60 years, that's already much less than the memory's
reliability in most machines and more durable than most admin's life
expectancy. A collision will result in a valid result to be returned
for a different entry from the same list. If this is not acceptable,
the cache can be disabled using tune.pattern.cache-size.
A test on a file containing 10k small regex showed that the regex
matching was limited to 6k/s instead of 70k with regular strings.
When enabling the LRU cache, the performance was back to 70k/s.
This will be used to detect any change on the pattern list between
two operations, ultimately making it possible to implement a cache
which immediately invalidates obsolete keys after an update. The
revision is simply taken from the timestamp counter to ensure that
even upon a pointer reuse we cannot accidently come back to the
same (expr,revision) tuple.
The xxhash library provides a very fast and excellent hash algorithm
suitable for many purposes. It excels at hashing large blocks but is
also extremely fast on small ones. It's distributed under a 2-clause
BSD license (GPL-compatible) so it can be included here. Updates are
distributed here :
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash
This will be usable to implement some maps/acl caches for heavy datasets
loaded from files (mostly regex-based but in general anything that cannot
be indexed in a tree).
This one returns a timestamp, either the one from the CPU or from
gettimeofday() in 64-bit format. The purpose is to be able to compare
timestamps on various entities to make it easier to detect updates.
It can also be used for benchmarking in certain situations during
development.
This commit adds 4 new log format variables that parse the
HTTP Request-Line for more specific logging than "%r" provides.
For example, we can parse the following HTTP Request-Line with
these new variables:
"GET /foo?bar=baz HTTP/1.1"
- %HM: HTTP Method ("GET")
- %HV: HTTP Version ("HTTP/1.1")
- %HU: HTTP Request-URI ("/foo?bar=baz")
- %HP: HTTP Request-URI without query string ("/foo")
Since appctx are scheduled out of streams, it's pointless to wake up
the task managing the stream to push updates, they won't be seen. In
fact unit tests work because silent sessions are restarted after 5s of
idle and the exchange is correctly scheduled during startup!
So we need to notify the appctx instead. For this we add a pointer to
the appctx in the peer session.
No backport is needed of course.
Currently we have a problem. There are some cases where a sleeping applet
is not woken up (eg: show sess during an injection). The reason is that
the applet is marked WAIT_DATA and is not woken up when WAIT_ROOM leaves,
because we wait for both flags to be cleared in order to call it.
And if we wait for either flag, then we have the opposite situation, which
is that we're not waiting for room in the output buffer so we're spinning
calling the applet to do nothing.
What is missing is an indication of what the applet needs. Since it only
manipulates the WAIT_ROOM/WAIT_DATA which are overwritten later, that cannot
work. In the case of connections, the problem doesn't happen because the
connection maintains these extra states. Ideally we'd need to have similar
states for each appctx and to store those information there. But it would
be overcomplicated given that an applet doesn't exist alone without a
stream-int, so we can safely put these information into the stream int and
make the code simpler.
With this patch we introduce two new flags in the stream interface :
- SI_FL_WANT_PUT : the applet wants to put something into the buffer
- SI_FL_WANT_GET : the applet wants to get something from the buffer
We also have the new functions si_applet_{stop|want|cant}_{get|put}
to make the code look similar to the connection code.
For now these flags are not used yet.
This is the equivalent of si_conn_wake() but for applets. It will be
called after changes to the stream interface are brought by the applet
I/O handler. Ultimately it will release buffers and may be even wake
the stream's task up if some important changes are detected.
It would be nice to be able to merge it with the connection's wake
function since it mostly manipulates the stream interface, but there
are minor differences (such as how to enable/disable polling on a fd
vs applet) and some specificities to applets (eg: don't wake the
applet up until the output is empty) which would require abstract
functions which would slow down everything.
The new function is called for each round of polling in order to call any
active appctx. For now we pick the stream interface from the appctx's
owner. At the moment there's no appctx queued yet, but we have everything
needed to queue them and remove them.
Now that applet's functions only take an appctx in argument, not a
stream interface. This slightly simplifies the code and will be needed
to take the appctx out of the stream interface.
It happened after changing the stream interface deinitialization
sequence that we got random crashes with si_shutw() being called
on NULL si->end. The reason was that si->ops was not reset after
a call to si_release_endpoint() which is sometimes called directly.
Thus we now move the resetting of si->ops just after any si->end
assignment. It happens that si_detach() is now just the same as
si_release_endpoint() and stream_int_unregister_handler(). Some
cleanup will have to be performed there.
It's not sure whether this problem can impact 1.5 since in 1.5
applets are part of the default embedded stream handler. The only
way it could cause some trouble is if it's used with a connection,
which doesn't seem possible at first glance.
Commit bc4c1ac ("MEDIUM: http/tcp: permit to resume http and tcp custom
actions") introduced the ability to interrupt and restart processing in
the middle of a TCP/HTTP ruleset. But it doesn't do it in a consistent
way : it checks current_rule_list, immediately dereferences current_rule,
which is only set in certain cases and never cleared. So that broke the
tcp-request content rules when the processing was interrupted due to
missing data, because current_rule was not yet set (segfault) or could
have been inherited from another ruleset if it was used in a backend
(random behaviour).
The proper way to do it is to always set current_rule before dereferencing
it. But we don't want to set it for all rules because we don't want any
action to provide a checkpointing mechanism. So current_rule is set to NULL
before entering the loop, and only used if not NULL and if current_rule_list
matches the current list. This way they both serve as a guard for the other
one. This fix also makes the current rule point to the rule instead of its
list element, as it's much easier to manipulate.
No backport is needed, this is 1.6-specific.
This patch adds support for error codes 429 and 405 to Haproxy and a
"deny_status XXX" option to "http-request deny" where you can specify which
code is returned with 403 being the default. We really want to do this the
"haproxy way" and hope to have this patch included in the mainline. We'll
be happy address any feedback on how this is implemented.
We don't pass sess->origin anymore but the pointer to the previous step. Now
it should be much easier to chain elements together once applets are moved out
of streams. Indeed, the session is only used for configuration and not for the
dynamic chaining anymore.
The include file did not protect correctly against multiple inclusions,
as it didn't define the file name after checking for it. That's currently
harmless as the file is only included from .c but that could change.
This patch cretes a new Map class that permits to do some lookup in
HAProxy maps. This Map class is integration in the HAProxy update
system, so we can modify the map throught the socket.
The function was called stream_accept_session(), let's rename it
stream_new() and make it return the newly allocated pointer. It's
more convenient for some callers who need it.
This concerns everythins related to accepting a new session and
expiring the embryonic session. There's still a hard-coded call
to stream_accept_session() which could be set somewhere in the
frontend, but for now it's not a problem.
Now that the previous changes were made, we can add a struct task
pointer to stream_complete() and get rid of it in struct session.
The new relation between connection, session and task are like this :
orig -- sess <-- context
| |
v |
conn -- owner ---> task
Some session-specific parts should now move away from stream.
The function now only initializes a session, calls the tcp req connection
rules, and calls stream_complete() to finish initialization. If a handshake
is needed, it is done without allocating the stream at all.
Temporarily, in order to limit the amount of changes, the task allocated
is put into sess->task, and it is used by the connection for the handshake
or is offered to the stream. At this point we set the relation between
sess/task/conn this way :
orig -- sess <-- context
| ^ +- task -+ |
v | v |
conn -- owner task
The task must not remain in the session and ultimately it is planned to
remove this task pointer from the session because it can be found by
having conn->owner = task, and looping back from sess to conn, and to
find the session from the connection via the task.
It passes a NULL wherever a stream was needed (acl_exec_cond() and
action_ptr mainly). It can still track the connection rate correctly
and block based on ACLs.
In order to support sessions tracking counters, we first ensure that there
is no overlap between streams' stkctr and sessions', and we allow an
automatic lookup into the session's counters when the stream doesn't
have a counter or when the stream doesn't exist during an access via
a sample fetch. The functions used to update the stream counters only
update them and not the session counters however.
The stick counters in the session will be used for everything not related
to contents, hence the connections / concurrent sessions / etc. They will
be usable by "tcp-request connection" rules even without a stream. For now
they're just allocated and initialized.
Doing so ensures we don't need to use the stream anymore to prepare the
log information to report a failed handshake on an embryonic session.
Thus, prepare_mini_sess_log_prefix() now takes a session in argument.
Now that we have sess->origin to carry that information along, we don't
need to put that into strm->target anymore, so we remove one dependence
on the stream in embryonic connections.
Many such function need a session, and till now they used to dereference
the stream. Once we remove the stream from the embryonic session, this
will not be possible anymore.
So as of now, sample fetch functions will be called with this :
- sess = NULL, strm = NULL : never
- sess = valid, strm = NULL : tcp-req connection
- sess = valid, strm = valid, strm->txn = NULL : tcp-req content
- sess = valid, strm = valid, strm->txn = valid : http-req / http-res
The registerable http_req_rules / http_res_rules used to require a
struct http_txn at the end. It's redundant with struct stream and
propagates very deep into some parts (ie: it was the reason for lua
requiring l7). Let's remove it now.
All of them can now retrieve the HTTP transaction *if it exists* from
the stream and be sure to get NULL there when called with an embryonic
session.
The patch is a bit large because many locations were touched (all fetch
functions had to have their prototype adjusted). The opportunity was
taken to also uniformize the call names (the stream is now always "strm"
instead of "l4") and to fix indent where it was broken. This way when
we later introduce the session here there will be less confusion.
Now this one is dynamically allocated. It means that 280 bytes of memory
are saved per TCP stream, but more importantly that it will become
possible to remove the l7 pointer from fetches and converters since
it will be deduced from the stream and will support being null.
A lot of care was taken because it's easy to forget a test somewhere,
and the previous code used to always trust s->txn for being valid, but
all places seem to have been visited.
All HTTP fetch functions check the txn first so we shouldn't have any
issue there even when called from TCP. When branching from a TCP frontend
to an HTTP backend, the txn is properly allocated at the same time as the
hdr_idx.
The header captures are now general purpose captures since tcp rules
can use them to capture various contents. That removes a dependency
on http_txn that appeared in some sample fetch functions and in the
order by which captures and http_txn were allocated.
Interestingly the reset of the header captures were done at too many
places as http_init_txn() used to do it while it was done previously
in every call place.
Just like for the listener, the frontend is session-wide so let's move
it to the session. There are a lot of places which were changed but the
changes are minimal in fact.
There is now a pointer to the session in the stream, which is NULL
for now. The session pool is created as well. Some parts will move
from the stream to the session now.
With HTTP/2, we'll have to support multiplexed streams. A stream is in
fact the largest part of what we currently call a session, it has buffers,
logs, etc.
In order to catch any error, this commit removes any reference to the
struct session and tries to rename most "session" occurrences in function
names to "stream" and "sess" to "strm" when that's related to a session.
The files stream.{c,h} were added and session.{c,h} removed.
The session will be reintroduced later and a few parts of the stream
will progressively be moved overthere. It will more or less contain
only what we need in an embryonic session.
Sample fetch functions and converters will have to change a bit so
that they'll use an L5 (session) instead of what's currently called
"L4" which is in fact L6 for now.
Once all changes are completed, we should see approximately this :
L7 - http_txn
L6 - stream
L5 - session
L4 - connection | applet
There will be at most one http_txn per stream, and a same session will
possibly be referenced by multiple streams. A connection will point to
a session and to a stream. The session will hold all the information
we need to keep even when we don't yet have a stream.
Some more cleanup is needed because some code was already far from
being clean. The server queue management still refers to sessions at
many places while comments talk about connections. This will have to
be cleaned up once we have a server-side connection pool manager.
Stream flags "SN_*" still need to be renamed, it doesn't seem like
any of them will need to move to the session.
This library is designed to emit a zlib-compatible stream with no
memory usage and to favor resource savings over compression ratio.
While zlib requires 256 kB of RAM per compression context (and can only
support 4000 connections per GB of RAM), the stateless compression
offered by libslz does not need to retain buffers between subsequent
calls. In theory this slightly reduces the compression ratio but in
practice it does not have that much of an effect since the zlib
window is limited to 32kB.
Libslz is available at :
http://git.1wt.eu/web?p=libslz.git
It was designed for web compression and provides a lot of savings
over zlib in haproxy. Here are the preliminary results on a single
core of a core2-quad 3.0 GHz in 32-bit for only 300 concurrent
sessions visiting the home page of www.haproxy.org (76 kB) with
the default 16kB buffers :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio memory VSZ/RSS
zlib 237 Mbps 92 Mbps 145 Mbps 2.58 84M / 69M
slz 733 Mbps 380 Mbps 353 Mbps 1.93 5.9M / 4.2M
So while the compression ratio is lower, the bandwidth savings are
much more important due to the significantly lower compression cost
which allows to consume even more data from the servers. In the
example above, zlib became the bottleneck at 24% of the output
bandwidth. Also the difference in memory usage is obvious.
More tests run on a single core of a core i5-3320M, with 500 concurrent
users and the default 16kB buffers :
At 100% CPU (no limit) :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio memory VSZ/RSS hits/s
zlib 480 Mbps 188 Mbps 292 Mbps 2.55 130M / 101M 744
slz 1700 Mbps 810 Mbps 890 Mbps 2.10 23.7M / 9.7M 2382
At 85% CPU (limited) :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio memory VSZ/RSS hits/s
zlib 1240 Mbps 976 Mbps 264 Mbps 1.27 130M / 100M 1738
slz 1600 Mbps 976 Mbps 624 Mbps 1.64 23.7M / 9.7M 2210
The most important benefit really happens when the CPU usage is
limited by "maxcompcpuusage" or the BW limited by "maxcomprate" :
in order to preserve resources, haproxy throttles the compression
ratio until usage is within limits. Since slz is much cheaper, the
average compression ratio is much higher and the input bandwidth
is quite higher for one Gbps output.
Other tests made with some reference files :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio hits/s
daniels.html zlib 1320 Mbps 163 Mbps 1157 Mbps 8.10 1925
slz 3600 Mbps 580 Mbps 3020 Mbps 6.20 5300
tv.com/listing zlib 980 Mbps 124 Mbps 856 Mbps 7.90 310
slz 3300 Mbps 553 Mbps 2747 Mbps 5.97 1100
jquery.min.js zlib 430 Mbps 180 Mbps 250 Mbps 2.39 547
slz 1470 Mbps 764 Mbps 706 Mbps 1.92 1815
bootstrap.min.css zlib 790 Mbps 165 Mbps 625 Mbps 4.79 777
slz 2450 Mbps 650 Mbps 1800 Mbps 3.77 2400
So on top of saving a lot of memory, slz is constantly 2.5-3.5 times
faster than zlib and results in providing more savings for a fixed CPU
usage. For links smaller than 100 Mbps, zlib still provides a better
compression ratio, at the expense of a much higher CPU usage.
Larger input files provide slightly higher bandwidth for both libs, at
the expense of a bit more memory usage for zlib (it converges to 256kB
per connection).
This function used to take a zlib-specific flag as argument to indicate
whether a buffer flush or end of contents was met, let's split it in two
so that we don't depend on zlib anymore.
Thanks to MSIE/IIS, the "deflate" name is ambigous. According to the RFC
it's a zlib-wrapped deflate stream, but IIS used to send only a raw deflate
stream, which is the only format MSIE understands for "deflate". The other
widely used browsers do support both formats. For this reason some people
prefer to emit a raw deflate stream on "deflate" to serve more users even
it that means violating the standards. Haproxy only follows the standard,
so they cannot do this.
This patch makes it possible to have one algorithm name in the configuration
and another one in the protocol. This will make it possible to have a new
configuration token to add a different algorithm so that users can decide if
they want a raw deflate or the standard one.
There's no reason for exporting identity_* nor deflate_*, they're only
used in the same file. Mark them static, it will make it easier to add
other algorithms.
Till now we used to rely on a fixed maximum chunk size. Thanks to last
commit we're now free to adjust the chunk's length before sending the
data, so we don't have to use 6 digits all the time anymore, and if
one wants buffers larger than 16 MB it is now possible.
This class is accessible via the TXN object. It is created only if
the attached proxy have HTTP mode. It contain all the HTTP
manipulation functions:
- req_get_headers
- req_del_header
- req_rep_header
- req_rep_value
- req_add_header
- req_set_header
- req_set_method
- req_set_path
- req_set_query
- req_set_uri
- res_get_headers
- res_del_header
- res_rep_header
- res_rep_value
- res_add_header
- res_set_header
This function is a callback for HTTP actions. This function
creates the replacement string from a build_logline() format
and transform the header.
This patch split this function in two part. With this modification,
the header transformation and the replacement string are separed.
We can now transform the header with another replacement string
source than a build_logline() format.
The first part is the replacement engine. It take a replacement action
number and a replacement string and process the action.
The second part is the function which is called by the 'http-request
action' to replace a request line part. This function makes the
string used as replacement.
This split permits to use the replacement engine in other parts of the
code than the request action. The Lua use it for his own http action.
This will be useful later to state that some listeners have to use
certain decoders (typically an HTTP/2 decoder) regardless of the
regular processing applied to other listeners. For now it simply
defaults to the frontend's default target, and it is used by the
session.
Listerner->timeout is a vestigal thing going back to 2007 or so. It
used to only be used by stats and peers frontends to hold a pointer
to the proxy's client timeout. Now that we use regular frontends, we
don't use it anymore.
Some services such as peers and CLI pre-set the target applet immediately
during accept(), and for this reason they're forced to have a dedicated
accept() function which does not even properly follow everything the regular
one does (eg: sndbuf/rcvbuf/linger/nodelay are not set, etc).
Let's store the default target when known into the frontend's config so that
it's session_accept() which automatically sets it.
The default value is stored in a special struct that describe the
map. This default value is parsed with special parser. This is
useless because HAProxy provides a space to store the default
value (the args) and HAProxy provides also standard parser for
the input types (args again).
This patch remove this special storage and replace it by an argument.
In other way the args of maps are declared as the expected type in
place of strings.
It's now called conn_sock_drain() to make it clear that it only reads
at the sock layer and not at the data layer. The function was too big
to remain inlined and it's used at a few places where size counts.
Currently si_idle_conn_null_cb() has to perform some low-level checks
over the file descriptor and the connection configuration that should
only belong to conn_drain(). Let's move these controls there. The
function now automatically checks for errors and hangups on the file
descriptor for example, and disables recv polling if there's no drain
function at the control layer.
This function is an equivalent to send() which operates over a connection
instead of a file descriptor. It checks that the control layer is ready
and that it's allowed to send. If automatically enables polling if it
cannot send. It simplifies the return checks by returning zero in all
cases where it cannot send so that the caller only has to care about
negative values indicating errors.
This will save callers from having to care about conn->xprt and xprt->shutw.
Note that shutw() takes a second argument indicating whether it's a clean or
a hard shutw. This is used by SSL which tries to close cleanly in most cases.
Here we provide two versions, conn_data_shutw() which performs the clean
close, and conn_data_shutw_hard() which does the unclean one.
This function was not used yet and was only supposed to mark the connection
as shutdown for write. Unfortunately at other places in stream_interface.c,
we're seeing a bit of layering violations with attempts to perform the shutdown
on the fd directly. Let's make this function call shutdown() itself so that
the callers only have to care about the connection.
This struct used to carry only a sample fetch function. Thanks to
lua_pushuserdata(), we don't need to have the Lua engine allocate
that struct for us and we can simply push our pointer onto the stack.
This makes the code more readable by removing several occurrences of
"f->f->". Just like the previous patch, it comes with the nice effect
of saving about 1.3% of performance when fetching samples from Lua.
Since last cleanups, this one was only used to carry a struct channel.
Removing it makes the code a bit cleaner (no more chn->chn) and easier
to follow (no more abstraction for a common type). Interestingly it
happens to also make the Lua code slightly faster (about 1.5%) when
using channels, probably thanks to less pointer dereferences and maybe
the use of lua_pushlightuserdata().
Now that we can get the session from the channel, let's simplify the
prototype of session_alloc_recv_buffer() to only require the channel.
Both the caller and the function are now simplified.
The purpose of these two macros will be to pass via the session to
find the relevant stream interfaces so that we don't need to store
the ->cons nor ->prod pointers anymore. Currently they're only defined
so that all references could be removed.
Note that many places need a second pass of clean up so that we don't
have any chn_prod(&s->req) anymore and only &s->si[0] instead, and
conversely for the 3 other cases.
At a few places we need to find one stream interface from the other one.
Instead of passing via the channel, we simply use the session as an
intermediary, which simply results in applying an offset to the pointer.
We go back to the session to get the owner. Here again it's very easy
and is just a matter of relative offsets. Since the owner always exists
and always points to the session's task, we can remove some unneeded
tests.
In order to plan removal of si->ib / si->ob, we now check the side of the
stream interface and find the session, then the requested channel. In
practice it's just an offset applied to the pointer based on the flag.
This new flag "SI_FL_ISBACK" is set only on the back SI and is cleared
on the front SI. That way it's possible only by looking at the SI to
know what side it is.
We'll soon remove direct references to the channels from the stream
interface since everything belongs to the same session, so let's
first not dereference si->ib / si->ob anymore and use macros instead.
The channels were pointers to outside structs and this is not needed
anymore since the buffers have moved, but this complicates operations.
Move them back into the session so that both channels and stream interfaces
are always allocated for a session. Some places (some early sample fetch
functions) used to validate that a channel was NULL prior to dereferencing
it. Now instead we check if chn->buf is NULL and we force it to remain NULL
until the channel is initialized.
In some cases we don't want to known if a fetch or converter
fails. We just want a valid string. After this patch, we
have two sets of fetches and two sets of converters. There are:
txn.f, txn.sf, txn.c, txn.sc. The version prefixed by 's' always
returns strings for any type, and returns an empty string in the
error case or when the data are not available. This is particularly
useful when manipulating headers or cookies.
This patch implements a wrapper to give access to the converters
in the Lua code. The converters are used with the transaction.
The automatically created function are prefixed by "conv_".
HAProxy proposes many sample fetches. It is possible that the
automatic registration of the sample fetches causes a collision
with an existing Lua function. This patch sets a namespace for
the sample fetches.
The function buffer_contig_space() returns the contiguous space avalaible
to add data (at the end of the input side) while the function
hlua_channel_send_yield() needs to insert data starting at p. Here we
introduce a new function bi_space_for_replace() which returns the amount
of space that can be inserted at the head of the input side with one of
the buffer_replace* functions.
This patch proposes a function that returns the space avalaible after buf->p.
If we are writing in the request buffer, we are not waked up
when the data are forwarded because it is useles. The request
analyzers are waked up only when data is incoming. So, if the
request buffer is full, we set the WAKE_ON_WRITE flag.
Before this patch, each yield in a Lua action set a flags to be
waked up when some activity were detected on the response channel.
This behavior causes loop in the analyzer process.
This patch set the wake up on response buffer activity only if we
really want to be waked up on this activity.
This flag indicate that the current yield is returned by the Lua
execution task control. If this flag is set, the current task may
quit but will be set in the run queue to be re-executed immediatly.
This patch modify the "hlua_yieldk()" function, it adds an argument
that contain a field containing yield options.
This is used to ensure that the task doesn't become a zombie
when the Lua returns a yield. The yield wrapper ensure that an
timer used for waking up the task will be set.
The timer is reseted to TICK_ETERNITY if the Lua execution is
done.
This first patch permits to cofigure the Lua execution exipiration.
This expiration is configured but it is not yet avalaible, it will
be add in a future patch.
In the future, the lua execution must return scheduling informations.
We want more than one flag, so I convert an integer used with an
enum into an interer used as bitfield.
The channel class permits manipulation of channels. A channel is
an FIFO buffer between the client and the server. This class provides
function to read, write, forward, destroy and alter data between
the input and the ouput of the buffer.
This patch adds the TCP I/O functionnality. The class implemented
provides the same functions than the "lua socket" project. This
make network compatibility with another LUA project. The documentation
is located here:
http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/tcp.html
This version of sleep is based on a coroutine. A sleeping
task is started and a signal is registered. This sleep version
must disapear to be replaced by a version using the internal
timers.
This patch adds the browsing of all the HAProxy fetches and
create associated LUA functions. The HAProxy internal fetches
can be used in LUA trough the class "TXN".
Note that the symbols "-", "+" and "." in the name of current
sample fetch are rewrited as "_" in LUA because ".", "-" and "+"
are operators.
This class of functions permit to access to all the functions
associated with the transaction like http header, HAProxy internal
fetches, etc ...
This patch puts the skeleton of this class. The class will be
enhanced later.
This system permits to execute some lua function after than HAProxy
complete his initialisation. These functions are executed between
the end of the configuration parsing and check and the begin of the
scheduler.
This system permits to send signals between lua tasks. A main lua stack can
register the signal in a coprocess. When the coprocess finish his job, it
send a signal, and the associated task is wakes. If the main lua execution
stack stop (with or without errors), the list or pending signals is purged.
This is the first step of the lua integration. We add the useful
files in the HAProxy project. These files contains the main
includes, the Makefile options and empty initialisation function.
Is is the LUA skeleton.
We now have functions to retrieve one block and one line from
either the input or the output part of a buffer. They return
up to two (pointer,length) values in case the buffer wraps.
Later, the processing of some actions needs to be interrupted and resumed
later. This patch permit to resume the actions. The actions that needs
to run with the resume mode are not yet avalaible. It will be soon with
Lua patches. So the code added by this patch is untestable for the moment.
The list of "tcp_exec_req_rules" cannot resme because is called by the
unresumable function "accept_session".
This patch introduces an action keyword registration system for TCP
rulesets similar to what is available for HTTP rulesets. This sytem
will be useful with lua.
These modifications are done for resolving cross-dependent
includes in the upcoming LUA code.
<proto/channel.h> misses <types/channel.h>.
<types/acl.h> doesn't use <types/session.h> because the session
is already declared in the file as undefined pointer.
appsession.c misses <unistd.h> to use "write()".
Declare undefined pointer "struct session" for <types/proxy.h>
and <types/queue.h>. These includes dont need the detail of this
struct.
The functions "val_payload_lv" and "val_hdr" are useful with
lua. The lua automatic binding for sample fetchs needs to
compare check functions.
The "arg_type_names" permit to display error messages.
Some usages of the converters need to know the attached session. The Lua
needs the session for retrieving his running context. This patch adds
the "session" as an argument of the converters prototype.
This behavior is already existing for the "WAIT_HTTP" analyzer,
this patch just extends the system to any analyzer that would
be waked up on response activity.
When the destination IP is dynamically set, we can't use the "target"
to define the proto. This patch ensures that we always use the protocol
associated with the address family. The proto field was removed from
the server and check structs.
Actually, HAProxy uses the function "process_runnable_tasks" and
"wake_expired_tasks" to get the next task which can expires.
If a task is added with "task_schedule" or other method during
the execution of an other task, the expiration of this new task
is not taken into account, and the execution of this task can be
too late.
Actualy, HAProxy seems to be no sensitive to this bug.
This fix moves the call to process_runnable_tasks() before the timeout
calculation and ensures that all wakeups are processed together. Only
wake_expired_tasks() needs to return a timeout now.
Until now, the TLS ticket keys couldn't have been configured and
shared between multiple instances or multiple servers running HAproxy.
The result was that if a request got a TLS ticket from one instance/server
and it hits another one afterwards, it will have to go through the full
SSL handshake and negotation.
This patch enables adding a ticket file to the bind line, which will be
used for all SSL contexts created from that bind line. We can use the
same file on all instances or servers to mitigate this issue and have
consistent TLS tickets assigned. Clients will no longer have to negotiate
every time they change the handling process.

As found by Thierry Fournier, if a task manages to kill another one and
if this other task is the next one in the run queue, we can do whatever
including crashing, because the scheduler restarts from the saved next
task. For now, there is no such concept of a task killing another one,
but with Lua it will come.
A solution consists in always performing the lookup of the first task in
the scheduler's loop, but it's expensive and costs around 2% of the
performance.
Another solution consists in keeping a global next run queue node and
ensuring that when this task gets removed, it updates this pointer to
the next one. This allows to simplify the code a bit and in the end to
slightly increase the performance (0.3-0.5%). The mechanism might still
be usable if we later migrate to a multi-threaded scheduler.
The patch "MEDIUM: args: increase arg type to 5 bits and limit arg count
to 5" (dbc79d0a) increased the number of types supported, but forgot to
remove the ARG6/ARG7 macros.
This option disables SSL session reuse when SSL is used to communicate with
the server. It will force the server to perform a full handshake for every
new connection. It's probably only useful for benchmarking, troubleshooting,
and for paranoid users.
This patch adds a new option which allows configuration of the maximum
log level of messages for which email alerts will be sent.
The default is alert which is more restrictive than
the current code which sends email alerts for all priorities.
That behaviour may be configured using the new configuration
option to set the maximum level to notice or greater.

On Linux since 2.6.37, it's possible to set the socket timeout for
pending outgoing data, with an accuracy of 1 millisecond. This is
pretty handy to deal with dead connections to clients and or servers.
For now we only implement it on the frontend side (bind line) so
that when a client disappears from the net, we're able to quickly
get rid of its connection and possibly release a server connection.
This can be useful with long-lived connections where an application
level timeout is not suited because long pauses are expected (remote
terminals, connection pools, etc).
Thanks to Thijs Houtenbos and John Eckersberg for the suggestion.
This currently does nothing beyond parsing the configuration
and storing in the proxy as there is no implementation of email alerts.

This commit implements the following new actions :
- "set-method" rewrites the request method with the result of the
evaluation of format string <fmt>. There should be very few valid reasons
for having to do so as this is more likely to break something than to fix
it.
- "set-path" rewrites the request path with the result of the evaluation of
format string <fmt>. The query string, if any, is left intact. If a
scheme and authority is found before the path, they are left intact as
well. If the request doesn't have a path ("*"), this one is replaced with
the format. This can be used to prepend a directory component in front of
a path for example. See also "set-query" and "set-uri".
Example :
# prepend the host name before the path
http-request set-path /%[hdr(host)]%[path]
- "set-query" rewrites the request's query string which appears after the
first question mark ("?") with the result of the evaluation of format
string <fmt>. The part prior to the question mark is left intact. If the
request doesn't contain a question mark and the new value is not empty,
then one is added at the end of the URI, followed by the new value. If
a question mark was present, it will never be removed even if the value
is empty. This can be used to add or remove parameters from the query
string. See also "set-query" and "set-uri".
Example :
# replace "%3D" with "=" in the query string
http-request set-query %[query,regsub(%3D,=,g)]
- "set-uri" rewrites the request URI with the result of the evaluation of
format string <fmt>. The scheme, authority, path and query string are all
replaced at once. This can be used to rewrite hosts in front of proxies,
or to perform complex modifications to the URI such as moving parts
between the path and the query string. See also "set-path" and
"set-query".
All of them are handled by the same parser and the same exec function,
which is why they're merged all together. For once, instead of adding
even more entries to the huge switch/case, we used the new facility to
register action keywords. A number of the existing ones should probably
move there as well.
This function (and its sister regex_exec_match2()) abstract the regex
execution but make it impossible to pass flags to the regex engine.
Currently we don't use them but we'll need to support REG_NOTBOL soon
(to indicate that we're not at the beginning of a line). So let's add
support for this flag and update the API accordingly.
This one will be used when a regex is expected. It is automatically
resolved after the parsing and compiled into a regex. Some optional
flags are supported in the type-specific flags that should be set by
the optional arg checker. One is used during the regex compilation :
ARGF_REG_ICASE to ignore case.
These flags are meant to be used by arg checkers to pass out-of-band
information related to some args. A typical use is to indicate how a
regex is expected to be compiled/matched based on other arguments.
These flags are initialized to zero by default and it is up to the args
checkers to set them if needed.
We'll soon need to add new argument types, and we don't use the current
limit of 7 arguments, so let's increase the arg type size to 5 bits and
reduce the arg count to 5 (3 max are used today).
This is in order to add new types. This patch does not change anything
else. Two remaining (harmless) occurrences of a count of 8 instead of 7
were fixed by this patch : empty_arg_list[] and the for() loop counting
args.
This function will be used to perform CRC32 computations. This one wa
loosely inspired from crc32b found here, and focuses on size and speed
at the same time :
http://www.hackersdelight.org/hdcodetxt/crc.c.txt
Much faster table-based versions exist but are pointless for our usage
here, this hash already sustains gigabit speed which is far faster than
what we'd ever need. Better preserve the CPU's cache instead.
If a memory size limit is enforced using "-n" on the command line and
one or both of maxconn / maxsslconn are not set, instead of using the
build-time values, haproxy now computes the number of sessions that can
be allocated depending on a number of parameters among which :
- global.maxconn (if set)
- global.maxsslconn (if set)
- maxzlibmem
- tune.ssl.cachesize
- presence of SSL in at least one frontend (bind lines)
- presence of SSL in at least one backend (server lines)
- tune.bufsize
- tune.cookie_len
The purpose is to ensure that not haproxy will not run out of memory
when maxing out all parameters. If neither maxconn nor maxsslconn are
used, it will consider that 100% of the sessions involve SSL on sides
where it's supported. That means that it will typically optimize maxconn
for SSL offloading or SSL bridging on all connections. This generally
means that the simple act of enabling SSL in a frontend or in a backend
will significantly reduce the global maxconn but in exchange of that, it
will guarantee that it will not fail.
All metrics may be enforced using #defines to accomodate variations in
SSL libraries or various allocation sizes.
An SSL connection takes some memory when it exists and during handshakes.
We measured up to 16kB for an established endpoint, and up to 76 extra kB
during a handshake. The SSL layer stores these values into the global
struct during initialization. If other SSL libs are used, it's easy to
change these values. Anyway they'll only be used as gross estimates in
order to guess the max number of SSL conns that can be established when
memory is constrained and the limit is not set.
We'll need to know the number of SSL connections, their use and their
cost soon. In order to avoid getting tons of ifdefs everywhere, always
export SSL information in the global section. We add two flags to know
whether or not SSL is used in a frontend and in a backend.
It applies to the channel and it doesn't erase outgoing data, only
pending unread data, which is strictly equivalent to what recv()
does with MSG_TRUNC, so that new name is more accurate and intuitive.
This name more accurately reminds that it applies to a channel and not
to a buffer, and that what is returned may be used as a max number of
bytes to pass to recv().
This applies to the channel, not the buffer, so let's fix this name.
Warning, the function's name happens to be the same as the old one
which was mistakenly used during 1.5.
This function's name was poorly chosen and is confusing to the point of
being suspiciously used at some places. The operations it does always
consider the ability to forward pending input data before receiving new
data. This is not obvious at all, especially at some places where it was
used when consuming outgoing data to know if the buffer has any chance
to ever get the missing data. The code needs to be re-audited with that
in mind. Care must be taken with existing code since the polarity of the
function was switched with the renaming.
channel_reserved is confusingly named. It is used to know whether or
not the rewrite area is left intact for situations where we want to
ensure we can use it before proceeding. Let's rename it to fix this
confusion.
Option http-send-name-header is still hurting. If a POST request has to be
redispatched when this option is used, and the next server's name is larger
than the initial one, and the POST body fills the buffer, it becomes
impossible to rewrite the server's name in the buffer when redispatching.
In 1.4, this is worse, the process may crash because of a negative size
computation for the memmove().
The only solution to fix this is to refrain from eating the reserve before
we're certain that we won't modify the buffer anymore. And the condition for
that is that the connection is established.
This patch introduces "channel_may_send()" which helps to detect whether it's
safe to eat the reserve or not. This condition is used by channel_in_transit()
introduced by recent patches.
This patch series must be backported into 1.5, and a simpler version must be
backported into 1.4 where fixing the bug is much easier since there were no
channels by then. Note that in 1.4 the severity is major.
This function returns the amount of bytes in transit in a channel's buffer,
which is the amount of outgoing data plus the amount of incoming data bound
to the forward limit.
We know that all incoming data are going to be purged if to_forward
is greater than them, not only if greater than the buffer size. This
buf has no direct impact on this version, but it participates to some
bugs affecting http-send-name-header since 1.4. This fix will have to
be backported down to 1.4 albeit in a different form.
The buffer_max_len() function is subject to an integer overflow in this
calculus :
int ret = global.tune.maxrewrite - chn->to_forward - chn->buf->o;
- chn->to_forward may be up to 2^31 - 1
- chn->buf->o may be up to chn->buf->size
- global.tune.maxrewrite is by definition smaller than chn->buf->size
Thus here we can subtract (2^31 + buf->o) (highly negative) from something
slightly positive, and result in ret being larger than expected.
Fortunately in 1.5 and 1.6, this is only used by bi_avail() which itself
is used by applets which do not set high values for to_forward so this
problem does not happen there. However in 1.4 the equivalent computation
was used to limit the size of a read and can result in a read overflow
when combined with the nasty http-send-name-header feature.
This fix must be backported to 1.5 and 1.4.
Some users reported that the default max hostname length of 32 is too
short in some environments. This patch does two things :
- it relies on the system's max hostname length as found in MAXHOSTNAMELEN
if it is set. This is the most logical thing to do as the system libs
generally present the appropriate value supported by the system. This
value is 64 on Linux and 256 on Solaris, to give a few examples.
- otherwise it defaults to 64
It is still possible to override this value by defining MAX_HOSTNAME_LEN at
build time. After some observation time, this patch may be backported to
1.5 if it does not cause any build issue, as it is harmless and may help
some users.
This is equivalent to what was done in commit 48936af ("[MINOR] log:
ability to override the syslog tag") but this time instead of doing
this globally, it does it per proxy. The purpose is to be able to use
a separate log tag for various proxies (eg: make it easier to route
log messages depending on the customer).
Since commit 3dd6a25 ("MINOR: stream-int: retrieve session pointer from
stream-int"), we can get the session from the task, so let's get rid of
this less obvious function.
commit 9ede66b0 introduced an environment variable (HAPROXY_SERVER_CURCONN) that
was supposed to be dynamically updated, but it was set only once, during its
initialization.
Most of the code provided in this previous patch has been rewritten in order to
easily update the environment variables without reallocating memory during each
check.
Now, HAPROXY_SERVER_CURCONN will contain the current number of connections on
the server at the time of the check.
bi_swpbuf() swaps the buffer passed in argument with the one attached to
the channel, but only if this last one is empty. The idea is to avoid a
copy when buffers can simply be swapped.
This setting is used to limit memory usage without causing the alloc
failures caused by "-m". Unexpectedly, tests have shown a performance
boost of up to about 18% on HTTP traffic when limiting the number of
buffers to about 10% of the amount of concurrent connections.
tune.buffers.limit <number>
Sets a hard limit on the number of buffers which may be allocated per process.
The default value is zero which means unlimited. The minimum non-zero value
will always be greater than "tune.buffers.reserve" and should ideally always
be about twice as large. Forcing this value can be particularly useful to
limit the amount of memory a process may take, while retaining a sane
behaviour. When this limit is reached, sessions which need a buffer wait for
another one to be released by another session. Since buffers are dynamically
allocated and released, the waiting time is very short and not perceptible
provided that limits remain reasonable. In fact sometimes reducing the limit
may even increase performance by increasing the CPU cache's efficiency. Tests
have shown good results on average HTTP traffic with a limit to 1/10 of the
expected global maxconn setting, which also significantly reduces memory
usage. The memory savings come from the fact that a number of connections
will not allocate 2*tune.bufsize. It is best not to touch this value unless
advised to do so by an haproxy core developer.
We've already experimented with three wake up algorithms when releasing
buffers : the first naive one used to wake up far too many sessions,
causing many of them not to get any buffer. The second approach which
was still in use prior to this patch consisted in waking up either 1
or 2 sessions depending on the number of FDs we had released. And this
was still inaccurate. The third one tried to cover the accuracy issues
of the second and took into consideration the number of FDs the sessions
would be willing to use, but most of the time we ended up waking up too
many of them for nothing, or deadlocking by lack of buffers.
This patch completely removes the need to allocate two buffers at once.
Instead it splits allocations into critical and non-critical ones and
implements a reserve in the pool for this. The deadlock situation happens
when all buffers are be allocated for requests pending in a maxconn-limited
server queue, because then there's no more way to allocate buffers for
responses, and these responses are critical to release the servers's
connection in order to release the pending requests. In fact maxconn on
a server creates a dependence between sessions and particularly between
oldest session's responses and latest session's requests. Thus, it is
mandatory to get a free buffer for a response in order to release a
server connection which will permit to release a request buffer.
Since we definitely have non-symmetrical buffers, we need to implement
this logic in the buffer allocation mechanism. What this commit does is
implement a reserve of buffers which can only be allocated for responses
and that will never be allocated for requests. This is made possible by
the requester indicating how much margin it wants to leave after the
allocation succeeds. Thus it is a cooperative allocation mechanism : the
requester (process_session() in general) prefers not to get a buffer in
order to respect other's need for response buffers. The session management
code always knows if a buffer will be used for requests or responses, so
that is not difficult :
- either there's an applet on the initiator side and we really need
the request buffer (since currently the applet is called in the
context of the session)
- or we have a connection and we really need the response buffer (in
order to support building and sending an error message back)
This reserve ensures that we don't take all allocatable buffers for
requests waiting in a queue. The downside is that all the extra buffers
are really allocated to ensure they can be allocated. But with small
values it is not an issue.
With this change, we don't observe any more deadlocks even when running
with maxconn 1 on a server under severely constrained memory conditions.
The code becomes a bit tricky, it relies on the scheduler's run queue to
estimate how many sessions are already expected to run so that it doesn't
wake up everyone with too few resources. A better solution would probably
consist in having two queues, one for urgent requests and one for normal
requests. A failed allocation for a session dealing with an error, a
connection event, or the need for a response (or request when there's an
applet on the left) would go to the urgent request queue, while other
requests would go to the other queue. Urgent requests would be served
from 1 entry in the pool, while the regular ones would be served only
according to the reserve. Despite not yet having this, it works
remarkably well.
This mechanism is quite efficient, we don't perform too many wake up calls
anymore. For 1 million sessions elapsed during massive memory contention,
we observe about 4.5M calls to process_session() compared to 4.0M without
memory constraints. Previously we used to observe up to 16M calls, which
rougly means 12M failures.
During a test run under high memory constraints (limit enforced to 27 MB
instead of the 58 MB normally needed), performance used to drop by 53% prior
to this patch. Now with this patch instead it *increases* by about 1.5%.
The best effect of this change is that by limiting the memory usage to about
2/3 to 3/4 of what is needed by default, it's possible to increase performance
by up to about 18% mainly due to the fact that pools are reused more often
and remain hot in the CPU cache (observed on regular HTTP traffic with 20k
objects, buffers.limit = maxconn/10, buffers.reserve = limit/2).
Below is an example of scenario which used to cause a deadlock previously :
- connection is received
- two buffers are allocated in process_session() then released
- one is allocated when receiving an HTTP request
- the second buffer is allocated then released in process_session()
for request parsing then connection establishment.
- poll() says we can send, so the request buffer is sent and released
- process session gets notified that the connection is now established
and allocates two buffers then releases them
- all other sessions do the same till one cannot get the request buffer
without hitting the margin
- and now the server responds. stream_interface allocates the response
buffer and manages to get it since it's higher priority being for a
response.
- but process_session() cannot allocate the request buffer anymore
=> We could end up with all buffers used by responses so that none may
be allocated for a request in process_session().
When the applet processing leaves the session context, the test will have
to be changed so that we always allocate a response buffer regardless of
the left side (eg: H2->H1 gateway). A final improvement would consists in
being able to only retry the failed I/O operation without waking up a
task, but to date all experiments to achieve this have proven not to be
reliable enough.
When a session_alloc_buffers() fails to allocate one or two buffers,
it subscribes the session to buffer_wq, and waits for another session
to release buffers. It's then removed from the queue and woken up with
TASK_WAKE_RES, and can attempt its allocation again.
We decide to try to wake as many waiters as we release buffers so
that if we release 2 and two waiters need only once, they both have
their chance. We must never come to the situation where we don't wake
enough tasks up.
It's common to release buffers after the completion of an I/O callback,
which can happen even if the I/O could not be performed due to half a
failure on memory allocation. In this situation, we don't want to move
out of the wait queue the session that was just added, otherwise it
will never get any buffer. Thus, we only force ourselves out of the
queue when freeing the session.
Note: at the moment, since session_alloc_buffers() is not used, no task
is subscribed to the wait queue.
This patch introduces session_alloc_recv_buffer(), session_alloc_buffers()
and session_release_buffers() whose purpose will be to allocate missing
buffers and release unneeded ones around the process_session() and during
I/O operations.
I/O callbacks only need a single buffer for recv operations and none
for send. However we still want to ensure that we don't pick the last
buffer. That's what session_alloc_recv_buffer() is for.
This allocator is atomic in that it always ensures we can get 2 buffers
or fails. Here, if any of the buffers is not ready and cannot be
allocated, the operation is cancelled. The purpose is to guarantee that
we don't enter into the deadlock where all buffers are allocated by the
same size of all sessions.
A queue will have to be implemented for failed allocations. For now
they're just reported as failures.
This function is used to allocate a buffer and ensure that we leave
some margin after it in the pool. The function is not obvious. While
we allocate only one buffer, we want to ensure that at least two remain
available after our allocation. The purpose is to ensure we'll never
enter a deadlock where all sessions allocate exactly one buffer, and
none of them will be able to allocate the second buffer needed to build
a response in order to release the first one.
We also take care of remaining fast in the the fast path by first
checking whether or not there is enough margin, in which case we only
rely on b_alloc_fast() which is guaranteed to succeed. Otherwise we
take the slow path using pool_refill_alloc().
This function allocates a buffer and replaces *buf with this buffer. If
no memory is available, &buf_wanted is used instead. No control is made
to check if *buf already pointed to another buffer. The allocated buffer
is returned, or NULL in case no memory is available. The difference with
b_alloc() is that this function only picks from the pool and never calls
malloc(), so it can fail even if some memory is available. It is the
caller's job to refill the buffer pool if needed.
Till now we'd consider a buffer full even if it had size==0 due to pointing
to buf.size. Now we change this : if buf_wanted is present, it means that we
have already tried to allocate a buffer but failed. Thus the buffer must be
considered full so that we stop trying to poll for reads on it. Otherwise if
it's empty, it's buf_empty and we report !full since we may allocate it on
the fly.
Doing so ensures that even when no memory is available, we leave the
channel in a sane condition. There's a special case in proto_http.c
regarding the compression, we simply pre-allocate the tmpbuf to point
to the dummy buffer. Not reusing &buf_empty for this allows the rest
of the code to differenciate an empty buffer that's not used from an
empty buffer that results from a failed allocation which has the same
semantics as a buffer full.
Channels are now created with a valid pointer to a buffer before the
buffer is allocated. This buffer is a global one called "buf_empty" and
of size zero. Thus it prevents any activity from being performed on
the buffer and still ensures that chn->buf may always be dereferenced.
b_free() also resets the buffer to &buf_empty, and was split into
b_drop() which does not reset the buffer.
We don't call pool_free2(pool2_buffers) anymore, we only call b_free()
to do the job. This ensures that we can start to centralize the releasing
of buffers.
b_alloc() now allocates a buffer and initializes it to the size specified
in the pool minus the size of the struct buffer itself. This ensures that
callers do not need to care about buffer details anymore. Also this never
applies memory poisonning, which is slow and useless on buffers.
We'll soon need to be able to switch buffers without touching the
channel, so let's move buffer initialization out of channel_init().
We had the same in compressoin.c.
Till now this function would only allocate one entry at a time. But with
dynamic buffers we'll like to allocate the number of missing entries to
properly refill the pool.
Let's modify it to take a minimum amount of available entries. This means
that when we know we need at least a number of available entries, we can
ask to allocate all of them at once. It also ensures that we don't move
the pointers back and forth between the caller and the pool, and that we
don't call pool_gc2() for each failed malloc. Instead, it's called only
once and the malloc is only allowed to fail once.
pool_alloc2() used to pick the entry from the pool, fall back to
pool_refill_alloc(), and to perform the poisonning itself, which
pool_refill_alloc() was also doing. While this led to optimal
code size, it imposes memory poisonning on the buffers as well,
which is extremely slow on large buffers.
This patch cuts the allocator in 3 layers :
- a layer to pick the first entry from the pool without falling back to
pool_refill_alloc() : pool_get_first()
- a layer to allocate a dirty area by falling back to pool_refill_alloc()
but never performing the poisonning : pool_alloc_dirty()
- pool_alloc2() which calls the latter and optionally poisons the area
No functional changes were made.
Remove the code dealing with the old dual-linked lists imported from
librt that has remained unused for the last 8 years. Now everything
uses the linux-like circular lists instead.
Since commit 656c5fa7e8 ("BUILD: ssl: disable OCSP when using
boringssl) the OCSP code is bypassed when OPENSSL_IS_BORINGSSL
is defined. The correct thing to do here is to use OPENSSL_NO_OCSP
instead, which is defined for this exact purpose in
openssl/opensslfeatures.h.
This makes haproxy forward compatible if boringssl ever introduces
full OCSP support with the additional benefit that it links fine
against a OCSP-disabled openssl.

Till now, when memory poisonning was enabled, it used to be done only
after a calloc(). But sometimes it's not enough to detect unexpected
sharing, so let's ensure that we now poison every allocation once it's
in place. Note that enabling poisonning significantly hurts performance
(it can typically half the overall performance).
A memory optimization can use the same pattern expression for many
equal pattern list (same parse method, index method and index_smp
method).
The pattern expression is returned by "pattern_new_expr", but this
function dont indicate if the returned pattern is already in use.
So, the caller function reload the list of patterns in addition with
the existing patterns. This behavior is not a problem with tree indexed
pattern, but it grows the lists indexed patterns.
This fix add a "reuse" flag in return of the function "pattern_new_expr".
If the flag is set, I suppose that the patterns are already loaded.
This fix must be backported into 1.5.
In order for HTTP/2 not to eat too much memory, we'll have to support
on-the-fly buffer allocation, since most streams will have an empty
request buffer at some point. Supporting allocation on the fly means
being able to sleep inside I/O callbacks if a buffer is not available.
Till now, the I/O callbacks were called from two locations :
- when processing the cached events
- when processing the polled events from the poller
This change cleans up the design a bit further than what was started in
1.5. It now ensures that we never call any iocb from the poller itself
and that instead, events learned by the poller are put into the cache.
The benefit is important in terms of stability : we don't have to care
anymore about the risk that new events are added into the poller while
processing its events, and we're certain that updates are processed at
a single location.
To achieve this, we now modify all the fd_* functions so that instead of
creating updates, they add/remove the fd to/from the cache depending on
its state, and only create an update when the polling status reaches a
state where it will have to change. Since the pollers make use of these
functions to notify readiness (using fd_may_recv/fd_may_send), the cache
is always up to date with the poller.
Creating updates only when the polling status needs to change saves a
significant amount of work for the pollers : a benchmark showed that on
a typical TCP proxy test, the amount of updates per connection dropped
from 11 to 1 on average. This also means that the update list is smaller
and has more chances of not thrashing too many CPU cache lines. The first
observed benefit is a net 2% performance gain on the connection rate.
A second benefit is that when a connection is accepted, it's only when
we're processing the cache, and the recv event is automatically added
into the cache *after* the current one, resulting in this event to be
processed immediately during the same loop. Previously we used to have
a second run over the updates to detect if new events were added to
catch them before waking up tasks.
The next gain will be offered by the next steps on this subject consisting
in implementing an I/O queue containing all cached events ordered by priority
just like the run queue, and to be able to leave some events pending there
as long as needed. That will allow us *not* to perform some FD processing
if it's not the proper time for this (typically keep waiting for a buffer
to be allocated if none is available for an recv()). And by only processing
a small bunch of them, we'll allow priorities to take place even at the I/O
level.
As a result of this change, functions fd_alloc_or_release_cache_entry()
and fd_process_polled_events() have disappeared, and the code dedicated
to checking for new fd events after the callback during the poll() loop
was removed as well. Despite the patch looking large, it's mostly a
change of what function is falled upon fd_*() and almost nothing was
added.
This patch makes it possible to create binds and servers in separate
namespaces. This can be used to proxy between multiple completely independent
virtual networks (with possibly overlapping IP addresses) and a
non-namespace-aware proxy implementation that supports the proxy protocol (v2).
The setup is something like this:
net1 on VLAN 1 (namespace 1) -\
net2 on VLAN 2 (namespace 2) -- haproxy ==== proxy (namespace 0)
net3 on VLAN 3 (namespace 3) -/
The proxy is configured to make server connections through haproxy and sending
the expected source/target addresses to haproxy using the proxy protocol.
The network namespace setup on the haproxy node is something like this:
= 8< =
$ cat setup.sh
ip netns add 1
ip link add link eth1 type vlan id 1
ip link set eth1.1 netns 1
ip netns exec 1 ip addr add 192.168.91.2/24 dev eth1.1
ip netns exec 1 ip link set eth1.$id up
...
= 8< =
= 8< =
$ cat haproxy.cfg
frontend clients
bind 127.0.0.1:50022 namespace 1 transparent
default_backend scb
backend server
mode tcp
server server1 192.168.122.4:2222 namespace 2 send-proxy-v2
= 8< =
A bind line creates the listener in the specified namespace, and connections
originating from that listener also have their network namespace set to
that of the listener.
A server line either forces the connection to be made in a specified
namespace or may use the namespace from the client-side connection if that
was set.

itself.

Lasse Birnbaum Jensen reported an issue when agent checks are used at the same
time as standard healthchecks when SSL is enabled on the server side.
The symptom is that agent checks try to communicate in SSL while it should
manage raw data. This happens because the transport layer is shared between all
kind of checks.
To fix the issue, the transport layer is now stored in each check type,
allowing to use SSL healthchecks when required, while an agent check should
always use the raw_sock implementation.
The fix must be backported to 1.5.
When we're stopping, we're not going to create new tasks anymore, so
let's release the task pool upon each task_free() in order to reduce
memory fragmentation.
Adds global statements 'ssl-default-server-options' and
'ssl-default-bind-options' to force on 'server' and 'bind' lines
some ssl options.
Currently available options are 'no-sslv3', 'no-tlsv10', 'no-tlsv11',
'no-tlsv12', 'force-sslv3', 'force-tlsv10', 'force-tlsv11',
'force-tlsv12', and 'no-tls-tickets'.
Example:
global

ssl-default-bind-options no-sslv3
This converter escapes string to use it as json/ascii escaped string.
It can read UTF-8 with differents behavior on errors and encode it in
json/ascii.
json([<input-code>])
Escapes the input string and produces an ASCII ouput string ready to use as a
JSON string. The converter tries to decode the input string according to the
<input-code> parameter. It can be "ascii", "utf8", "utf8s", "utf8"" or
"utf8ps". The "ascii" decoder never fails. The "utf8" decoder detects 3 types
of errors:
- bad UTF-8 sequence (lone continuation byte, bad number of continuation
bytes, ...)
- invalid range (the decoded value is within a UTF-8 prohibited range),
- code overlong (the value is encoded with more bytes than necessary).
The UTF-8 JSON encoding can produce a "too long value" error when the UTF-8
character is greater than 0xffff because the JSON string escape specification
only authorizes 4 hex digits for the value encoding. The UTF-8 decoder exists
in 4 variants designated by a combination of two suffix letters : "p" for
"permissive" and "s" for "silently ignore". The behaviors of the decoders
are :
- "ascii" : never fails ;
- "utf8" : fails on any detected errors ;
- "utf8s" : never fails, but removes characters corresponding to errors ;
- "utf8p" : accepts and fixes the overlong errors, but fails on any other
error ;
- "utf8ps" : never fails, accepts and fixes the overlong errors, but removes
characters corresponding to the other errors.
This converter is particularly useful for building properly escaped JSON for
logging to servers which consume JSON-formated traffic logs.
Example:
capture request header user-agent len 150
capture request header Host len 15
log-format {"ip":"%[src]","user-agent":"%[capture.req.hdr(1),json]"}
Input request from client 127.0.0.1:

Commit 179085c ("MEDIUM: http: move Connection header processing earlier")
introduced a regression : the backend's HTTP mode is not considered anymore
when setting the session's HTTP mode, because wait_for_request() is only
called once, when the frontend receives the request (or when the frontend
is in TCP mode, when the backend receives the request).
The net effect is that in some situations when the frontend and the backend
do not work in the same mode (eg: keep-alive vs close), the backend's mode
is ignored.
This patch moves all that processing to a dedicated function, which is
called from the original place, as well as from session_set_backend()
when switching from an HTTP frontend to an HTTP backend in different
modes.
This fix must be backported to 1.5.
A config where a tcp-request rule appears after an http-request rule
might seem valid but it is not. So let's report a warning about this
since this case is hard to detect by the naked eye.
Commit bb2e669 ("BUG/MAJOR: http: correctly rewind the request body
after start of forwarding") was incorrect/incomplete. It used to rely on
CF_READ_ATTACHED to stop updating msg->sov once data start to leave the
buffer, but this is unreliable because since commit a6eebb3 ("[BUG]
session: clear BF_READ_ATTACHED before next I/O") merged in 1.5-dev1,
this flag is only ephemeral and is cleared once all analysers have
seen it. So we can start updating msg->sov again each time we pass
through this place with new data. With a sufficiently large amount of
data, it is possible to make msg->sov wrap and validate the if()
condition at the top, causing the buffer to advance by about 2GB and
crash the process.
Note that the offset cannot be controlled by the attacker because it is
a sum of millions of small random sizes depending on how many bytes were
read by the server and how many were left in the buffer, only because
of the speed difference between reading and writing. Also, nothing is
written, the invalid pointer resulting from this operation is only read.
Many thanks to James Dempsey for reporting this bug and to Chris Forbes for
narrowing down the faulty area enough to make its root cause analysable.
This fix must be backported to haproxy 1.5.
Sometimes it would be convenient to have a log counter so that from a log
server we know whether some logs were lost or not. The frontend's log counter
serves exactly this purpose. It's incremented each time a traffic log is
produced. If a log is disabled using "http-request set-log-level silent",
the counter will not be incremented. However, admin logs are not accounted
for. Also, if logs are filtered out before being sent to the server because
of a minimum level set on the log line, the counter will be increased anyway.
The counter is 32-bit, so it will wrap, but that's not an issue considering
that 4 billion logs are rarely in the same file, let alone close to each
other.
Just by moving a few struct members around, we can avoid 32-bit holes
between 64-bit pointers and shrink the struct size by 48 bytes. That's
not huge but that's for free, so let's do it.
There are two sample commands to get information about the presence of a
client certificate.
ssl_fc_has_crt is true if there is a certificate present in the current
connection
ssl_c_used is true if there is a certificate present in the session.
If a session has stopped and resumed, then ssl_c_used could be true, while
ssl_fc_has_crt is false.
In the client byte of the TLS TLV of Proxy Protocol V2, there is only one
bit to indicate whether a certificate is present on the connection. The
attached patch adds a second bit to indicate the presence for the session.
This maintains backward compatibility.
[wt: this should be backported to 1.5 to help maintain compatibility
between versions]
Google's boringssl doesn't currently support OCSP, so
disable it if detected.
OCSP support may be reintroduced as per:

Add support for http-request track-sc, similar to what is done in
tcp-request for backends. A new act_prm field was added to HTTP
request rules to store the track params (table, counter). Just
like for TCP rules, the table is resolved while checking for
config validity. The code was mostly copied from the TCP code
with the exception that here we also count the HTTP request count
and rate by hand. Probably that something could be factored out in
the future.
It seems like tracking flags should be improved to mark each hook
which tracks a key so that we can have some check points where to
increase counters of the past if not done yet, a bit like is done
for TRACK_BACKEND.
Some users want to add their own data types to stick tables. We don't
want to use a linked list here for performance reasons, so we need to
continue to use an indexed array. This patch allows one to reserve a
compile-time-defined number of extra data types by setting the new
macro STKTABLE_EXTRA_DATA_TYPES to anything greater than zero, keeping
in mind that anything larger will slightly inflate the memory consumed
by stick tables (not per entry though).
Then calling stktable_register_data_store() with the new keyword will
either register a new keyword or fail if the desired entry was already
taken or the keyword already registered.
Note that this patch does not dictate how the data will be used, it only
offers the possibility to create new keywords and have an index to
reference them in the config and in the tables. The caller will not be
able to use stktable_data_cast() and will have to explicitly cast the
stable pointers to the expected types. It can be used for experimentation
as well.
Daniel Dubovik reported an interesting bug showing that the request body
processing was still not 100% fixed. If a POST request contained short
enough data to be forwarded at once before trying to establish the
connection to the server, we had no way to correctly rewind the body.
The first visible case is that balancing on a header does not always work
on such POST requests since the header cannot be found. But there are even
nastier implications which are that http-send-name-header would apply to
the wrong location and possibly even affect part of the request's body
due to an incorrect rewinding.
There are two options to fix the problem :
- first one is to force the HTTP_MSG_F_WAIT_CONN flag on all hash-based
balancing algorithms and http-send-name-header, but there's always a
risk that any new algorithm forgets to set it ;
- the second option is to account for the amount of skipped data before
the connection establishes so that we always know the position of the
request's body relative to the buffer's origin.
The second option is much more reliable and fits very well in the spirit
of the past changes to fix forwarding. Indeed, at the moment we have
msg->sov which points to the start of the body before headers are forwarded
and which equals zero afterwards (so it still points to the start of the
body before forwarding data). A minor change consists in always making it
point to the start of the body even after data have been forwarded. It means
that it can get a negative value (so we need to change its type to signed)..
In order to avoid wrapping, we only do this as long as the other side of
the buffer is not connected yet.
Doing this definitely fixes the issues above for the requests. Since the
response cannot be rewound we don't need to perform any change there.
This bug was introduced/remained unfixed in 1.5-dev23 so the fix must be
backported to 1.5.
Currently we have stktable_fetch_key() which fetches a sample according
to an expression and returns a stick table key, but we also need a function
which does only the second half of it from a known sample. So let's cut the
function in two and introduce smp_to_stkey() to perform this lookup. The
first function was adapted to make use of it in order to avoid code
duplication.
When we were generating a hash, it was done using an unsigned long. When the hash was used
to select a backend, it was sent as an unsigned int. This made it difficult to predict which
backend would be selected.
This patch updates get_hash, and the hash methods to use an unsigned int, to remain consistent
throughout the codebase.
This fix should be backported to 1.5 and probably in part to 1.4.
Abstract namespace sockets ignore the shutdown() call and do not make
it possible to temporarily stop listening. The issue it causes is that
during a soft reload, the new process cannot bind, complaining that the
address is already in use.
This change registers a new pause() function for unix sockets and
completely unbinds the abstract ones since it's possible to rebind
them later. It requires the two previous patches as well as preceeding
fixes.
This fix should be backported into 1.5 since the issue apperas there.
In order to fix the abstact socket pause mechanism during soft restarts,
we'll need to proceed differently depending on the socket protocol. The
pause_listener() function already supports some protocol-specific handling
for the TCP case.
This commit makes this cleaner by adding a new ->pause() function to the
protocol struct, which, if defined, may be used to pause a listener of a
given protocol.
For now, only TCP has been adapted, with the specific code moved from
pause_listener() to tcp_pause_listener().
With all the goodies supported by logformat, people find that the limit
of 1024 chars for log lines is too short. Some servers do not support
larger lines and can simply drop them, so changing the default value is
not always the best choice.
This patch takes a different approach. Log line length is specified per
log server on the "log" line, with a value between 80 and 65535. That
way it's possibly to satisfy all needs, even with some fat local servers
and small remote ones.
This value was set in log.h without any #ifndef around, so when one
wanted to change it, a patch was needed. Let's move it to defaults.h
with the usual #ifndef so that it's easier to change it.
stktable_fetch_key() does not indicate whether it returns NULL because
the input sample was not found or because it's unstable. It causes trouble
with track-sc* rules. Just like with sample_fetch_string(), we want it to
be able to give more information to the caller about what it found. Thus,
now we use the pointer to a sample passed by the caller, and fill it with
the information we have about the sample. That way, even if we return NULL,
the caller has the ability to check whether a sample was found and if it is
still changing or not.
'ssl_sock_get_common_name' applied to a connection was also renamed
'ssl_sock_get_remote_common_name'. Currently, this function is only used
with protocol PROXYv2 to retrieve the client certificate's common name.
A further usage could be to retrieve the server certificate's common name
on an outgoing connection.
The support is all based on static responses. This doesn't add any
request / response logic to HAProxy, but allows a way to update
information through the socket interface.
Currently certificates specified using "crt" or "crt-list" on "bind" lines
are loaded as PEM files.
For each PEM file, haproxy checks for the presence of file at the same path
suffixed by ".ocsp". If such file is found, support for the TLS Certificate
Status Request extension (also known as "OCSP stapling") is automatically
enabled. The content of this file is optional. If not empty, it must contain
a valid OCSP Response in DER format. In order to be valid an OCSP Response
must comply with the following rules: it has to indicate a good status,
it has to be a single response for the certificate of the PEM file, and it
has to be valid at the moment of addition. If these rules are not respected
the OCSP Response is ignored and a warning is emitted. In order to identify
which certificate an OCSP Response applies to, the issuer's certificate is
necessary. If the issuer's certificate is not found in the PEM file, it will
be loaded from a file at the same path as the PEM file suffixed by ".issuer"
if it exists otherwise it will fail with an error.
It is possible to update an OCSP Response from the unix socket using:
set ssl ocsp-response <response>
This command is used to update an OCSP Response for a certificate (see "crt"
on "bind" lines). Same controls are performed as during the initial loading of
the response. The <response> must be passed as a base64 encoded string of the
DER encoded response from the OCSP server.
Example:
openssl ocsp -issuer issuer.pem -cert server.pem \
-host ocsp.issuer.com:80 -respout resp.der
echo "set ssl ocsp-response $(base64 -w 10000 resp.der)" | \
socat stdio /var/run/haproxy.stat
This feature is automatically enabled on openssl 0.9.8h and above.
This work was performed jointly by Dirkjan Bussink of GitHub and
Emeric Brun of HAProxy Technologies.
The pcreposix layer (in the pcre projetc) execute strlen to find
thlength of the string. When we are using the function "regex_exex*2",
the length is used to add a final \0, when pcreposix is executed a
strlen is executed to compute the length.
If we are using a native PCRE api, the length is provided as an
argument, and these operations disappear.
This is useful because PCRE regex are more used than POSIC regex.
This patch remove all references of standard regex in haproxy. The last
remaining references are only in the regex.[ch] files.
In the file src/checks.c, the original function uses a "pmatch" array.
In fact this array is unused. This patch remove it.
This patchs rename the "regex_exec" to "regex_exec2". It add a new
"regex_exec", "regex_exec_match" and "regex_exec_match2" function. This
function can match regex and return array containing matching parts.
Otherwise, this function use the compiled method (JIT or PCRE or POSIX).
JIT require a subject with length. PCREPOSIX and native POSIX regex
require a null terminted subject. The regex_exec* function are splited
in two version. The first version take a null terminated string, but it
execute strlen() on the subject if it is compiled with JIT. The second
version (terminated by "2") take the subject and the length. This
version adds a null character in the subject if it is compiled with
PCREPOSIX or native POSIX functions.
The documentation of posix regex and pcreposix says that the function
returns 0 if the string matche otherwise it returns REG_NOMATCH. The
REG_NOMATCH macro take the value 1 with posix regex and the value 17
with the pcreposix. The documentaion of the native pcre API (used with
JIT) returns a negative number if no match, otherwise, it returns 0 or a
positive number.
This patch fix also the return codes of the regex_exec* functions. Now,
these function returns true if the string match, otherwise it returns
false.
This patch adds two new actions to http-request and http-response rulesets :
- replace-header : replace a whole header line, suited for headers
which might contain commas
- replace-value : replace a single header value, suited for headers
defined as lists.
The match consists in a regex, and the replacement string takes a log-format
and supports back-references.
Using the last rate counters, we now compute the queue, connect, response
and total times per server and per backend with a 95% accuracy over the last
1024 samples. The operation is cheap so we don't need to condition it.
While the current functions report average event counts per period, we are
also interested in average values per event. For this we use a different
method. The principle is to rely on a long tail which sums the new value
with a fraction of the previous value, resulting in a sliding window of
infinite length depending on the precision we're interested in.
The idea is that we always keep (N-1)/N of the sum and add the new sampled
value. The sum over N values can be computed with a simple program for a
constant value 1 at each iteration :
N
,---
\ N - 1 e - 1
> ( --------- )^x ~= N * -----
/ N e
'---
x = 1
Note: I'm not sure how to demonstrate this but at least this is easily
verified with a simple program, the sum equals N * 0.632120 for any N
moderately large (tens to hundreds).
Inserting a constant sample value V here simply results in :
sum = V * N * (e - 1) / e
But we don't want to integrate over a small period, but infinitely. Let's
cut the infinity in P periods of N values. Each period M is exactly the same
as period M-1 with a factor of ((N-1)/N)^N applied. A test shows that given a
large N :
N - 1 1
( ------- )^N ~= ---
N e
Our sum is now a sum of each factor times :
N*P P
,--- ,---
\ N - 1 e - 1 \ 1
> v ( --------- )^x ~= VN * ----- * > ---
/ N e / e^x
'--- '---
x = 1 x = 0
For P "large enough", in tests we get this :
P
,---
\ 1 e
> --- ~= -----
/ e^x e - 1
'---
x = 0
This simplifies the sum above :
N*P
,---
\ N - 1
> v ( --------- )^x = VN
/ N
'---
x = 1
So basically by summing values and applying the last result an (N-1)/N factor
we just get N times the values over the long term, so we can recover the
constant value V by dividing by N.
A value added at the entry of the sliding window of N values will thus be
reduced to 1/e or 36.7% after N terms have been added. After a second batch,
it will only be 1/e^2, or 13.5%, and so on. So practically speaking, each
old period of N values represents only a quickly fading ratio of the global
sum :
period ratio
1 36.7%
2 13.5%
3 4.98%
4 1.83%
5 0.67%
6 0.25%
7 0.09%
8 0.033%
9 0.012%
10 0.0045%
So after 10N samples, the initial value has already faded out by a factor of
22026, which is quite fast. If the sliding window is 1024 samples wide, it
means that a sample will only count for 1/22k of its initial value after 10k
samples went after it, which results in half of the value it would represent
using an arithmetic mean. The benefit of this method is that it's very cheap
in terms of computations when N is a power of two. This is very well suited
to record response times as large values will fade out faster than with an
arithmetic mean and will depend on sample count and not time.
Demonstrating all the above assumptions with maths instead of a program is
left as an exercise for the reader.
qstr() and cstr() will be used to quote-encode strings. The first one
does it unconditionally. The second one is aimed at CSV files where the
quote-encoding is only needed when the field contains a quote or a comma.
This helper is similar to addr_to_str but
tries to convert the port rather than the address
of a struct sockaddr_storage.
This is in preparation for supporting
an external agent check.

This is in order to simplify the PPv2 header parsing code to look more
like the one provided as an example in the spec. No code change was
performed beyond just merging the proxy_addr union into the proxy_hdr_v2
struct.
This patch adds support for captures with no header name. The purpose
is to allow extra captures to be defined and logged along with the
header captures.
When no static DH parameters are specified, this patch makes haproxy

of 1024, 2048, 4096 or 8192 bits for DHE key exchange. The size of the
temporary/ephemeral DH key is computed as the minimum of the RSA/DSA server
key size and the value of a new option named tune.ssl.default-dh-param.

One important aspect of SSL performance tuning is the cache size,
but there's no metric to know whether it's large enough or not. This
commit introduces two counters, one for the cache lookups and another
one for cache misses. These counters are reported on "show info" on
the stats socket. This way, it suffices to see the cache misses
counter constantly grow to know that a larger cache could possibly
help.
It's commonly needed to know how many SSL asymmetric keys are computed
per second on either side (frontend or backend), and to know the SSL
session reuse ratio. Now we compute these values and report them in
"show info".
Currently exp_replace() (which is used in reqrep/reqirep) is

Str was being checked only in in while (str) and it was possible to
read past that when more than one character was being accessed in the

WT:
Note that this bug is only marked MEDIUM because configurations
capable of triggering this bug are very unlikely to exist at all due
to the fact that most rewrites consist in static string additions
that largely fit into the reserved area (8kB by default).
This fix should also be backported to 1.4 and possibly even 1.3 since
it seems to have been present since 1.1 or so.

Agent will have the ability to return a weight without indicating an
up/down status. Currently this is not possible, so let's add a 5th
result CHK_RES_NEUTRAL for this purpose. It has been mapped to the
unused HCHK_STATUS_CHECKED which already serves as a neutral delimitor
between initiated checks and those returning a result.
Instead of enabling/disabling maintenance mode and drain mode separately
using 4 actions, we now offer 3 simplified actions :
- set state to READY
- set state to DRAIN
- set state to MAINT
They have the benefit of reporting the same state as displayed on the page,
and of doing the double-switch atomically eg when switching from drain to
maint.
Note that the old actions are still supported for users running scripts.
This patch adds support for a new "drain" mode. So now we have 3 admin
modes for a server :
- READY
- DRAIN
- MAINT
The drain mode disables load balancing but leaves the server up. It can
coexist with maint, except that maint has precedence. It is also inherited
from tracked servers, so just like maint, it's represented with 2 bits.
New functions were designed to set/clear each flag and to propagate the
changes to tracking servers when relevant, and to log the changes. Existing
functions srv_set_adm_maint() and srv_set_adm_ready() were replaced to make
use of the new functions.
Currently the drain mode is not yet used, however the whole logic was tested
with all combinations of set/clear of both flags in various orders to catch
all corner cases.
This function was taken from check_set_server_drain(). It does not
consider health checks at all and only sets a server to stopping
provided it's not in maintenance and is not currently stopped. The
resulting state will be STOPPING. The state change is propagated
to tracked servers.
For now the function is not used, but the goal is to split health
checks status from server status and to be able to change a server's
state regardless of health checks statuses.
This function was taken from check_set_server_up(). It does not consider
health checks at all and only sets a server up provided it's not in
maintenance. The resulting state may be either RUNNING or STARTING
depending on the presence of a slowstart or not. The state change is
propagated to tracked servers.
For now the function is not used, but the goal is to split health
checks status from server status and to be able to change a server's
state regardless of health checks statuses.
This function was extracted from check_set_server_down(). In only
manipulates the server state and does not consider the health checks
at all, nor does it modify their status. It takes a reason message to
report in logs, however it passes NULL when recursing through the
trackers chain.
For now the function is not used, but the goal is to split health
checks status from server status and to be able to change a server's
state regardless of health checks statuses.
srv_adm_append_status() was renamed srv_append_status() since it's no
more dedicated to maintenance mode. It now supports a reason which if
not null is appended to the output string.
We don't have to handle the maintenance transition here anymore so we
can simplify the functions and conditions. This also means that we don't
need the disable/enable functions but only a function to switch to each
new state.
It's worth mentionning that at this stage there are still confusions
between the server state and the checks states. For example, the health
check's state is adjusted from tracked servers changing state, while it
should not be.
This change now involves a new flag SRV_ADMF_IMAINT to note that the
maintenance status of a server is inherited from another server. Thus,
we know at each server level in the chain if it's running, in forced
maintenance or in a maintenance status because it tracks another server,
or even in both states.
Disabling a server propagates this flag down to other servers. Enabling
a server flushes the flag down. A server becomes up again once both of
its flags are cleared.
Two new functions "srv_adm_set_maint()" and "srv_adm_set_ready()" are used to
manipulate this maintenance status. They're used by the CLI and the stats
page.
Now the stats page always says "MAINT" instead of "MAINT(via)" and it's
only the chk/down field which reports "via x/y" when the status is
inherited from another server, but it doesn't say it when a server was
forced into maintenance. The CSV output indicates "MAINT (via x/y)"
instead of only "MAINT(via)". This is the most accurate representation.
One important thing is that now entering/leaving maintenance for a
tracking server correctly follows the state of the tracked server.
Checks.c has become a total mess. A number of proxy or server maintenance
and queue management functions were put there probably because they were
used there, but that makes the code untouchable. And that's without saying
that their names does not always relate to what they really do!
So let's do a first pass by moving these ones :
- set_backend_down() => backend.c
- redistribute_pending() => queue.c:pendconn_redistribute()
- check_for_pending() => queue.c:pendconn_grab_from_px()
- shutdown_sessions => server.c:srv_shutdown_sessions()
- shutdown_backup_sessions => server.c:srv_shutdown_backup_sessions()
All of them were moved at once.
Servers used to have 3 flags to store a state, now they have 4 states
instead. This avoids lots of confusion for the 4 remaining undefined
states.
The encoding from the previous to the new states can be represented
this way :
SRV_STF_RUNNING
| SRV_STF_GOINGDOWN
| | SRV_STF_WARMINGUP
| | |
0 x x SRV_ST_STOPPED
1 0 0 SRV_ST_RUNNING
1 0 1 SRV_ST_STARTING
1 1 x SRV_ST_STOPPING
Note that the case where all bits were set used to exist and was randomly
dealt with. For example, the task was not stopped, the throttle value was
still updated and reported in the stats and in the http_server_state header.
It was the same if the server was stopped by the agent or for maintenance.
It's worth noting that the internal function names are still quite confusing.
Now we introduce srv->admin and srv->prev_admin which are bitfields
containing one bit per source of administrative status (maintenance only
for now). For the sake of backwards compatibility we implement a single
source (ADMF_FMAINT) but the code already checks any source (ADMF_MAINT)
where the STF_MAINTAIN bit was previously checked. This will later allow
us to add ADMF_IMAINT for maintenance mode inherited from tracked servers.
Along doing these changes, it appeared that some places will need to be
revisited when implementing the inherited bit, this concerns all those
modifying the ADMF_FMAINT bit (enable/disable actions on the CLI or stats
page), and the checks to report "via" on the stats page. But currently
the code is harmless.
Till now, the server's state and flags were all saved as a single bit
field. It causes some difficulties because we'd like to have an enum
for the state and separate flags.
This commit starts by splitting them in two distinct fields. The first
one is srv->state (with its counter-part srv->prev_state) which are now
enums, but which still contain bits (SRV_STF_*).
The flags now lie in their own field (srv->flags).
The function srv_is_usable() was updated to use the enum as input, since
it already used to deal only with the state.
Note that currently, the maintenance mode is still in the state for
simplicity, but it must move as well.
When run in daemon mode (i.e. with at least one forked process) and using
the epoll poller, sending USR1 (graceful shutdown) to the worker processes
can cause some workers to start running at 100% CPU. Precondition is having
an established HTTP keep-alive connection when the signal is received.
The cloned (during fork) listening sockets do not get closed in the parent
process, thus they do not get removed from the epoll set automatically
(see man 7 epoll). This can lead to the process receiving epoll events
that it doesn't feel responsible for, resulting in an endless loop around
epoll_wait() delivering these events.
The solution is to explicitly remove these file descriptors from the epoll
set. To not degrade performance, care was taken to only do this when
neccessary, i.e. when the file descriptor was cloned during fork.

[wt: a backport to 1.4 could be studied though chances to catch the bug are low]
We used to call srv_is_usable() with either the current state and weights
or the previous ones. This causes trouble for future changes, so let's first
split it in two variants :
- srv_is_usable(srv) considers the current status
- srv_was_usable(srv) considers the previous status
Detecting that a server's status has changed is a bit messy, as well
as it is to commit the status changes. We'll have to add new conditions
soon and we'd better avoid to multiply the number of touched locations
with the high risk of forgetting them.
This commit introduces :
- srv_lb_status_changed() to report if the status changed from the
previously committed one ;
- svr_lb_commit_status() to commit the current status
The function is now used by all load-balancing algorithms.
This flag is only a copy of (srv->uweight == 0), so better get rid of
it to reduce some of the confusion that remains in the code, and use
a simple function to return this state based on this weight instead.
Long-lived sessions are often subject to half-closed sessions resulting in
a lot of sessions appearing in FIN_WAIT state in the system tables, and no
way for haproxy to get rid of them. This typically happens because clients
suddenly disconnect without sending any packet (eg: FIN or RST was lost in
the path), and while the server detects this using an applicative heart
beat, haproxy does not close the connection.
This patch adds two new timeouts : "timeout client-fin" and
"timeout server-fin". The former allows one to override the client-facing
timeout when a FIN has been received or sent. The latter does the same for
server-facing connections, which is less useful.
git.1wt.eu is painfully slow and some people experience issues with
it. Better hide it and only advertise git.haproxy.org which is mirrored
on a faster server.
Also replace haproxy.1wt.eu with www.haproxy.org in the download URL
which appears in the stats page.
Being able to map prefixes to values is already used for IPv4/IPv6
but was not yet used with strings. It can be very convenient to map
directories to server farms but large lists may be slow.
By using ebmb_insert_prefix() and ebmb_lookup_longest(), we can
insert strings with their own length as a prefix, and lookup
candidate strings and ensure that the longest matching one will
be returned, which is the longest string matching the entry.
The is_addr() function indicates if an address is set and is an IPv4
or IPv6 address. Let's rename it is_inet_addr() and make is_addr()
also accept AF_UNIX addresses.
Some consistency checks cannot be performed between frontends, backends
and peers at the moment because there is no way to check for intersection
between processes bound to some processes when the number of processes is
higher than the number of bits in a word.
So first, let's limit the number of processes to the machine's word size.
This means nbproc will be limited to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on 64-bit
machines. This is far more than enough considering that configs rarely go
above 16 processes due to scalability and management issues, so 32 or 64
should be fine.
This way we'll ensure we can always build a mask of all the processes a
section is bound to.
This commit modifies the PROXY protocol V2 specification to support headers
longer than 255 bytes allowing for optional extensions. It implements the
PROXY protocol V2 which is a binary representation of V1. This will make
parsing more efficient for clients who will know in advance exactly how
many bytes to read. Also, it defines and implements some optional PROXY
protocol V2 extensions to send information about downstream SSL/TLS
connections. Support for PROXY protocol V1 remains unchanged.
Process shared mutex seems not supported on some OSs (FreeBSD).
This patch checks errors on mutex lock init to fallback
on a private session cache (per process cache) in error cases.
Trying to build with an old gcc and glibc revealed that we must not
state "inline" in our _syscall* definitions since it's already present
in the declaration making use of the _syscall* macros.
On the mailing list, seri0528@naver.com reported an issue when
using balance url_param or balance uri. The request would sometimes
stall forever.
Cyril Bont managed to reproduce it with the configuration below :
listen test :80
mode http
balance url_param q
hash-type consistent
server s demo.1wt.eu:80
and found it appeared with this commit : 80a92c0 ("BUG/MEDIUM: http:
don't start to forward request data before the connect").
The bug is subtle but real. The problem is that the HTTP request
forwarding analyzer refrains from starting to parse the request
body when some LB algorithms might need the body contents, in order
to preserve the data pointer and avoid moving things around during
analysis in case a redispatch is later needed. And in order to detect
that the connection establishes, it watches the response channel's
CF_READ_ATTACHED flag.
The problem is that a request analyzer is not subscribed to a response
channel, so it will only see changes when woken for other (generally
correlated) reasons, such as the fact that part of the request could
be sent. And since the CF_READ_ATTACHED flag is cleared once leaving
process_session(), it is important not to miss it. It simply happens
that sometimes the server starts to respond in a sequence that validates
the connection in the middle of process_session(), that it is detected
after the analysers, and that the newly assigned CF_READ_ATTACHED is
not used to detect that the request analysers need to be called again,
then the flag is lost.
The CF_WAKE_WRITE flag doesn't work either because it's cleared upon
entry into process_session(), ie if we spend more than one call not
connecting.
Thus we need a new flag to tell the connection initiator that we are
specifically interested in being notified about connection establishment.
This new flag is CF_WAKE_CONNECT. It is set by the requester, and is
cleared once the connection succeeds, where CF_WAKE_ONCE is set instead,
causing the request analysers to be scanned again.
For future versions, some better options will have to be considered :
- let all analysers subscribe to both request and response events ;
- let analysers subscribe to stream interface events (reduces number
of useless calls)
- change CF_WAKE_WRITE's semantics to persist across calls to
process_session(), but that is different from validating a
connection establishment (eg: no data sent, or no data to send)
The bug was introduced in 1.5-dev23, no backport is needed.
Till now we used to return a pointer to a rule, but that makes it
complicated to later add support for registering new actions which
may fail. For example, the redirect may fail if the response is too
large to fit into the buffer.
So instead let's return a verdict. But we needed the pointer to the
last rule to get the address of a redirect and to get the realm used
by the auth page. So these pieces of code have moved into the function
and they produce a verdict.
Last fix did address the issue for inlined patterns, but it was not
enough because the flags are lost as well when updating patterns
dynamically over the CLI.
Also if the same file was used once with -i and another time without
-i, their references would have been merged and both would have used
the same matching method.
It's appear that the patterns have two types of flags. The first
ones are relative to the pattern matching, and the second are
relative to the pattern storage. The pattern matching flags are
the same for all the patterns of one expression. Now they are
stored in the expression. The storage flags are information
returned by the pattern mathing function. This information is
relative to each entry and is stored in the "struct pattern".
Now, the expression matching flags are forwarded to the parse
and index functions. These flags are stored during the
configuration parsing, and they are used during the parse and
index actions.
This issue was introduced in dev23 with the major pattern rework,
and is a continuation of commit a631fc8 ("BUG/MAJOR: patterns: -i
and -n are ignored for inlined patterns"). No backport is needed.
These flags are only passed to pattern_read_from_file() which
loads the patterns from a file. The functions used to parse the
patterns from the current line do not provide the means to pass
the pattern flags so they're lost.
This issue was introduced in dev23 with the major pattern rework,
and was reported by Graham Morley. No backport is needed.
Using the previous callback, it's trivial to block the heartbeat attack,
first we control the message length, then we emit an SSL error if it is
out of bounds. A special log is emitted, indicating that a heartbleed
attack was stopped so that they are not confused with other failures.
That way, haproxy can protect itself even when running on an unpatched
SSL stack. Tests performed with openssl-1.0.1c indicate a total success.
Users have seen a huge increase in the rate of SSL handshake failures
starting from 2014/04/08 with the release of the Heartbleed OpenSSL
vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160). Haproxy can detect that a heartbeat
was received in the incoming handshake, and such heartbeats are not
supposed to be common, so let's log a different message when a
handshake error happens after a heartbeat is detected.
This patch only adds the new message and the new code.
The http_(res|req)_keywords_register() functions allow to register
new keywords.
You need to declare a keyword list:
struct http_req_action_kw_list test_kws = {
.scope = "testscope",
.kw = {
{ "test", parse_test },
{ NULL, NULL },
}
};
and a parsing function:
int parse_test(const char **args, int *cur_arg, struct proxy *px, struct http_req_rule *rule, char **err)
{
rule->action = HTTP_REQ_ACT_CUSTOM_STOP;
rule->action_ptr = action_function;
return 0;
}
http_req_keywords_register(&test_kws);
The HTTP_REQ_ACT_CUSTOM_STOP action stops evaluation of rules after
your rule, HTTP_REQ_ACT_CUSTOM_CONT permits the evaluation of rules
after your rule.
This patch allows manipulation of ACL and MAP content thanks to any
information available in a session: source IP address, HTTP request or
response header, etc...
It's an update "on the fly" of the content of the map/acls. This means
it does not resist to reload or restart of HAProxy.
Finn Arne Gangstad suggested that we should have the ability to break
keep-alive when the target server has reached its maxconn and that a
number of connections are present in the queue. After some discussion
around his proposed patch, the following solution was suggested : have
a per-proxy setting to fix a limit to the number of queued connections
on a server after which we break keep-alive. This ensures that even in
high latency networks where keep-alive is beneficial, we try to find a
different server.
This patch is partially based on his original proposal and implements
this configurable threshold.
All the code inherited from version 1.1 still holds a lot ot sessions
called "t" because in 1.1 they were tasks. This naming is very annoying
and sometimes even confusing, for example in code involving tables.
Let's get rid of this once for all and before 1.5-final.
Nothing changed beyond just carefully renaming these variables.
This basically reimplements commit f3221f9 ("MEDIUM: stats: add support
for HTTP keep-alive on the stats page") which was reverted by commit
51437d2 after Igor Chan reported a broken stats page caused by the bug
fix by previous commit.
In order to avoid abusively relying on buf->o to guess how many bytes to
rewind during a redispatch, we now clear msg->sov. Thus the meaning of this
field is exactly "how many bytes of headers are left to be forwarded". It
is still possible to rewind because msg->eoh + msg->eol equal that value
before scheduling the forwarding, so we can always subtract them.
http_body_rewind() returns the number of bytes to rewind before buf->p to
find the message's body. It relies on http_hdr_rewind() to find the beginning
and adds msg->eoh + msg->eol which are always safe.
http_data_rewind() does the same to get the beginning of the data, which
differs from above when a chunk is present. It uses the function above and
adds msg->sol.
The purpose is to centralize further ->sov changes aiming at avoiding
to rely on buf->o.
http_uri_rewind() returns the number of bytes to rewind before buf->p to
find the URI. It relies on http_hdr_rewind() to find the beginning and
is just here to simplify operations.
The purpose is to centralize further ->sov changes aiming at avoiding
to rely on buf->o.
http_hdr_rewind() returns the number of bytes to rewind before buf->p to
find the beginning of headers. At the moment it's not exact as it still
relies on buf->o, assuming that no other data from a past message were
pending there, but it's what was done till there.
The purpose is to centralize further ->sov changes aiming at avoiding
to rely on buf->o.
http_body_bytes() returns the number of bytes of the current message body
present in the buffer. It is compatible with being called before and after
the headers are forwarded.
This is done to centralize further ->sov changes.
There are still some pending issues in the gzip compressor, and fixing
them requires a better handling of intermediate parsing states.
Another issue to deal with is the rewinding of a buffer during a redispatch
when a load balancing algorithm involves L7 data because the exact amount of
data to rewind is not clear. At the moment, this is handled by unwinding all
pending data, which cannot work in responses due to pipelining.
Last, having a first analysis which parses the body and another one which
restarts from where the parsing was left is wrong. Right now it only works
because we never both parse and transform in the same direction. But that
is wrong anyway.
In order to address the first issue, we'll have to use msg->eoh + msg->eol
to find the end of headers, and we still need to store the information about
the forwarded header length somewhere (msg->sol might be reused for this).
msg->sov may only be used for the start of data and not for subsequent chunks
if possible. This first implies that we stop sharing it with header length,
and stop using msg->sol there. In fact we don't need it already as it is
always zero when reaching the HTTP_MSG_BODY state. It was only updated to
reflect a copy of msg->sov.
So now as a first step into that direction, this patch ensure that msg->sol
is never re-assigned after being set to zero and is not used anymore when
we're dealing with HTTP processing and forwarding. We'll later reuse it
differently but for now it's secured.
The patch does nothing magic, it only removes msg->sol everywhere it was
already zero and avoids setting it. In order to keep the sov-sol difference,
it now resets sov after forwarding data. In theory there's no problem here,
but the patch is still tagged major because that code is complex.
One of the issues we face when we need to either forward headers only
before compressing, or rewind the stream during a redispatch is to know
the proper length of the request headers. msg->eoh always has the total
length up to the last CRLF, and we never know whether the request ended
with a single LF or a standard CRLF. This makes it hard to rewind the
headers without explicitly checking the bytes in the buffer.
Instead of doing so, we now use msg->eol to carry the length of the last
CRLF (either 1 or 2). Since it is not modified at all after HTTP_MSG_BODY,
and was only left in an undefined state, it is safe to use at any moment.
Thus, the complete header length to forward or to rewind now is always
msg->eoh + msg->eol.
This is the continuation of previous patch. Now that full buffers are
not rejected anymore, let's wait for at least the advertised chunk or
body length to be present or the buffer to be full. When either
condition is met, the message processing can go forward.
Thus we don't need to use url_param_post_limit anymore, which was passed
in the configuration as an optionnal <max_wait> parameter after the
"check_post" value. This setting was necessary when the feature was
implemented because there was no support for parsing message bodies.
The argument is now silently ignored if set in the configuration.
The function addr_to_stktable_key doesn't consider the expected
type of key. If the stick table key is based on IPv6 addresses
and the input is IPv4, the returned key is IPv4 adddress and his
length is 4 bytes, while is expected 16 bytes key.
This patch considers the expected key and try to convert IPv4 to
IPv6 and IPv6 to IPv4 according with the expected key.
This fixes the bug reported by Apollon Oikonomopoulos.
This bug was introduced somewhere in the 1.5-dev process.
When compiled with USE_GETADDRINFO, make sure we use getaddrinfo(3) to
perform name lookups. On default dual-stack setups this will change the
behavior of using IPv6 first. Global configuration option
'nogetaddrinfo' can be used to revert to deprecated gethostbyname(3).
Commit 6f7203d ("MEDIUM: pattern: add prune function") introduced an
array of functions pat_prune_fcts[] but unfortunately declared it in
pattern.h without marking it "extern", resulting in each file including
it having its own copy.
The cfgparse.c file becomes huge, and a large part of it comes from the
server keyword parser. Since the configuration is a bit more modular now,
move this parser to server.c.
This patch also moves the check of the "server" keyword earlier in the
supported keywords list, resulting in a slightly faster config parsing
for configs with large numbers of servers (about 10%).
No functional change was made, only the code was moved.
We have a use case where we look up a customer ID in an HTTP header
and direct it to the corresponding server. This can easily be done
using ACLs and use_backend rules, but the configuration becomes
painful to maintain when the number of customers grows to a few
tens or even a several hundreds.
We realized it would be nice if we could make the use_backend
resolve its name at run time instead of config parsing time, and
use a similar expression as http-request add-header to decide on
the proper backend to use. This permits the use of prefixes or
even complex names in backend expressions. If no name matches,
then the default backend is used. Doing so allowed us to get rid
of all the use_backend rules.
Since there are some config checks on the use_backend rules to see
if the referenced backend exists, we want to keep them to detect
config errors in normal config. So this patch does not modify the
default behaviour and proceeds this way :
- if the backend name in the use_backend directive parses as a log
format rule, it's used as-is and is resolved at run time ;
- otherwise it's a static name which must be valid at config time.
There was the possibility of doing this with the use-server directive
instead of use_backend, but it seems like use_backend is more suited
to this task, as it can be used for other purposes. For example, it
becomes easy to serve a customer-specific proxy.pac file based on the
customer ID by abusing the errorfile primitive :
use_backend bk_cust_%[hdr(X-Cust-Id)] if { hdr(X-Cust-Id) -m found }
default_backend bk_err_404
backend bk_cust_1
errorfile 200 /etc/haproxy/static/proxy.pac.cust1

This patch permit to register new sections in the haproxy's
configuration file. This run like all the "keyword" registration, it is
used during the haproxy initialization, typically with the
"__attribute__((constructor))" functions.
The function url2sa() converts faster url like http://<ip>:<port> in a
struct sockaddr_storage. This patch add:
- the https support
- permit to return the length parsed
- support IPv6
- support DNS synchronous resolution only during start of haproxy.
The faster IPv4 convertion way is keeped. IPv6 is slower, because I use
the standard IPv6 parser function.
This function it is used for dynamically update all the patterns
attached to one file. This function is atomic. All parsing or indexation
failures are reported in the haproxy logs.
This patch replace a lot of pointeur by pattern matching identifier. If
the declared ACL use all the predefined pattern matching functions, the
register function gets the functions provided by "pattern.c" and
identified by the PAT_LATCH_*.
In the case of the acl uses his own functions, they can be declared, and
the acl registration doesn't change it.
This flag is no longer used. The last place using this, are the display
of the result of pattern matching in the cli command "get map" or "get
acl".
The first parameter of this command is the reference of the file used to
perform the lookup.
The function str2net runs DNS resolution if valid ip cannot be parsed.
The DNS function used is the standard function of the libc and it
performs asynchronous request.
The asynchronous request is not compatible with the haproxy
archictecture.
str2net() is used during the runtime throught the "socket".
This patch remove the DNS resolution during the runtime.
The pointer <regstr> is only used to compare and identify the original
regex string with the patterns. Now the patterns have a reference map
containing this original string. It is useless to store this value two
times.
This patch adds new display type. This display returns allocated string,
when the string is flush into buffers, it is freed. This permit to
return the content of "memprintf(err, ...)" messages.
The pat_ref_add functions has changed to return error.
The format of the acl file are not the same than the format of the map
files. In some case, the same file can be used, but this is ambiguous
for the user because the patterns are not the expected.
The acl and map function do the same work with the file parsing. This
patch merge these code in only one.
Note that the function map_read_entries_from_file() in the file "map.c"
is moved to the the function pat_ref_read_from_file_smp() in the file
"pattern.c". The code of this function is not modified, only the the
name and the arguments order has changed.
The find_smp search the smp using the value of the pat_ref_elt pointer.
The pat_find_smp_* are no longer used. The function pattern_find_smp()
known all pattern indexation, and can be found
All the pattern delete function can use her reference to the original
"struct pat_ref_elt" to find the element to be remove. The functions
pat_del_list_str() and pat_del_meth() were deleted because after
applying this modification, they have the same code than pat_del_list_ptr().
Now, each pattern entry known the original "struct pat_ref_elt" from
that was built. This patch permit to delete each pattern entry without
confusion. After this patch, each reference can use his pointer to be
targeted.
The pattern reference are stored with two identifiers: the unique_id and
the reference.
The reference identify a file. Each file with the same name point to the
same reference. We can register many times one file. If the file is
modified, all his dependencies are also modified. The reference can be
used with map or acl.
The unique_id identify inline acl. The unique id is unique for each acl.
You cannot force the same id in the configuration file, because this
repport an error.
The format of the acl and map listing through the "socket" has changed
for displaying these new ids.
This patch extract the expect_type variable from the "struct pattern" to
"struct pattern_head". This variable is set during the declaration of
ACL and MAP. With this change, the function "pat_parse_len()" become
useless and can be replaced by "pat_parse_int()".
Implicit ACLs by default rely on the fetch's output type, so let's simply do
the same for all other ones. It has been verified that they all match.
Sometimes the same pattern file is used with the same index, parse and
parse_smp functions. If this two condition are true, these two pattern
are identical and the same struct can be used.
This patch add the following socket command line options:
show acl [<id>]
clear acl <id>
get acl <id> <pattern>
del acl <id> <pattern>
add acl <id> <pattern>
The system used for maps is backported in the pattern functions.
Some functions needs to change the sample associated to pattern. This
new pointer permit to return the a pointer to the sample pointer. The
caller can use or change the value.
This commit adds a delete function for patterns. It looks up all
instances of the pattern to delete and deletes them all. The fetch
keyword declarations have been extended to point to the appropriate
delete function.
This commit adds second tree node in the pattern struct and use it to
index IPv6 addresses. This commit report feature used in the list. If
IPv4 not match the tree, try to convert the IPv4 address in IPv6 with
prefixing the IPv4 address by "::ffff", after this operation, the match
function try lookup in the IPv6 tree. If the IPv6 sample dont match the
IPv6 tree, try to convert the IPv6 addresses prefixed by "2002:IPv4",
"::ffff:IPv4" and "::0000:IPv4" in IPv4 address. after this operation,
the match function try lookup in the IPv4 tree.
The match function known the format of the pattern. The pattern can be
stored in a list or in a tree. The pattern matching function use itself
the good entry point and indexation type.
Each pattern matching function return the struct pattern that match. If
the flag "fill" is set, the struct pattern is filled, otherwise the
content of this struct must not be used.
With this feature, the general pattern matching function cannot have
exceptions for building the "struct pattern".
Before this commit, the pattern_exec_match() function returns the
associate sample, the associate struct pattern or the associate struct
pattern_tree. This is complex to use, because we can check the type of
information returned.
Now the function return always a "struct pattern". If <fill> is not set,
only the value of the pointer can be used as boolean (NULL or other). If
<fill> is set, you can use the <smp> pointer and the pattern
information.
If information must be duplicated, it is stored in trash buffer.
Otherwise, the pattern can point on existing strings.
The method are actuelly stored using two types. Integer if the method is
known and string if the method is not known. The fetch is declared as
UINT, but in some case it can provides STR.
This patch create new type called METH. This type contain interge for
known method and string for the other methods. It can be used with
automatic converters.
The pattern matching can expect method.
During the free or prune function, http_meth pettern is freed. This
patch initialise the freed pointer to NULL.
The operations applied on types SMP_T_CSTR and SMP_T_STR are the same,
but the check code and the declarations are double, because it must
declare action for SMP_T_C* and SMP_T_*. The declared actions and checks
are the same. this complexify the code. Only the "conv" functions can
change from "C*" to "*"
Now, if a function needs to modify input string, it can call the new
function smp_dup(). This one duplicate data in a trash buffer.
The pattern parse functions put the parsed result in a "struct pattern"
without memory allocation. If the pattern must reference the input data
without changes, the pattern point to the parsed string. If buffers are
needed to store translated data, it use th trash buffer. The indexation
function that allocate the memory later if it is needed.
Before this patch, the indexation function check the declared patttern
matching function and index the data according with this function. This
is not useful to add some indexation mode.
This commit adds dedicated indexation function. Each struct pattern is
associated with one indexation function. This function permit to index
data according with the type of pattern and with the type of match.
This commit separes the "struct list" used for the chain the "struct
pattern" which contain the pattern data. Later, this change will permit
to manipulate lists ans trees with the same "struct pattern".
Each pattern parser take only one string. This change is reported to the
function prototype of the function "pattern_register()". Now, it is
called with just one string and no need to browse the array of args.
After the previous patches, the "pat_parse_strcat()" function disappear,
and the "pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" functions dont
use anymore the "opaque" argument, and take only one string on his
input.
So, after this patch, each pattern parser no longer use the opaque
variable and take only one string as input. This patch change the
prototype of the pattern parsing functions.
Now, the "char **args" is replaced by a "char *arg", the "int *opaque"
is removed and these functions return 1 in succes case, and 0 if fail.
The goal of these patch is to simplify the prototype of
"pat_pattern_*()" functions. I want to replace the argument "char
**args" by a simple "char *arg" and remove the "opaque" argument.
"pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" are the unique pattern
parser using the "opaque" argument and using more than one string
argument of the char **args. These specificities are only used with ACL.
Other systems using this pattern parser (MAP and CLI) just use one
string for describing a range.
This two functions can read a range, but the min and the max must y
specified. This patch extends the syntax to describe a range with
implicit min and max. This is used for operators like "lt", "le", "gt",
and "ge". the syntax is the following:
":x" -> no min to "x"
"x:" -> "x" to no max
This patch moves the parsing of the comparison operator from the
functions "pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" to the acl
parser. The acl parser read the operator and the values and build a
volatile string readable by the functions "pat_parse_int()" and
"pat_parse_dotted_ver()". The transformation is done with these rules:
If the parser is "pat_parse_int()":
"eq x" -> "x"
"le x" -> ":x"
"lt x" -> ":y" (with y = x - 1)
"ge x" -> "x:"
"gt x" -> "y:" (with y = x + 1)
If the parser is "pat_parse_dotted_ver()":
"eq x.y" -> "x.y"
"le x.y" -> ":x.y"
"lt x.y" -> ":w.z" (with w.z = x.y - 1)
"ge x.y" -> "x.y:"
"gt x.y" -> "w.z:" (with w.z = x.y + 1)
Note that, if "y" is not present, assume that is "0".
Now "pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" accept only one
pattern and the variable "opaque" is no longer used. The prototype of
the pattern parsers can be changed.
This patch remove the limit of 32 groups. It also permit to use standard
"pat_parse_str()" function in place of "pat_parse_strcat()". The
"pat_parse_strcat()" is no longer used and its removed. Before this
patch, the groups are stored in a bitfield, now they are stored in a
list of strings. The matching is slower, but the number of groups is
low and generally the list of allowed groups is short.
The fetch function "smp_fetch_http_auth_grp()" used with the name
"http_auth_group" return valid username. It can be used as string for
displaying the username or with the acl "http_auth_group" for checking
the group of the user.
Maybe the names of the ACL and fetch methods are no longer suitable, but
I keep the current names for conserving the compatibility with existing
configurations.
The function "userlist_postinit()" is created from verification code
stored in the big function "check_config_validity()". The code is
adapted to the new authentication storage system and it is moved in the
"src/auth.c" file. This function is used to check the validity of the
users declared in groups and to check the validity of groups declared
on the "user" entries.
This resolve function is executed before the check of all proxy because
many acl needs solved users and groups.
The binary samples are sometimes copied as is into http headers.
A sample can contain bytes unallowed by the http rfc concerning
header content, for example if it was extracted from binary data.
The resulting http request can thus be invalid.
This issue does not yet happen because haproxy currently (mistakenly)
hex-encodes binary data, so it is not really possible to retrieve
invalid HTTP chars.
The solution consists in hex-encoding all non-printable chars prefixed
by a '%' sign.
No backport is needed since existing code is not affected yet.
Large configurations can take time to parse when thousands of backends
are in use. Let's store all the proxies in trees.
findproxy_mode() has been modified to use the tree for lookups, which
has divided the parsing time by about 2.5. But many lookups are still
present at many places and need to be dealt with.
Currently, "balance url_param check_post" randomly works. If the client
sends chunked data and there's another chunk after the one containing the
data, http_request_forward_body() will advance msg->sov and move the start
of data to the beginning of the last chunk, and get_server_ph_post() will
not find the data.
In order to avoid this, we add an HTTP_MSGF_WAIT_CONN flag whose goal is
to prevent the forwarding code from parsing until the connection is
confirmed, so that we're certain not to fail on a redispatch. Note that
we need to force channel_auto_connect() since the output buffer is empty
and a previous analyser might have stopped auto-connect.
The flag is currently set whenever some L7 POST analysis is needed for a
connect() so that it correctly addresses all corner cases involving a
possible rewind of the buffer, waiting for a better fix.
Note that this has been broken for a very long time. Even all 1.4 versions
seem broken but differently, with ->sov pointing to the end of the arguments.
So the fix should be considered for backporting to all stable releases,
possibly including 1.3 which works differently.
Finn Arne Gangstad reported that commit 6b726adb35 ("MEDIUM: http: do
not report connection errors for second and further requests") breaks
support for serving static files by abusing the errorfile 503 statement.
Indeed, a second request over a connection sent to any server or backend
returning 503 would silently be dropped.
The proper solution consists in adding a flag on the session indicating
that the server connection was reused, and to only avoid the error code
in this case.
The new tune.idletimer value allows one to set a different value for
idle stream detection. The default value remains set to one second.
It is possible to disable it using zero, and to change the default
value at build time using DEFAULT_IDLE_TIMER.
We store the time stamp of last read in the channel in order to
be able to measure some bit rate and pause lengths. We only use
16 bits which were unused for this. We don't need more, as it
allows us to measure with a millisecond precision for up to 65s.
These ones are only reset during transfers. There is a low but non-null
risk that a first full read causes the previous value to be reused and
immediately to immediately set the CF_STREAMER flag. The impact is only
to increase earlier than expected the SSL record size and to use splice().
This bug was already present in 1.4, so a backport is possible.
Summary:
Track and report last session time on the stats page for each server
in every backend, as well as the backend.
This attempts to address the requirement in the ROADMAP
- add a last activity date for each server (req/resp) that will be
displayed in the stats. It will be useful with soft stop.
The stats page reports this as time elapsed since last session. This
change does not adequately address the requirement for long running
session (websocket, RDP... etc).
By having the stream interface pass the CF_STREAMER flag to the
snd_buf() primitive, we're able to tell the send layer whether
we're sending large chunks or small ones.
We use this information in SSL to adjust the max record dynamically.
This results in small chunks respecting tune.ssl.maxrecord at the
beginning of a transfer or for small transfers, with an automatic
switch to full records if the exchanges last long. This allows the
receiver to parse HTML contents on the fly without having to retrieve
16kB of data, which is even more important with small initcwnd since
the receiver does not need to wait for round trips to start fetching
new objects. However, sending large files still produces large chunks.
For example, with tune.ssl.maxrecord = 2859, we see 5 write(2885)
sent in two segments each and 6 write(16421).
This idea was first proposed on the haproxy mailing list by Ilya Grigorik.
This prevents us from passing other useful info and requires the
upper levels to know these flags. Let's use a new flags category
instead : CO_SFL_*. For now, only MSG_MORE has been remapped.
A new tcp-check rule type: connect.
It allows HAProxy to test applications which stand on multiple ports or
multiple applications load-balanced through the same backend.
Since we support HTTP keep-alive, there is no more reason for staying
in tunnel mode by default. It is confusing for new users and creates
more issues than it solves. Option "http-tunnel" is available to force
to use it if really desired.
Switching to KA by default has implied to change the value of some
option flags and some transaction flags so that value zero (default)
matches keep-alive. That explains why more code has been changed than
expected. Tests have been run on the 25 combinations of frontend and
backend options, plus a few with option http-pretend-keepalive, and
no anomaly was found.
The relation between frontend and backends remains the same. Options
have been updated to take precedence over http-keep-alive which is now
implicit.
All references in the doc to haproxy not supporting keep-alive have
been fixed, and the doc for config options has been updated.
At the very beginning of haproxy, there was "option httpclose" to make
haproxy add a "Connection: close" header in both directions to invite
both sides to agree on closing the connection. It did not work with some
rare products, so "option forceclose" was added to do the same and actively
close the connection. Then client-side keep-alive was supported, so option
http-server-close was introduced. Now we have keep-alive with a fourth
option, not to mention the implicit tunnel mode.
The connection configuration has become a total mess because all the
options above may be combined together, despite almost everyone thinking
they cancel each other, as judging from the common problem reports on the
mailing list. Unfortunately, re-reading the doc shows that it's not clear
at all that options may be combined, and the opposite seems more obvious
since they're compared. The most common issue is options being set in the
defaults section that are not negated in other sections, but are just
combined when the user expects them to be overloaded. The migration to
keep-alive by default will only make things worse.
So let's start to address the first problem. A transaction can only work in
5 modes today :
- tunnel : haproxy doesn't bother with what follows the first req/resp
- passive close : option http-close
- forced close : option forceclose
- server close : option http-server-close with keep-alive on the client side
- keep-alive : option http-keep-alive, end to end
All 16 combination for each section fall into one of these cases. Same for
the 256 combinations resulting from frontend+backend different modes.
With this patch, we're doing something slightly different, which will not
change anything for users with valid configs, and will only change the
behaviour for users with unsafe configs. The principle is that these options
may not combined anymore, and that the latest one always overrides all the
other ones, including those inherited from the defaults section. The "no
option xxx" statement is still supported to cancel one option and fall back
to the default one. It is mainly needed to ignore defaults sections (eg:
force the tunnel mode). The frontend+backend combinations have not changed.
So for examplen the following configuration used to put the connection
into forceclose :
defaults http
mode http
option httpclose
frontend foo.
option http-server-close
=> http-server-close+httpclose = forceclose before this patch! Now
the frontend's config replaces the defaults config and results in
the more expected http-server-close.
All 25 combinations of the 5 modes in (frontend,backend) have been
successfully tested.
In order to prepare for upcoming changes, a new "option http-tunnel" was
added. It currently only voids all other options, and has the lowest
precedence when mixed with another option in another frontend/backend.
If no CA file specified on a server line, the config parser will show an error.
Adds an cmdline option '-dV' to re-set verify 'none' as global default on
servers side (previous behavior).
Also adds 'ssl-server-verify' global statement to set global default to
'none' or 'required'.
WARNING: this changes the default verify mode from "none" to "required" on
the server side, and it *will* break insecure setups.
Till now, we had one flag per stick counter to indicate if it was
tracked in a backend or in a frontend. We just had to add another
flag per stick-counter to indicate if it relies on contents or just
connection. These flags are quite painful to maintain and tend to
easily conflict with other flags if their number is changed.
The correct solution consists in moving the flags to the stkctr struct
itself, but currently this struct is made of 2 pointers, so adding a
new entry there to store only two bits will cause at least 16 more bytes
to be eaten per counter due to alignment issues, and we definitely don't
want to waste tens to hundreds of bytes per session just for things that
most users don't use.
Since we only need to store two bits per counter, an intermediate
solution consists in replacing the entry pointer with a composite
value made of the original entry pointer and the two flags in the
2 unused lower bits. If later a need for other flags arises, we'll
have to store them in the struct.
A few inline functions have been added to abstract the retrieval
and assignment of the pointers and flags, resulting in very few
changes. That way there is no more dependence on the number of
stick-counters and their position in the session flags.
Very often we want to associate one or two flags to a pointer, to
put a type on it or whatever. This patch provides this in standard.h
in the form of a few inline functions which combine a void * pointer
with an int and return an unsigned long called a composite address.
The functions allow to individuall set, retrieve both the pointer and
the flags. This is very similar to what is used in ebtree in fact.
One year ago, commit 5d5b5d8 ("MEDIUM: proto_tcp: add support for tracking
L7 information") brought support for tracking L7 information in tcp-request
content rules. Two years earlier, commit 0a4838c ("[MEDIUM] session-counters:
correctly unbind the counters tracked by the backend") used to flush the
backend counters after processing a request.
While that earliest patch was correct at the time, it became wrong after
the second patch was merged. The code does what it says, but the concept
is flawed. "TCP request content" rules are evaluated for each HTTP request
over a single connection. So if such a rule in the frontend decides to
track any L7 information or to track L4 information when an L7 condition
matches, then it is applied to all requests over the same connection even
if they don't match. This means that a rule such as :
tcp-request content track-sc0 src if { path /index.html }
will count one request for index.html, and another one for each of the
objects present on this page that are fetched over the same connection
which sent the initial matching request.
Worse, it is possible to make the code do stupid things by using multiple
counters:
tcp-request content track-sc0 src if { path /foo }
tcp-request content track-sc1 src if { path /bar }
Just sending two requests first, one with /foo, one with /bar, shows
twice the number of requests for all subsequent requests. Just because
both of them persist after the end of the request.
So the decision to flush backend-tracked counters was not the correct
one. In practice, what is important is to flush countent-based rules
since they are the ones evaluated for each request.
Doing so requires new flags in the session however, to keep track of
which stick-counter was tracked by what ruleset. A later change might
make this easier to maintain over time.
This bug is 1.5-specific, no backport to stable is needed.
show pools
Dump the status of internal memory pools. This is useful to track memory
usage when suspecting a memory leak for example. It does exactly the same
as the SIGQUIT when running in foreground except that it does not flush
the pools.
Just like the previous commit, we sometimes want to limit the rate of
incoming SSL connections. While it can be done for a frontend, it was
not possible for a whole process, which makes sense when multiple
processes are running on a system to server multiple customers.
The new global "maxsslrate" setting is usable to fix a limit on the
session rate going to the SSL frontends. The limits applies before
the SSL handshake and not after, so that it saves the SSL stack from
expensive key computations that would finally be aborted before being
accounted for.
The same setting may be changed at run time on the CLI using
"set rate-limit ssl-session global".
It's sometimes useful to be able to limit the connection rate on a machine
running many haproxy instances (eg: per customer) but it removes the ability
for that machine to defend itself against a DoS. Thus, better also provide a
limit on the session rate, which does not include the connections rejected by
"tcp-request connection" rules. This permits to have much higher limits on
the connection rate without having to raise the session rate limit to insane
values.
The limit can be changed on the CLI using "set rate-limit sessions global",
or in the global section using "maxsessrate".
In addition to previous outputs, we also emit the cumulated number of
connections, the cumulated number of requests, the maximum allowed
SSL connection concurrency, the current number of SSL connections and
the cumulated number of SSL connections. This will help troubleshoot
systems which experience memory shortage due to SSL.
This function is used to compute the new polling state based on
the previous state. All pollers have to do this in their update
loop, so better centralize the logic for it.
Currently, each poll loop handles the polled events the same way,
resulting in a lot of duplicated, complex code. Additionally, epoll
was the only one to handle newly created FDs immediately.
So instead, let's move that code to fd.c in a new function dedicated
to this task : fd_process_polled_events(). All pollers now use this
function.
This is the reimplementation of the "done" action : when we experience
a short read, we're almost certain that we've exhausted the system's
buffers and that we'll meet an EAGAIN if we attempt to read again. If
the FD is not yet polled, the stream interface already takes care of
stopping the speculative read. When the FD is already being polled, we
have two options :
- either we're running from a level-triggered poller, in which case
we'd rather report that we've reached the end so that we don't
speculate over the poller and let it report next time data are
available ;
- or we're running from an edge-triggered poller in which case we
have no choice and have to see the EAGAIN to re-enable events.
At the moment we don't have any edge-triggered poller, so it's desirable
to avoid speculative I/O that we know will fail.
Note that this must not be ported to SSL since SSL hides the real
readiness of the file descriptor.
Thanks to this change, we observe no EAGAIN anymore during keep-alive
transfers, and failed recvfrom() are reduced by half in http-server-close
mode (the client-facing side is always being polled and the second recv
can be avoided). Doing so results in about 5% performance increase in
keep-alive mode. Similarly, we used to have up to about 1.6% of EAGAIN
on accept() (1/maxaccept), and these have completely disappeared under
high loads.
It's easier and safer to rely on conn_xprt_ready() everywhere than to
check the flag itself. It will also simplify adding extra checks later
if needed. Some useless controls for !xprt have been removed, as the
XPRT_READY flag itself guarantees xprt is set.
It's easier and safer to rely on conn_ctrl_ready() everywhere than to
check the flag itself. It will also simplify adding extra checks later
if needed. Some useless controls for !ctrl have been removed, as the
CTRL_READY flag itself guarantees ctrl is set.
We simply remove these functions and replace their calls with the
appropriate ones :
- if we're in the data phase, we can simply report wait on the FD
- if we're in the socket phase, we may also have to signal the
desire to read/write on the socket because it might not be
active yet.
These flags were used to report the readiness of the file descriptor.
Now this readiness is directly checked at the file descriptor itself.
This removes the need for constantly synchronizing updates between the
file descriptor and the connection and ensures that all layers share
the same level of information.
For now, the readiness is updated in conn_{sock,data}_poll_* by directly
touching the file descriptor. This must move to the lower layers instead
so that these functions can disappear as well. In this state, the change
works but is incomplete. It's sensible enough to avoid making it more
complex.
Now the sock/data updates become much simpler because they just have to
enable/disable access to a file descriptor and not to care anymore about
its readiness.
This commit heavily changes the polling system in order to definitely
fix the frequent breakage of SSL which needs to remember the last
EAGAIN before deciding whether to poll or not. Now we have a state per
direction for each FD, as opposed to a previous and current state
previously. An FD can have up to 8 different states for each direction,
each of which being the result of a 3-bit combination. These 3 bits
indicate a wish to access the FD, the readiness of the FD and the
subscription of the FD to the polling system.
This means that it will now be possible to remember the state of a
file descriptor across disable/enable sequences that generally happen
during forwarding, where enabling reading on a previously disabled FD
would result in forgetting the EAGAIN flag it met last time.
Several new state manipulation functions have been introduced or
adapted :
- fd_want_{recv,send} : enable receiving/sending on the FD regardless
of its state (sets the ACTIVE flag) ;
- fd_stop_{recv,send} : stop receiving/sending on the FD regardless
of its state (clears the ACTIVE flag) ;
- fd_cant_{recv,send} : report a failure to receive/send on the FD
corresponding to EAGAIN (clears the READY flag) ;
- fd_may_{recv,send} : report the ability to receive/send on the FD
as reported by poll() (sets the READY flag) ;
Some functions are used to report the current FD status :
- fd_{recv,send}_active
- fd_{recv,send}_ready
- fd_{recv,send}_polled
Some functions were removed :
- fd_ev_clr(), fd_ev_set(), fd_ev_rem(), fd_ev_wai()
The POLLHUP/POLLERR flags are now reported as ready so that the I/O layers
knows it can try to access the file descriptor to get this information.
In order to simplify the conditions to add/remove cache entries, a new
function fd_alloc_or_release_cache_entry() was created to be used from
pollers while scanning for updates.
The following pollers have been updated :
ev_select() : done, built, tested on Linux 3.10
ev_poll() : done, built, tested on Linux 3.10
ev_epoll() : done, built, tested on Linux 3.10 & 3.13
ev_kqueue() : done, built, tested on OpenBSD 5.2
We're completely changing the way FDs will be polled. There will be no
more speculative I/O since we'll know the exact FD state, so these will
only be cached events.
First, let's fix a few field names which become confusing. "spec_e" was
used to store a speculative I/O event state. Now we'll store the whole
R/W states for the FD there. "spec_p" was used to store a speculative
I/O cache position. Now let's clearly call it "cache".

Patrick Hemmer reported that using unique_id_format and logs did not
report the same unique ID counter since commit 9f09521 ("BUG/MEDIUM:
unique_id: HTTP request counter must be unique!"). This is because
the increment was done while producing the log message, so it was
performed twice.
A better solution consists in fetching a new value once per request
and saving it in the request or session context for all of this
request's life.
It happens that sessions already have a unique ID field which is used
for debugging and reporting errors, and which differs from the one
sent in logs and unique_id header.
So let's change this to reuse this field to have coherent IDs everywhere.
As of now, a session gets a new unique ID once it is instanciated. This
means that TCP sessions will also benefit from a unique ID that can be
logged. And this ID is renewed for each extra HTTP request received on
an existing session. Thus, all TCP sessions and HTTP requests will have
distinct IDs that will be stable along all their life, and coherent
between all places where they're used (logs, unique_id header,
"show sess", "show errors").
This feature is 1.5-specific, no backport to 1.4 is needed.
It is quite often that an connection error only reports "socket error" with
no more information. This is especially problematic with health checks where
many causes are possible, including resource exhaustion which do not lead to
a valid errno code. So let's add explicit codes to cover these cases.
Till now there was no way to know from a connection if a previous
call to drain() had done any change. This function is used to drain
incoming data and to update the connection's flags at the same time.
It also correctly sets the polling flags on the connection if the
drain function indicates inability to receive. This function will
be used preferably over ctrl->drain() when a connection is used.
Recent commit 4448925 ("BUILD/MINOR: listener: remove a glibc warning on accept4()")
broke accept4() on some systems because the glibc's version may now conflict with
the local one.
This reverts commit 1208266356.
It randomly breaks SSL. What happens is that if the SSL response is
read at once by the SSL stack and is partially delivered to the buffer,
then there's no way to read the next parts because we wait for some
polling first.
So we'll fix this after the polling rework.
This function is called twice per request, and does almost always nothing.
Better use an inline version to avoid entering it when we can.
About 0.5% additional performance was gained this way.
si_connect() used to only return SI_ST_CON. But it already detect the
connection reuse and is the function which avoids calling connect().
So it already knows the connection is valid and reuse. Thus we make it
return SI_ST_EST when a connection is reused. This means that
connect_server() can return this state and sess_update_stream_int()
as well.
Thanks to this change, we don't need to leave process_session() in
SI_ST_CON state to immediately enter it again to switch to SI_ST_EST.
Implementing this removes one call to process_session() per request
in keep-alive mode. We're now at 2 calls per request, which is the
minimum (one for the request and another one for the response). The
number of calls to http_wait_for_response() has also dropped from 2
to one.
Tests indicate a performance gain of about 2.6% in request rate in
keep-alive mode. There should be no gain in http-server-close() since
we don't use this faster path.
Since commit 6b66f3e ([MAJOR] implement autonomous inter-socket forwarding)
introduced in 1.3.16-rc1, we've been relying on a stupid mechanism to wake
up the task after a write, which was an exact copy-paste of the reader side.
The principle was that if we empty a buffer and there's no forwarding
scheduled or if the *producer* is not in a connected state, then we wake
the task up.
That does not make any sense. It happens to wake up too late sometimes (eg,
when the request analyser waits for some room in the buffer to start to
work), and leads to unneeded wakeups in client-side keep-alive, because
the task is woken up when the response is sent, while the analysers are
simply waiting for a new request.
In order to fix this, we introduce a new channel flag : CF_WAKE_WRITE. It
is designed so that an analyser can explicitly request being notified when
some data were written. It is used only when the HTTP request or response
analysers need to wait for more room in the buffers. It is automatically
cleared upon wake up.
The flag is also automatically set by the functions which try to write into
a buffer from an applet when they fail (bi_putblk() etc...).
That allows us to remove the stupid condition above and avoid some wakeups.
In http-server-close and in http-keep-alive modes, this reduces from 4 to 3
the average number of wakeups per request, and increases the overall
performance by about 1.5%.
This reverts commit f3221f99ac.
Igor reported some very strange breakage of his stats page which is
clearly caused by the chunking, though I don't see at first glance
what could be wrong. Better revert it for now.
In theory the principle is simple as we just need to send HTTP chunks
if the client is 1.1 compatible. In practice it's harder because we
have to append a CR LF after each block of data and we're never sure
to have the room for this. In order not to have to deal with this, we
instead send the CR LF prior to each chunk size. The only issue is for
the first chunk and for this reason we avoid to send the empty header
line when using chunked encoding.
This value is stored as unsigned in chn->to_forward. Having it defined
as signed makes it impossible to pass channel_forward() a previously
saved value because the argument will be zero-extended during the
conversion to long long, while the test will be performed using sign
extension. There is no impact on existing code right now.
If a file descriptor is being polled, and it stopped (eg: buffer full
or end of response), then re-enabled, currently what happens is that
the polling is disabled, then the fd is enabled in speculative mode,
an I/O attempt is made, it loses (otherwise the FD would surely not
have been polled), and the polled is enabled again.
This is too bad, especially with HTTP keep-alive on the server side
where all operations are performed at once before going back to the
poll loop.
Now we improve the behaviour by ensuring that if an fd is still being
polled, when it's enabled after having been disabled, we re-enable the
polling. Doing so saves a number of syscalls and useless wakeups, and
results in a significant performance gain on HTTP keep-alive. A 11%
increase has been observed on the HTTP request rate in keep-alive
thanks to this.
It could be considered as a bug fix, but there was no harm with the
current behaviour, except extra syscalls.
In HTTP keep-alive mode, if we receive a 401, we still have a chance
of being able to send the visitor again to the same server over the
same connection. This is required by some broken protocols such as
NTLM, and anyway whenever there is an opportunity for sending the
challenge to the proper place, it's better to do it (at least it
helps with debugging).
Idle connections are not monitored right now. So if a server closes after
a response without advertising it, it won't be detected until a next
request wants to use the connection. This is a bit problematic because
it unnecessarily maintains file descriptors and sockets in an idle
state.
This patch implements a very simple idle connection manager for the stream
interface. It presents itself as an I/O callback. The HTTP engine enables
it when it recycles a connection. If a close or an error is detected on the
underlying socket, it tries to drain as much data as possible from the socket,
detect the close and responds with a close as well, then detaches from the
stream interface.
The throttling of low weight servers (<16) could mistakenly be reported
as > 100% due to a rounding that was performed before a multiply by 100
instead of after. This was introduced in 1.5-dev20 when fixing a previous
reporting issue by commit d32c399 (MINOR: stats: report correct throttling
percentage for servers in slowstart).
It should be backported if the patch above is backported.
When the load balancing algorithm in use is not deterministic, and a previous
request was sent to a server to which haproxy still holds a connection, it is
sometimes desirable that subsequent requests on a same session go to the same
server as much as possible. Note that this is different from persistence, as
we only indicate a preference which haproxy tries to apply without any form
of warranty. The real use is for keep-alive connections sent to servers. When
this option is used, haproxy will try to reuse the same connection that is
attached to the server instead of rebalancing to another server, causing a
close of the connection. This can make sense for static file servers. It does
not make much sense to use this in combination with hashing algorithms.
This is the best place to reuse a connection. We centralize all
connection requests and we're at the best place to know exactly
what the current state of the underlying connection is. If the
connection is reused, we just enable polling for send() in order
to be able to emit the request.
When allocating a new connection, only the caller knows whether it's
acceptable to reuse the previous one or not. Let's pass this information
to si_alloc_conn() which will do the cleanup if the connection is not
acceptable.
Right now we see many places doing their own setsockopt(SO_LINGER).
Better only do it just before the close() in fd_delete(). For this
we add a new flag on the file descriptor, indicating if it's safe or
not to linger. If not (eg: after a connect()), then the setsockopt()
call is automatically performed before a close().
The flag automatically turns to safe when receiving a read0.
conn_xprt_ready() reports if the transport layer is ready.
conn_ctrl_ready() reports if the control layer is ready.
The stream interface uses si_conn_ready() to report that the
underlying connection is ready. This will be used for connection
reuse in keep-alive mode.
Health checks can now be paused. This is the status they get when the
server is put into maintenance mode, which is more logical than relying
on the server's state at some places. It will be needed to allow agent
checks to run when health checks are disabled (currently not possible).
Having the check state partially stored in the server doesn't help.
Some functions such as srv_getinter() rely on the server being checked
to decide what check frequency to use, instead of relying on the check
being configured. So let's get rid of SRV_CHECKED and SRV_AGENT_CHECKED
and only use the check's states instead.
At the moment, health checks and agent checks are tied : no agent
check is emitted if no health check is enabled. Other parameters
are considered in the condition for letting checks run. It will
help us selectively enable checks (agent and regular checks) to be
know whether they're enabled/disabled and configured or not. Now
we can already emit an error when trying to enable an unconfigured
agent.
The flag CHK_STATE_RUNNING is misleading as one may believe it means
the state is enabled (just like SRV_RUNNING). Let's rename these two
flags CHK_ST_INPROGRESS and CHK_ST_DISABLED.
We used to have up to 4 sets of flags which were almost all exclusive
to report a check result. And the names were inherited from the old
server states, adding to the confusion. Let's replace that with an
enum handling only the possible combinations :
SRV_CHK_UNKNOWN => CHK_RES_UNKNOWN
SRV_CHK_FAILED => CHK_RES_FAILED
SRV_CHK_PASSED => CHK_RES_PASSED
SRV_CHK_PASSED | SRV_CHK_DISABLE => CHK_RES_CONDPASS
After the move of checks from servers to autonomous checks, we need a
massive cleanup and reordering as it's becoming increasingly difficult
to find the definitions of types and enums.
Nothing was changed, blocks were just moved.
Server tracking uses the same "tracknext" list for servers tracking
another one and for the servers being tracked. This caused an issue
which was fixed by commit f39c71c ([CRITICAL] fix server state tracking:
it was O(n!) instead of O(n)), consisting in ensuring that a server is
being checked before walking down the list, so that we don't propagate
the up/down information via servers being part of the track chain.
But the root cause is the fact that all servers share the same list.
The correct solution consists in having a list head for the tracked
servers and a list of next tracking servers. This simplifies the
propagation logic, especially for the case where status changes might
be passed to individual servers via the CLI.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore unwanted function returns in
debug code with gcc. Now even when you try to work around it, it suggests a
way to write your code differently. For example :
src/frontend.c:187:65: warning: if statement has empty body [-Wempty-body]
if (write(1, trash.str, trash.len) < 0) /* shut gcc warning */;
^
src/frontend.c:187:65: note: put the semicolon on a separate line to silence this warning
1 warning generated.
This is totally unacceptable, this code already had to be written this way
to shut it up in earlier versions. And now it comments the form ? What's the
purpose of the C language if you can't write anymore the code that does what
you want ?
Emeric proposed to just keep a global variable to drain such useless results
so that gcc stops complaining all the time it believes people who write code
are monkeys. The solution is acceptable because the useless assignment is done
only in debug code so it will not impact performance. This patch implements
this, until gcc becomes even "smarter" to detect that we tried to cheat.
Some systems use different types for tv_sec/tv_usec, some are
signed others not. From time to time new warnings are reported
about implicit casts being done.
This patch ensures that TV_ETERNITY is cast to the appropriate
type in assignments and conversions.
Doing so ensures that we're consistent between all the functions in the whole
chain. This is important so that we can extract the argument parsing from this
function.
This patch adds map manipulation commands to the socket interface.
add map <map> <key> <value>
Add the value <value> in the map <map>, at the entry corresponding to
the key <key>. This command does not verify if the entry already
exists.
clear map <map>
Remove entries from the map <map>
del map <map> <key>
Delete all the map entries corresponding to the <key> value in the map
<map>.
set map <map> <key> <value>
Modify the value corresponding to each key <key> in a map <map>. The
new value is <value>.
show map [<map>]
Dump info about map converters. Without argument, the list of all
available maps are returned. If a <map> is specified, is content is
dumped.
With this patch, patterns can be compiled for two modes :
- match
- lookup
The match mode is used for example in ACLs or maps. The lookup mode
is used to lookup a key for pattern maintenance. For example, looking
up a network is different from looking up one address belonging to
this network.
A special case is made for regex. In lookup mode they return the input
regex string and do not compile the regex.
Now, the pat_parse_*() functions parses the incoming data. The input
"pattern" struct can be preallocated. If the parser needs to add some
buffers, it allocates memory.
The function pattern_register() runs the call to the parser, process
the key indexation and associate the "sample_storage" used by maps.
This patch remove the compatibility check from the input type and the
match method. Now, it checks if a casts from the input type to output
type exists and the pattern_exec_match() function apply casts before
each pattern matching.
This is used later for increasing the compability with incoming
sample types. When multiple compatible types are supported, one
is arbitrarily used (eg: UINT).
Baptiste Assmann reported some confusing printf() output of the server
port since it's declared signed. Better turn it to unsigned.
There's no need to backport this, it's only used in 16-bit places.
SSL and keep-alive will need to be able to fail on allocation errors,
and the stream interface did not allow to report such a cause. The flag
will then be "RC" as already documented.
Just by reordering the struct task, we could shrink it by 8 bytes from
120 to 112 bytes. A careful reordering allowed each part to be located
closer to the hot parts it's used with, resulting in another performance
increase of about 0.5%.
This reduces its size which is not reused by anything else. However it
will significantly improve the debugger's output since we'll now get
real state values.
The default case had to be enabled in the parsers because gcc tries
to optimize the switch/case and noticed some values were missing from
the enums and emitted a warning.
Here again we had some oversized and misaligned entries. The method
and the status don't need 4 bytes each, and there was a hole after
the status that does not exist anymore. That's 8 additional bytes
saved from http_txn and as much for the session.
Also some fields were slightly moved to present better memory access
patterns resulting in a steady 0.5% performance increase.
The current and previous states are now packed enums instead of ints. This will
also help in gdb. The flags have been turned to 16-bit instead of 32 since only
10 are used. This resulted in saving 8 bytes per streamm interface, or 16 per
session.
Turn the proxy state to a packed enum (1 char), same for the proxy mode,
and store the capabitilies as a char. These 3 ints can now fill the hole
after obj_type and save 8 bytes in the proxy struct. Moving the maxconn
value just after, which is frequently accessed and was in a block of 3
ints saved another 8 bytes.
Pack the listener state to 1 char, store it as an enum instead of an
int (more gdb-friendly), and move a few fields around to fill holes.
The <nice> field can only be -1024..1024 so it was stored as a signed
short and completes well with obj_type and li_state.
Doing this has reduced the struct listener from 376 to 360 bytes (4.2%).
By moving the error code to 8 bits the send_proxy_ofs to 16 bits, and
moving them just after the obj_type, we can save 8 bytes in the struct
connection, down from 328 to 320.
Taking 32-bit in each struct just to store an obj_type is a waste
considering the very small amount of possible values. Let's force
it to be as small as possible (1 char) and we'll be able to move
some structs around to save some space.
From now on, a call to stream_int_register_handler() causes a call
to si_alloc_appctx() and returns an initialized appctx for the
current stream interface. If one was previously allocated, it is
released. If the stream interface was attached to a connection, it
is released as well.
The appctx are allocated from the same pools as the connections, because
they're substantially smaller in size, and we can't have both a connection
and an appctx on an interface at any moment.
In case of memory shortage, the call may return NULL, which is already
handled by all consumers of stream_int_register_handler().
The field appctx was removed from the stream interface since we only
rely on the endpoint now. On 32-bit, the stream_interface size went down
from 108 to 44 bytes. On 64-bit, it went down from 144 to 64 bytes. This
represents a memory saving of 160 bytes per session.
It seems that a later improvement could be to move the call to
stream_int_register_handler() to session.c for most cases.
The task returned by stream_int_register_handler() is never used, however we
always need to access the appctx afterwards. So make it return the appctx
instead. We already plan for it to fail, which is the reason for the addition
of a few tests and the possibility for the HTTP analyser to return a status
code 500.
We're about to remove si->appctx, so first let's replace all occurrences
of its usage with a dynamic extract from si->end. A lot of code was changed
by search-n-replace, but the behaviour was intentionally not altered.
The code surrounding calls to stream_int_register_handler() was slightly
changed since we can only use si->end *after* the registration.
We used to have two very similar functions for sending a PROXY protocol
line header. The reason is that the default one relies on the stream
interface to retrieve the other end's address, while the "local" one
performs a local address lookup and sends that instead (used by health
checks).
Now that the send_proxy_ofs is stored in the connection and not the
stream interface, we can make the local_send_proxy rely on it and
support partial sends. This also simplifies the code by removing the
local_send_proxy function, making health checks use send_proxy_ofs,
resulting in the removal of the CO_FL_LOCAL_SPROXY flag, and the
associated test in the connection handler. The other flag,
CO_FL_SI_SEND_PROXY was renamed without the "SI" part so that it
is clear that it is not dedicated anymore to a usage with a stream
interface.
Till now the send_proxy_ofs field remained in the stream interface,
but since the dynamic allocation of the connection, it makes a lot
of sense to move that into the connection instead of the stream
interface, since it will not be statically allocated for each
session.
Also, it turns out that moving it to the connection fils an alignment
hole on 64 bit architectures so it does not consume more memory, and
removing it from the stream interface was an opportunity to correctly
reorder fields and reduce the stream interface's size from 160 to 144
bytes (-10%). This is 32 bytes saved per session.
The outgoing connection is now allocated dynamically upon the first attempt
to touch the connection's source or destination address. If this allocation
fails, we fail on SN_ERR_RESOURCE.
As we didn't use si->conn anymore, it was removed. The endpoints are released
upon session_free(), on the error path, and upon a new transaction. That way
we are able to carry the existing server's address across retries.
The stream interfaces are not initialized anymore before session_complete(),
so we could even think about allocating them dynamically as well, though
that would not provide much savings.
The session initialization now makes use of conn_new()/conn_free(). This
slightly simplifies the code and makes it more logical. The connection
initialization code is now shorter by about 120 bytes because it's done
at once, allowing the compiler to remove all redundant initializations.
The si_attach_applet() function now takes care of first detaching the
existing endpoint, and it is called from stream_int_register_handler(),
so we can safely remove the calls to si_release_endpoint() in the
application code around this call.
A call to si_detach() was made upon stream_int_unregister_handler() to
ensure we always free the allocated connection if one was allocated in
parallel to setting an applet (eg: detect HTTP proxy while proceeding
with stats maybe).
si_prepare_conn() is not appropriate in our case as it both initializes and
attaches the connection to the stream interface. Due to the asymmetry between
accept() and connect(), it causes some fields such as the control and transport
layers to be reinitialized.
Now that we can separately initialize these fields using conn_prepare(), let's
break this function to only attach the connection to the stream interface.
Also, by analogy, si_prepare_none() was renamed si_detach(), and
si_prepare_applet() was renamed si_attach_applet().
We don't want to assign the control nor transport layers anymore
at the same time as the data layer, because it prevents one from
keeping existing settings when reattaching a connection to an
existing stream interface.
Let's have conn_attach() replace conn_assign() for this purpose.
Thus, conn_prepare() + conn_attach() do exactly the same as the
previous conn_assign().
Now that we can assign conn->xprt regardless of the initialization state,
we can reintroduce conn_prepare() to set only the protocol, the transport
layer and initialize the transport layer's state.
The first function is used to (re)initialize a stream interface and
the second to force it into a known state. These are intended for
cleaning up the stream interface initialization code in session.c
and peers.c and avoiding future issues with missing initializations.
Currently the control and transport layers of a connection are supposed
to be initialized when their respective pointers are not NULL. This will
not work anymore when we plan to reuse connections, because there is an
asymmetry between the accept() side and the connect() side :
- on accept() side, the fd is set first, then the ctrl layer then the
transport layer ; upon error, they must be undone in the reverse order,
then the FD must be closed. The FD must not be deleted if the control
layer was not yet initialized ;
- on the connect() side, the fd is set last and there is no reliable way
to know if it has been initialized or not. In practice it's initialized
to -1 first but this is hackish and supposes that local FDs only will
be used forever. Also, there are even less solutions for keeping trace
of the transport layer's state.
Also it is possible to support delayed close() when something (eg: logs)
tracks some information requiring the transport and/or control layers,
making it even more difficult to clean them.
So the proposed solution is to add two flags to the connection :
- CO_FL_CTRL_READY is set when the control layer is initialized (fd_insert)
and cleared after it's released (fd_delete).
- CO_FL_XPRT_READY is set when the control layer is initialized (xprt->init)
and cleared after it's released (xprt->close).
The functions have been adapted to rely on this and not on the pointers
anymore. conn_xprt_close() was unused and dangerous : it did not close
the control layer (eg: the socket itself) but still marks the transport
layer as closed, preventing any future call to conn_full_close() from
finishing the job.
The problem comes from conn_full_close() in fact. It needs to close the
xprt and ctrl layers independantly. After that we're still having an issue :
we don't know based on ->ctrl alone whether the fd was registered or not.
For this we use the two new flags CO_FL_XPRT_READY and CO_FL_CTRL_READY. We
now rely on this and not on conn->xprt nor conn->ctrl anymore to decide what
remains to be done on the connection.
In order not to miss some flag assignments, we introduce conn_ctrl_init()
to initialize the control layer, register the fd using fd_insert() and set
the flag, and conn_ctrl_close() which unregisters the fd and removes the
flag, but only if the transport layer was closed.
Similarly, at the transport layer, conn_xprt_init() calls ->init and sets
the flag, while conn_xprt_close() checks the flag, calls ->close and clears
the flag, regardless xprt_ctx or xprt_st. This also ensures that the ->init
and the ->close functions are called only once each and in the correct order.
Note that conn_xprt_close() does nothing if the transport layer is still
tracked.
conn_full_close() now simply calls conn_xprt_close() then conn_full_close()
in turn, which do nothing if CO_FL_XPRT_TRACKED is set.
In order to handle the error path, we also provide conn_force_close() which
ignores CO_FL_XPRT_TRACKED and closes the transport and the control layers
in turns. All relevant instances of fd_delete() have been replaced with
conn_force_close(). Now we always know what state the connection is in and
we can expect to split its initialization.
conn_new() will be a more convenient way of allocating and initializing
a connection. It calls pool_alloc2() and conn_init() upon success.
conn_free() is just a pool_free2() but is provided for symmetry with
conn_new().
Everywhere conn_prepare() is used, the call to conn_init() has already
been done. We can now safely replace all instances of conn_prepare()
with conn_assign() which does not reset the transport layer, and remove
conn_prepare().
This function will ease the initialization of new connections as well
as their reuse. It initializes the obj_type and a few fields so that
the connection is fresh again. It leaves the addresses and target
untouched so it is suitable for use across connection retries.
In order to reduce the dependency over stream-interfaces, we now
attach the incoming connection to the embryonic session's target
instead of the stream-interface's connection. This means we won't
need to initialize stream interfaces anymore after we implement
dynamic connection allocation. The session's target is reset to
NULL after the session has been converted to a complete session.
The connection will only remain there as a pre-allocated entity whose
goal is to be placed in ->end when establishing an outgoing connection.
All connection initialization can be made on this connection, but all
information retrieved should be applied to the end point only.
This change is huge because there were many users of si->conn. Now the
only users are those who initialize the new connection. The difficulty
appears in a few places such as backend.c, proto_http.c, peers.c where
si->conn is used to hold the connection's target address before assigning
the connection to the stream interface. This is why we have to keep
si->conn for now. A future improvement might consist in dynamically
allocating the connection when it is needed.
This function makes no sense anymore and will cause trouble to convert
the remains of connection/applet to end points. Let's replace it now
with its contents.
The long-term goal is to have a context for applets as an alternative
to the connection and not as a complement. At the moment, the context
is still stored into the stream interface, and we only put a pointer
to the applet's context in si->end, initialize the context with object
type OBJ_TYPE_APPCTX, and this allows us not to allocate an entry when
deciding to switch to an applet.
A special care is taken to never dereference si->conn anymore when
dealing with an applet. That's why it's important that si->end is
always set to the proper type :
si->end == NULL => not connected to anything
*si->end == OBJ_TYPE_APPCTX => connected to an applet
*si->end == OBJ_TYPE_CONN => real connection (server, proxy, ...)
The session management code used to check the applet from the connection's
target. Now it uses the stream interface's end point and does not touch the
connection at all. Similarly, we stop checking the connection's addresses
and file descriptors when reporting the applet's status in the stats dump.
Since last commit, we now have a pointer to the applet in the
applet context. So we don't need the si->release function pointer
anymore, it can be extracted from applet->applet.release. At many
places, the ->release function was still tested for real connections
while it is only limited to applets, so most of them were simply
removed. For the remaining valid uses, a new inline function
si_applet_release() was added to simplify the check and the call.
In preparation for a later move of all the applet context outside of the
stream interface, we'll need to have access to the applet itself from the
context. Let's have a pointer to it inside the context.
si_prepare_embedded() was used both to attach an applet and to detach
anything from a stream interface. Split it into si_prepare_none() to
detach and si_prepare_applet() to attach an applet.
si->conn->target is now assigned from within these two functions instead
of their respective callers.
Since this is the applet context, call it ->appctx to avoid the confusion
with the pointer to the applet. Many places were changed but it's only a
renaming.
The object type was added to "struct appctx". The purpose will be
to identify an appctx when the applet context is detached from the
stream interface. For now, it's still attached, so this patch only
adds the new type and does not replace its use.
In preparation of making the applet context dynamically allocatable,
we create a "struct appctx". Nothing else was changed, it's the same
struct as the one which was in the stream interface.
A long time ago when peers were introduced, there was no applet nor
applet context. Applet contexts were introduced but the peers still
did not make use of them and the "ptr" pointer remains present in
every stream interface in addition to the other contexts.
Simply move this pointer to its own location in the context.
Note that this pointer is still a void* because its type and contents
varies depending on the peers session state. Probably that this could
be cleaned up in the future given that all other contexts already store
much more than a single pointer.
Most of the times, the caller of objt_<type>(ptr) will know that <ptr>
is valid and of the correct type (eg: in an "if" condition). Let's provide
an unsafe variant that does not perform the check again for these usages.
The new functions are called "__objt_<type>".
This is to be more consistent with the other functions. The only
reason why these functions used to return a value was to let the
caller adjust polling by itself, but now their only callers were
the si_shutr()/si_shutw() inline functions. Now these functions
do not depend anymore on the connection.
These connection variant of these functions now call
conn_data_stop_recv()/conn_data_stop_send() before returning order
not to require a return code anymore. The applet version does not
need this at all.
These functions induce a lot of ifs everywhere because they consider two
different cases, one which is where the connection exists and has a file
descriptor, and the other one which is the default case where at most an
applet has to be notified.
Let's have them in si_ops and automatically decide which one to use.
The connection shutdown sequence has been slightly simplified, and we
now clear the flags at the end.
Also we remove SHUTR_NOW after a shutw with nolinger, as it's cleaner
not to keep it.
There is a big trouble with the way POST is handled for the admin
stats page. The POST parameters are extracted from some http-request
rules, and if not round they return zero hoping for being called again
when more data passes. This results in the HTTP analyser being called
several times and all the rules prior to the stats being executed
multiple times as well. That includes rewrite rules.
So instead of doing this, we now move all the processing of the stats
into the stats applet.
That way we just set the stats applet in the HTTP analyser when a stats
request is detected, and the applet takes the time it needs to read the
arguments and respond. We could even imagine improving the applet to
support requests larger than a single buffer.
The code was almost only moved and minimally changed. Several new HTTP
states were added to the stats applet to emit headers, redirects and
to read POST. It was necessary to do this because the headers sent
depend on the parsing of the POST request. In the end it's beneficial
because we removed two stream_int_retnclose() calls.
In preparation for moving the POST processing to the applet, we first
add new states to the HTTP I/O handler. Till now st0 was only 0/1 for
start/end. We now replace it with an enum.
We make the peers code use applet->ptr instead of conn->xprt_ctx to
store the pointer to the current peer. That way it does not depend
on a connection anymore.
We're trying to move the applets out of the struct connection. So
let's remove the dependence on xprt_st and introduce si->applet.st2
to store the missing contextual data instead.
The store[] array in the session holds a flag which probably aimed to
differenciate store entries learned from the request from those learned
from the response, and allowing responses to overwrite only the request
ones (eg: have a server set a response cookie which overwrites the request
one).
But this flag is set when a response data is stored, and is never cleared.
So in practice, haproxy always runs with this flag set, meaning that
responses prevent themselves from overriding the request data.
It is desirable anyway to keep the ability not to override data, because
the override is performed only based on the table and not on the key, so
that would mean that it would be impossible to retrieve two different
keys to store into a same table. For example, if a client sets a cookie
and a server another one, both need to be updated in the table in the
proper order. This is especially true when multiple keys may be tracked
on each side into the same table (eg: list of IP addresses in a header).
So the correct fix which also maintains the current behaviour consists in
simply removing this flag and never try to optimize for the overwrite case.
This fix also has the benefit of significantly reducing the session size,
by 64 bytes due to alignment issues caused by this flag!
The bug has been there forever (since 1.4-dev7), so a backport to 1.4
would be appropriate.
In recent commit 5ecb77f (MEDIUM: checks: add send/expect tcp based check),
bitfields were mistakenly used at some places for the actions. Fortunately,
the only two actions right now are 1 and 2 so they don't share any bit in
common and the bug has no impact.
No backport is needed.
This is a generic health check which can be used to match a
banner or send a request and analyse a server response.
It works in a send/expect ways and many exchange can be done between
HAProxy and a server to decide the server status, making HAProxy able to
speak the server's protocol.
It can send arbitrary regular or binary strings and match content as a
regular or binary string or a regex.

We currently use such an hex parser in pat_parse_bin() to parse hex
string patterns. We'll need another generic one so let's move it to
standard.c and have pat_parse_bin() make use of it.
This patch permits to use the same struct pattern for two indentical maps.
This permits to preserve memory, and permits to update only one
"struct pattern" when the dynamic map update is supported.
We handle "http-request redirect" with a log-format string now, but we
leave "redirect" unaffected.
Note that the control of the special "/" case is move from the runtime
execution to the configuration parsing. If the format rule list is
empty, the build_logline() function does nothing.
Add a new converter with the following prototype :
map(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
map_<match_type>(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
map_<match_type>_<output_type>(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
It searches the for input value from <map_file> using the <match_type>
matching method, and return the associated value converted to the type
<output_type>. If the input value cannot be found in the <map_file>,
the converter returns the <default_value>. If the <default_value> is
not set, the converter fails and acts as if no input value could be
fetched. If the <match_type> is not set, it defaults to "str".
Likewise, if the <output_type> is not set, it defaults to "str". For
convenience, the "map" keyword is an alias for "map_str" and maps a
string to another string. The following array contains contains the
list of all the map* converters.
+----+----------+---------+-------------+------------+
| `-_ out | | | |
| input `-_ | str | int | ip |
| / match `-_ | | | |
+---------------+---------+-------------+------------+

The names are intentionally chosen to reflect the same match methods
as ACLs use.
This patch allows each sample cast function to specify the sample
output type. The goal is to be able to emit an output type IPv4 or
IPv6 depending on what is found in the input if the next converter
is able to process them both.
The patch also adds a new pseudo type called "ADDR". This type is an
alias for IPV4 and IPV6 which is only used as an input type by converters
who want to express their compatibility with both address formats. It may
not be emitted.
The goal is to unify as much as possible the processing of IPv4 and IPv6
in order not to add extra keywords for the maps which act as converters,
but will match samples like ACLs do with their patterns.
We now have the following enums and all related functions return them and
consume them :
enum pat_match_res {
PAT_NOMATCH = 0, /* sample didn't match any pattern */
PAT_MATCH = 3, /* sample matched at least one pattern */
};
enum acl_test_res {
ACL_TEST_FAIL = 0, /* test failed */
ACL_TEST_MISS = 1, /* test may pass with more info */
ACL_TEST_PASS = 3, /* test passed */
};
enum acl_cond_pol {
ACL_COND_NONE, /* no polarity set yet */
ACL_COND_IF, /* positive condition (after 'if') */
ACL_COND_UNLESS, /* negative condition (after 'unless') */
};
It's just in order to avoid doubts when reading some code.
This patch just renames functions, types and enums. No code was changed.
A significant number of files were touched, especially the ACL arrays,
so it is likely that some external patches will not apply anymore.
One important thing is that we had to split ACL_PAT_* into two groups :
- ACL_TEST_{PASS|MISS|FAIL}
- PAT_{MATCH|UNMATCH}
A future patch will enforce enums on all these places to avoid confusion.
This patch just moves code without any change.
The ACL are just the association between sample and pattern. The pattern
contains the match method and the parse method. These two things are
different. This patch cleans the code by splitting it.
This will be used later with maps. Each map will associate an entry with
a sample_storage value.
This patch changes the "parse" prototype and all the parsing methods.
The goal is to associate "struct sample_storage" to each entry of
"struct acl_pattern". Only the "parse" function can add the sample value
into the "struct acl_pattern".
This struct is used to store a sample constant. The size of this
struct is less than the struct sample. This struct only contains
a constant and doesn't need the "ctx" nor the "flags".
The map feature will need to match acl patterns. This patch extracts
the matching function from the global ACL function "acl_exec_cond".
The code was only moved to its own function, no functional changes were made.
With this split, the pattern indexation can apply to any source. The map
feature needs this functionality because the map cannot be loaded with the
same file format as the ones supported by acl_read_patterns_from_file().
The code was only moved to its own function, no functional changes were made.
The inet_pton function needs an input string with a final \0. This
function copies the input string to a temporary buffer, adds the final
\0 and converts to address.
If the acl keyword is a "fetch", the dedicated parsing function
"sample_parse_expr()" is used. Otherwise, the acl parsing function
"parse_acl_expr()" is extended to understand the syntax of a series
of converters placed after the "fetch" keyword.
Before this patch, each acl uses a "struct sample_fetch" and executes
it with the "<fetch>->process()" function. Now, the dedicated function
"sample_process()" is called.
These syntax are now avalaible:
acl bad req.hdr(host),lower -m str www
http-request redirect prefix /go-away if bad

When parsing track-sc* actions in tcp-request rules, we now automatically
compute the track-sc identifier number using %d when displaying an error
message. But the ID has become wrong since we introduced sc0, we continue
to report id+1 in error messages causing some confusion.
No backport is needed.
Add a DRAIN sub-state for a server which
will be shown on the stats page instead of UP if
its effective weight is zero.
Also, log if a server enters or leaves the DRAIN state
as the result of an agent check.

The syntax of this new commands are:
enable agent <backend>/<server>
disable agent <backend>/<server>
These commands allow temporarily stopping and subsequently
re-starting an auxiliary agent check. The effect of this is as follows:
New checks are only initialised when the agent is in the enabled. Thus,
disable agent will prevent any new agent checks from begin initiated until
the agent re-enabled using enable agent.
When an agent is disabled the processing of an auxiliary agent check that
was initiated while the agent was set as enabled is as follows: All
results that would alter the weight, specifically "drain" or a weight
returned by the agent, are ignored. The processing of agent check is
otherwise unchanged.
The motivation for this feature is to allow the weight changing effects
of the agent checks to be paused to allow the weight of a server to be
configured using set weight without being overridden by the agent.

This is achieved by moving rise and fall from struct server to struct check.
After this move the behaviour of the primary check, server->check is
unchanged. However, the secondary agent check, server->agent now has
independent rise and fall values each of which are set to 1.
The result is that receiving "fail", "stopped" or "down" just once from the
agent will mark the server as down. And receiving a weight just once will
allow the server to be marked up if its primary check is in good health.
This opens up the scope to allow the rise and fall values of the agent
check to be configurable, however this has not been implemented at this
stage.

Allow an auxiliary agent check to be run independently of the
regular a regular health check. This is enabled by the agent-check
server setting.
The agent-port, which specifies the TCP port to use for the agent's
connections, is required.
The agent-inter, which specifies the interval between agent checks and
timeout of agent checks, is optional. If not set the value for regular
checks is used.
e.g.
server web1_1 127.0.0.1:80 check agent-port 10000
If either the health or agent check determines that a server is down
then it is marked as being down, otherwise it is marked as being up.
An agent health check performed by opening a TCP socket and reading an
ASCII string. The string should have one of the following forms:
* An ASCII representation of an positive integer percentage.
e.g. "75%"
Values in this format will set the weight proportional to the initial
weight of a server as configured when haproxy starts.
* The string "drain".
This will cause the weight of a server to be set to 0, and thus it
will not accept any new connections other than those that are
accepted via persistence.
* The string "down", optionally followed by a description string.
Mark the server as down and log the description string as the reason.
* The string "stopped", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as "down".
* The string "fail", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as "down".

The column used to report the throttle percentage when a server is in
slowstart is based on the time only. This is wrong, because server weights
in slowstart are updated at most once a second, so the reported value is
wrong at least fo rone second during each step, which means all the time
when using short delays (< 20s).
The second point is that it's disturbing to see a weight < 100% without
any throttle at the end of the period (during the last second), because
the effective weight has not yet been updated.
Instead, we now compute the exact ratio between eweight and uweight and
report it. It's always accurate and describes the value being used instead
of using only the date.
It can be backported to 1.4 though it's not particularly important.
A crash was reported by Igor at owind when changing a server's weight
on the CLI. Lukas Tribus could reproduce a related bug where setting
a server's weight would result in the new weight being multiplied by
the initial one. The two bugs are the same.
The incorrect weight calculation results in the total farm weight being
larger than what was initially allocated, causing the map index to be out
of bounds on some hashes. It's easy to reproduce using "balance url_param"
with a variable param, or with "balance static-rr".
It appears that the calculation is made at many places and is not always
right and not always wrong the same way. Thus, this patch introduces a
new function "server_recalc_eweight()" which is dedicated to this task
of computing ->eweight from many other elements including uweight and
current time (for slowstart), and all users now switch to use this
function.
The patch is a bit large but the code was not trivially fixable in a way
that could guarantee this situation would not occur anymore. The fix is
much more readable and has been verified to work with all algorithms,
with both consistent and map-based hashes, and even with static-rr.
Slowstart was tested as well, just like enable/disable server.
The same bug is very likely present in 1.4 as well, so the patch will
probably need to be backported eventhough it will not apply as-is.
Thanks to Lukas and Igor for the information they provided to reproduce it.

Paramatise the following functions over the check of a server
* set_server_down
* set_server_up
* srv_getinter
* server_status_printf
* set_server_check_status
* set_server_disabled
* set_server_enabled
Generally the server parameter of these functions has been removed.
Where it is still needed it is obtained using check->server.
This is in preparation for associating a agent check
with a server which runs as well as the server's existing check.
By paramatising these functions they may act on each of the checks
without further significant modification.
Explanation of the SSP_O_HCHK portion of this change:
* Prior to this patch SSP_O_HCHK serves a single purpose which
is to tell server_status_printf() weather it should print
the details of the check of a server or not.
With the paramatisation that this patch adds there are two cases.
1) Printing the details of the check in which case a
valid check parameter is needed.
2) Not printing the details of the check in which case
the contents check parameter are unused.
In case 1) we could pass SSP_O_HCHK and a valid check and;
In case 2) we could pass !SSP_O_HCHK and any value for check
including NULL.
If NULL is used for case 2) then SSP_O_HCHK becomes supurfulous
and as NULL is used for case 2) SSP_O_HCHK has been removed.

This function was designed for haproxy while testing other functions
in the past. Initially it was not planned to be used given the not
very interesting numbers it showed on real URL data : it is not as
smooth as the other ones. But later tests showed that the other ones
are extremely sensible to the server count and the type of input data,
especially DJB2 which must not be used on numeric input. So in fact
this function is still a generally average performer and it can make
sense to merge it in the end, as it can provide an alternative to
sdbm+avalanche or djb2+avalanche for consistent hashing or when hashing
on numeric data such as a source IP address or a visitor identifier in
a URL parameter.
Summary:
Avalanche is supported not as a native hashing choice, but a modifier
on the hashing function. Note that this means that possible configs
written after 1.5-dev4 using "hash-type avalanche" will get an informative
error instead. But as discussed on the mailing list it seems nobody ever
used it anyway, so let's fix it before the final 1.5 release.
The default values were selected for backward compatibility with previous
releases, as discussed on the mailing list, which means that the consistent
hashing will still apply the avalanche hash by default when no explicit
algorithm is specified.
Examples
(default) hash-type map-based
Map based hashing using sdbm without avalanche
(default) hash-type consistent
Consistent hashing using sdbm with avalanche
Additional Examples:
(a) hash-type map-based sdbm
Same as default for map-based above
(b) hash-type map-based sdbm avalanche
Map based hashing using sdbm with avalanche
(c) hash-type map-based djb2
Map based hashing using djb2 without avalanche
(d) hash-type map-based djb2 avalanche
Map based hashing using djb2 with avalanche
(e) hash-type consistent sdbm avalanche
Same as default for consistent above
(f) hash-type consistent sdbm
Consistent hashing using sdbm without avalanche
(g) hash-type consistent djb2
Consistent hashing using djb2 without avalanche
(h) hash-type consistent djb2 avalanche
Consistent hashing using djb2 with avalanche
Summary:
In testing at tumblr, we found that using djb2 hashing instead of the
default sdbm hashing resulted is better workload distribution to our backends.
This commit implements a change, that allows the user to specify the hash
function they want to use. It does not limit itself to consistent hashing
scenarios.
The supported hash functions are sdbm (default), and djb2.
For a discussion of the feature and analysis, see mailing list thread
"Consistent hashing alternative to sdbm" :
http://marc.info/?l=haproxy&m=138213693909219
Note: This change does NOT make changes to new features, for instance,
applying an avalance hashing always being performed before applying
consistent hashing.
If haproxy is compiled with the USE_PCRE_JIT option, the length of the
string is used. If it is compiled without this option the function doesn't
use the length and expects a null terminated string.
The prototype of the function is ambiguous, and depends on the
compilation option. The developer can think that the length is always
used, and many bugs can be created.
This patch makes sure that the length is used. The regex_exec function
adds the final '\0' if it is needed.
The current file "regex.h" define an abstraction for the regex. It
provides the same struct name and the same "regexec" function for the
3 regex types supported: standard libc, basic pcre and jit pcre.
The regex compilation function is not provided by this file. If the
developper wants to use regex, he must write regex compilation code
containing "#define *JIT*".
This patch provides a unique regex compilation function according to
the compilation options.
In addition, the "regex.h" file checks the presence of the "#define
PCRE_CONFIG_JIT" when "USE_PCRE_JIT" is enabled. If this flag is not
present, the pcre lib doesn't support JIT and "#error" is emitted.
This new action immediately closes the connection with the server
when the condition is met. The first such rule executed ends the
rules evaluation. The main purpose of this action is to force a
connection to be finished between a client and a server after an
exchange when the application protocol expects some long time outs
to elapse first. The goal is to eliminate idle connections which
take signifiant resources on servers with certain protocols.
When a process with large stick tables is replaced by a new one and remains
present until the last connection finishes, it keeps these data in memory
for nothing since they will never be used anymore by incoming connections,
except during syncing with the new process. This is especially problematic
when dealing with long session protocols such as WebSocket as it becomes
possible to stack many processes and eat a lot of memory.
So the idea here is to know if a table still needs to be synced or not,
and to purge all unused entries once the sync is complete. This means that
after a few hundred milliseconds when everything has been synchronized with
the new process, only a few entries will remain allocated (only the ones
held by sessions during the restart) and all the remaining memory will be
freed.
Note that we carefully do that only after the grace period is expired so as
not to impact a possible proxy that needs to accept a few more connections
before leaving.
Doing this required to add a sync counter to the stick tables, to know how
many peer sync sessions are still in progress in order not to flush the entries
until all synchronizations are completed.
verifyhost allows you to specify a hostname that the remote server's
SSL certificate must match. Connections that don't match will be
closed with an SSL error.
The HTTP request counter is incremented non atomically, which means that
many requests can log the same ID. Let's increment it when it is consumed
so that we avoid this case.
This bug was reported by Patrick Hemmer. It's 1.5-specific and does not
need to be backported.
The "set table" statement allows to create new entries with their respective
values. Till now it was limited to a single data type per line, requiring as
many "set table" statements as the desired data types to be set. Since this
is only a parser limitation, this patch gets rid of it. It also allows the
creation of a key with no data types (all reset to their default values).
In preparation of more flexibility in the stick counters, make their
number configurable. It still defaults to 3 which is the minimum
accepted value. Changing the value alone is not sufficient to get
more counters, some bitfields still need to be updated and the TCP
actions need to be updated as well, but this update tries to be
easier, which is nice for experimentation purposes.
This function is also called directly from backend.c, so let's stop
building fake args to call it as a sample fetch, and have a lower
layer more generic function instead.
We're having a lot of duplicate code just because of minor variants between
fetch functions that could be dealt with if the functions had the pointer to
the original keyword, so let's pass it as the last argument. An earlier
version used to pass a pointer to the sample_fetch element, but this is not
the best solution for two reasons :
- fetch functions will solely rely on the keyword string
- some other smp_fetch_* users do not have the pointer to the original
keyword and were forced to pass NULL.
So finally we're passing a pointer to the keyword as a const char *, which
perfectly fits the original purpose.
The max weight of server is 256 now, but SRV_UWGHT_MAX is still 255. As a result,
FWRR will not work well when server's weight is 256. The description is as below:
There are some macros related to server's weight in include/types/server.h:
#define SRV_UWGHT_RANGE 256
#define SRV_UWGHT_MAX (SRV_UWGHT_RANGE - 1)
#define SRV_EWGHT_MAX (SRV_UWGHT_MAX * BE_WEIGHT_SCALE)
Since weight of server can be reach to 256 and BE_WEIGHT_SCALE equals to 16,
the max eweight of server should be 256*16 = 4096, it will exceed SRV_EWGHT_MAX
which equals to SRV_UWGHT_MAX*BE_WEIGHT_SCALE = 255*16 = 4080. When a server
with weight 256 is insterted into FWRR tree during initialization, the key value
of this server should be SRV_EWGHT_MAX - s->eweight = 4080 - 4096 = -16 which
is closed to UINT_MAX in unsigned type, so the server with highest weight will
be not elected as the first server to process request.
In addition, it is a better choice to compare with SRV_UWGHT_MAX than a magic
number 256 while doing check for the weight. The max number of servers for
round-robin algorithm is also updated.

As per RFC3260 #4 and BCP37 #4.2 and #5.2, the IPv6 counterpart of TOS
is "traffic class".
Add support for IPv6 traffic class in "set-tos" by moving the "set-tos"
related code to the new inline function inet_set_tos(), handling IPv4
(IP_TOS), IPv6 (IPV6_TCLASS) and IPv4-mapped sockets (IP_TOS, like

Benoit Dolez reported a failure to start haproxy 1.5-dev19. The
process would immediately report an internal error with missing
fetches from some crap instead of ACL names.
The cause is that some versions of gcc seem to trim static structs
containing a variable array when moving them to BSS, and only keep
the fixed size, which is just a list head for all ACL and sample
fetch keywords. This was confirmed at least with gcc 3.4.6. And we
can't move these structs to const because they contain a list element
which is needed to link all of them together during the parsing.
The bug indeed appeared with 1.5-dev19 because it's the first one
to have some empty ACL keyword lists.
One solution is to impose -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss to everyone
but this is not really nice. Another solution consists in ensuring
the struct is never empty so that it does not move there. The easy
solution consists in having a non-null list head since it's not yet
initialized.
A new "ILH" list head type was thus created for this purpose : create
an Initialized List Head so that gcc cannot move the struct to BSS.
This fixes the issue for this version of gcc and does not create any
burden for the declarations.

This configures the client-facing connection to receive a PROXY protocol
header before any byte is read from the socket. This is equivalent to
having the "accept-proxy" keyword on the "bind" line, except that using
the TCP rule allows the PROXY protocol to be accepted only for certain
IP address ranges using an ACL. This is convenient when multiple layers
of load balancers are passed through by traffic coming from public
hosts.
"set-mark" is used to set the Netfilter MARK on all packets sent to the
client to the value passed in <mark> on platforms which support it. This
value is an unsigned 32 bit value which can be matched by netfilter and
by the routing table. It can be expressed both in decimal or hexadecimal
format (prefixed by "0x"). This can be useful to force certain packets to
take a different route (for example a cheaper network path for bulk
downloads). This works on Linux kernels 2.6.32 and above and requires
admin privileges.
This manipulates the TOS field of the IP header of outgoing packets sent
to the client. This can be used to set a specific DSCP traffic class based
on some request or response information. See RFC2474, 2597, 3260 and 4594
for more information.
Some users want to disable logging for certain non-important requests such as
stats requests or health-checks coming from another equipment. Other users want
to log with a higher importance (eg: notice) some special traffic (POST requests,
authenticated requests, requests coming from suspicious IPs) or some abnormally
large responses.
This patch responds to all these needs at once by adding a "set-log-level" action
to http-request/http-response. The 8 syslog levels are supported, as well as "silent"
to disable logging.
Some actions were clearly missing to process response headers. This
patch adds a new "http-response" ruleset which provides the following
actions :
- allow : stop evaluating http-response rules
- deny : stop and reject the response with a 502
- add-header : add a header in log-format mode
- set-header : set a header in log-format mode
Since commit cfd97c6f was merged into 1.5-dev14 (BUG/MEDIUM: checks:
prevent TIME_WAITs from appearing also on timeouts), some valid health
checks sometimes used to show some TCP resets. For example, this HTTP
health check sent to a local server :

After some discussion with Chris Huang-Leaver, it appeared clear that
what we want is to only send the RST when we have no other choice, which
means when the server has not closed. So we still keep SYN/SYN-ACK/RST
for pure TCP checks, but don't want to see an RST emitted as above when
the server has already sent the FIN.
The solution against this consists in implementing a "drain" function at
the protocol layer, which, when defined, causes as much as possible of
the input socket buffer to be flushed to make recv() return zero so that
we know that the server's FIN was received and ACKed. On Linux, we can make
use of MSG_TRUNC on TCP sockets, which has the benefit of draining everything
at once without even copying data. On other platforms, we read up to one
buffer of data before the close. If recv() manages to get the final zero,
we don't disable lingering. Same for hard errors. Otherwise we do.
In practice, on HTTP health checks we generally find that the close was
pending and is returned upon first recv() call. The network trace becomes
cleaner :
19:55:23.650621 IP 127.0.0.1.16561 > 127.0.0.1.8000: S 3982804816:3982804816(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7>

This change should be backported to 1.4 which is where Chris encountered
this issue. The code is different, so probably the tcp_drain() function
will have to be put in the checks only.
The req.hdr and res.hdr fetch methods do not work well on headers which
are allowed to contain commas, such as User-Agent, Date or Expires.
More specifically, full-length matching is impossible if a comma is
present.
This patch introduces 4 new fetch functions which are designed to work
with these full-length headers :
- req.fhdr, req.fhdr_cnt
- res.fhdr, res.fhdr_cnt
These ones do not stop at commas and permit to return full-length header
values.
People who use "option dontlog-normal" are bothered with redirects and
stats being logged and reported as errors in the logs ("PR" = proxy
blocked the request).
This patch introduces a new flag 'L' for when a request is locally
processed, that is not considered as an error by the log filters. That
way we know a request was intercepted and processed by haproxy without
logging the line when "option dontlog-normal" is in effect.
Since 1.5-dev12 and commit 3bf1b2b8 (MAJOR: channel: stop relying on
BF_FULL to take action), the HTTP parser switched to channel_full()
instead of BF_FULL to decide whether a buffer had enough room to start
parsing a request or response. The problem is that channel_full()
intentionally ignores outgoing data, so a corner case exists where a
large response might still be left in a response buffer with just a
few bytes left (much less than the reserve), enough to accept a second
response past the last data, but not enough to permit the HTTP processor
to add some headers. Since all the processing relies on this space being
available, we can get some random crashes when clients pipeline requests.
The analysis of a core from haproxy configured with 20480 bytes buffers
shows this : with enough "luck", when sending back the response for the
first request, the client is slow, the TCP window is congested, the socket
buffers are full, and haproxy's buffer fills up. We still have 20230 bytes
of response data in a 20480 response buffer. The second request is sent to
the server which returns 214 bytes which fit in the small 250 bytes left
in this buffer. And the buffer arrangement makes it possible to escape all
the controls in http_wait_for_response() :
|<------ response buffer = 20480 bytes ------>|
[ 2/2 | 3 | 4 | 1/2 ]
^ start of circular buffer
1/2 = beginning of previous response (18240)
2/2 = end of previous response (1990)
3 = current response (214)
4 = free space (36)
- channel_full() returns false (20230 bytes are going to leave)
- the response headers does not wrap at the end of the buffer
- the remaining linear room after the headers is larger than the
reserve, because it's the previous response which wraps :
=> response is processed
Header rewriting causes it to reach 260 bytes, 10 bytes larger than what
the buffer could hold. So all computations during header addition are
wrong and lead to the corruption we've observed.
All the conditions are very hard to meet (which explains why it took
almost one year for this bug to show up) and are almost impossible to
reproduce on purpose on a test platform. But the bug is clearly there.
This issue was reported by Dinko Korunic who kindly devoted a lot of
time to provide countless traces and cores, and to experiment with
troubleshooting patches to knock the bug down. Thanks Dinko!
No backport is needed, but all 1.5-dev versions between dev12 and dev18
included must be upgraded. A workaround consists in setting option
forceclose to prevent pipelined requests from being processed.

the same time. Here we introduce track_sc3 to have this third counter.
It would be wise not to add much more counters because that slightly
increases the session size and processing time though the real issue
is more the declaration of the keywords in the code and in the doc.
By properly affecting the flags and values, it becomes easier to add
more tracked counters, for example for experimentation. It also slightly
reduces the code and the number of tests. No counters were added with
this patch.
FreeBSD uses (IPPROTO_IP, IP_BINDANY) and (IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_BINDANY)
to enable transparent proxy on a socket.
This patch adds support for the relevant setsockopt() calls.
This patch does not change the logic of the code, it only changes the
way OS-specific defines are tested.
At the moment the transparent proxy code heavily depends on Linux-specific
defines. This first patch introduces a new define "CONFIG_HAP_TRANSPARENT"
which is set every time the defines used by transparent proxy are present.
This also means that with an up-to-date libc, it should not be necessary
anymore to force CONFIG_HAP_LINUX_TPROXY during the build, as the flags
will automatically be detected.
The CTTPROXY flags still remain separate because this older API doesn't
work the same way.
A new line has been added in the version output for haproxy -vv to indicate
what transparent proxy support is available.
When freeing ACL regex, we don't want to perform the free() in regex_free()
as it's already performed in free_pattern(). The double free only happens
when using PCRE_JIT when freeing everything during exit so it's harmless
but exhibits libc errors during a reload/restart.

Improve the crt-list file format to allow a rule to negate a certain SNI :
<crtfile> [[!]<snifilter> ...]
This can be useful when a domain supports a wildcard but you don't want to
deliver the wildcard cert for certain specific domains.
This patch adds a "scope" box in the statistics page in order to

The scope filter is preserved across all clicks on the page.
Commit a4312fa2 merged into dev18 improved log-format management by
processing "log-format" and "unique-id-format" where they were declared,
so that the faulty args could be reported with their correct line numbers.
Unfortunately, the log-format parser considers the proxy mode (TCP/HTTP)
and now if the directive is set before the "mode" statement, it can be
rejected and report warnings.
So we really need to parse these directives at the end of a section at
least. Right now we do not have an "end of section" event, so we need
to store the file name and line number for each of these directives,
and take care of them at the end.
One of the benefits is that now the line numbers can be inherited from
the line passing "option httplog" even if it's in a defaults section.
Future improvements should be performed to report line numbers in every
log-format processed by the parser.
The ALPN extension is meant to replace the now deprecated NPN extension.
This patch implements support for it. It requires a version of openssl
with support for this extension. Patches are available here right now :

While ACL args were resolved after all the config was parsed, it was not the
case with sample fetch args because they're almost everywhere now.
The issue is that ACLs now solely rely on sample fetches, so their args
resolving doesn't work anymore. And many fetches involving a server, a
proxy or a userlist don't work at all.
The real issue is that at the bottom layers we have no information about
proxies, line numbers, even ACLs in order to report understandable errors,
and that at the top layers we have no visibility over the locations where
fetches are referenced (think log node).
After failing multiple unsatisfying solutions attempts, we now have a new
concept of args list. The principle is that every proxy has a list head
which contains a number of indications such as the config keyword, the
context where it's used, the file and line number, etc... and a list of
arguments. This list head is of the same type as the elements, so it
serves as a template for adding new elements. This way, it is filled from
top to bottom by the callers with the information they have (eg: line
numbers, ACL name, ...) and the lower layers just have to duplicate it and
add an element when they face an argument they cannot resolve yet.
Then at the end of the configuration parsing, a loop passes over each
proxy's list and resolves all the args in sequence. And this way there is
all necessary information to report verbose errors.
The first immediate benefit is that for the first time we got very precise
location of issues (arg number in a keyword in its context, ...). Second,
in order to do this we had to parse log-format and unique-id-format a bit
earlier, so that was a great opportunity for doing so when the directives
are encountered (unless it's a default section). This way, the recorded
line numbers for these args are the ones of the place where the log format
is declared, not the end of the file.
Userlists report slightly more information now. They're the only remaining
ones in the ACL resolving function.
The acl_expr struct used to hold a pointer to the ACL keyword. But since
we now have all the relevant pointers, we don't need that anymore, we just
need the pointer to the keyword as a string in order to return warnings
and error messages.
So let's change this in order to remove the dependency on the acl_keyword
struct from acl_expr.
During this change, acl_cond_kw_conflicts() used to return a pointer to an
ACL keyword but had to be changed to return a const char* for the same reason.
ACL expressions now support "-m" in addition to "-i" and "-f". This new
option is followed by the name of the pattern matching method to be used
on the extracted pattern. This makes it possible to reuse existing sample
fetch methods with other matching methods (eg: regex). A "found" matching
method ignores any pattern and only verifies that the required sample was
found (useful for cookies).
The ACLs now use the fetch's ->use and ->val to decide upon compatibility
between the place where they are used and where the information are fetched.
The code is capable of reporting warnings about very fine incompatibilities
between certain fetches and an exact usage location, so it is expected that
some new warnings will be emitted on some existing configurations.
Two degrees of detection are provided :
- detecting ACLs that never match
- detecting keywords that are ignored
All tests show that this seems to work well, though bugs are still possible.
Proxy's acl_requires was a copy of all bits taken from ACLs, but we'll
get rid of ACL flags and only rely on sample fetches soon. The proxy's
acl_requires was only used to allocate an HTTP context when needed, and
was even forced in HTTP mode. So better have a flag which exactly says
what it's supposed to be used for.
These hooks, which established the relation between ACL_USE_* and the location
where the ACL were used, were never used because they were superseded with the
sample capabilities. Remove them now.
ACL fetch being inherited from the sample fetch keyword, we don't need
anymore to specify what function to use to validate the fetch arguments.
Note that the job is still done in the ACL parsing code based on elements
from the sample fetch structs.
Now that ACLs solely rely on sample fetch functions, make them use the
same arg mask. All inconsistencies have been fixed separately prior to
this patch, so this patch almost only adds a new pointer indirection
and removes all references to ARG*() in the definitions.
The parsing is still performed by the ACL code though.
ACL fetch functions used to directly reference a fetch function. Now
that all ACL fetches have their sample fetches equivalent, we can make
ACLs reference a sample fetch keyword instead.
In order to simplify the code, a sample keyword name may be NULL if it
is the same as the ACL's, which is the most common case.
A minor change appeared, http_auth always expects one argument though
the ACL allowed it to be missing and reported as such afterwards, so
fix the ACL to match this. This is not really a bug.
The file acl.c is a real mess, it both contains functions to parse and
process ACLs, and some sample extraction functions which act on buffers.
Some other payload analysers were arbitrarily dispatched to proto_tcp.c.
So now we're moving all payload-based fetches and ACLs to payload.c
which is capable of extracting data from buffers and rely on everything
that is protocol-independant. That way we can safely inflate this file
and only use the other ones when some fetches are really specific (eg:
HTTP, SSL, ...).
As a result of this cleanup, the following new sample fetches became
available even if they're not really useful :
always_false, always_true, rep_ssl_hello_type, rdp_cookie_cnt,
req_len, req_ssl_hello_type, req_ssl_sni, req_ssl_ver, wait_end
The function 'acl_fetch_nothing' was wrong and never used anywhere so it
was removed.
The "rdp_cookie" sample fetch used to have a mandatory argument while it
was optional in ACLs, which are supposed to iterate over RDP cookies. So
we're making it optional as a fetch too, and it will return the first one.
If a log-format involves some sample fetches that may not be present at
the logging instant, we can now report a warning.
Note that this is done both for log-format and for add-header and carefully
respects the original fetch keyword's capabilities.
Samples fetches were relying on two flags SMP_CAP_REQ/SMP_CAP_RES to describe
whether they were compatible with requests rules or with response rules. This
was never reliable because we need a finer granularity (eg: an HTTP request
method needs to parse an HTTP request, and is available past this point).
Some fetches are also dependant on the context (eg: "hdr" uses request or
response depending where it's involved, causing some abiguity).
In order to solve this, we need to precisely indicate in fetches what they
use, and their users will have to compare with what they have.
So now we have a bunch of bits indicating where the sample is fetched in the
processing chain, with a few variants indicating for some of them if it is
permanent or volatile (eg: an HTTP status is stored into the transaction so
it is permanent, despite being caught in the response contents).
The fetches also have a second mask indicating their validity domain. This one
is computed from a conversion table at registration time, so there is no need
for doing it by hand. This validity domain consists in a bitmask with one bit
set for each usage point in the processing chain. Some provisions were made
for upcoming controls such as connection-based TCP rules which apply on top of
the connection layer but before instantiating the session.
Then everywhere a fetch is used, the bit for the control point is checked in
the fetch's validity domain, and it becomes possible to finely ensure that a
fetch will work or not.
Note that we need these two separate bitfields because some fetches are usable
both in request and response (eg: "hdr", "payload"). So the keyword will have
a "use" field made of a combination of several SMP_USE_* values, which will be
converted into a wider list of SMP_VAL_* flags.
The knowledge of permanent vs dynamic information has disappeared for now, as
it was never used. Later we'll probably reintroduce it differently when
dealing with variables. Its only use at the moment could have been to avoid
caching a dynamic rate measurement, but nothing is cached as of now.
This flag is used on ACL matches that support being looking up patterns
in trees. At the moment, only strings and IPs support tree-based lookups,
but the flag is randomly set also on integers and binary data, and is not
even always set on strings nor IPs.
Better get rid of this mess by only relying on the matching function to
decide whether or not it supports tree-based lookups, this is safer and
easier to maintain.
TCP Fast Open is supported in server mode since Linux 3.7, but current
libc's don't define TCP_FASTOPEN=23. Introduce the new USE flag USE_TFO
to define it manually in compat.h. Also note this in the TFO related
documentation.
Now that all addresses are parsed using str2sa_range(), it becomes easy
to add support for environment variables and use them everywhere an address
is needed. Environment variables are used as $VAR or ${VAR} as in shell.
Any number of variables may compose an address, allowing various fantasies
such as "fd@${FD_HTTP}" or "${LAN_DC1}.1:80".
These ones are usable in logs, bind, servers, peers, stats socket, source,
dispatch, and check address.
This change allows one to force the address family in any address parsed
by str2sa_range() by specifying it as a prefix followed by '@' then the
address. Currently supported address prefixes are 'ipv4@', 'ipv6@', 'unix@'.
This also helps forcing resolving for host names (when getaddrinfo is used),
and force the family of the empty address (eg: 'ipv4@' = 0.0.0.0 while
'ipv6@' = ::).
The main benefits is that unix sockets can now get a local name without
being forced to begin with a slash. This is useful during development as
it is no longer necessary to have stats socket sent to /tmp.
Don't use a statically allocated address both for str2ip and str2sa_range,
use the same. The inet and unix code paths have been splitted a little
better to improve readability.
We'll need str2sa_range() to support a prefix for unix sockets. Since
we don't always want to use it (eg: stats socket), let's not take it
unconditionally from global but let the caller pass it.
An invalid copy-paste called it NR_splice instead of NR_accept4.
This does not lead to real issues because if this define is used,
then the code cannot compile since NR_accept4 is still missing.
Add new tunable "tune.ssl.maxrecord".
Over SSL/TLS, the client can decipher the data only once it has received
a full record. With large records, it means that clients might have to
download up to 16kB of data before starting to process them. Limiting the
record size can improve page load times on browsers located over high
latency or low bandwidth networks. It is suggested to find optimal values
which fit into 1 or 2 TCP segments (generally 1448 bytes over Ethernet
with TCP timestamps enabled, or 1460 when timestamps are disabled), keeping
in mind that SSL/TLS add some overhead. Typical values of 1419 and 2859
gave good results during tests. Use "strace -e trace=write" to find the
best value.
This trick was first suggested by Mike Belshe :
http://www.belshe.com/2010/12/17/performance-and-the-tls-record-size/
Then requested again by Ilya Grigorik who provides some hints here :

Right now we have multiple methods for parsing IP addresses in the
configuration. This is quite painful. This patch aims at adapting
str2sa_range() to make it support all formats, so that the callers
perform the appropriate tests on the return values. str2sa() was
changed to simply return str2sa_range().
The output values are now the following ones (taken from the comment
on top of the function).
Converts <str> to a locally allocated struct sockaddr_storage *, and a port
range or offset consisting in two integers that the caller will have to
check to find the relevant input format. The following format are supported :
String format | address | port | low | high
addr | <addr> | 0 | 0 | 0
addr: | <addr> | 0 | 0 | 0
addr:port | <addr> | <port> | <port> | <port>
addr:pl-ph | <addr> | <pl> | <pl> | <ph>
addr:+port | <addr> | <port> | 0 | <port>
addr:-port | <addr> |-<port> | <port> | 0
The detection of a port range or increment by the caller is made by
comparing <low> and <high>. If both are equal, then port 0 means no port
was specified. The caller may pass NULL for <low> and <high> if it is not
interested in retrieving port ranges.
Note that <addr> above may also be :
- empty ("") => family will be AF_INET and address will be INADDR_ANY
- "*" => family will be AF_INET and address will be INADDR_ANY
- "::" => family will be AF_INET6 and address will be IN6ADDR_ANY
- a host name => family and address will depend on host name resolving.
Support for server side TFO was actually introduced in linux-3.7,
linux-3.6 just has client support.
This patch fixes documentation and a code comment about the
kernel requirement. It also fixes a wrong tfo related code
comment in src/proto_tcp.c.
Support a agent health check performed by opening a TCP socket to a
pre-defined port and reading an ASCII string. The string should have one of
the following forms:
* An ASCII representation of an positive integer percentage.
e.g. "75%"
Values in this format will set the weight proportional to the initial
weight of a server as configured when haproxy starts.
* The string "drain".
This will cause the weight of a server to be set to 0, and thus it will
not accept any new connections other than those that are accepted via
persistence.
* The string "down", optionally followed by a description string.
Mark the server as down and log the description string as the reason.
* The string "stopped", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as down (iii).
* The string "fail", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as down (iii).
A agent health check may be configured using "option lb-agent-chk".
The use of an alternate check-port, used to obtain agent heath check
information described above as opposed to the port of the service,
may be useful in conjunction with this option.
e.g.
option lb-agent-chk
server http1_1 10.0.0.10:80 check port 10000 weight 100

This corrects what appears to be logic errors in cut_crlf().

This patch adds a new option "-Ds" which is exactly like "-D", but instead of
forking n times to get n jobs running and then exiting, prefers to wait for all the
children it just created. With this done, haproxy becomes more systemd-compliant,
without changing anything for other systems.

Commit 2b0108ad accidently got rid of the ability to emit a "-" for
empty log fields. This can happen for captured request and response
cookies, as well as for fetches. Since we don't want to have this done
for headers however, we set the default log method when parsing the
format. It is still possible to force the desired mode using +M/-M.
This new option ensures that there is no possible fallback to a default
certificate if the client does not provide an SNI which is explicitly
handled by a certificate.
Commit 290e63aa moved the unix parameters out of the global stats socket
to the bind_conf struct. As such the stats admin level was also moved
overthere, but it remained in the stats global section where it was not
used, except by a nasty memcpy() used to initialize the ux struct in the
bind_conf with too large data. Fortunately, the extra data copied were
the previous level over the new level so it did not have any impact, but
it could have been worse.
This bug is 1.5 specific, no backport is needed.

When a frontend is rate-limited to 1000 connections per second, the
effective rate measured from the client is 999/s, and connections
experience an average response time of 99.5 ms with a standard
deviation of 2 ms.
The reason for this inaccuracy is that when computing frequency
counters, we use one part of the previous value proportional to the
number of milliseconds remaining in the current second. But even the
last millisecond still uses a part of the past value, which is wrong :
since we have a 1ms resolution, the last millisecond must be dedicated
only to filling the current second.
So we slightly adjust the algorithm to use 999/1000 of the past value
during the first millisecond, and 0/1000 of the past value during the
last millisecond. We also slightly improve the computation by computing
the remaining time instead of the current time in tv_update_date(), so
that we don't have to negate the value in each frequency counter.
Now with the fix, the connection rate measured by both the client and
haproxy is a steady 1000/s, the average response time measured is 99.2ms
and more importantly, the standard deviation has been divided by 3 to
0.6 millisecond.
This fix should also be backported to 1.4 which has the same issue.
The "reqtarpit" rule is not very handy to use. Now that we have more
flexibility with "http-request", let's finally make the tarpit rules
usable there.
There are still semantical differences between apply_filters_to_request()
and http_req_get_intercept_rule() because the former updates the counters
while the latter does not. So we currently have almost similar code leafs
for similar conditions, but this should be cleaned up later.
These are exactly the same as the classic redirect rules except
that they can be interleaved with other http-request rules for
more flexibility.
The redirect parser should probably be changed to stop at the condition
so that the caller puts its own condition pointer. At the moment, the
redirect rule and condition are parsed at once by build_redirect_rule()
and the condition is assigned to the http_req_rule.
We now have http_apply_redirect_rule() which does all the redirect-specific
job instead of having this inside http_process_req_common().
Also one of the benefit gained from uniformizing this code is that both
keep-alive and close response do emit the PR-- flags. The fix for the
flags could probably be backported to 1.4 though it's very minor.
The previous function http_perform_redirect() was becoming confusing
so it was renamed http_perform_server_redirect() since it only applies
to server-based redirection.
It happens that all of them call parse_logformat_line() which sets
proxy->to_log with a number of flags affecting the line format for
all three users. For example, having a unique-id specified disables
the default log-format since fe->to_log is tested when the session
is established.
Similarly, having "option logasap" will cause "+" to be inserted in
unique-id or headers referencing some of the fields depending on
LW_BYTES.
This patch first removes most of the dependency on fe->to_log whenever
possible. The first possible cleanup is to stop checking fe->to_log
for being null, considering that it always contains at least LW_INIT
when any such usage is made of the log-format!
Also, some checks are wrong. s->logs.logwait cannot be nulled by
"logwait &= ~LW_*" since LW_INIT is always there. This results in
getting the wrong log at the end of a request or session when a
unique-id or add-header is set, because logwait is still not null
but the log-format is not checked.
Further cleanups are required. Most LW_* flags should be removed or at
least replaced with what they really mean (eg: depend on client-side
connection, depend on server-side connection, etc...) and this should
only affect logging, not other mechanisms.
This patch fixes the default log-format and tries to limit interferences
between the log formats, but does not pretend to do more for the moment,
since it's the most visible breakage.
These two new statements allow to pass information extracted from the request
to the server. It's particularly useful for passing SSL information to the
server, but may be used for various other purposes such as combining headers
together to emulate internal variables.
These macros (U2H, U2A, LIM2A, ...) have been used with an explicit
index for the local storage variable, making it difficult to change
log formats and causing a few issues from time to time. Let's have
a single macro with a rotating index so that up to 10 conversions
may be used in a single call.
At the moment, we need trash chunks almost everywhere and the only
correctly implemented one is in the sample code. Let's move this to
the chunks so that all other places can use this allocator.
Additionally, the get_trash_chunk() function now really returns two
different chunks. Previously it used to always overwrite the same
chunk and point it to a different buffer, which was a bit tricky
because it's not obvious that two consecutive results do alias each
other.
The dumpstats code looks like a spaghetti plate. Several functions are
supposed to be able to do several things but rely on complex states to
dispatch the work to independant functions. Most of the HTML output is
performed within the switch/case statements of the whole state machine.
Let's clean this up by adding new functions to emit the data and have
a few more iterators to avoid relying on so complex states.
The new stats dump sequence looks like this for CLI and for HTTP :
cli_io_handler()
-> stats_dump_sess_to_buffer() // "show sess"
-> stats_dump_errors_to_buffer() // "show errors"
-> stats_dump_raw_info_to_buffer() // "show info"
-> stats_dump_raw_info()
-> stats_dump_raw_stat_to_buffer() // "show stat"
-> stats_dump_csv_header()
-> stats_dump_proxy()
-> stats_dump_px_hdr()
-> stats_dump_fe_stats()
-> stats_dump_li_stats()
-> stats_dump_sv_stats()
-> stats_dump_be_stats()
-> stats_dump_px_end()
http_stats_io_handler()
-> stats_http_redir()
-> stats_dump_http() // also emits the HTTP headers
-> stats_dump_html_head() // emits the HTML headers
-> stats_dump_csv_header() // emits the CSV headers (same as above)
-> stats_dump_http_info() // note: ignores non-HTML output
-> stats_dump_proxy() // same as above
-> stats_dump_http_end() // emits HTML trailer
Using %[expression] it becomes possible to make the log engine fetch
some samples from the request or the response and provide them in the
logs. Note that this feature is still limited, it does not yet allow
to apply converters, to limit the output length, nor to specify the
direction which should be fetched when a fetch function works in both
directions.
However it's quite convenient to log SSL information or to include some
information that are used in stick tables.
It is worth noting that this has been done in the generic log format
handler, which means that the same information may be used to build the
unique-id header and to pass the information to a backend server.
The log-format parser reached a limit making it hard to add new features.
It also suffers from a weak handling of certain incorrect corner cases,
for example "%{foo}" is emitted as a litteral while syntactically it's an
argument to no variable. Also the argument parser had to redo some of the
job with some cases causing minor memory leaks (eg: ignored args).
This work aims at improving the situation so that slightly better reporting
is possible and that it becomes possible to extend the log format. The code
has a few more states but looks significantly simpler. The parser is now
capable of reporting ignored arguments and truncated lines.
stream_int_chk_rcv_conn() did not clear connection flags before updating them. It
is unsure whether this could have caused the stalled transfers that have been
reported since dev15.
In order to avoid such further issues, we now use a simple inline function to do
all the job.
Looking at the assembly code that updt_fd() and alloc/release_spec_entry
produce in the polling loops, it's clear that gcc has to recompute pointers
several times in a row because of limited spare registers. By better
grouping adjacent structure updates, we improve the code size by around
60 bytes in the fast path on x86.
The stick counters were in two distinct sets of struct members,
causing some code to be duplicated. Now we use an array, which
enables some processing to be performed in loops. This allowed
the code to be shrunk by 700 bytes.
Until now it was only possible to use track-sc1/sc2 with "src" which
is the IPv4 source address. Now we can use track-sc1/sc2 with any fetch
as well as any transformation type. It works just like the "stick"
directive.
Samples are automatically converted to the correct types for the table.
Only "tcp-request content" rules may use L7 information, and such information
must already be present when the tracking is set up. For example it becomes
possible to track the IP address passed in the X-Forwarded-For header.
HTTP request processing now also considers tracking from backend rules
because we want to be able to update the counters even when the request
was already parsed and tracked.
Some more controls need to be performed (eg: samples do not distinguish
between L4 and L6).
Both servers and proxies share a common set of parameters for outgoing
connections, and since they're not stored in a similar structure, a lot
of code is duplicated in the connection setup, which is one sensible
area.
Let's first define a common struct for these settings and make use of it.
Next patches will de-duplicate code.
This change also fixes a build breakage that happens when USE_LINUX_TPROXY
is not set but USE_CTTPROXY is set, which seem to be very unlikely
considering that the issue was introduced almost 2 years ago an never
reported.
Sessions using client certs are huge (more than 1 kB) and do not fit
in session cache, or require a huge cache.
In this new implementation sshcachesize set a number of available blocks
instead a number of available sessions.
Each block is large enough (128 bytes) to store a simple session (without
client certs).
Huge sessions will take multiple blocks depending on client certificate size.
Note: some unused code for session sync with remote peers was temporarily
removed.
