Since commit f9ce57e ("MEDIUM: connection: make conn_sock_shutw() aware
of lingering"), we refrain from performing the shutw() on the socket if
there is no lingering risk. But there is a problem with this in tunnel
and in TCP modes where a client is explicitly allowed to send a shutw
to the server, eventhough it it risky.
Not doing it creates this situation reported by Ricardo Fraile and
diagnosed by Christopher : a typical HTTP client (eg: curl) connecting
via the config below to an HTTP server would receive its response,
immediately close while the server remains in keep-alive mode. The
shutr() received by haproxy from the client is "propagated" to the
server side but not acted upon because fdtab[fd].linger_risk is set,
so we expect that the next close will immediately complete this
operation.
listen proxy-tcp
bind 127.0.0.1:8888
mode tcp
timeout connect 5s
timeout server 10s
timeout client 10s
server server1 127.0.0.1:8000
But since the whole stream will not end until the server closes in
turn, the server doesn't close and haproxy expires on server timeout.
This problem has already struck by waking up an older bug and was
partially fixed with commit 8059351 ("BUG/MEDIUM: http: don't disable
lingering on requests with tunnelled responses") though it was not
enough.
The problem is that linger_risk is not suited here. In fact we need to
know whether or not it is desired to close normally or silently, and
whether or not a shutr() has already been received on this connection.
This is the approach this patch takes, and it solves the problem for
the various difficult modes (tcp, http-server-close, pretend-keepalive).
This fix needs to be backported to 1.8. Many thanks to Ricardo for
providing very detailed traces and configurations.
The new function check_request_for_cacheability() is used to check if
a request may be served from the cache, and/or allows the response to
be stored into the cache. For this it checks the cache-control and
pragma header fields, and adjusts the existing TX_CACHEABLE and a new
TX_CACHE_IGNORE flags.
For now, just like its response side counterpart, it only checks the
first value of the header field. These functions should be reworked to
improve their parsers and validate all elements.
By copying the info in the stream interface that the mux cleanly reports
aborts, we'll have the ability to check this flag wherever needed regardless
of the presence of a mux or not.
This new field will be used to describe certain properties of some
muxes. For now we only add MX_FL_CLEAN_ABRT to indicate that a mux
is able to unambiguously report aborts using CS_FL_ERROR contrary
to others who may only report it via a read0. This will be used to
improve handling of the abortonclose option with H2. Other flags
may come later to report multiplexing capabilities or not, support
of client/server sides etc.
For security reasons, the spoe filter was only able to change values of
existing variables. In specific cases (ex : with LUA code), the name of
variables are unknown at the configuration parsing phase.
The force-set-var option can be enabled to register all variables.
Due to the nature of multiplexed protocols, it will often happen that
some operations are only performed on full frames, preventing any partial
operation from being performed. HTTP/2 is one such example. The current
MUX API causes a problem here because the rcv_buf() function has no way
to let the stream layer know that some data could not be read due to a
lack of room in the buffer, but that data are definitely present. The
problem with this is that the stream layer might not know it needs to
call the function again after it has made some room. And if the frame
in the buffer is not followed by any other, nothing will move anymore.
This patch introduces a new conn_stream flag CS_FL_RCV_MORE whose purpose
is to indicate on the stream that more data than what was received are
already available for reading as soon as more room will be available in
the buffer.
This patch doesn't make use of this flag yet, it only declares it. It is
expected that other similar flags may come in the future, such as reports
of pending end of stream, errors or any such event that might save the
caller from having to poll, or simply let it know that it can take some
actions after having processed data.
The thread patches adds refcount for notifications. The notifications are
used with the Lua cosocket. These refcount free the notifications when
the session is cleared. In the Lua task case, it not have sessions, so
the nofications are never cleraed.
This patch adds a garbage collector for signals. The garbage collector
just clean the notifications for which the end point is disconnected.
This patch should be backported in 1.8
The number of async fd is computed considering the maxconn, the number
of sides using ssl and the number of engines using async mode.
This patch should be backported on haproxy 1.8
In hpack_dht_make_room(), we try to fulfill this rule form RFC7541#4.4 :
"It is not an error to attempt to add an entry that is larger than the
maximum size; an attempt to add an entry larger than the maximum size
causes the table to be emptied of all existing entries and results in
an empty table."
Unfortunately it is not consistent with the way it's used in
hpack_dht_insert() as this last one will consider a success as a
confirmation it can copy the header into the table, and a failure as
an indexing error. This results in the two following issues :
- if a client sends too large a header into an empty table, this
header may overflow the table. Fortunately, most clients send
small headers like :authority first, and never mark headers that
don't fit into the table as indexable since it is counter-productive ;
- if a client sends too large a header into a populated table, the
operation fails after the table is totally flushed and the request
is not processed.
This patch fixes the two issues at once :
- a header not fitting into an empty table is always a sign that it
will never fit ;
- not fitting into the table is not an error
Thanks to Yves Lafon for reporting detailed traces demonstrating this
issue. This fix must be backported to 1.8.
If the hpack decoder sees an invalid header index, it emits value
"### ERR ###" that was used during debugging instead of rejecting the
block. This is harmless, and was detected by h2spec.
To backport to 1.8.
This BUG was introduced with:
'MEDIUM: threads/stick-tables: handle multithreads on stick tables'
The API was reviewed to handle stick table entry updates
asynchronously and the caller must now call a 'stkable_touch_*'
function each time the content of an entry is modified to
register the entry to be synced.
There was missing call to stktable_touch_* resulting in
not propagated entries to remote peers (or local one during reload)
server.h needs checks.h since it references the struct check, but depending
on the include order it will fail if check.h is included first due to this
one including server.h in turn while it doesn't need it.

- BUILD: Makefile: reorder object files by size
pendconn_get_next_strm() is called from process_srv_queue() under the
server lock, and calls stream_add_srv_conn() with this lock held, while
the latter tries to take it again. This results in a deadlock when
a server's maxconn is reached and haproxy is built with thread support.
There are just a few pools, and they're stressed a lot, so it makes
sense to dedicate them a cache line to avoid contention and to place
the lock at the beginning.
The struct is not cache line aligned but at least, every time the lock
will appear in the same cache line as the fd it will benefit from being
accessed first. This improves the performance by about 2% on fd-intensive
workloads with 4 threads.
Commit 9dcf9b6 ("MINOR: threads: Use __decl_hathreads to declare locks")
accidently lost a few "extern" in certain lock declarations, possibly
causing certain entries to be declared at multiple places. Apparently
it hasn't caused any harm though.
The offending ones were :
- fdtab_lock
- fdcache_lock
- poll_lock
- buffer_wq_lock
This patch changes the behavior of the master during the exit of a
worker.
When a worker exits with an error code, for example in the case of a
segfault, all workers are now killed and the master leaves.
If you don't want this behavior you can use the option
"master-worker no-exit-on-failure".
During the migration to the second version of the pools, the new
functions and pool pointers were all called "pool_something2()" and
"pool2_something". Now there's no more pool v1 code and it's a real
pain to still have to deal with this. Let's clean this up now by
removing the "2" everywhere, and by renaming the pool heads
"pool_head_something".
Rename the global variable "proxy" to "proxies_list".
There's been multiple proxies in haproxy for quite some time, and "proxy"
is a potential source of bugs, a number of functions have a "proxy" argument,
and some code used "proxy" when it really meant "px" or "curproxy". It worked
by pure luck, because it usually happened while parsing the config, and thus
"proxy" pointed to the currently parsed proxy, but we should probably not
rely on this.
[wt: some of these are definitely fixes that are worth backporting]
It is now possible on a "bind" line (or a "stats socket" line) to specify the
thread set allowed to process listener's connections. For instance:
# HTTPS connections will be processed by all threads but the first and HTTP
# connection will be processed on the first thread.
bind *:80 process 1/1
bind *:443 ssl crt mycert.pem process 1/2-
Now, it is possible to bind CPU at the thread level instead of the process level
by defining a thread set in "cpu-map" directives. Thus, its format is now:
cpu-map [auto:]<process-set>[/<thread-set>] <cpu-set>...
where <process-set> and <thread-set> must follow the format:
all | odd | even | number[-[number]]
Having a process range and a thread range in same time with the "auto:" prefix
is not supported. Only one range is supported, the other one must be a fixed
number. But it is allowed when there is no "auto:" prefix.
Because it is possible to define a mapping for a process and another for a
thread on this process, threads will be bound on the intersection of their
mapping and the one of the process on which they are attached. If the
intersection is null, no specific binding will be set for the threads.
The prefix "auto:" can be added before the process set to let HAProxy
automatically bind a process to a CPU by incrementing process and CPU sets. To
be valid, both sets must have the same size. No matter the declaration order of
the CPU sets, it will be bound from the lower to the higher bound.
Examples:
# all these lines bind the process 1 to the cpu 0, the process 2 to cpu 1
# and so on.
cpu-map auto:1-4 0-3
cpu-map auto:1-4 0-1 2-3
cpu-map auto:1-4 3 2 1 0
# bind each process to exaclty one CPU using all/odd/even keyword
cpu-map auto:all 0-63
cpu-map auto:even 0-31
cpu-map auto:odd 32-63
# invalid cpu-map because process and CPU sets have different sizes.
cpu-map auto:1-4 0 # invalid
cpu-map auto:1 0-3 # invalid
The cache was relying on the txn->uri for creating its key, which was a
big problem when there was no log activated.
This patch does a sha1 of the host + uri, and stores it in the txn.
When a object is stored, the eb32node uses the first 32 bits of the hash
as a key, and the whole hash is stored in the cache entry.
During a lookup, the truncated hash is used, and when it matches an
entry we check the real sha1.
It can happen that we want to read early data, write some, and then continue
reading them.
To do so, we can't reuse tmp_early_data to store the amount of data sent,
so introduce a new member.
If we read early data, then ssl_sock_to_buf() is now the only responsible
for getting back to the handshake, to make sure we don't miss any early data.
This code has been used successfully a few times in the past to detect
that a pool was used after being freed. Its main goal is to allocate a
full page for each object so that they are always released individually
and unmapped from memory. This way if any part of the code reference the
object after is was freed and before it is reallocated, a segv occurs at
the exact offending location. It does a few extra things such as writing
to the memory area before freeing to detect double-frees and free of
read-only areas, and placing the data at the end of the page instead of
the beginning so that out of bounds accesses are easier to spot. The
amount of memory used with this is huge (about 10 times the regular
usage) but it can be useful sometimes.
Allows bigger objects to be cached in the shctx, the first
implementation was only storing small ssl session, but we want to store
bigger HTTP response.
The current H2 to H1 protocol conversion presents some issues which will
require to perform some processing on certain headers before writing them
so it's not possible to convert HPACK to H1 on the fly.
This commit modifies the headers decoding so that it now works in two
phases : hpack_decode_headers() only decodes the HPACK stream in the
HEADERS frame and puts the result into a list. Headers which require
storage (huffman-compressed or from the dynamic table) are stored in
a chunk allocated by the H2 demuxer. Then once the headers are properly
decoded into this list, h2_make_h1_request() is called with this list
to produce the HTTP/1.1 request into the destination buffer. The list
necessarily enforces a limit. Here we use 2*MAX_HTTP_HDR, which means
that we can have as many individual cookies as we have regular headers
if a client decides to break their cookies into multiple values. This
seams reasonable and will allow the H1 parser to decide whether it's
too much or not.
Thus the output stream is not produced on the fly anymore and this will
permit to deal with certain corner cases like reparing the Cookie header
(which for now is not done).
In order to limit header duplication and parsing, the known pseudo headers
continue to be passed by their index : the name element in the list then
has a NULL pointer and the value is the pseudo header's index. Given that
these ones represent about half of the incoming requests and need to be
found quickly, it maintains an acceptable level of performance.
The code was significantly reduced by doing this because the orignal code
had to deal with HPACK and H1 combinations (eg: index vs not indexed, etc)
and now the HPACK decoding is totally focused on the decompression, and
the H1 encoding doesn't have to deal with the issue of wrapping input for
example.
One bug was addressed here (though it couldn't happen at the moment). The
H2 demuxer used to detect a failure to write the request into the H1 buffer
and would then detect if the output buffer wraps, realign it and try again.
The problem by doing so was that the HPACK context was already modified and
not rewindable. Thus the size check is now performed first and a failure is
reported if it doesn't fit.
The current H2 to H1 protocol conversion presents some issues which will
require to perform some processing on certain headers before writing them
so it's not possible to convert HPACK to H1 on the fly.
Here we introduce a function which performs half of what hpack_decode_header()
used to do, which is to take a list of headers on input and emit the
corresponding request in HTTP/1.1 format. The code is the same and functions
were renamed to be prefixed with "h2" instead of "hpack", though it ends
up being simpler as the various HPACK-specific cases could be fused into
a single one (ie: add header).
Moving this part here makes a lot of sense as now this code is specific to
what is documented in HTTP/2 RFC 7540 and will be able to deal with special
cases related to H2 to H1 conversion enumerated in section 8.1.
Various error codes which were previously assigned to HPACK were never
used (aside being negative) and were all replaced by -1 with a comment
indicating what error was detected. The code could be further factored
thanks to this but this commit focuses on compatibility first.
This code is not yet used but builds fine.
While gcc only emits warnings about unused static functions, Clang also
emits such a warning when the functions are inlined. This is a bit
annoying at certain places where functions are provided to manipulate
multiple data types and are not yet used. Let's have a type modifier
"__maybe_unused" which sets the "unused" attribute like the Linux kernel
does. It's elegant as it allows the code author to indicate that it knows
that this element might be unused. It works on variables as well, which
is convenient to remove ifdefs around local variables in certain functions,
but doesn't work on labels.
[ plock commit 4c53fd3a0b2b1892817cebd0db012a52f4087850 ]
Pieter Baauw reported a build issue affecting haproxy after plock was
included. It happens that expressions of the form :
if ((const) ? (expr1) : (expr2))
do_something()
always produce code for both expr1 and expr2 on Clang when building
without optimization. The resulting asm code is even funny, basically
doing :
mov reg, 1
cmp reg, 1
...
This causes our sizeof() tests to fail to build because we purposely
dereference a fake function that reports the location and nature of the
inconsistency, but this fake function appears in the object code despite
all conditions being there to avoid it.
However the compiler is still smart enough to optimize away code doing
if (const)
do_something()
So we simply repeat the condition before do_something(), and the dummy
function is not referenced anymore unless really required.

There are a few inlines such as pl_barrier() and pl_cpu_relax() which
are used a lot. Unfortunately, while building test code at -O0, inlining
is disabled and these ones are called a lot and show up a lot in any
profile, are traced into when single-stepping with a debugger, etc, thus
they are polluting the landscape. Since they're single-asm statements,
there is no reason for not turning them into macros.
The result becomes fairly visible here at -O0 :
$ size latency.inline latency.macro
text data bss dec hex filename
11431 692 656 12779 31eb treelock.inline
10967 692 656 12315 301b treelock.macro
And it was verified that regularly optimized code remains strictly identical.

This patch adds support for `Type=notify` to the systemd unit.
Supporting `Type=notify` improves both starting as well as reloading
of the unit, because systemd will be let known when the action completed.
See this quote from `systemd.service(5)`:
> Note however that reloading a daemon by sending a signal (as with the
> example line above) is usually not a good choice, because this is an
> asynchronous operation and hence not suitable to order reloads of
> multiple services against each other. It is strongly recommended to

By making systemd aware of a reload in progress it is able to wait until
the reload actually succeeded.
This patch introduces both a new `USE_SYSTEMD` build option which controls
including the sd-daemon library as well as a `-Ws` runtime option which
runs haproxy in master-worker mode with systemd support.
When haproxy is running in master-worker mode with systemd support it will
send status messages to systemd using `sd_notify(3)` in the following cases:
- The master process forked off the worker processes (READY=1)
- The master process entered the `mworker_reload()` function (RELOADING=1)
- The master process received the SIGUSR1 or SIGTERM signal (STOPPING=1)
Change the unit file to specify `Type=notify` and replace master-worker
mode (`-W`) with master-worker mode with systemd support (`-Ws`).
Future evolutions of this feature could include making use of the `STATUS`
feature of `sd_notify()` to send information about the number of active
connections to systemd. This would require bidirectional communication
between the master and the workers and thus is left for future work.
Instead of storing the SSL_SESSION pointer directly in the struct server,
store the ASN1 representation, otherwise, session resumption is broken with
TLS 1.3, when multiple outgoing connections want to use the same session.
a bitfield has been added to know if there are runnable applets for a
thread. When an applet is woken up, the bits corresponding to its thread_mask
are set. When all active applets for a thread is get to be processed, the thread
is removed from active ones by unsetting its tid_bit from the bitfield.
a bitfield has been added to know if there are runnable tasks for a thread. When
a task is woken up, the bits corresponding to its thread_mask are set. When all
tasks for a thread have been evaluated without any wakeup, the thread is removed
from active ones by unsetting its tid_bit from the bitfield.
At the end of the master initialisation, a call to protocol_unbind_all()
was made, in order to close all the FDs.
Unfortunately, this function closes the inherited FDs (fd@), upon reload
the master wasn't able to reload a configuration with those FDs.
The create_listeners() function now store a flag to specify if the fd
was inherited or not.
Replace the protocol_unbind_all() by mworker_cleanlisteners() +
deinit_pollers()
Now we can show in dotted red the node being removed or surrounded in red
a node having been inserted, and add a description on the graph related to
the operation in progress for example.
b_alloc_margin is, strickly speeking, thread-safe. It will not crash
HAproxy. But its contract is not respected anymore in a multithreaded
environment. In this function, we need to be sure to have <margin> buffers
available in the pool after the allocation. So to have this guarantee, we must
lock the memory pool during all the operation. This also means, we must call
internal and lockless memory functions (prefixed with '__').
For the record, this patch fixes a pernicious bug happens after a soft reload
where some streams can be blocked infinitly, waiting for a buffer in the
buffer_wq list. This happens because, during a soft reload, pool_gc2 is called,
making some calls to b_alloc_fast fail.
This is specific to threads, no backport is needed.
This macro should be used to declare variables or struct members depending on
the USE_THREAD compile option. It avoids the encapsulation of such declarations
between #ifdef/#endif. It is used to declare all lock variables.
At a number of places, bitmasks are used for process affinity and to map
listeners to processes. Every time 1UL<<(relative_pid-1) is used. Let's
create a "pid_bit" variable corresponding to this value to clean this up.
In commit 53a4766 ("MEDIUM: connection: start to introduce a mux layer
between xprt and data") we introduced a release() function which ends
up never being used. Let's get rid of it now.
This small inline function causes some pain to the compiler when used
inside other functions due to its use of the unlikely() hint for non-digits.
It causes the letters to be processed far away in the calling function and
makes the code less efficient. Removing these unlikely() hints has increased
the chunk size parsing by around 5%.
The HTTP/1 code always has the reserve left available so the buffer is
never full there. But with HTTP/2 we have to deal with full buffers,
and it happens that the chunk size parser cannot tell the difference
between a full buffer and an empty one since it compares the start and
the stop pointer.
Let's change this to instead deal with the number of bytes left to process.
As a side effect, this code ends up being about 10% faster than the previous
one, even on HTTP/1.
When a write activity is reported on a channel, it is important to keep this
information for the stream because it take part on the analyzers' triggering.
When some data are written, the flag CF_WRITE_PARTIAL is set. It participates to
the task's timeout updates and to the stream's waking. It is also used in
CF_MASK_ANALYSER mask to trigger channels anaylzers. In the past, it was cleared
by process_stream. Because of a bug (fixed in commit 95fad5ba4 ["BUG/MAJOR:
stream-int: don't re-arm recv if send fails"]), It is now cleared before each
send and in stream_int_notify. So it is possible to loss this information when
process_stream is called, preventing analyzers to be called, and possibly
leading to a stalled stream.
Today, this happens in HTTP2 when you call the stat page or when you use the
cache filter. In fact, this happens when the response is sent by an applet. In
HTTP1, everything seems to work as expected.
To fix the problem, we need to make the difference between the write activity
reported to lower layers and the one reported to the stream. So the flag
CF_WRITE_EVENT has been added to notify the stream of the write activity on a
channel. It is set when a send succedded and reset by process_stream. It is also
used in CF_MASK_ANALYSER. finally, it is checked in stream_int_notify to wake up
a stream and in channel_check_timeouts.
This bug is probably present in 1.7 but it seems to have no effect. So for now,
no needs to backport it.
The H1 parser used by the H2 gateway was a bit lax and could validate
non-numbers in the status code. Since it computes the code on the fly
it's problematic, as "30:" is read as status code 310. Let's properly
check that it's a number now. No backport needed.
This adds a new keyword on the "server" line, "allow-0rtt", if set, we'll try
to send early data to the server, as long as the client sent early data, as
in case the server rejects the early data, we no longer have them, and can't
resend them, so the only option we have is to send back a 425, and we need
to be sure the client knows how to interpret it correctly.
The spin locks used to rely on W locks, which involve a loop waiting
for readers to leave, and this doesn't happen here. It's more efficient
to use S locks instead, which are also mutually exclusive and do not
have this loop. This saves one test per spinlock and a few tens of
bytes allowing certain functions to be inlined.
Currently the task scheduler suffers from an O(n) lookup when
skipping tasks that are not for the current thread. The reason
is that eb32_lookup_ge() has no information about the current
thread so it always revisits many tasks for other threads before
finding its own tasks.
This is particularly visible with HTTP/2 since the number of
concurrent streams created at once causes long series of tasks
for the same stream in the scheduler. With only 10 connections
and 100 streams each, by running on two threads, the performance
drops from 640kreq/s to 11.2kreq/s! Lookup metrics show that for
only 200000 task lookups, 430 million skips had to be performed,
which means that on average, each lookup leads to 2150 nodes to
be visited.
This commit backports the principle of scope lookups for ebtrees
from the ebtree_v7 development tree. The idea is that each node
contains a mask indicating the union of the scopes for the nodes
below it, which is fed during insertion, and used during lookups.
Then during lookups, branches that do not contain any leaf matching
the requested scope are simply ignored. This perfectly matches a
thread mask, allowing a thread to only extract the tasks it cares
about from the run queue, and to always find them in O(log(n))
instead of O(n). Thus the scheduler uses tid_bit and
task->thread_mask as the ebtree scope here.
Doing this has recovered most of the performance, as can be seen on
the test below with two threads, 10 connections, 100 streams each,
and 1 million requests total :
Before After Gain
test duration : 89.6s 4.73s x19
HTTP requests/s (DEBUG) : 11200 211300 x19
HTTP requests/s (PROD) : 15900 447000 x28
spin_lock time : 85.2s 0.46s /185
time per lookup : 13us 40ns /325
Even when going to 6 threads (on 3 hyperthreaded CPU cores), the
performance stays around 284000 req/s, showing that the contention
is much lower.
A test showed that there's no benefit in using this for the wait queue
though.
The __appctx_wakeup() function already does it. It matters with threads
enabled because it simplifies the code in appctx_res_wakeup() to get rid
of this test.
unbind_listener() takes the listener lock, which is already held by
enable_listener(). This situation happens when starting with nbproc > 1
with some bind lines limited to a certain process, because in this case
enable_listener() tries to stop unneeded listeners.
This commit introduces __do_unbind_listeners() which must be called with
the lock held, and makes enable_listener() use this one. Given that the
only return code has never been used and that it starts to make the code
more complicated to propagate it before throwing it to the trash, the
function's return type was changed to void.
This function incorrectly dealt with the case where data doesn't
wrap but lies at the end of the buffer, resulting in Lukas' reported
data corruption with HTTP/2. No backport is needed, it was introduced
for HTTP/2 in 1.8-dev.
For now it only supports literals and a bit of static header table
references for the 9 most common header field names (date, server,
content-type, content-length, last-modified, accept-ranges, etag,
cache-control, location).
A previous incarnation of this commit used to strip the forbidden H2
header names (connection, proxy-connection, upgrade, transfer-encoding,
keep-alive) but this is no longer the case as this filtering is irrelevant
to HPACK encoding and is specific to H2, so this will have to be done by
the caller.
It's quite not optimal but works fine enough to prepare some valid and
partially compressed responses during development.
The decoder is now fully functional. It makes use of the dynamic header
table. Dynamic header table size updates are currently ignored, as our
initially advertised value is the highest we support. Strictly speaking,
the impact is that a client referencing a header field after such an
update wouldn't observe an error instead of the connection being dropped
if it was implemented.
Decoded header fields are copied into a target buffer in HTTP/1 format
using HTTP/1.1 as the version. The Host header field is automatically
appended if a ":authority" header field is present.
All decoded header fields can be displayed if the file is compiled with
DEBUG_HPACK.
This code deals with header insertion, retrieval and eviction, as well
as with dynamic header table defragmentation. It is functional for use
as a decoder and was heavily tested in this context. There's still some
room for optimization (eg: the defragmentation code currently does it
in place using a memcpy).
Also for now the dynamic header table is allocated using malloc() while
a pool needs to be created instead.
This code was mostly imported from https://github.com/wtarreau/http2-exp
with "hpack_" prepended in front of most names to avoid risks of conflicts.
Some small cleanups and renamings were applied during the import. This
version must be considered more recent.
Some HPACK error codes were placed here (HPACK_ERR_*), not exactly because
they're needed by the decoder but they'll be needed by all callers. Maybe
a different location should be found.
The code was borrowed from the HPACK experimental implementations
available here :
https://github.com/wtarreau/http2-exp
It contains the Huffman table as specified in RFC7541 Appendix B, and a
set of reverse tables used to decode a Huffman byte stream, and produced
by contrib/h2/gen-rht. The encoder is not finalized, it doesn't emit the
byte stream but this is not needed for now.
This callback will be used to release upper layers when a mux is in
use. Given that the mux can be asynchronously deleted, we need a way
to release the extra information such as the session.
This callback will be called directly by the mux upon releasing
everything and before the connection itself is released, so that
the callee can find its information inside the connection if needed.
The way it currently works is not perfect, and most likely this should
instead become a mux release callback, but for now we have no easy way
to add mux-specific stuff, and since there's one mux per connection,
it works fine this way.
For H2, only the mux's timeout or other conditions might cause a
release of the mux and the connection, no stream should be allowed
to kill such a shared connection. So a stream will only detach using
cs_destroy() which will call mux->detach() then free the cs.
For now it's only handled by mux_pt. The goal is that the data layer
never has to care about the connection, which will have to be released
depending on the mux's mood.
This basically calls cs_shutw() followed by cs_shutr(). Both of them
are called in the most conservative mode so that any previous call is
still respected. The CS flags are cleared so that it can be reused
(this is important for connection retries when conn and CS are reused
without being reallocated).
In order to support all shutdown modes on the CS, we introduce the
following flags :
CS_FL_SHRD : shut read, drain extra data
CS_FL_SHRR : shut read, reset extra data
CS_FL_SHWN : shut write, normal notification
CS_FL_SHWS : shut write, silent mode (no notification)
And the following modes for shutr/shutw :
CS_SHR_DRAIN, CS_SHR_RESET, CS_SHW_NORMAL, CS_SHW_SILENT.
Note: it's possible that we won't need to distinguish the two shutw
above as they're only an action.
For now they are not used.
All the references to connections in the data path from streams and
stream_interfaces were changed to use conn_streams. Most functions named
"something_conn" were renamed to "something_cs" for this. Sometimes the
connection still is what matters (eg during a connection establishment)
and were not always renamed. The change is significant and minimal at the
same time, and was quite thoroughly tested now. As of this patch, all
accesses to the connection from upper layers go through the pass-through
mux.
Most of the functions dealing with conn_streams are here. They act at
the data layer and interact with the mux. For now they are not used yet
but everything builds.
This patch introduces a new struct conn_stream. It's the stream-side of
a multiplexed connection. A pool is created and destroyed on exit. For
now the conn_streams are not used at all.
When an incoming connection is made on an HTTP mode frontend, the
session now looks up the mux to use based on the ALPN token and the
proxy mode. This will allow easier mux registration, and we don't
need to hard-code the mux_pt_ops anymore.
Selecting a mux based on ALPN and the proxy mode will quickly become a
pain. This commit provides new functions to register/lookup a mux based
on the ALPN string and the proxy mode to make this easier. Given that
we're not supposed to support a wide range of muxes, the lookup should
not have any measurable performance impact.
For HTTP/2 and QUIC, we'll need to deal with multiplexed streams inside
a connection. After quite a long brainstorming, it appears that the
connection interface to the existing streams is appropriate just like
the connection interface to the lower layers. In fact we need to have
the mux layer in the middle of the connection, between the transport
and the data layer.
A mux can exist on two directions/sides. On the inbound direction, it
instanciates new streams from incoming connections, while on the outbound
direction it muxes streams into outgoing connections. The difference is
visible on the mux->init() call : in one case, an upper context is already
known (outgoing connection), and in the other case, the upper context is
not yet known (incoming connection) and will have to be allocated by the
mux. The session doesn't have to create the new streams anymore, as this
is performed by the mux itself.
This patch introduces this and creates a pass-through mux called
"mux_pt" which is used for all new connections and which only
calls the data layer's recv,send,wake() calls. One incoming stream
is immediately created when init() is called on the inbound direction.
There should not be any visible impact.
Note that the connection's mux is purposely not set until the session
is completed so that we don't accidently run with the wrong mux. This
must not cause any issue as the xprt_done_cb function is always called
prior to using mux's recv/send functions.
This is needed in the H2->H1 gateway so that we know how long the trailers
block is in chunked encoding. It returns the number of bytes, or 0 if some
are missing, or -1 in case of parse error.
It was a leftover from the last cleaning session; this mask applies
to threads and calling it process_mask is a bit confusing. It's the
same in fd, task and applets.
srv_set_fqdn() may be called with the DNS lock already held, but tries to
lock it anyway. So, add a new parameter to let it know if it was already
locked or not;
Commit 819fc6f ("MEDIUM: threads/stick-tables: handle multithreads on
stick tables") introduced a valid warning about an uninitialized return
value in stksess_kill_if_expired(). It just happens that this result is
never used, so let's turn the function back to void as previously.
The wrong bit was set to keep the lock on freq counter update. And the read
functions were re-worked to use volatile.
Moreover, when a freq counter is updated, it is now rotated only if the current
counter is in the past (now.tv_sec > ctr->curr_sec). It is important with
threads because the current time (now) is thread-local. So, rounded to the
second, the time may vary by more or less 1 second. So a freq counter rotated by
one thread may be see 1 second in the future. In this case, it is updated but
not rotated.
There was a flaw in the way the threads was created. the main one was just used
to create all the others and just wait to exit. Now, it is used to run a poll
loop. So we only create nbthread-1 threads.
This also fixes a bug about the compression filter when there is only 1 thread
(nbthread == 1 or no threads support). The bug was in the way thread-local
resources was initialized. per-thread init/deinit callbacks were never called
for the main process. So, with nthread set to 1, some buffers remained
uninitialized.
By default, no affinity is set for threads. To bind threads on CPU, you must
define a "thread-map" in the global section. The format is the same than the
"cpu-map" parameter, with a small difference. The process number must be
defined, with the same format than cpu-map ("all", "even", "odd" or a number
between 1 and 31/63).
A thread will be bound on the intersection of its mapping and the one of the
process on which it is attached. If the intersection is null, no specific bind
will be set for the thread.
Because there is not migration mechanism yet, all runtime information about an
SPOE agent are thread-local and async exchanges with agents are disabled when we
have serveral threads. Howerver, pipelining is still available. So for now, the
thread part of the SPOE is pretty simple.
We have two y for nsuring that the data is not concurently manipulated:
- locks
- running task on the same thread.
locks are expensives, it is better to avoid it.
This patch cecks that the Lua task run on the same thread that
the stream associated to the coprocess.
TODO: in a next version, the error should be replaced by a yield
and thread migration request.
Note that the Lua processing is not really thread safe. It provides
heavy system which consists to add our own lock function in the Lua
code and recompile the library. This system will probably not accepted
by maintainers of various distribs.
Our main excution point of the Lua is the function lua_resume(). A
quick looking on the Lua sources displays a lua_lock() a the start
of function and a lua_unlock() at the end of the function. So I
conclude that the Lua thread safe mode just perform a mutex around
all execution. So I prefer to do this in the HAProxy code, it will be
easier for distro maintainers.
Note that the HAProxy lua functions rounded by the macro SET_SAFE_LJMP
and RESET_SAFE_LJMP manipulates the Lua stack, so it will be careful
to set mutex around these functions.
Now, it is possible to define init_per_thread and deinit_per_thread callbacks to
deal with ressources allocation for each thread.
This is the filter responsibility to deal with concurrency. This is also the
filter responsibility to know if HAProxy is started with some threads. A good
way to do so is to check "global.nbthread" value. If it is greater than 1, then
_per_thread callbacks will be called.
A RW lock has been added to the vars structure to protect each list of
variables. And a global RW lock is used to protect registered names.
When a varibable is fetched, we duplicate sample data because the variable could
be modified by another thread.
When a frequency counter must be updated, we use the curr_sec/curr_tick fields
as a lock, by setting the MSB to 1 in a compare-and-swap to lock and by reseting
it to unlock. And when we need to read it, we loop until the counter is
unlocked. This way, the frequency counters are thread-safe without any external
lock. It is important to avoid increasing the size of many structures (global,
proxy, server, stick_table).
locks have been added in pat_ref and pattern_expr structures to protect all
accesses to an instance of on of them. Moreover, a global lock has been added to
protect the LRU cache used for pattern matching.
Patterns are now duplicated after a successfull matching, to avoid modification
by other threads when the result is used.
Finally, the function reloading a pattern list has been modified to be
thread-safe.
First, OpenSSL is now initialized to be thread-safe. This is done by setting 2
callbacks. The first one is ssl_locking_function. It handles the locks and
unlocks. The second one is ssl_id_function. It returns the current thread
id. During the init step, we create as much as R/W locks as needed, ie the
number returned by CRYPTO_num_locks function.
Next, The reusable SSL session in the server context is now thread-local.
Shctx is now also initialized if HAProxy is started with several threads.
And finally, a global lock has been added to protect the LRU cache used to store
generated certificates. The function ssl_sock_get_generated_cert is now
deprecated because the retrieved certificate can be removed by another threads
in same time. Instead, a new function has been added,
ssl_sock_assign_generated_cert. It must be used to search a certificate in the
cache and set it immediatly if found.
A lock is used to protect accesses to a peer structure.
A the lock is taken in the applet handler when the peer is identified
and released living the applet handler.
In the scheduling task for peers section, the lock is taken for every
listed peer and released at the end of the process task function.
The peer 'force shutdown' function was also re-worked.
A global lock has been added to protect accesses to the list of active
applets. A process mask has also been added on each applet. Like for FDs and
tasks, it is used to know which threads are allowed to process an
applet. Because applets are, most of time, linked to a session, it should be
sticky on the same thread. But in all cases, it is the responsibility of the
applet handler to lock what have to be protected in the applet context.
This is done by passing the right stream's proxy (the frontend or the backend,
depending on the context) to lock the error snapshot used to store the error
info.
The stick table API was slightly reworked:
A global spin lock on stick table was added to perform lookup and
insert in a thread safe way. The handling of refcount on entries
is now handled directly by stick tables functions under protection
of this lock and was removed from the code of callers.
The "stktable_store" function is no more externalized and users should
now use "stktable_set_entry" in any case of insertion. This last one performs
a lookup followed by a store if not found. So the code using "stktable_store"
was re-worked.
Lookup, and set_entry functions automatically increase the refcount
of the returned/stored entry.
The function "sticktable_touch" was renamed "sticktable_touch_local"
and is now able to decrease the refcount if last arg is set to true. It
is allowing to release the entry without taking the lock twice.
A new function "sticktable_touch_remote" is now used to insert
entries coming from remote peers at the right place in the update tree.
The code of peer update was re-worked to use this new function.
This function is also able to decrease the refcount if wanted.
The function "stksess_kill" also handle a parameter to decrease
the refcount on the entry.
A read/write lock is added on each entry to protect the data content
updates of the entry.
A lock for LB parameters has been added inside the proxy structure and atomic
operations have been used to update server variables releated to lb.
The only significant change is about lb_map. Because the servers status are
updated in the sync-point, we can call recalc_server_map function synchronously
in map_set_server_status_up/down function.
This list is used to save changes on the servers state. So when serveral threads
are used, it must be locked. The changes are then applied in the sync-point. To
do so, servers_update_status has be moved in the sync-point. So this is useless
to lock it at this step because the sync-point is a protected area by iteself.
For now, we have a list of each type per thread. So there is no need to lock
them. This is the easiest solution for now, but not the best one because there
is no sharing between threads. An idle connection on a thread will not be able
be used by a stream on another thread. So it could be a good idea to rework this
patch later.
Now, each proxy contains a lock that must be used when necessary to protect
it. Moreover, all proxy's counters are now updated using atomic operations.
First, we use atomic operations to update jobs/totalconn/actconn variables,
listener's nbconn variable and listener's counters. Then we add a lock on
listeners to protect access to their information. And finally, listener queues
(global and per proxy) are also protected by a lock. Here, because access to
these queues are unusal, we use the same lock for all queues instead of a global
one for the global queue and a lock per proxy for others.
2 global locks have been added to protect, respectively, the run queue and the
wait queue. And a process mask has been added on each task. Like for FDs, this
mask is used to know which threads are allowed to process a task.
For many tasks, all threads are granted. And this must be your first intension
when you create a new task, else you have a good reason to make a task sticky on
some threads. This is then the responsibility to the process callback to lock
what have to be locked in the task context.
Nevertheless, all tasks linked to a session must be sticky on the thread
creating the session. It is important that I/O handlers processing session FDs
and these tasks run on the same thread to avoid conflicts.
Many changes have been made to do so. First, the fd_updt array, where all
pending FDs for polling are stored, is now a thread-local array. Then 3 locks
have been added to protect, respectively, the fdtab array, the fd_cache array
and poll information. In addition, a lock for each entry in the fdtab array has
been added to protect all accesses to a specific FD or its information.
For pollers, according to the poller, the way to manage the concurrency is
different. There is a poller loop on each thread. So the set of monitored FDs
may need to be protected. epoll and kqueue are thread-safe per-se, so there few
things to do to protect these pollers. This is not possible with select and
poll, so there is no sharing between the threads. The poller on each thread is
independant from others.
Finally, per-thread init/deinit functions are used for each pollers and for FD
part for manage thread-local ressources.
Now, you must be carefull when a FD is created during the HAProxy startup. All
update on the FD state must be made in the threads context and never before
their creation. This is mandatory because fd_updt array is thread-local and
initialized only for threads. Because there is no pollers for the main one, this
array remains uninitialized in this context. For this reason, listeners are now
enabled in run_thread_poll_loop function, just like the worker pipe.
log buffers and static variables used in log functions are now thread-local. So
there is no need to lock anything to log messages. Moreover, per-thread
init/deinit functions are now used to initialize these buffers.
A sync-point is a protected area where you have the warranty that no concurrency
access is possible. It is implementated as a thread barrier to enter in the
sync-point and another one to exit from it. Inside the sync-point, all threads
that must do some syncrhonous processing will be called one after the other
while all other threads will wait. All threads will then exit from the
sync-point at the same time.
A sync-point will be evaluated only when necessary because it is a costly
operation. To limit the waiting time of each threads, we must have a mechanism
to wakeup all threads. This is done with a pipe shared by all threads. By
writting in this pipe, we will interrupt all threads blocked on a poller. The
pipe is then flushed before exiting from the sync-point.
hap_register_per_thread_init and hap_register_per_thread_deinit functions has
been added to register functions to do, for each thread, respectively, some
initialization and deinitialization. These functions are added in the global
lists per_thread_init_list and per_thread_deinit_list.
These functions are called only when HAProxy is started with more than 1 thread
(global.nbthread > 1).
This file contains all functions and macros used to deal with concurrency in
HAProxy. It contains all high-level function to do atomic operation
(HA_ATOMIC_*). Note, for now, we rely on "__atomic" GCC builtins to do atomic
operation. So HAProxy can be compiled with the thread support iff these builtins
are available.
It also contains wrappers around plocks to use spin or read/write locks. These
wrappers are used to abstract the internal representation of the locking system
and to add information to help debugging, when compiled with suitable
options.
To add extra info on locks, you need to add DEBUG=-DDEBUG_THREAD or
DEBUG=-DDEBUG_FULL compilation option. In addition to timing info on locks, we
keep info on where a lock was acquired the last time (function name, file and
line). There are also the thread id and a flag to know if it is still locked or
not. This will be useful to debug deadlocks.
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.
