This way we are sure the channel state is always correctly upadated, especially
the amount of data directly forwarded. For the stats applet, it is not a bug
because the fast forwarding is never used (the response is chunked and the HTX
extra field is always set to 0).
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
This function must be called when new incoming data are pushed in the channel's
buffer. It updates the channel state and take care of the fast forwarding by
consuming right amount of data and decrementing "->to_forward" accordingly when
necessary. In fact, this patch just moves a part of ci_putblk in a dedicated
function.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
With the new ability to log to a terminal, it's convenient to be able
to use "log stdout" in a config file, except that it now results in
setting the terminal to non-blocking mode, breaking every utility
relying on stdin afterwards. Since the only reason for logging to a
terminal is to debug, do not set the FD to non-blocking mode when it's
a terminal.
This fix must be backported to 1.9.
Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN, RFC7301) is a TLS
extension which allows a client to present a preference for which
protocols it wishes to connect to, when a single port supports multiple
multiple application protocols.
It allows a transparent proxy to take a decision based on the beginning
of an SSL/TLS stream without deciphering it.
The new fetch "req.ssl_alpn" extracts the ALPN protocol names that may
be present in the ClientHello message.
Instead of keeping track of the number of connections we're responsible for,
keep track of the number of connections we're responsible for that we are
currently considering idling (ie that we are not using, they may be in use
by other sessions), that way we can actually reuse connections when we have
more connections than the max configured.
When connecting to a server, and reusing a connection, always attempt to give
the owner of the previous session one of its own connections, so that one
session won't be responsible for too many connections.
This should be backported to 1.9.
When creating a new outgoing connection, if we're using ALPN and waiting
for the handshake completion to choose the mux, and for some reason the
handshake failed, add the SI_FL_ERR flag to the stream_interface, so that
process_streams() knows the connection failed, and can attempt to retry,
instead of just hanging.
This should be backported to 1.9.
When a session adds a connection to its connection list, we used to remove
connections for an another server if there were not enough room for our
server. This can't work, because those lists are now the list of connections
we're responsible for, not just the idle connections.
To fix this, allow for an unlimited number of servers, instead of using
an array, we're now using a linked list.
To access the first element of the list, correctly use LIST_ELEM(), or we
end up getting the head of the list, instead of getting the first connection.
This should be backported to 1.9.
In connect_server(), if we looked for an usable connection and failed to
find one, srv_conn won't be NULL at the end of list_for_each_entry(), but
will point to the head of a list, which is not a pointer to a struct
connection, so explicitely set it to NULL.
This should be backported to 1.9.
If, for some reason we failed to allocate a conn_stream when reusing an
existing connection, set srv_conn to NULL, so that we fail later, instead
of pretending all is right. This ends up giving a stream_interface with
no endpoint, and so the stream will never end.
This should be backported to 1.9.
In h2_detach(), don't add the connection to the idle list if nb_streams
is at the max. This can happen if we already closed that stream before, so
its slot became available and was used by another stream.
This should be backported to 1.9.
When we use htx and http-request auth rules, we need to send WWW-Authenticate
with a 401 and Proxy-Authenticate with a 407. We only sent Proxy-Authenticate
regardless of status, with htx enabled.
To be backported to 1.9.
In connect_server(), don't attempt to reuse the old connection if it's
targetting a different server than the one we're supposed to access, or
we will never be able to connect to a server if the first one we tried failed.
This should be backported to 1.9.
Now that the HEADERS frame decoding is retryable, we can safely try to
fold CONTINUATION frames into a HEADERS frame when the END_OF_HEADERS
flag is missing. In order to do this, h2c_decode_headers() moves the
frames payloads in-situ and leaves a hole that is plugged when leaving
the function. There is no limit to the number of CONTINUATION frames
handled this way provided that all of them fit into the buffer. The
error reported when meeting isolated CONTINUATION frames has now changed
from INTERNAL_ERROR to PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Now there is only one (unrelated) remaining failure in h2spec.
This function will be used to move parts of a buffer to another place
in the same buffer, even if the parts overlap. In order to keep things
under reasonable control, it only uses a length and absolute offsets
for the source and destination, and doesn't consider head nor data.
The H2 demux only checks for too many streams in h2c_frt_stream_new(),
then refuses to create a new stream and causes the connection to be
aborted by sending a GOAWAY frame. This will also happen if any error
happens during the stream creation (e.g. memory allocation).
RFC7540#5.1.2 says that attempts to create streams in excess should
instead be dealt with using an RST_STREAM frame conveying either the
PROTOCOL_ERROR or REFUSED_STREAM reason (the latter being usable only
if it is guaranteed that the stream was not processed). In theory it
should not happen for well behaving clients, though it may if we
configure a low enough h2.max_concurrent_streams limit. This error
however may definitely happen on memory shortage.
Previously it was not possible to use RST_STREAM due to the fact that
the HPACK decompressor would be desynchronized. But now we first decode
and only then try to allocate the stream, so the decompressor remains
synchronized regardless of policy or resources issues.
With this patch we enforce stream termination with RST_STREAM and
REFUSED_STREAM if this protocol violation happens, as well as if there
is a temporary condition like a memory allocation issue. It will allow
a client to recover cleanly.
This could possibly be backported to 1.9. Note that this requires that
these five previous patches are merged as well :
MINOR: h2: add a bit-based frame type representation
MEDIUM: mux-h2: remove padlen during headers phase
MEDIUM: mux-h2: decode HEADERS frames before allocating the stream
MINOR: mux-h2: make h2c_send_rst_stream() use the dummy stream's error code
MINOR: mux-h2: add a new dummy stream for the REFUSED_STREAM error code
This patch introduces a new dummy stream, h2_refused_stream, in CLOSED
status with the aforementioned error code. It will be usable to reject
unexpected extraneous streams.
We currently have 2 dummy streams allowing us to send an RST_STREAM
message with an error code matching this one. However h2c_send_rst_stream()
still enforces the STREAM_CLOSED error code for these dummy streams,
ignoring their respective errcode fields which however are properly
set.
Let's make the function always use the stream's error code. This will
allow to create other dummy streams for different codes.
It's hard to recover from a HEADERS frame decoding error after having
already created the stream, and it's not possible to recover from a
stream allocation error without dropping the connection since we can't
maintain the HPACK context, so let's decode it before allocating the
stream, into a temporary buffer that will then be offered to the newly
created stream.
Three types of frames may be padded : DATA, HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE.
Currently, each of these independently deals with padding and needs to
wait for and skip the initial padlen byte. Not only this complicates
frame processing, but it makes it very hard to process CONTINUATION
frames after a padded HEADERS frame, and makes it complicated to perform
atomic calls to h2s_decode_headers(), which are needed if we want to be
able to maintain the HPACK decompressor's context even when dropping
streams.
This patch takes a different approach : the padding is checked when
parsing the frame header, the padlen byte is waited for and parsed,
and the dpl value is updated with this padlen value. This will allow
the frame parsers to decide to overwrite the padding if needed when
merging adjacent frames.
Since commit f210191 ("BUG/MEDIUM: h2: don't accept new streams if
conn_streams are still in excess") we're refraining from reading input
frames if we've reached the limit of number of CS. The problem is that
it prevents such situations from working fine. The initial purpose was
in fact to prevent from reading new HEADERS frames when this happens,
and causes some occasional transfer hiccups and pauses with large
concurrencies.
Given that we now properly reject extraneous streams before checking
this value, we can be sure never to have too many streams, and that
any higher value is only caused by a scheduling reason and will go
down after the scheduler calls the code.
This fix must be backported to 1.9 and possibly to 1.8. It may be
tested using h2spec this way with an h2spec config :
while :; do
h2spec -o 5 -v -t -S -k -h 127.0.0.1 -p 4443 http2/5.1.2
done
We were returning a stream error of type PROTOCOL_ERROR on empty HEADERS
frames, but RFC7540#4.2 stipulates that we should instead return a
connection error of type FRAME_SIZE_ERROR.
This may be backported to 1.9 and 1.8 though it's unlikely to have any
real life effect.
These ones are not needed anymore since commit 97aaa67 ("MINOR: mux-h2:
only increase the connection window with the first update"). The tests
should now be more reliable. It might be worth simply removing all the
explicit handshake though it doesn't hurt and still serves as documentation.
Commit dc57236 ("BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: advertise a larger connection window
size") caused a WINDOW_UPDATE message to be sent early with the connection
to increase the connection's window size. It turns out that it causes some
minor trouble that need to be worked around :
- varnishtest cannot transparently cope with the WU frames during the
handshake, forcing all tests to explicitly declare the handshake
sequence ;
- some vtc scripts randomly fail if the WU frame is sent after another
expected response frame, adding uncertainty to some tests ;
- h2spec doesn't correctly identify these WU at the connection level
that it believes are the responses to some purposely erroneous frames
it sends, resulting in some errors being reported
None of these are a problem with real clients but they add some confusion
during troubleshooting.
Since the fix above was intended to increase the upload bandwidth, we
have another option which is to increase the window size with the first
WU frame sent for the connection. This way, no WU frame is sent until
one is really needed, and this first frame will adjust the window to
the maximum value. It will make the window increase slightly later, so
the client will experience the first round trip when uploading data,
but this should not be perceptible, and is not worth the extra hassle
needed to maintain our debugging abilities. As an extra bonus, a few
extra bytes are saved for each connection until the first attempt to
upload data.
This should possibly be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
Released version 2.0-dev0 with the following main changes :
- BUG/MAJOR: connections: Close the connection before freeing it.

- BUG/MEDIUM: h2: Don't forget to quit the sending_list if SUB_CALL_UNSUBSCRIBE.
- BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: Don't forget to quit the send list on error reports
- BUG/MEDIUM: dns: Don't prevent reading the last byte of the payload in dns_validate_response()
- BUG/MEDIUM: dns: overflowed dns name start position causing invalid dns error
- BUG/MINOR: compression/htx: Don't compress responses with unknown body length
- BUG/MINOR: compression/htx: Don't add the last block of data if it is empty
- MEDIUM: mux_h1: Implement h1_show_fd.
- REGTEST: script: Add support of alternatives in requited options list
- REGTEST: Add a basic test for the compression
- BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: don't needlessly wake up the demux on short frames
- REGTEST: A basic test for "http-buffer-request"
- BUG/MEDIUM: server: Also copy "check-sni" for server templates.
- MINOR: ssl: Add ssl_sock_set_alpn().
- MEDIUM: checks: Add check-alpn.
Add a way to configure the ALPN used by check, with a new "check-alpn"
keyword. By default, the checks will use the server ALPN, but it may not
be convenient, for instance because the server may use HTTP/2, while checks
are unable to do HTTP/2 yet.
In some situations, if too short a frame header is received, we may leave
h2_process_demux() waking up the task again without checking that we were
already subscribed.
In order to avoid this once for all, let's introduce an h2_restart_reading()
function which performs the control and calls the task up. This way we won't
needlessly wake the task up if it's already waiting for I/O.
Must be backported to 1.9.
It is now possible to specify a list of "alternatives" for a required
option. This must be done by separating options by a pipe ('|'). A test will be
executed if at least one of them is available. For instance:
#REQUIRED_OPTIONS=ZLIB|SLZ,LUA,OPENSSL
The function _findtest() has also been sligthly simplified.
In HTX, when the compression filter analyze the EOM, it flushes the compression
context and add the last block of compressed data. But, this block can be
empty. In this case, we must ignore it.
In dns_read_name() when dns name is used with compression and start position of
name is greater than 255 name read is incorrect and causes invalid dns error.
eg: 0xc11b c specifies name compression being used. 11b represent the start
position of name but currently we are using only 1b for start position.
This should be backported as far as 1.7.
A regression was introduced with efbbdf72 BUG: dns: Prevent out-of-bounds
read in dns_validate_dns_response() as it prevented from taking into account
the last byte of the payload. this patch aims at fixing it.
this must be backported in 1.8.
In mux_h2_unsubscribe, don't forget to leave the sending_list if
SUB_CALL_UNSUBSCRIBE was set. SUB_CALL_UNSUBSCRIBE means we were about
to be woken up for writing, unless the mux was too full to get more data.
If there's an unsubscribe call in the meanwhile, we should leave the list,
or we may be put back in the send_list.
This should be backported to 1.9.
With this patch we can provide a list of argument to reg-tests target.
Useful to run reg tests for a list of VTC files like that:
$ VARNISHTEST_PROGRAM=<...> make reg-tests reg-tests/checks/*.vtc
