Leaving the maintenance state and if the server remains in stopping mode due
to a tracked one:
- We mistakenly try to grab some pending conns and shutdown backup sessions.
- The proxy down time and last change were also mistakenly updated
snr_resolution_cb can be called with <nameserver> parameter set to NULL. So we
must check it before using it. This is done most of time, except when we deal
with invalid DNS response.
This reverts commit 19e8aa58f7c42e602a95b4ceb4b254c424aed11c.
It causes some trouble reported by Manu :

server bla 127.0.0.1:8080
[ALERT] 248/130258 (21960) : parsing [/etc/haproxy/test.cfg:53] : 'server bla' : no method found to resolve address '(null)'
[ALERT] 248/130258 (21960) : Failed to initialize server(s) addr.
According to Nenad :
"It's not a good way to fix the issue we were experiencing
before. It will need a bigger rewrite, because the logic in
srv_iterate_initaddr needs to be changed."
Historically the DNS was the only way of updating the server IP dynamically
and the init-addr processing and state file load required the server to have
an FQDN defined. Given that we can now update the IP through the socket as
well and also can have different init-addr values (like IP and 'none') - this
requirement needs to be removed.
This patch should be backported to 1.7.
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 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.
The function srv_set_fqdn() is used to update a server's fqdn and set
accordingly its DNS resolution.
Current implementation prevents a server whose update is triggered by a
SRV record from being linked to an existing resolution in the cache (if
applicable).
This patch aims at fixing this.
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.
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.
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).
This patch adds server_template_init() function used to initialize servers
from server templates. It is called just after having parsed a 'server-template'
line.
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 ...
This patch moves the code which is responsible of finalizing server initializations
after having fully parsed a 'server' line (health-check, agent check and SNI expression
initializations) from parse_server() to new functions.
This patch moves the code responsible of copying default server settings
to a new server instance from parse_server() function to new defsrv_*_cpy()
functions which may be used both during server lines parsing and during server
templates initializations to come.
These defsrv_*_cpy() do not make any reference to anything else than default
server settings.
'resolvers' setting was not duplicated from default server setting to
new server instances when parsing 'server' lines.
This fix is simple: strdup() default resolvers <id> string argument after
having allocated a new server when parsing 'server' lines.
This patch must be backported to 1.7 and 1.6.
In server_parse_sni_expr(), we use the "proxy" global variable, when we
should probably be using "px" given as an argument.
It happens to work by accident right now, but may not in the future.
[wt: better backport it]
Any valid keyword could not be parsed anymore if provided after 'source' keyword.
This was due to the fact that 'source' number of arguments is variable.
So, as its parser srv_parse_source() is the only one who may know how many arguments
was provided after 'source' keyword, it updates 'cur_arg' variable (the index
in the line of the current arg to be parsed), this is a good thing.
This variable is also incremented by one (to skip the 'source' keyword).
This patch disable this behavior.
Should have come with dba9707 commit.
'usesrc' setting is not permitted on 'server' lines if not provided after
'source' setting. This is now also the case on 'default-server' lines.
Without this patch parse_server() parser displayed that 'usersrc' is
an unknown keyword.
Should have come with dba9707 commit.
This reverts commit 266b1a8 ("MEDIUM: server: Inherit CLI weight changes and
agent-check weight responses") from Michal Idzikowski, which is still broken.
It stops propagating weights at the first error encountered, leaving servers
in a random state depending on what LB algorithms are used on other servers
tracking the one experiencing the weight change. It's unsure what the best
way to address this is, but we cannot leave the servers in an inconsistent
state between farms. For example :
backend site1
mode http
balance uri
hash-type consistent
server s1 127.0.0.1:8001 weight 10 track servers/s1
backend site2
mode http
balance uri
server s1 127.0.0.1:8001 weight 10 track servers/s1
backend site3
mode http
balance uri
hash-type consistent
server s1 127.0.0.1:8001 weight 10 track servers/s1
backend servers
server s1 127.0.0.1:8001 weight 10 check inter 1s
The weight change is applied on "servers/s1". It tries to propagate
to the servers tracking it, which are site1/s1, site2/s1 and site3/s1.
Let's say that "weight 50%" is requested. The servers are linked in
reverse-order, so the change is applied to "servers/s1", then to
"site3/s1", then to "site2/s1" and this one fails and rejects the
change. The change is aborted and never propagated to "site1/s1",
which keeps the server in a different state from "site3/s1". At the
very least, in case of error, the changes should probably be unrolled.
Also the error reported on the CLI (when changing from the CLI) simply says :
Backend is using a static LB algorithm and only accepts weights '0%' and '100%'.
Without more indications what the faulty backend is.
Let's revert this change for now, as initially feared it will definitely
cause more harm than good and at least needs to be revisited. It was never
backported to any stable branch so no backport is needed.
When agent-check or CLI command executes relative weight change this patch
propagates it to tracking server allowing grouping many backends running on
same server underneath. Additionaly in case with many src IPs many backends
can have shared state checker, so there won't be unnecessary health checks.
[wt: Note: this will induce some behaviour change on some setups]
IP*_BINDANY is not defined under this system thus it is
necessary to make those fields access since CONFIG_HAP_TRANSPARENT
is not defined.
[wt: problem introduced late in 1.8-dev. The same fix was also reported
by Steven Davidovitz]
Each time we generate a dynamic cookie, we try to make sure the same
cookie hasn't been generated for another server, it's very unlikely, but
it may happen.
We only have to check that for the servers in the same proxy, no, need to
check in others, plus the code was buggy and would always check in the
first proxy of the proxy list.
This patch fixes a bug which came with 5e57643 commit where server
default CRT filenames were initialized to the same value as server
default CRL filenames.
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.
Before this patch, only 'server' directives could support 'disabled' setting.
This patch makes also 'default-server' directives support this setting.
It is used to disable a list of servers declared after a 'defaut-server' directive.
'enabled' new keyword has been added, both supported as 'default-server' and
'server' setting, to enable again a list of servers (so, declared after a
'default-server enabled' directive) or to explicitly enable a specific server declared
after a 'default-server disabled' directive.
For instance provided this configuration:
default-server disabled
server srv1...
server srv2...
server srv3... enabled
server srv4... enabled
srv1 and srv2 are disabled and srv3 and srv4 enabled.
This is equivalent to this configuration:
default-server disabled
server srv1...
server srv2...
default-server enabled
server srv3...
server srv4...
even if it would have been preferable/shorter to declare:
server srv3...
server srv4...
default-server disabled
server srv1...
server srv2...
as 'enabled' is the default server state.
This patch makes 'default-server' support 'addr' setting.
The code which was responsible of parsing 'server' 'addr' setting
has moved from parse_server() to implement a new parser
callable both as 'default-server' and 'server' 'addr' setting parser.
Should not break anything.
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, only 'server' directives could support 'source' setting.
This patch makes also 'default-server' directives support this setting.
To do so, we had to extract the code responsible of parsing 'source' setting
arguments from parse_server() function and make it callable both
as 'default-server' and 'server' 'source' setting parser. So, the code is mostly
the same as before except that before allocating anything for 'struct conn_src'
members, we must free the memory previously allocated.
Should not break anything.
Before this patch, 'cookie' setting was only supported by 'server' directives.
This patch makes 'default-server' directive also support 'cookie' setting.
Should not break anything.
Before this path, 'observe' setting was only supported by 'server' directives.
This patch makes 'default-server' directives also support 'observe' setting.
Should not break anything.
Before this patch only 'server' directives could support 'redir' setting.
This patch makes also 'default-server' directives support 'redir' setting.
Should not break anything.
Before this patch only 'server' directives could support 'track' setting.
This patch makes 'default-server' directives also support this setting.
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.
