Now there is no more reference to union pattern_data. All pattern fetch and
conversion functions now make use of the common sample type. Note: none of
them adjust the type right now so it's important to do it next otherwise
we would risk sharing such functions with ACLs and seeing them fail.
This change is pretty minor. Struct pattern is only used for
pattern_process() now so changing it to use the common type is
quite obvious. It's worth noting that the last argument of
pattern_process() is never used so the function is self-sufficient.
Note that pattern_process() does not initialize the pattern at all
before calling fetch->process(), and that minimal initialization
will be required when we later change the argument for the sample.
This one is not needed anymore as we can return the data and its type in the
sample provided by the caller. ACLs now always return the proper type. BOOL
is already returned when the result is expected to be processed as a boolean.
temp_pattern has been unexported now.
The new sample types are necessary for the acl-pattern convergence.
These types are boolean and signed int. Some types were renamed for
less ambiguity (ip->ipv4, integer->uint).
The argument parser knows what exact error it has faced, and the pattern
parser is able to report errors, so let's make use of it. From now on, it
becomes possible to detect such things :
$ ./haproxy -db -f echo5.cfg
[ALERT] 110/160344 (4791) : parsing [echo5.cfg:38] : 'stick': invalid arg 2 in fetch method 'payload' : Missing arguments (got 1/2), type 'unsigned integer' expected.
[ALERT] 110/160344 (4791) : parsing [echo5.cfg:39] : 'stick': invalid args in fetch method 'payload' : payload length must be > 0.
[ALERT] 110/160344 (4791) : parsing [echo5.cfg:40] : 'stick': invalid arg 3 in fetch method 'payload_lv' : Failed to parse 'x' as type 'signed integer'.
[ALERT] 110/160344 (4791) : parsing [echo5.cfg:41] : 'stick': invalid arg 4 in fetch method 'payload_lv' : End of arguments expected at ',13'.
[ALERT] 110/160344 (4791) : Error(s) found in configuration file : echo5.cfg
[ALERT] 110/160344 (4791) : Fatal errors found in configuration.
This is used to validate that arguments are coherent. For instance,
payload_lv expects that the last arg (if any) is not more negative
than the sum of the first two. The error is reported if any.
We don't need the pattern-specific args parsers anymore, make use of the
common parser instead. We still need to improve this by adding a validation
function to report abnormal argument values or combinations. We don't report
precise parsing errors yet but this was not previously done either.
arg_i was almost unused, and since we migrated to use struct arg everywhere,
the rare cases where arg_i was needed could be replaced by switching to
arg->type = ARGT_STOP.
This function was only used to call chunk_init_len() from another chunk,
which in the end consists in simply assigning the source chunk to the
destination chunk. Let's remove this indirection to make the code clearer.
Anyway it was the only place such a function was used.
Since IPv6 is a different type than IPv4, the pattern fetch functions
src6 and dst6 were added. IPv6 stick-tables can also fetch IPv4 addresses
with src and dst. In this case, the IPv4 addresses are mapped to their
IPv6 counterpart, according to RFC 4291.
Enhance pattern convs and fetch argument parsing, now fetchs and convs callbacks used typed args.
Add more details on error messages on parsing pattern expression function.
Update existing pattern convs and fetchs to new proto.
Create stick table key type "binary".
Manage Truncation and padding if pattern's fetch-converted result don't match table key size.
pattern.c depended on stick_table while in fact it should be the opposite.
So we move from pattern.c everything related to stick_tables and invert the
dependency. That way the code becomes more logical and intuitive.
This converter can be applied on top of an IPv4-type pattern. It
applies a netmask which is suited for IP address storage and matching.
This can be used to make all hosts within a certain mask to share the
same table entries and as such use the same server.
The mask can be passed in dotted form (eg: 255.255.255.0) or in CIDR
form (eg: 24).
Some converters will need one or several arguments. It's not possible
to write a simple generic parser for that, so let's add the ability
for each converter to support its own argument parser, and call it
to get the arguments when it's specified. If unspecified, the arguments
are passed unmodified as string+len.
The pattern type converters currently support a string arg and a length.
Sometimes we'll prefer to pass them a list or a structure. So let's convert
the string and length into a generic void* and int that each converter may
use as it likes.
