This entry was still set to 2000 but never used anymore. The only places
where it appeared was as an alias to SYSTEM_MAXCONN which forces it, so
let's turn these ones to SYSTEM_MAXCONN and remove the default value for
DEFAULT_MAXCONN. SYSTEM_MAXCONN still defines the upper bound however.
The global maxconn value is often a pain to configure :
- in development the user never has the permissions to increase the
rlim_cur value too high and gets warnings all the time ;
- in some production environments, users may have limited actions on
it or may only be able to act on rlim_fd_cur using ulimit -n. This
is sometimes particularly true in containers or whatever environment
where the user has no privilege to upgrade the limits.
- keeping config homogenous between machines is even less easy.
We already had the ability to automatically compute maxconn from the
memory limits when they were set. This patch goes a bit further by also
computing the limit permitted by the configured limit on the number of
FDs. For this it simply reverses the rlim_fd_cur calculation to determine
maxconn based on the number of reserved sockets for listeners & checks,
the number of SSL engines and the number of pipes (absolute or relative).
This way it becomes possible to make maxconn always be the highest possible
value resulting in maxsock matching what was set using "ulimit -n", without
ever setting it. Note that we adjust to the soft limit, not the hard one,
since it's what is configured with ulimit -n. This allows users to also
limit to low values if needed.
Just like before, the calculated value is reported in verbose mode.
We'll need to know the global maxsock before the maxconn calculation.
Actually only two components were calculated too late, the peers FD
and the stats FD. Let's move them a few lines upward.
The default number of pipes is adjusted based on the sum of frontends
and backends maxconn/fullconn settings. Now that it is possible to have
a null maxconn on a frontend to indicate "unlimited" with commit
c8d5b95e6 ("MEDIUM: config: don't enforce a low frontend maxconn value
anymore"), the sum of maxconn may remain low and limited to the only
frontends/backends where this limit is set.
This patch considers this new unlimited case when doing the check, and
automatically switches to the default value which is maxconn/4 in this
case. All the calculation was moved to a distinct function for ease of
use. This function also supports returning unlimited (-1) when the
value depends on global.maxconn and this latter is not yet set.
When the master re-execs itself on reload, it doesn't restore the initial
rlim_fd_cur/rlim_fd_max values, which have been modified by the ulimit-n
or global maxconn directives. This is a problem, because if these values
were set really low it could prevent the process from restarting, and if
they were set very high, this could have some implications on the restart
time, or later on the computed maxconn.
Let's simply reset these values to the ones we had at boot to maintain
the system in a consistent state.
A backport could be performed to 1.9 and maybe 1.8. This patch depends on
the two previous ones.
If a ulimit-n value is set, we must not lower the rlim_max value if the
new value is lower, we must only adjust the rlim_cur one. The effect is
that on very low values, this could prevent a master-worker reload, or
make an external check fail by lack of FDs.
This may be backported to 1.9 and earlier, but it depends on this patch
"MINOR: global: keep a copy of the initial rlim_fd_cur and rlim_fd_max
values".
Let's keep a copy of these initial values. They will be useful to
compute automatic maxconn, as well as to restore proper limits when
doing an execve() on external checks.
Historically the default frontend's maxconn used to be quite low (2000),
which was sufficient two decades ago but often proved to be a problem
when users had purposely set the global maxconn value but forgot to set
the frontend's.
There is no point in keeping this arbitrary limit for frontends : when
the global maxconn is lower, it's already too high and when the global
maxconn is much higher, it becomes a limiting factor which causes trouble
in production.
This commit allows the value to be set to zero, which becomes the new
default value, to mean it's not directly limited, or in fact it's set
to the global maxconn. Since this operation used to be performed before
computing a possibly automatic global maxconn based on memory limits,
the calculation of the maxconn value and its propagation to the backends'
fullconn has now moved to a dedicated function, proxy_adjust_all_maxconn(),
which is called once the global maxconn is stabilized.
This comes with two benefits :
1) a configuration missing "maxconn" in the defaults section will not
limit itself to a magically hardcoded value but will scale up to the
global maxconn ;
2) when the global maxconn is not set and memory limits are used instead,
the frontends' maxconn automatically adapts, and the backends' fullconn
as well.
Threads have long matured by now, still for most users their usage is
not trivial. It's about time to enable them by default on platforms
where we know the number of CPUs bound. This patch does this, it counts
the number of CPUs the process is bound to upon startup, and enables as
many threads by default. Of course, "nbthread" still overrides this, but
if it's not set the default behaviour is to start one thread per CPU.
The default number of threads is reported in "haproxy -vv". Simply using
"taskset -c" is now enough to adjust this number of threads so that there
is no more need for playing with cpu-map. And thanks to the previous
patches on the listener, the vast majority of configurations will not
need to duplicate "bind" lines with the "process x/y" statement anymore
either, so a simple config will automatically adapt to the number of
processors available.
tune.listener.multi-queue { on | off }
Enables ('on') or disables ('off') the listener's multi-queue accept which
spreads the incoming traffic to all threads a "bind" line is allowed to run
on instead of taking them for itself. This provides a smoother traffic
distribution and scales much better, especially in environments where threads
may be unevenly loaded due to external activity (network interrupts colliding
with one thread for example). This option is enabled by default, but it may
be forcefully disabled for troubleshooting or for situations where it is
estimated that the operating system already provides a good enough
distribution and connections are extremely short-lived.
Instead of having one task per thread and per server that does clean the
idling connections, have only one global task for every servers.
That tasks parses all the servers that currently have idling connections,
and remove half of them, to put them in a per-thread list of connections
to kill. For each thread that does have connections to kill, wake a task
to do so, so that the cleaning will be done in the context of said thread.

Add a per-thread counter of idling connections, and use it to determine
how many connections we should kill after the timeout, instead of using
the global counter, or we're likely to just kill most of the connections.
This should be backported to 1.9.
For some embedded systems, it's pointless to have 32- or even 64- large
arrays of processes when it's known that much fewer processes will be
used in the worst case. Let's introduce this MAX_PROCS define which
contains the highest number of processes allowed to run at once. It
still defaults to LONGBITS but may be lowered.
Since all of them are exclusive, let's move them to an union instead
of eating memory with the sum of all of them. We're using a transparent
union to limit the code changes.
Doing so reduces the struct lbprm from 392 bytes to 372, and thanks
to these changes, the struct proxy is now down to 6480 bytes vs 6624
before the changes (144 bytes saved per proxy).
While testing fixes, it's sometimes confusing to rebuild only one C file
(e.g. a mux) and not to have the correct commit ID reported in "haproxy -v"
nor on the stats page.
This patch adds a new "version.c" file which is always rebuilt. It's
very small and contains only 3 variables derived from the various
version strings. These variables are used instead of the macros at the
few places showing the version. This way the output version of the
running code is always correct for the parts that were rebuilt.
First, it's a pain to always have to think about updating this date,
second for a long time I've not been the only developer there, and third,
some users contact me hoping to get help that I can't deliver. It's about
time to redirect them to the main site where all the useful links should
be.
If the reload fail after the parsing of the configuration, the
mworker_proc structures are created for the processes it tried to
create.
The mworker_proc_list_to_env() function was exporting these unitialized
structures in the "HAPROXY_PROCESSES" environment variable which was
leading to this kind of output in "show proc":
4294967295 worker [was: 1] 1 17879d 16h26m28s
Since HTX casts the buffer to a struct and stores relative pointers at the
end, it is mandatory that its end is properly aligned. This patch enforces
a buffer size rounding up to the next multiple of two void*, thus 8 on
32-bit and 16 on 64-bit, to match what malloc() already does on the beginning
of the buffer. In pratice it will never be really noticeable since default
sizes already are such multiples.
The master is not supposed to run (at the moment) any task before the
polling loop, the created tasks should be run only in the workers but in
the master they should be disabled or removed.
No backport needed.
The previous code was only stopping the listeners in the master, not the
entire proxy.
Since we now have a polling loop in the master, there might be some side
effects, indeed some things that are still initialized. For example the
checks were still running.
Add a new keyword for servers, "idle-timeout". If set, unused connections are
kept alive until the timeout happens, and will be picked for reuse if no
other connection is available.
signal_init(), init_log(), init_stream(), and init_task() all used to
only preset some values and lists. This needs to be done very early to
provide a reliable interface to all other users. The calls used to be
explicit in haproxy.c:init(). Now they're placed in initcalls at the
STG_PREPARE stage. The functions are not exported anymore.
Instead of exporting a number of pools and having to manually delete
them in deinit() or to have dedicated destructors to remove them, let's
simply kill all pools on deinit().
For this a new function pool_destroy_all() was introduced. As its name
implies, it destroys and frees all pools (provided they don't have any
user anymore of course).
This allowed to remove 4 implicit destructors, 2 explicit ones, and 11
individual calls to pool_destroy(). In addition it properly removes
the mux_pt_ctx pool which was not cleared on exit (no backport needed
here since it's 1.9 only). The sig_handler pool doesn't need to be
exported anymore and became static now.
This commit replaces the explicit pool creation that are made in
constructors with a pool registration. Not only this simplifies the
pools declaration (it can be done on a single line after the head is
declared), but it also removes references to pools from within
constructors. The only remaining create_pool() calls are those
performed in init functions after the config is parsed, so there
is no more user of potentially uninitialized pool now.
It has been the opportunity to remove no less than 12 constructors
and 6 init functions.
We reintroduced some FDs leaking by using a poller and some listeners in
the master.
The master proxy needs to be stopped to avoid leaking its listeners, the
polling loop needs to be deinit, and the thread waker pipe need to be
closed too.
No backport needed.
Valgrind reports:
==3389== Warning: invalid file descriptor -1 in syscall close()
Check for >= 0 before closing.
This bug was introduced in commit ce83b4a5dd
and is specific to 1.9. No backport needed.
At the moment the situation with activity measurement is quite tricky
because the struct activity is defined in global.h and declared in
haproxy.c, with operations made in time.h and relying on freq_ctr
which are defined in freq_ctr.h which itself includes time.h. It's
barely possible to touch any of these files without breaking all the
circular dependency.
Let's move all this stuff to activity.{c,h} and be done with it. The
measurement of active and stolen time is now done in a dedicated
function called just after tv_before_poll() instead of mixing the two,
which used to be a lazy (but convenient) decision.
No code was changed, stuff was just moved around.
The signal_register_fct() does not remove the handlers assigned to a
signal, but add a new handler to a list.
We accidentality inherited the handlers of the main() function in the
master process which is a problem because they act on the proxies.
The side effect was to stop the MASTER proxy which handle the master CLI
on a SIGUSR1, and to display some debug info when doing a SIGHUP and a
SIGQUIT.
The mworker waitpid mode (which is used when a reload failed to apply
the new configuration) was still using a specific initialisation path.
That's a problem since we use a polling loop in the master now, the
master proxy is not initialized and the master CLI is not activated.
This patch removes the initialisation code of the wait mode and
introduce the MODE_MWORKER_WAIT in order to use the same init path as
the MODE_MWORKER with some exceptions. It allows to use the master proxy
and the master CLI during the waitpid mode.
This patch allows a process to properly quit when some jobs are still
active, this feature is handled by the unstoppable_jobs variable, which
must be atomically incremented.
During each new iteration of run_poll_loop() the break condition of the
loop is now (jobs - unstoppable_jobs) == 0.
The unique usage of this at the moment is to handle the socketpair CLI
of a the worker during the stopping of the process. During the soft
stop, we could mark the CLI listener as an unstoppable job and still
handle new connections till every other jobs are stopped.
When using the CLI proxy of the master and trying to access a worker
with the @ prefix, the worker just crash.
The commit 7216032 ("MEDIUM: mworker: leave when the master die")
reintroduced the old code of the pipe, which was not trying to access
the pointers before. The owner of the FD was modified to a different
value, this is a problem since we call listener_accept() in most cases
now from the mworker_accept_wrapper() and it casts the owner variable to
get the listener.
This patch fix the issue by setting back the previous owner of the FD.
The process was aborting with nbthread > 1.
The mworker_pipe_register() could be called several time in multithread
mode, we don't want to abort() there.
When the master die, the worker should exit too, this is achieved by
checking if the FD of the socketpair/pipe was closed between the master
and the worker.
In the former architecture of the master-worker, there was only a pipe
between the master and the workers, and it was easy to check an EOF on
the pipe FD to exit() the worker.
With the new architecture, we use a socketpair by process, and this
socketpair is also used to accept new connections with the
listener_accept() callback.
This accept callback can't handle the EOF and the exit of the process,
because it's very specific to the master worker. This is why we
transformed the mworker_pipe_handler() function in a wrapper which check
if there is an EOF and exit the process, and if not call
listener_accept() to achieve the accept.
