This removes all the hard-coded 8-bit and 256 entries to use a pair of
macros instead so that we can more easily experiment with larger table
sizes if needed.
There used to be one tid for tasklets and a thread_mask for tasks. Since
2.7, both tasks and tasklets now use a tid (albeit with a very slight
semantic difference for the negative value), to in order to limit code
duplication and to ease debugging it makes sense to move tid into the
common part. One limitation is that it will leave a hole in the structure,
but we now have the wake_date that is always present and can move there as
well to plug the hole.
This results in something overall pretty clean (and cleaner than before),
with the low-level stuff (state,tid,process,context) appearing first, then
the caller stuff (caller,wake_date,calls,debug) next, and finally the
type-specific stuff (rq/wq/expire/nice).
Instead of storing an index that's swapped at every call, let's use the
two pointers as a shifting history. Now we have a permanent "caller"
field that records the last caller, and an optional prev_caller in the
debug section enabled by DEBUG_TASK that keeps a copy of the previous
caller one. This way, not only it's much easier to follow what's
happening during debugging, but it saves 8 bytes in the struct task in
debug mode and still keeps it under 2 cache lines in nominal mode, and
this will finally be usable everywhere and later in profiling.
The caller_idx was also used as a hint that the entry was freed, in order
to detect wakeup-after-free. This was changed by setting caller to -1
instead and preserving its value in caller[1].
Finally, the operations were made atomic. That's not critical but since
it's used for debugging and race conditions represent a significant part
of the issues in multi-threaded mode, it seems wise to at least eliminate
some possible factors of faulty analysis.
appctx_wakeup() relies on task_wakeup(), but since it calls it from a
function, the calling place is always appctx_wakeup() itself, which is
not very useful.
Let's turn it to a macro so that we can log the location of the caller
instead. As an example, the cli_io_handler() which used to be seen as
this:
(gdb) p *appctx->t.debug.caller[0]
$10 = {
func = 0x9ffb78 <__func__.37996> "appctx_wakeup",
file = 0x9b336a "include/haproxy/applet.h",
line = 110,
what = 1 '\001',
arg8 = 0 '\000',
arg32 = 0
}
Now shows the more useful:
(gdb) p *appctx->t.debug.caller[0]
$6 = {
func = 0x9ffe80 <__func__.38641> "sc_app_chk_snd_applet",
file = 0xa00320 "src/stconn.c",
line = 996,
what = 6 '\006',
arg8 = 0 '\000',
arg32 = 0
}
This reduces the task struct by 8 bytes, reduces the code size a little
bit by simplifying the calling convention (one argument dropped), and
as a bonus provides the function name in the caller.
The memstats code currently defines its own file/function/line number,
type and extra pointer. We don't need to keep them separate and we can
easily replace them all with just a struct ha_caller. Note that the
extra pointer could be converted to a pool ID stored into arg8 or
arg32 and be dropped as well, but this would first require to define
IDs for pools (which we currently do not have).
The purpose of this structure is to assemble all constant parts of a
generic calling point for a specific event. These ones are created by
the compiler as a static const element outside of the code path, so
they cost nothing in terms of CPU, and a pointer to that descriptor
can be passed to the place that needs it. This is very similar to what
is being done for the mem_stat stuff.
This will be useful to simplify and improve DEBUG_TASK.
There are a few places where it's convenient to hash a pointer to compute
a statistics bucket. Here we're basically reusing the hash that was used
by memory profiling with a minor update that the multiplier was corrected
to be prime and stand by its promise to have equal numbers of 1 and 0,
and that 32-bit platforms won't lose range anymore.
A two-pointer variant was also added.
It was a mistake to put these two fields in the struct task. This
was added in 1.9 via commit 9efd7456e ("MEDIUM: tasks: collect per-task
CPU time and latency"). These fields are used solely by streams in
order to report the measurements via the lat_ns* and cpu_ns* sample
fetch functions when task profiling is enabled. For the rest of the
tasks, this is pure CPU waste when profiling is enabled, and memory
waste 100% of the time, as the point where these latencies and usages
are measured is in the profiling array.
Let's move the fields to the stream instead, and have process_stream()
retrieve the relevant info from the thread's context.
The struct task is now back to 120 bytes, i.e. almost two cache lines,
with 32 bit still available.
The profile entry that corresponds to the current task/tasklet being
profiled is now stored into the thread's context. This will allow it
to be accessed from the tasks themselves. This is needed for an upcoming
fix.
When task profiling is enabled, the scheduler can measure and report
the cumulated time spent in each task and their respective latencies. But
this was wrong for tasks with few wakeups as well as for self-waking ones,
because the call date needed to measure how long it takes to process the
task is retrieved in the task itself (->wake_date was turned to the call
date), and we could face two conditions:
- a new wakeup while the task is executing would reset the ->wake_date
field before returning and make abnormally low values being reported;
that was likely the case for taskèrun_applet for self-waking applets;
- when the task dies, NULL is returned and the call date couldn't be
retrieved, so that CPU time was not being accounted for. This was
particularly visible with process_stream() which is usually called
only twice per request, and whose time was systematically halved.
The cleanest solution here is to keep in mind that the scheduler already
uses quite a bit of local context in th_ctx, and place the intermediary
values there so that they cannot vanish. The wake_date has to be reset
immediately once read, and only its copy is used along the function. Note
that this must be done both for tasks and tasklet, and that until recently
tasklets were also able to report wrong values due to their sole dependency
on TH_FL_TASK_PROFILING between tests.
One nice benefit for future improvements is that such information will now
be available from the task without having to be stored into the task itself
anymore.
Since the tasklet part was computed on wrapping 32-bit arithmetics and
the task one was on 64-bit, the values were now consistently moved to
32-bit as it's already largely sufficient (4s spent in a task is more
than twice what the watchdog would tolerate). Some further cleanups might
be necessary, but the patch aimed at staying minimal.
Task profiling output after 1 million HTTP request previously looked like
this:

This feature is essentially used for debugging so it has extremely limited
impact. However it's used quite a bit more in bug reports and it would be
desirable that at least 2.6 gets this fix backported. It depends on at least
these two previous patches which will then also have to be backported:
MINOR: task: permanently enable latency measurement on tasklets
CLEANUP: task: rename ->call_date to ->wake_date
This field is misnamed because its real and important content is the
date the task was woken up, not the date it was called. It temporarily
holds the call date during execution but this remains confusing. In
fact before the latency measurements were possible it was indeed a call
date. Thus is will now be called wake_date.
This change is necessary because a subsequent fix will require the
introduction of the real call date in the thread ctx.
When tasklet latency measurement was enabled in 2.4 with commit b2285de04
("MINOR: tasks: also compute the tasklet latency when DEBUG_TASK is set"),
the feature was conditionned on DEBUG_TASK because the field would add 8
bytes to the struct tasklet.
This approach was not a very good idea because the struct ends on an int
anyway thus it does finish with a 32-bit hole regardless of the presence
of this field. What is true however is that adding it turned a 64-byte
struct to 72-byte when caller debugging is enabled.
This patch revisits this with a minor change. Now only the lowest 32
bits of the call date are stored, so they always fit in the remaining
hole, and this allows to remove the dependency on DEBUG_TASK. With
debugging off, we're now seeing a 48-byte struct, and with debugging
on it's exactly 64 bytes, thus still exactly one cache line. 32 bits
allow a latency of 4 seconds on a tasklet, which already indicates a
completely dead process, so there's no point storing the upper bits at
all. And even in the event it would happen once in a while, the lost
upper bits do not really add any value to the debug reports. Also, now
one tasklet wakeup every 4 billion will not be sampled due to the test
on the value itself. Similarly we just don't care, it's statistics and
the measurements are not 9-digit accurate anyway.
There's a subtle (harmless) bug in task_instant_wakeup(). As it uses
some tasklet code instead of some task code, the debug part also acts
on the tasklet equivalent, and the call_date is only set when DEBUG_TASK
is set instead of inconditionally like with tasks. As such, without this
debugging macro, call dates are not updated for tasks woken this way.
There isn't any impact yet because this function was introduced in 2.6 to
solve certain classes of issues and is not used yet, and in the worst case
it would only affect the reported latency time.
This may be backported to 2.6 in case a future fix would depend on it but
currently will not fix existing code.
The tasklet's call date was not reset, so if profiling was enabled while
some tasklets were in the run queue, their initial random value could be
used to preload a bogus initial latency value into the task profiling bin.
Let's just zero the initial value.
This should be backported to 2.4 as it was brought with initial commit
b2285de04 ("MINOR: tasks: also compute the tasklet latency when DEBUG_TASK
is set"). The impact is very low though.
To work, quic_pin_cid_to_tid() must set cid[0] to a value with <target_id>
as <global.nbthread> modulo. For each integer n, (n - (n % m)) + d has always
d as modulo m (with d < m).
So, this statement seemed correct:
cid[0] = cid[0] - (cid[0] % global.nbthread) + target_tid;
except when n wraps or when another modulo is applied to the addition result.
Here, for 8bit modulo arithmetic, if m does not divides 256, this cannot
works for values which wraps when we increment them by d.
For instance n=255 m=3 and d=1 the formula result is 0 (should be d).
To fix this, we first limit c[0] to 255 - <target_id> to prevent c[0] from wrapping.
Thank you to @esb for having reported this issue in GH #1855.
Must be backported to 2.6
LibreSSL does not implement EVP_chacha20_poly1305() with EVP_CIPHER but
uses the EVP_AEAD API instead:
https://man.openbsd.org/EVP_AEAD_CTX_init
This patch disables this cipher for libreSSL for now.
When building HAProxy with USE_QUIC and libressl 3.6.0, the
ssl_sock_switchtx_cbk symbol is not found because libressl does not
implement the client_hello_cb.
A ssl_sock_switchtx_cbk version for the servername callback is available
but wasn't exported correctly.
This helper will be called for muxes that provide it and will be used
to let the mux provide extra information about the stream attached to
a stream descriptor. A line prefix is passed in argument so that the
mux is free to break long lines without breaking indent. No prefix
means no line breaks should be produced (e.g. for short dumps).
Some recent traces started to show confusing stream pointers ending with
0xe. The reason was that the stream's obj_type was almost unused in the
past and was stuffed in a hole in the structure. But now it's present in
all "show sess all" outputs and having to mentally match this value against
another one that's 0x17e lower is painful. The solution here is to move the
obj_type at the top, like in almost every other structure, but without
breaking the efficient layout.
This patch moves a few fields around and manages to both plug some holes
(16 bytes saved, 976 to 960) and avoid channels needlessly crossing cache
boundaries (res was spread over 3 lines vs 2 now).
Nothing else was changed. It would be desirable to backport this to 2.6
since it's where dumps are currently being processed the most.
As outlined in commit f7ebe584d7 ("BUILD: debug: Add braces to if
statement calling only CHECK_IF()"), the BUG_ON() family of macros
is incorrectly defined to be empty when debugging is disabled, and
that can lead to trouble. Make sure they always fall back to the
usual "do { } while (0)". This may be backported to 2.6 if needed,
though no such issue was met there to date.
This bug arrived with this commit:
"MINOR: quic: Add reusable cipher contexts for header protection"
haproxy could crash because of missing cipher contexts initializations for
the header protection and draft-v2 Initial secrets. This was due to the fact
that these initialization both for RX and TX secrets were done outside of
qc_new_isecs(). The role of this function is definitively to initialize these
cipher contexts in addition to the derived secrets. Indeed this function is called
by qc_new_conn() which initializes the connection but also by qc_conn_finalize()
which also calls qc_new_isecs() in case of a different QUIC version was negotiated
by the peers from the one used by the client for its first Initial packet.
This was reported by "v2" QUIC interop test with at least picoquic as client.
Must be backported to 2.6.
Shut the connect() warning of resolvers_finalize_config() when the
configuration was not emitted manually.
This shuts the warning for the "default" resolvers which is created
automatically for the httpclient.
Must be backported in 2.6.
It is only a real problem for agent-checks when there is no agent string to
send. The condition to disable TCP_QUICKACK was only based on the action
type following the connect one. But it is not always accurate. indeed, for
agent-checks, there is always a SEND action. But if there is no "agent-send"
string defined, nothing is sent. In this case, this adds 200ms of latency
with no reason.
To fix the bug, a flag is now used on the CONNECT action to instruct there
are data that should be sent after the connect. For health-checks, this flag
is set if the action following the connect is a SEND action. For
agent-checks, it is set if an "agent-send" string is defined.
This patch should fix the issue #1836. It must be backported as far as 2.2.
Replace ->rx.pqpkts quic_enc_level struct member MT_LIST by an LIST.
Same thing for ->list quic_rx_packet struct member MT_LIST.
Update the code consequently. This was a reminisence of the multithreading
support (several threads by connection).
Must be backported to 2.6
Some clients send CONNECTION_CLOSE frame without acknowledging the STREAM
data haproxy has sent. In this case, when closing the connection if
there were remaining data in QUIC stream buffers, they were not released.
Add a <closing> boolean option to qc_stream_desc_free() to force the
stream buffer memory releasing upon closing connection.
Thank you to Tristan for having reported such a memory leak issue in GH #1801.
Must be backported to 2.6.
In ticket #1805 an user is impacted by the limitation of size of the CLI
buffer when updating a ca-file.
This patch allows a user to append new certificates to a ca-file instead
of trying to put them all with "set ssl ca-file"
The implementation use a new function ssl_store_dup_cafile_entry() which
duplicates a cafile_entry and its X509_STORE.
ssl_store_load_ca_from_buf() was modified to take an apped parameter so
we could share the function for "set" and "add".
In order to be able to append new CA in a cafile_entry,
ssl_store_load_ca_from_buf() was reworked and a "append" parameter was
added.
The function is able to keep the previous X509_STORE which was already
present in the cafile_entry.
Implement quic_tls_rx_hp_ctx_init() and quic_tls_tx_hp_ctx_init() to initiliaze
such header protection cipher contexts for each RX and TX parts and for each
packet number spaces, only one time by connection.
Make qc_new_isecs() call these two functions to initialize the cipher contexts
of the Initial secrets. Same thing for ha_quic_set_encryption_secrets() to
initialize the cipher contexts of the subsequent derived secrets (ORTT, 1RTT,
Handshake).
Modify qc_do_rm_hp() and quic_apply_header_protection() to reuse these
cipher contexts.
Note that there is no need to modify the key update for the header protection.
The header protection secrets are never updated.
The CLI needs to reset the svcctx between commands, and there was nothing
done to handle this. Let's add appctx_reset_svcctx() to do that, it's the
closing equivalent of appctx_reserve_svcctx().
This will have to be backported to 2.6 as it will be used by a subsequent
patch to fix a bug.
As specified by RFC 7540, multiple cookie headers are merged in a single
entry before passing it to a HTTP/1.1 connection. This step is
implemented during headers parsing in h2 module.
Extract this code in the generic http_htx module. This will allow to
reuse it quickly for HTTP/3 implementation which has the same
requirement for cookie headers.
MUX notification on TX has been edited recently : it will be notified
only when sending its own data, and not for example on retransmission by
the quic-conn layer. This is subject of the patch :
b29a1dc2f4a334c1c7fea76c59abb4097422c05c
BUG/MINOR: quic: do not notify MUX on frame retransmit
A new flag QUIC_FL_CONN_RETRANS_LOST_DATA has been introduced to
differentiate qc_send_app_pkts invocation by MUX and directly by the
quic-conn layer in quic_conn_app_io_cb(). However, this is a first
problem as internal quic-conn layer usage is not limited to
retransmission. For example for NEW_CONNECTION_ID emission.
Another problem much important is that send functions are also called
through quic_conn_io_cb() which has not been protected from MUX
notification. This could probably result in crash when trying to notify
the MUX.
To fix both problems, quic-conn flagging has been inverted : when used
by the MUX, quic-conn is flagged with QUIC_FL_CONN_TX_MUX_CONTEXT. To
improve the API, MUX must now used qc_send_mux which ensure the flag is
set. qc_send_app_pkts is now static and can only be used by the
quic-conn layer.
This must be backported wherever the previously mentionned patch is.
On STREAM emission, quic-conn notifies MUX through a callback named
qcc_streams_sent_done(). This also happens on retransmission : in this
case offset are examined and notification is ignored if already seen.
However, this behavior has slightly changed since
e53b489826ba9760a527b461095402ca05d2b6be
BUG/MEDIUM: mux-quic: fix server chunked encoding response
Indeed, if offset diff is NULL, frame is now not ignored. This is to
support FIN notification with a final empty STREAM frame. A side-effect
of this is that if the last stream frame is retransmitted, it won't be
ignored in qcc_streams_sent_done().
In most cases, this side-effect is harmless as qcs instance will soon be
freed after being closed. But if qcs is still alive, this will cause a
BUG_ON crash as it is considered as locally closed.
This bug depends on delay condition and seems to be extremely rare. But
it might be the reason for a crash seen on interop with s2n client on
http3 testcase :

To reproduce it locally, code was artificially patched to produce
retransmission and avoid qcs liberation.
In order to fix this and avoid future class of similar problem, the best
way is to not call qcc_streams_sent_done() to notify MUX for
retranmission. To implement this, we test if any of
QUIC_FL_CONN_RETRANS_OLD_DATA or the new flag
QUIC_FL_CONN_RETRANS_LOST_DATA is set. A new wrapper
qc_send_app_retransmit() has been added to set the new flag as a
complement to already existing qc_send_app_probing().
This must be backported up to 2.6.
Adjust qc_send_app_pkts function : remove <old_data> arg and provide a
new wrapper function qc_send_app_probing() which should be used instead
when probing with old data.
This simplifies the interface of the default function, most notably for
the MUX which does not interfer with retransmission.
QUIC_FL_CONN_RETRANS_OLD_DATA flag is set/unset directly in the wrapper
qc_send_app_probing().
At the same time, function documentation has been updated to clarified
arguments and return values.
This commit will be useful for the next patch to differentiate MUX and
retransmission send context. As a consequence, the current patch should
be backported wherever the next one will be.
Emit STREAM_LIMIT_ERROR if a client tries to open an unidirectional
stream with an ID greater than the value specified by our flow-control
limit. The code is similar to the bidirectional stream opening.
MAX_STREAMS_UNI emission is not implement for the moment and is left as
a TODO. This should not be too urgent for the moment : in HTTP/3, a
client has only a limited use for unidirectional streams (H3 control
stream + 2 QPACK streams). This is covered by the value provided by
haproxy in transport parameters.
This patch has been tagged with BUG as it should have prevented last
crash reported on github issue #1808 when opening a new unidirectional
streams with an invalid ID. However, it is probably not the main cause
of the bug contrary to the patch
commit 11a6f4007b908b49ecd3abd5cd10fba177f07c11
BUG/MINOR: quic: Wrong status returned by qc_pkt_decrypt()
This must be backported up to 2.6.
As specified by RFC 9204, encoder and decoder streams must not be
closed. If the peer behaves incorrectly and closes one of them, emit a
H3_CLOSED_CRITICAL_STREAM connection error.
To implement this, QPACK stream decoding API has been slightly adjusted.
Firstly, fin parameter is passed to notify about FIN STREAM bit.
Secondly, qcs instance is passed via unused void* context. This allows
to use qcc_emit_cc_app() function to report a CONNECTION_CLOSE error.
This function is responsible for all calls to pool_alloc(trash), whose
total size can be huge. As such it's quite a pain that it doesn't provide
more hints about its users. However, since the function is tiny, it fully
makes sense to inline it, the code is less than 0.1% larger with this.
This way we can now detect where the callers are via "show profiling",
e.g.:

Storing the pointer to the pool along with the stats is quite useful as
it allows to report the name. That's what we're doing here. We could
store it in place of another field but that's not convenient as it would
require to change all functions that manipulate counters. Thus here we
store one extra field, as well as some padding because the struct turns
56 bytes long, thus better go to 64 directly. Example of output from
"show profiling memory":

Pools are being used so well that it becomes difficult to profile their
usage via the regular memory profiling. Let's add new entries for pools
there, named "p_alloc" and "p_free" that correspond to pool_alloc() and
pool_free(). Ideally it would be nice to only report those that fail
cache lookups but that's complicated, particularly on the free() path
since free lists are released in clusters to the shared pools.
It's worth noting that the alloc_tot/free_tot fields can easily be
determined by multiplying alloc_calls/free_calls by the pool's size, and
could be better used to store a pointer to the pool itself. However it
would require significant changes down the code that sorts output.
If this were to cause a measurable slowdown, an alternate approach could
consist in using a different value of USE_MEMORY_PROFILING to enable pools
profiling. Also, this profiler doesn't depend on intercepting regular malloc
functions, so we could also imagine enabling it alone or the other one alone
or both.
Tests show that the CPU overhead on QUIC (which is already an extremely
intensive user of pools) jumps from ~7% to ~10%. This is quite acceptable
in most deployments.
Right now it's not possible to feed memory profiling info from outside
activity.c, so let's export the function and move the enum and struct
to the include file.
This mmaps a file which will serve as the backing-store for the ring's
contents. The idea is to provide a way to retrieve sensitive information
(last logs, debugging traces) even after the process stops and even after
a possible crash. Right now this was possible by connecting to the CLI
and dumping the contents of the ring live, but this is not handy and
consumes quite a bit of resources before it is needed.
With a backing file, the ring is effectively RAM-mapped file, so that
contents stored there are the same as those found in the file (the OS
doesn't guarantee immediate sync but if the process dies it will be OK).
Note that doing that on a filesystem backed by a physical device is a
bad idea, as it will induce slowdowns at high loads. It's really
important that the device is RAM-based.
Also, this may have security implications: if the file is corrupted by
another process, the storage area could be corrupted, causing haproxy
to crash or to overwrite its own memory. As such this should only be
used for debugging.
Instead of allocating two parts, one for the ring struct itself and
one for the storage area, ring_make_from_area() will arrange the two
inside the same memory area, with the storage starting immediately
after the struct. This will allow to store a complete ring state in
shared memory areas for example.
This commit was not complete:
"BUG/MEDIUM: quic: Possible use of uninitialized <odcid>
variable in qc_lstnr_params_init()"
<token_odcid> should have been directly passed to qc_lstnr_params_init()
without dereferencing it to prevent haproxy to have new chances to crash!
Must be backported to 2.6.
When receiving a token into a client Initial packet without a cluster secret defined
by configuration, the <odcid> variable used to parse the ODCID from the token
could be used without having been initialized. Such a packet must be dropped. So
the sufficient part of this patch is this check:
+ }
+ else if (!global.cluster_secret && token_len) {
+ /* Impossible case: a token was received without configured
+ * cluster secret.
+ */
+ TRACE_PROTO("Packet dropped", QUIC_EV_CONN_LPKT,
+ NULL, NULL, NULL, qv);
+ goto drop;
}
Take the opportunity of this patch to rework and make it more readable this part
of code where such a packet must be dropped removing the <check_token> variable.
When an ODCID is parsed from a token, new <token_odcid> new pointer variable
is set to the address of the parsed ODCID. This way, is not set but used it will
make crash haproxy. This was not always the case with an uninitialized local
variable.
Adapt the API to used such a pointer variable: <token> boolean variable is removed
from qc_lstnr_params_init() prototype.
This must be backported to 2.6.
Add new traces to help debugging on QUIC MUX. Most notable, the
following functions are now traced :
* qcc_emit_cc
* qcs_free
* qcs_consume
* qcc_decode_qcs
* qcc_emit_cc_app
* qcc_install_app_ops
* qcc_release_remote_stream
* qcc_streams_sent_done
* qc_init
