If we decided to emit the end of stream flag on the H2 response headers
frame, we must remove the EOM block from the HTX stream, otherwise it
will lead to an extra DATA frame being sent with the ES flag and will
violate the protocol.
This is used for uploads, we can now convert H2 DATA frames to HTX
DATA blocks. It's uncertain whether it's better to reuse the same
function or to split it in two at this point. For now the same
function was added with some paths specific to HTX. In this mode
we loop back to the same or next frame in order to try to complete
DATA blocks.
At the moment the way it's done is not optimal. We should aggregate multiple
blocks into a single DATA frame, and we should merge the ES flag with the
last one when we already know we've reached the end. For now and for an
easier tracking of the HTX stream, an individual empty DATA frame is sent
with the ES bit when EOM is met.
The DATA function is called for DATA, EOD and EOM since these stats indicate
that a previous frame was already produced without the ES flag (typically a
headers frame or another DATA frame). Thus it makes sense to handle all these
blocks there.
There's still an uncertainty on the way the EOD and EOM HTX blocks must be
accounted for, as they're counted as one byte in the HTX stream, but if we
count that byte off when parsing these blocks, we end up sending too much
and desynchronizing the HTX stream. Maybe it hides an issue somewhere else.
At least it's possible to reliably retrieve payloads up to 1 GB over H2/HTX
now. It's still unclear why larger ones are interrupted at 1 GB.
When using HTX, we need a separate function to emit a headers frame.
The code is significantly different from the H1 to H2 conversion, though
it borrows some parts there. It looks like the part building the H2 frame
from the headers list could be factored out, however some of the logic
around dealing with end of stream or block sizes remains different.
With this patch it becomes possible to retrieve bodyless HTTP responses
using H2 over HTX.
When the proxy is configured to use HTX mode, the headers frames
will be converted to HTX header blocks instead of HTTP/1 messages.
This requires very little modifications to the existing function
so it appeared better to do it this way than to duplicate it.
Only the request headers are handled, responses are not processed
yet and data frames are not processed yet either. The return value
is inaccurate but this is not an issue since we're using it as a
boolean : data received or not.
Now h2_snd_buf() will check the proxy's mode to decide whether to use
HTX-specific send functions or legacy functions. In HTX mode, the HTX
blocks of the output buffer will be parsed and the related functions
will be called accordingly based on the block type, and unimplemented
blocks will be skipped. For now all blocks are skipped, this is only
helpful for debugging.
The function needs to be slightly adapted to transfer HTX blocks, since
it may face a full buffer on the receive path, thus it needs to transfer
HTX blocks between the two sides ignoring the <count> argument in this
mode.
The H2 mux will now be called for both HTTP and HTX modes. For now the
data transferr functions are not HTX-aware so this will lead to problems
if used as-is but it's convenient for development and debugging.
In h2_recv(), return 1 if there's an error on the connection, not just if
there's a read0 pending, so that h2_process() can be called and act as a
janitor.
In h2_process_demux(), if we're demuxing multiple frames, and the previous
frame led to a stream getting closed, don't bogusly consider that an error,
and destroy the next stream, as there are valid cases where the stream could
be closed.
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.
Most calls to hap_register_post_check(), hap_register_post_deinit(),
hap_register_per_thread_init(), hap_register_per_thread_deinit() can
be done using initcalls and will not require a constructor anymore.
Let's create a set of simplified macros for this, called respectively
REGISTER_POST_CHECK, REGISTER_POST_DEINIT, REGISTER_PER_THREAD_INIT,
and REGISTER_PER_THREAD_DEINIT.
Some files were not modified because they wouldn't benefit from this
or because they conditionally register (e.g. the pollers).
This switches explicit calls to various trivial registration methods for
keywords, muxes or protocols from constructors to INITCALL1 at stage
STG_REGISTER. All these calls have in common to consume a single pointer
and return void. Doing this removes 26 constructors. The following calls
were addressed :
- acl_register_keywords
- bind_register_keywords
- cfg_register_keywords
- cli_register_kw
- flt_register_keywords
- http_req_keywords_register
- http_res_keywords_register
- protocol_register
- register_mux_proto
- sample_register_convs
- sample_register_fetches
- srv_register_keywords
- tcp_req_conn_keywords_register
- tcp_req_cont_keywords_register
- tcp_req_sess_keywords_register
- tcp_res_cont_keywords_register
- flt_register_keywords
Since the connection changes in 1.9, some breakage happened to the H2 mux
whose initial design was heavily relying on the fact that connection-level
functions were woken up after data were transferred to the stream layer.
We need to wake the demux up after receiving such data if the demux is
blocked. This at least allows to receive POSTs again. One issue remains,
it looks like the end of the uploaded data is silently discarded if the
server responds before the end of the transfer (H2 in half-closed(local)
state), which doesn't happen with 1.8.14 and nghttp as the client.
No backport is needed.
After the changes to the connection layer in 1.9, some wake up calls
need to be introduced to re-activate reading from the connection. One
such place is at the end of h2_process_demux(), otherwise processing
of input data stops after a few frames.
No backport is needed.
Do not destroy the connection when we're about to destroy a stream. This
prevents us from doing keepalive on server connections when the client is
using HTTP/2, as a new stream is created for each request.
Instead, the session is now responsible for destroying connections.
When reusing connections, the attach() mux method is now used to create a new
conn_stream.
Add a new method for mux, avail_streams, that returns the number of streams
still available for a mux.
For the mux_pt, it'll return 1 if the connection is in idle, or 0. For
the H2 mux, it'll return the max number of streams allowed, minus the number
of streams currently in use.
This method is used to retrieve the first known good conn_stream from
the mux. It will be used to find the other end of a connection when
dealing with the proxy protocol for example.
Commit d4dd22d ("MINOR: h2: Let user of h2_recv() and h2_send() know xfer
has been done") changed the API without documenting the expected returned
values which appear to come out of nowhere in the code :-( Please don't
do that anymore! The description was recovered from the commit message.
We wake up all the streams waiting to send data when we have space available
in the mux buffer. Doing so means we probably wake way too many streams,
because after a few the buffer will probably be full instead. So keep a
list of all the streams that are about to send data, and if we detect that
the buffer is full, unschedule the tasks and put the streams back to the
send_list.
Avoid using conn_xprt_want_send/recv, and totally nuke cs_want_send/recv,
from the upper layers. The polling is now directly handled by the connection
layer, it is activated on subscribe(), and unactivated once we got the event
and we woke the related task.
In h2_recv(), return 1 if we have data available, or if h2_recv_allowed()
failed, to be sure h2_process() is called.
Also don't subscribe if our buffer is full.
When we're closing a stream, is there's no stream left and a goaway was sent,
close the connection, there's no reason to keep it open.
[wt: it's likely that this is needed in 1.8 as well, though it's unclear
how to trigger this issue, some tests are needed]
We will need to know if a mux was created for a front or a back
connection and once it's established it's much harder, so let's
introduce H2_CF_IS_BACK for this.
For backend connections we'll have to initialize streams but not allocate
conn_streams since they'll already be there. Thus this patch splits the
h2c_stream_new() function into one dedicated to allocation of a new stream
and another one supposed to attach this stream to an existing frontend
connection.
Till now in order to figure the timeouts, we used to retrieve the proxy
from the session's owner, but the new API provides it so it's better to
simply take it from the caller at init time. We take this opportunity to
store the pointer to the proxy into the h2 connection so that we can
reuse it later when needed.
The init function was split into the mux init and the front init, but it
appears that most of the code will be common between the two sides when
implementing the backend init. Thus let's simply make this a unique
h2_init() function.
h2_snd_buf() must not accept to send data if the preface was not yet
received nor sent. At the moment it doesn't happen but it can with
server-side H2.
At a few places we check these states to detect if a stream has valid
data/errcode or is one of the two dummy streams (idle or closed). It
will become problematic for outgoing streams as it will not be possible
to report errors for example since the stream will switch from IDLE
state only after sending a HEADERS frame.
There is a safer solution consisting in checking the stream ID, which
may only be zero in the dummy streams. This patch changes the test to
only rely on the stream ID.
If we can't send data for a stream because of its flow control, make sure
not to put it in the send_list, until the flow control lets it send again.
This is specific to 1.9, and should not be backported.
When subscribing, we don't need to provide a list element, only the h2 mux
needs it. So instead, Add a list element to struct h2s, and use it when a
list is needed.
This forces us to use the unsubscribe method, since we can't just unsubscribe
by using LIST_DEL anymore.
This patch is larger than it should be because it includes some renaming.
As we don't know how subscriptions are handled, we can't just assume we can
use LIST_DEL() to unsubscribe, so introduce a new method to mux and connections
to do so.
Commit 8ae735da0 ("MEDIUM: mux_h2: Revamp the send path when blocking.")
added a tasklet allocation in h2_stream_new(), however the error exit path
fails to reset h2s in case the tasklet cannot be allocated, resulting in
the h2s pointer to be returned as valid to the caller. Let's readjust the
exit path to always return NULL on error and to always log as well (since
there is no reason for not logging on such important errors).
No backport is needed, this is strictly 1.9-dev.
Since commit 7505f94f9 ("MEDIUM: h2: Don't use a wake() method anymore."),
the H2 mux's init() calls h2_process(). But this last one may detect an
early error and call h2_release(), destroying the connection, and return
-1. At this point we're screwed because the caller will still dereference
the connection for various things ranging from the configuration of the
proxy protocol header to the retries. We could simply return -1 here upon
failure but that's not enough since the stream layer really needs to keep
its connection structure allocated (to clean it up in session_kill_embryonic
or for example because it holds the destination address to reconnect to
when the connection goes to the backend). Thus the correct solution here is
to only schedule a wakeup of the I/O callback so that the init succeeds,
and that the connection is only handled later.
No backport is needed, this is 1.9-specific.
While it was possible to consider the status before parsing response
headers, it's wrong to do it for request headers and could lead to
random behaviours due to this status matching other fields instead.
Additionnally there is little to no value in doing this for each and
every new header field. It's much better to reset the content-length
at once in the callerwhen seeing such statuses (which currently is only
the H2 mux).
No backport is needed, this is purely 1.9.
The h2 parser has this specificity that if it cannot send the headers
frame resulting from the headers it just parsed, it needs to drop it
and parse it again later. Since commit 8852850 ("MEDIUM: h1: let the
caller pass the initial parser's state"), when this happens the parser
remains in the data state and the headers are not parsed again next
time, resulting in a parse error. Let's reset the parser on exit there.
No backport is needed.
If we're detaching the conn_stream, and it was subscribed to be waken up
when more data was available to receive, unsubscribe it.
No backport is needed.
Empty both send_list and fctl_list when destroying the h2 context, so that
if we're freeing the stream after, it doesn't try to remove itself from the
now-deleted list.
No backport is needed.
Till now it was very difficult for a mux to know what proxy it was
working for. Let's pass the proxy when the mux is instanciated at
init() time. It's not yet used but the H1 mux will definitely need
it, just like the H2 mux when dealing with backend connections.
The h1 parser used to systematically turn header field names to lower
case because it was designed for H2. Let's add a flag which is off by
default to condition this behaviour so that when using it from an H1
parser it will not affect the message.
