Previously check_config_validity() had its own curproxy variable. This
resulted in the acl() sample fetch being unable to determine which
proxy was in use when used from within log-format statements. This
change addresses the issue by having the check_config_validity()
function use the global variable instead.
Some flags are defined during statistics generation and output. They use
the prefix STAT_* which is also used for other purposes. Rename them
with the new prefix STAT_F_* to differentiate them from the other
usages.
A dumb mistake was made in f6ae25858 ("MINOR: peers: rely on srv->addr
and remove peer->addr"). I completely overlooked the part where the bind
address settings are used as implicit server's address settings when the
peers are declared using the new bind+server config style (which is the
new recommended method to declare peers as it follows the same logic as
the one used in other proxy sections).
As such, the peers synchro fails to work between previous and new process
(localpeer mechanism) upon reload when declaring peers with way:
global
localpeer local
peers mypeers
bind 127.0.0.1:10001
server local
And one has to use the 'old' config style to make it work:
global
localpeer local
peers mypeers
peer local 127.0.0.1:10001
--
To fix the issue, let's explicitly set the server's addr:port
according to the bind's address settings (only the first listener is
considered) when local peer was declared using the 'bind+server' method.
No backport needed.
When sharded listeners were introdcued in 2.5 with commit 6dfbef4145
("MEDIUM: listener: add the "shards" bind keyword"), a point was
overlooked regarding how IDs are assigned to listeners: they are just
duplicated! This means that if a "option socket-stats" is set and a
shard is configured, or multiple thread groups are enabled, then a stats
dump will produce several lines with exactly the same socket name and ID.
This patch tries to address this by trying to assign consecutive numbers
to these sockets. The usual algo is maintained, but with a preference for
the next number in a shard. This will help users reserve ranges for each
socket, for example by using multiples of 100 or 1000 on each bind line,
leaving enough room for all shards to be assigned.
The mechanism however is quite tricky, because the configured listener
currently ends up being the last one of the shard. This helps insert them
before the current position without having to revisit them. But here it
causes a difficulty which is that we'd like to restart from the current
ID and assign new ones on top of it. What is done is that the number is
passed between shards and the current one is cleared (and removed from
the tree) so that we instead insert the new one. It's tricky because of
the situation which depends whether it's the listener that was already
assigned on the bind line or not. But overall, always removing the entry,
always adding the new one when the ID is not zero, and passing them from
the reference to the next one does the trick.
This may be backported to all versions till 2.6.
This commit is similar with the two previous ones. Its purpose is to add
GUID support on listeners. Due to bind_conf and listeners configuration,
some specifities were required.
Its possible to define several listeners on a single bind line, for
example by specifying multiple addresses. As such, it's impossible to
support a "guid" keyword on a bind line. The problem is exacerbated by
the cloning of listeners when sharding is used.
To resolve this, a new keyword "guid-prefix" is defined for bind lines.
It allows to specify a string which will be used as a prefix for
automatically generated GUID for each listeners attached to a bind_conf.
Automatic GUID listeners generation is implemented via a new function
bind_generate_guid(). It is called on post-parsing, after
bind_complete_thread_setup(). For each listeners on a bind_conf, a new
GUID is generated with bind_conf prefix and the index of the listener
relative to other listeners in the bind_conf. This last value is stored
in a new bind_conf field named <guid_idx>. If a GUID cannot be inserted,
for example due to a non-unique value, an error is returned, startup is
interrupted with configuration rejected.
Currently, the way proxy-oriented logformat directives are handled is way
too complicated. Indeed, "log-format", "log-format-error", "log-format-sd"
and "unique-id-format" all rely on preparsing hints stored inside
proxy->conf member struct. Those preparsing hints include the original
string that should be compiled once the proxy parameters are known plus
the config file and line number where the string was found to generate
precise error messages in case of failure during the compiling process
that happens within check_config_validity().
Now that lf_expr API permits to compile a lf_expr struct that was
previously prepared (with original string and config hints), let's
leverage lf_expr_compile() from check_config_validity() and instead
of relying on individual proxy->conf hints for each logformat expression,
store string and config hints in the lf_expr struct directly and use
lf_expr helpers funcs to handle them when relevant (ie: original
logformat string freeing is now done at a central place inside
lf_expr_deinit(), which allows for some simplifications)
Doing so allows us to greatly simplify the preparsing logic for those 4
proxy directives, and to finally save some space in the proxy struct.
Also, since httpclient proxy has its "logformat" automatically compiled
in check_config_validity(), we now use the file hint from the logformat
expression struct to set an explicit name that will be reported in case
of error ("parsing [httpclient:0] : ...") and remove the extraneous check
in httpclient_precheck() (logformat was parsed twice previously..)
log format expressions are broadly used within the code: once they are
parsed from input string, they are converted to a linked list of
logformat nodes.
We're starting to face some limitations because we're simply storing the
converted expression as a generic logformat_node list.
The first issue we're facing is that storing logformat expressions that
way doesn't allow us to add metadata alongside the list, which is part
of the prerequites for implementing log-profiles.
Another issue with storing logformat expressions as generic lists of
logformat_node elements is that it's starting to become really hard to
tell when we rely on logformat expressions or not in the code given that
there isn't always a comment near the list declaration or manipulation
to indicate that it's relying on logformat expressions under the hood,
so this adds some complexity for code maintenance.
This patch looks quite impressive due to changes in a lot of header and
source files (since logformat expressions are broadly used), but it does
a simple thing: it defines the lf_expr structure which itself holds a
generic list of logformat nodes, and then declares some helpers to
manipulate lf_expr elements and fixes the code so that we now exclusively
manipulate logformat_node lists as lf_expr elements outside of log.c.
For now, lf_expr struct only contains the list of logformat nodes (no
additional metadata), but now that we have dedicated type and helpers,
doing so in the future won't be problematic at all and won't require
extensive code changes.
log load-balancing implementation was not seamlessly integrated within
lbprm API. The consequence is that it could become harder to maintain
over time since it added some specific cases just for the log backend.
Moreover, it resulted in some code duplication since balance algorithms
that are common to logs and regular (tcp, http) backends were specifically
rewritten for log backends.
Thanks to the previous commit, we now have all the prerequisites to make
log load-balancing fully leverage lbprm logic. Thus in this patch we make
__do_send_log_backend() use existing lbprm algorithms, and we no longer
require log-specific lbprm initialization in cfgparse.c and in
postcheck_log_backend().
As a bonus, for log backends this allows weighed algorithms to properly
support weights (ie: roundrobin, random and log-hash) since we now
leverage the same lb algorithms that we use for tcp/http backends
(doc was updated).
As previously mentioned in cd352c0db ("MINOR: log/balance: rename
"log-sticky" to "sticky""), let's define a sticky algorithm that may be
used from any protocol. Sticky algorithm sticks on the same server as
long as it remains available.
The documentation was updated accordingly.
When a parsing error occurs inside a log-format-sd expression, we report
the location of the log-format directive (which may not be set) instead
of reporting the proper log-format-sd directive location where the parsing
error occured.
1|listen test
2| log-format "%B" # no error
3| log-format-sd "%bad" # error
| [ALERT] (322261) : config : Parsing [empty.conf:2]: failed to parse log-format-sd : no such format variable 'bad'. If you wanted to emit the '%' character verbatim, you need to use '%%'.
The fix consists in using the config hints dedicated to log-format-sd
directive instead of the log-format one.
The bug was introduced in 8a4e4420 ("MEDIUM: log-format: Use standard
HAProxy log system to report errors").
This should be backported to every stable versions.
PROXY procotol is not supported on QUIC for now. Thus return an error during
configuration parsing if 'accept-proxy' option is used for a QUIC listener.
This patch should fix the issue #2186. It should be backport as far as 2.6.
Recent commit 2ed6068 ("MINOR: log: custom name for logformat node")
introduced a potential memory leak because when custom name is provided,
lf->name value is allocated using strdup(), thus is expected to be freed
alongside the node when the node is released.
However lf->name was only freed in some common places within log.c
cleanups and helpers func, but in reality there are still cases where
lf nodes are manually freed without making use of freeing helpers.
So this is what this patch does, it makes sure all lf freeing places now
leverage the free_logformat_node() helper function that takes care of
freeing all known allocated elements within the node, including custom
name.
This commit depends on:
- "MINOR: log: add free_logformat_node() helper function"
No backport needed unless 2ed6068 gets backported.
Since below commit, server_find_by_name() now search using
'used_server_id' proxy backend tree :
4bcfe30414
OPTIM: server: eb lookup for server_find_by_name()
This introduces a regression if server_find_by_name() is used via
check_config_validity() during post-parsing. Indeed, used_server_id tree
is populated at the same stage so it's possible to not found an existing
server. This can cause incorrect rejection of previously valid
configuration file.
To fix this, servers are now inserted in used_server_id tree during
parsing via parse_server(). This guarantees that server instances can be
retrieved during post parsing.
A known feature which uses server_find_by_name() during post parsing is
attach-srv tcp-rule used for reverse HTTP. Prior to the current fix, a
config was wrongly rejected if the rule was declared before the server
line.
This should not be backported unless the mentionned commit is.
Similarly to the previous commit, we get rid of unused peer member.
peer->addr was only used to save a copy of the sever's addr at parsing
time. But instead of relying on an intermediate variable, we can actually
use server's address directly when initiating the peer session.
As with other streams created from server's settings (tcp/http, log, ring),
we should rely on srv->svc_port for the port part of the address. This
shouldn't change anything for peers since the address is fully resolved
at parsing time and runtime changes are not supported, but this should
help to make the code future-proof.
peer->proto and peer->xprt struct members are now pure legacy: they are
only set during parsing but never used afterwards.
This is due to commit 02efedac ("MINOR: peers: now remove the remote
connection setup code") which made some cleanup in the past, but the
unused proto and xprt members were probably left unused by mistake.
Since we don't have valid uses for them, we remove them.
Also, peer_xprt() helper function was removed since it was related to
peer->xprt struct member.
Currently, we have a check in proxy_cfg_ensure_no_http() that generates a
warning if the monitor-uri is configured on a proxy that doesn't have
mode HTTP enabled.
However, when we give a look at monitor-uri implementation, it's not
100% correct. Indeed, despite the warning message, the directive will
still be evaluated when HTTP upgrade occurs from a TCP frontend.
Thus the error is misleading.
To make the error message comply with the actual behavior, the check was
moved alongside other checks that accept both native HTTP mode or HTTP
upgrades in cfgparse.c.
When a TCP frontend uses an HTTP backend, the stream is automatically
upgraded and it results in a similar behavior as if a switch-mode http
rule was evaluated since stream_set_http_mode() gets called in both
situations and minimal HTTP analyzers are set.
In the current implementation, some postparsing checks are generating
errors or warnings when the frontend is in TCP mode with some HTTP options
set and no upgrade is expected (no switch-rule http). But as you can guess,
unfortunately this leads in issues when such "HTTP" only options are used
in a frontend that has implicit switching rules (that is, when the
frontend uses an HTTP backend for example), because in this case the
PR_O_HTTP_UPG will not be set, so the postparsing checks will consider
that some options are not relevant and will raise some warnings.
Consider the following example:
backend back
mode http
server s1 git.haproxy.org:80
frontend front
mode tcp
bind localhost:8080
http-request set-var(txn.test) str(TRUE),debug(WORKING,stderr)
use_backend back
By starting an haproxy instance with the above example conf, we end up
having this warning:
[WARNING] (400280) : config : 'http-request' rules ignored for frontend 'front' as they require HTTP mode.
However, by making a request on the frontend, we notice that the request
rules are still executed, and that's because the stream is effectively
upgraded as a result of an implicit upgrade:
[debug] WORKING: type=str <TRUE>
So this confirms the previous description: since implicit and explicit
upgrades result in approximately the same behavior on the frontend side,
we should consider them both when doing postparsing checks.
This is what we try to address in the following commit: PR_O_HTTP_UPG
flag is now more generic in the sense that it refers to either implicit
(through default_backend or use_backend rules) or explicit (switch-mode
rules) upgrades. Indeed, everytime an HTTP or dynamic backend (where the
mode cannot be assumed during parsing) is encountered in default_backend
directive or use_backend rules, we explicitly position the upgrade flag
so that further checks that depend on the proxy being in HTTP context
don't report false warnings.
Previous commit renames 'proto_reverse_connect' module to 'proto_rhttp'.
This commits follows this by replacing various custom prefix by 'rhttp_'
to make the code uniform.
Note that 'reverse_' prefix was kept in connection module. This is
because if a new reversable protocol not based on HTTP is implemented,
it may be necessary to reused the same connection function which are
protocol agnostic.
add proxy_cfg_ensure_no_log() function (similar to
proxy_cfg_ensure_no_http()) to ensure at the end of proxy parsing that
no log exclusive options are found if the proxy is not in log mode.
str2sa_range() already allows the caller to provide <proto> in order to
get a pointer on the protocol matching with the string input thanks to
5fc9328a ("MINOR: tools: make str2sa_range() directly return the protocol")
However, as stated into the commit message, there is a trick:
"we can fail to return a protocol in case the caller
accepts an fqdn for use later. This is what servers do and in this
case it is valid to return no protocol"
In this case, we're unable to return protocol because the protocol lookup
depends on both the [proto type + xprt type] and the [family type] to be
known.
While family type might not be directly resolved when fqdn is involved
(because family type might be discovered using DNS queries), proto type
and xprt type are already known. As such, the caller might be interested
in knowing those address related hints even if the address family type is
not yet resolved and thus the matching protocol cannot be looked up.
Thus in this patch we add the optional net_addr_type (custom type)
argument to str2sa_range to enable the caller to check the protocol type
and transport type when the function succeeds.
QUIC connections are pushed manually into a dedicated listener queue
when they are ready to be accepted. This happens after handshake
finalization or on 0-RTT packet reception. Listener is then woken up to
dequeue them with listener_accept().
This patch comptabilizes the number of connections currently stored in
the accept queue. If reaching a certain limit, INITIAL packets are
dropped on reception to prevent further QUIC connections allocation.
This should help to preserve system resources.
This limit is automatically derived from the listener backlog. Half of
its value is reserved for handshakes and the other half for accept
queues. By default, backlog is equal to maxconn which guarantee that
there can't be no more than maxconn connections in handshake or waiting
to be accepted.
Implement a limit per listener for concurrent number of QUIC
connections. When reached, INITIAL packets for new connections are
automatically dropped until the number of handshakes is reduced.
The limit value is automatically based on listener backlog, which itself
defaults to maxconn.
This feature is important to ensure CPU and memory resources are not
consume if too many handshakes attempt are started in parallel.
Special care is taken if a connection is released before handshake
completion. In this case, counter must be decremented. This forces to
ensure that member <qc.state> is set early in qc_new_conn() before any
quic_conn_release() invocation.
As a result of copy paste error in 1b8e68e ("MEDIUM: stick-table: Stop
handling stick-tables as proxies."), postparsing stktable_init() failures
were reported as such for named peer tables:
"Proxy 'table_name': failed to initialize stick table."
Now they are correctly reported like this:
"Parsing [file:line]: failed to initialize 'table_name' stick-table."
This should be backported to every stable versions.
Simplify stick and store sticktable proxy rules postparsing by adding
a sticking rule entry resolve (postparsing) function.
This will ease code maintenance.
Increment actconn and check maxconn limit when a quic_conn is
instantiated. This is necessary because prior to this patch, quic_conn
instances where not counted. Global actconn was only incremented after
the handshake has been completed and the connection structure is
allocated.
The increment is done using increment_actconn() on INITIAL packet
parsing if a new connection is about to be created. If the limit is
reached, the allocation is cancelled and the INITIAL packet is dropped.
The decrement is done under quic_conn_release(). This means that
quic_cc_conn instances are not taken into account. This seems safe
enough because quic_cc_conn are only used for minimal usage.
The counterpart of this change is that maxconn must not be checked a
second time when listener_accept() is done over a QUIC connection. For
this, a new bind_conf flag BC_O_XPRT_MAXCONN is set for listeners when
maxconn is already counted by the lower layer. For the moment, it is
positionned only for QUIC listeners.
Without this patch, haproxy process could suffer from heavy memory/CPU
load if the number of concurrent handshake is high.
This patch is not considered a bug fix per-se. However, it has a major
benefit to protect against too many QUIC handshakes. As such, it should
be backported up to 2.6. For this, it relies on the following patch :
"MINOR: frontend: implement a dedicated actconn increment function"
This function allows to safely map proxy mode to corresponding proto_mode
This will allow for easier code maintenance and prevent mixups between
proxy mode and proto mode.
Reverse HTTP listeners are very specific and share only a very limited
subset of keywords with other listeners. As such, it is probable
meaningless to mix standard and reverse addresses on the same bind line.
This patch emits a fatal error during configuration parsing if this is
the case.
hash lb algorithm can be configured with the "log-balance hash <cnv_list>"
directive. With this algorithm, the user specifies a converter list with
<cnv_list>.
The produced log message will be passed as-is to the provided converter
list, and the resulting hash will be used to select the log server that
will receive the log message.
Using "mode log" in a backend section turns the proxy in a log backend
which can be used to log-balance logs between multiple log targets
(udp or tcp servers)
log backends can be used as regular log targets using the log directive
with "backend@be_name" prefix, like so:
| log backend@mybackend local0
A log backend will distribute log messages to servers according to the
log load-balancing algorithm that can be set using the "log-balance"
option from the log backend section. For now, only the roundrobin
algorithm is supported and set by default.
When 'log' directive was implemented, the internal representation was
named 'struct logsrv', because the 'log' directive would directly point
to the log target, which used to be a (UDP) log server exclusively at
that time, hence the name.
But things have become more complex, since today 'log' directive can point
to ring targets (implicit, or named) for example.
Indeed, a 'log' directive does no longer reference the "final" server to
which the log will be sent, but instead it describes which log API and
parameters to use for transporting the log messages to the proper log
destination.
So now the term 'logsrv' is rather confusing and prevents us from
introducing a new level of abstraction because they would be mixed
with logsrv.
So in order to better designate this 'log' directive, and make it more
generic, we chose the word 'logger' which now replaces logsrv everywhere
it was used in the code (including related comments).
This is internal rewording, so no functional change should be expected
on user-side.
These ones were still in cfgparse.c but they're not specific to the
config at all and may actually be used even when parsing cpu list
entries in /sys. Better move them where they can be reused.
Do not force affinity on the process, instead let's just apply it to
cpu-map, it will automatically be used later in the init process. We
can do this because we know that cpu-map was not set when we're using
this detection code.
This is much saner, as we don't need to manipulate the process' affinity
at this point in time, and just update the info that the user omitted to
set by themselves, which guarantees a better long-term consistency with
the documented feature.
It's easier to use this function now to natively support variable
fields in the file's path. This also removes read_file_from_trash()
that was only used here and was static.
The function generate_random_cluster_secret() which initializes the cluster secret
when not supplied by configuration is buggy. There 1/256 that the cluster secret
string is empty.
To fix this, one stores the cluster as a reduced size first 128 bits of its own
SHA1 (160 bits) digest, if defined by configuration. If this is not the case, it
is initialized with a 128 bits random value. Furthermore, thus the cluster secret
is always initialized.
As the cluster secret is always initialized, there are several tests which
are for now on useless. This patch removes such tests (if(global.cluster_secret))
in the QUIC code part and at parsing time: no need to check that a cluster
secret was initialized with "quic-force-retry" option.
Must be backported as far as 2.6.
Implement parsing for "rev@" addresses on bind line. On config parsing,
server name is stored on the bind_conf.
Several new callbacks are defined on reverse_connect protocol to
complete parsing. listen callback is used to retrieve the server
instance from the bind_conf server name. If found, the server instance
is stored on the receiver. Checks are implemented to ensure HTTP/2
protocol only is used by the server.
Implement reverse-connect server. This server type cannot instantiate
its own connection on transfer. Instead, it can only reuse connection
from its idle pool. These connections will be populated using the future
'tcp-request session attach-srv' rule.
A reverse-connect has no address. Instead, it uses a new custom server
notation with '@' character prefix. For the moment, only '@reverse' is
defined. An extra check is implemented to ensure server is used in a
HTTP proxy.
Add a check for limited-quic in check_config_validity() when compiled
with USE_QUIC_OPENSSL_COMPAT so that we prevent a config from starting
accidentally with limited QUIC support. If a QUIC listener is found
when using the compatibility mode and limited-quic is not set, an error
message is reported explaining that the SSL library is not compatible
and proposing the user to enable limited-quic if that's what they want,
and the startup fails.
This partially reverts commit 7c730803d ("MINOR: quic: Warning for
OpenSSL wrapper QUIC bindings without "limited-quic"") since a warning
was not sufficient.
Surprisingly, commit 00e00fb42 ("REORG: cfgparse: extract curproxy as a
global variable") caused a build breakage on the CI but not on two
developers' machines. It looks like it's dependent on the linker version
used. What happens is that flt_spoe.c already has a curproxy struct which
already is a copy of the one passed by the parser because it also needed
it to be exported, so they now conflict. Let's just drop this unused copy.
parse_cpu_set() stopped returning the undocumented -1 which was a
leftover from an earlier attempt, changed from ulong to int since
it only returns a success/failure and no more a mask. Thus it must
not return -1 and its callers must only test for != 0, as is
documented.
As documented, the NUMA auto-detection is not supposed to be used when
the CPU affinity was set either by taskset (already checked) or by a
cpu-map directive. However this check was missing, so that configs
having cpu-map entries would still first bind to a single node. In
practice it has no impact on correct configs since bindings will be
replaced. However for those where the cpu-map directive are not
exhaustive it will have the impact of binding those threads to one node,
which disagrees with the doc (and makes future evolutions significantly
more complicated).
This could be backported to 2.4 where numa-cpu-mapping was added, though
if nobody encountered this by then maybe we should only focus on recent
versions that are more NUMA-friendly (e.g. 2.8 only). This patch depends
on this previous commit that brings the function we rely on:
MINOR: cpuset: add cpu_map_configured() to know if a cpu-map was found
When a stick-table is defined within a peers section, the name is
prefixed with the peers section name. However when checking for
duplicate table names, the check was using the table name without
the prefix, and would thus never match.
Must be backported as far as 2.6.
There are several misuses in peers sections that are not detected during the
configuration parsing and that could lead to undefined behaviors or crashes.
First, only one listener is expected for a peers section. If several bind
lines or local peer definitions are used, an error is triggered. However, if
multiple addresses are set on the same bind line, there is no error while
only the last listener is properly configured. On the 2.8, there is no crash
but side effects are hardly predictable. On older version, HAProxy crashes
if an unconfigured listener is used.
Then, there is no check on remote peers name. It is unexpected to have same
name for several remote peers. There is now a test, performed during the
post-parsing, to verify all remote peer names are unique.
Finally, server parsing options for the peers sections are changed to be
sure a port is always defined, and not a port range or a port offset.
This patch fixes the issue #2066. It could be backported to all stable
versions.
Some huge configs take a significant amount of time to start and this
can cause some trouble (e.g. health checks getting delayed and grouped,
process not responding to the CLI etc). For example, some configs might
start fast in certain environments and slowly in other ones just due to
the use of a wrong DNS server that delays all libc's resolutions. Let's
first start by measuring it by keeping a copy of the most recently known
ready date, once before calling check_config_validity() and then refine
it when leaving this function. A last call is finally performed just
before deciding to split between master and worker processes, and it covers
the whole boot. It's trivial to collect and even allows to get rid of a
call to clock_update_date() in function check_config_validity() that was
used in hope to better schedule future events.
