The maximum number of connections accepted at once by a thread for a single
listener used to default to 64 divided by the number of processes but the
tasklet-based model is much more scalable and benefits from smaller values.
Experimentation has shown that 4 gives the highest accept rate for all
thread values, and that 3 and 5 come very close, as shown below (HTTP/1
connections forwarded per second at multi-accept 4 and 64):
ac\thr| 1 2 4 8 16
------+------------------------------
4| 80k 106k 168k 270k 336k
64| 63k 89k 145k 230k 274k
Some tests were also conducted on SSL and absolutely no change was observed.
The value was placed into a define because it used to be spread all over the
code.
It might be useful at some point to backport this to 2.3 and 2.2 to help
those who observed some performance regressions from 1.6.
This patch splits current dns.c into two files:
The first dns.c contains code related to DNS message exchange over UDP
and in future other TCP. We try to remove depencies to resolving
to make it usable by other stuff as DNS load balancing.
The new resolvers.c inherit of the code specific to the actual
resolvers.
Note:
It was really difficult to obtain a clean diff dur to the amount
of moved code.
Note2:
Counters and stuff related to stats is not cleany separated because
currently counters for both layers are merged and hard to separate
for now.
Very often, especially since reg-tests, it would be desirable to be able
to conditionally comment out a config block, such as removing an SSL
binding when SSL is disabled, or enabling HTX only for certain versions,
etc.
This patch introduces a very simple nested block management which takes
".if", ".elif", ".else" and ".endif" directives to take or ignore a block.
For now the conditions are limited to empty string or "0" for false versus
a non-nul integer for true, which already suffices to test environment
variables. Still, it needs to be a bit more advanced with defines, versions
etc.
A set of ".notice", ".warning" and ".alert" statements are provided to
emit messages, often in order to provide advice about how to fix certain
conditions.
We don't want to expose this one anymore as we'll soon keep multiple
default proxies. Let's move it inside the parser which is the only
place which still uses it, and initialize it on the fly once needed
instead of doing it at boot time.
init_default_instance() was still left in cfgparse.c which is not the
best place to pre-initialize a proxy. Let's place it in proxy.c just
after init_new_proxy(), take this opportunity for renaming it to
proxy_preset_defaults() and taking out init_new_proxy() from it, and
let's pass it the pointer to the default proxy to be initialized instead
of implicitly assuming defproxy. We'll soon be able to exploit this.
Only two call places had to be updated.
In 2.1, commit ee4f5f83d ("MINOR: stats: get rid of the ST_CONVDONE flag")
introduced a subtle bug. By testing curproxy against defproxy in
check_config_validity(), it tried to eliminate the need for a flag
to indicate that stats authentication rules were already compiled,
but by doing so it left the issue opened for the case where a new
defaults section appears after the two proxies sharing the first
one:
defaults
mode http
stats auth foo:bar
listen l1
bind :8080
listen l2
bind :8181
defaults
# just to break above
This config results in:
[ALERT] 042/113725 (3121) : proxy 'f2': stats 'auth'/'realm' and 'http-request' can't be used at the same time.
[ALERT] 042/113725 (3121) : Fatal errors found in configuration.
Removing the last defaults remains OK. It turns out that the cleanups
that followed that patch render it useless, so the best fix is to revert
the change (with the up-to-date flags instead). The flag was marked as
belonging to the config. It's not exact but it's the closest to the
reality, as it's not there to configure the behavior but ti mention
that the config parser did its job.
This could be backported as far as 2.1, but in practice it looks like
nobody ever hit it.
Since commit 1.3.14 with commit 1fa3126ec ("[MEDIUM] introduce separation
between contimeout, and tarpit + queue"), check_config_validity() looks
at the last defaults section to update all proxies' queue and tarpit
timeouts if they were not set!
This was apparently an attempt to properly set them on the fallback values,
except that the fallback values were taken from the default proxy before
looking at the current proxy itself. The worst part of it is that it might
have randomly worked by accident for some configurations when there was a
single defaults section, but has certainly caused too short queue
expirations once another defaults section was added later in the file with
these explicitly defined.
Let's remove the defproxy part and keep only the curproxy ones. This could
be backported everywhere, the bug has been there for 13 years.
The server idle/safe/available connection lists are replaced with ebmb-
trees. This is used to store backend connections, with the new field
connection hash as the key. The hash is a 8-bytes size field, used to
reflect specific connection parameters.
This is a preliminary work to be able to reuse connection with SNI,
explicit src/dst address or PROXY protocol.
This is a preparation work for connection reuse with sni/proxy
protocol/specific src-dst addresses.
Protect every access to idle conn lists with a lock. This is currently
strictly not needed because the access to the list are made with atomic
operations. However, to be able to reuse connection with specific
parameters, the list storage will be converted to eb-trees. As this
structure does not have atomic operation, it is mandatory to protect it
with a lock.
For this, the takeover lock is reused. Its role was to protect during
connection takeover. As it is now extended to general idle conns usage,
it is renamed to idle_conns_lock. A new lock section is also
instantiated named IDLE_CONNS_LOCK to isolate its impact on performance.
This allows using the address of the server rather than the name of the
server for keeping track of servers in a backend for stickiness.
The peers code was also extended to support feeding the dictionary using
this key instead of the name.
Fixes#814
This patch is there to initialize the default transport parameters for QUIC
as a preparation for one of the QUIC next steps to come: fully support QUIC
protocol for haproxy servers.
This patch adds a quic_transport_params struct to bind_conf struct
used for the listeners. This is to store the QUIC transport parameters
for the listeners. Also initializes them when calling str2listener().
Before str2sa_range() it's too early to figure we're going to speak QUIC,
and after it's too late as listeners are already created. So it seems that
doing it in str2listener() when the protocol is discovered is the best
place.
Also adds two ebtrees to the underlying receivers to store the connection
by connections IDs (one for the original connection IDs, and another
one for the definitive connection IDs which really identify the connections.
However it doesn't seem normal that it is stored in the receiver nor the
listener. There should be a private context in the listener so that
protocols can store internal information. This element should in
fact be the listener handle.
Something still feels wrong, and probably we'll have to make QUIC and
SSL co-exist: a proof of this is that there's some explicit code in
bind_parse_ssl() to prevent the "ssl" keyword from replacing the xprt.
in the context of a progressive backend migration, we want to be able to
activate SSL on outgoing connections to the server at runtime without
reloading.
This patch adds a `set server ssl` command; in order to allow that:
- add `srv_use_ssl` to `show servers state` command for compatibility,
also update associated parsing
- when using default-server ssl setting, and `no-ssl` on server line,
init SSL ctx without activating it
- when triggering ssl API, de/activate SSL connections as requested
- clean ongoing connections as it is done for addr/port changes, without
checking prior server state
example config:
backend be_foo
default-server ssl
server srv0 127.0.0.1:6011 weight 1 no-ssl
show servers state:
5 be_foo 1 srv0 127.0.0.1 2 0 1 1 15 1 0 4 0 0 0 0 - 6011 - -1
where srv0 can switch to ssl later during the runtime:
set server be_foo/srv0 ssl on
5 be_foo 1 srv0 127.0.0.1 2 0 1 1 15 1 0 4 0 0 0 0 - 6011 - 1
Also update existing tests and create a new one.

It was previously a spinlock, and it happens that a number of LB algos
only lock it for lookups, without performing any modification. Let's
first turn it to an rwlock and w-lock it everywhere. This is strictly
identical.
It was carefully checked that every HA_SPIN_LOCK() was turned to
HA_RWLOCK_WRLOCK() and that HA_SPIN_UNLOCK() was turned to
HA_RWLOCK_WRUNLOCK() on this lock. _INIT and _DESTROY were updated too.
As discussed here during 2.1-dev, "monitor-net" is totally obsolete:
https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg35204.html
It's fundamentally incompatible with usage of SSL, and imposes the
presence of file descriptors with hard-coded syscalls directly in the
generic accept path.
It's very unlikely that anyone has used it in the last 10 years for
anything beyond testing. In the worst case if anyone would depend
on it, replacing it with "http-request return status 200 if ..." and
"mode http" would certainly do the trick.
The keyword is still detected as special by the config parser to help
users update their configurations appropriately.

For now we cannot easily distinguish a peers frontend from another one,
which will be problematic to avoid reporting them when stopping their
listeners. Let's add PR_MODE_PEERS for this. It's not supposed to cause
any issue since all non-HTTP proxies are handled similarly now.
The remaining proxy states were only used to distinguish an enabled
proxy from a disabled one. Due to the initialization order, both
PR_STNEW and PR_STREADY were equivalent after startup, and they
would only differ from PR_STSTOPPED when the proxy is disabled or
shutdown (which is effectively another way to disable it).
Now we just have a "disabled" field which allows to distinguish them.
It's becoming obvious that start_proxies() is only used to print a
greeting message now, that we'd rather get rid of. Probably that
zombify_proxy() and stop_proxy() should be merged once their
differences move to the right place.
The enabled/disabled config options were stored into a "state" field
that is an integer but contained only PR_STNEW or PR_STSTOPPED, which
is a bit confusing, and causes a dependency with proxies. This was
renamed to "disabled" and is used as a boolean. The field was also
moved to the end of the struct to stop creating a hole and fill another
one.
During the startup process we don't have any fdtab nor fd_updt for quite
a long time, and as such some operations on the listeners are not
permitted, such as fd_want_*/fd_stop_* or fd_delete(). The latter is of
particular concern because it's used when stopping a disabled frontend,
and it's performed very early during check_config_validity() while there
is no fdtab yet. The trick till now relies on the listener's state which
is a bit brittle.
There is absolutely no valid reason for stopping a proxy's listeners this
early, we can postpone it after init_pollers() which will at least have
allocated fdtab.
Allow the syntax "${...[*]}" to expand an environment variable
containing several values separated by spaces as individual arguments. A
new flag PARSE_OPT_WORD_EXPAND has been added to toggle this feature on
parse_line invocation. In case of an invalid syntax, a new error
PARSE_ERR_WRONG_EXPAND will be triggered.
This feature has been asked on the github issue #165.
When memory allocation fails in cfg_parse_peers or when an error occurs
while parsing a stick-table, the temporary table and its id must be freed.
This fixes github issue #854. It should be backported as far as 2.0.
Most callers of str2sa_range() need the protocol only to check that it
provides a ->connect() method. It used to be used to verify that it's a
stream protocol, but it might be a bit early to get rid of it. Let's keep
the test for now but move it to str2sa_range() when the new flag PA_O_CONNECT
is present. This way almost all call places could be cleaned from this.
There's a strange test in the server address parsing code that rechecks
the family from the socket which seems to be a duplicate of the previously
removed tests. It will have to be rechecked.
We'll need this so that it can return pointers to stacked protocol in
the future (for QUIC). In addition this removes a lot of tests for
protocol validity in the callers.
Some of them were checked further apart, or after a call to
str2listener() and they were simplified as well.
There's still 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. A typical example is:
server foo localhost:1111
The function will need to use more than just a family, let's pass it
the selected protocol. The caller will then be able to do all the fancy
stuff required to pick the best protocol.
str2listener() was temporarily hacked to support datagram sockets for
the log-forward listeners. This has has an undesirable side effect that
"bind udp@1.2.3.4:5555" was silently accepted as TCP for a bind line.
We don't need this hack anymore since the only user (log-forward) now
relies on str2receiver(). Now such an address will properly be rejected.
This is at least temporary, as the migration at once is way too difficuly.
For now it still creates listeners but only allows DGRAM sockets. This
aims at easing the split between listeners and receivers.
For now only listeners can make use of AF_CUST_UDP and it requires hacks
in the DNS and logsrv code to remap it to AF_INET. Make str2sa_range()
smarter by detecting that it's called for a listener and only set these
protocol families for listeners. This way we can get rid of the hacks.
Just like for inherited sockets, we want to make sure that FDs that are
mentioned in "sockpair@" are actually usable. Right now this test is
performed by the callers, but not everywhere. Typically, the following
config will fail if fd #5 is not bound:
frontend
bind sockpair@5
But this one will pass if fd #6 is not bound:
backend
server s1 sockpair@6
Now both will return an error in such a case:
- 'bind' : cannot use file descriptor '5' : Bad file descriptor.
- 'server s1' : cannot use file descriptor '6' : Bad file descriptor.
As such the test in str2listener() is not needed anymore (and it was
wrong by the way, as it used to test for the socket by overwriting the
local address with a new address that's made of the FD encoded on 16
bits and happens to still be at the same place, but that strictly
depends on whatever the kernel wants to put there).
Since previous patch we know that a successfully bound fd@XXX socket
is returned as its own protocol family from str2sa_range() and not as
AF_CUST_EXISTING_FD anymore o we don't need to check for that case
in str2listener().
If a file descriptor was passed, we can optionally return it. This will
be useful for listening sockets which are both a pre-bound FD and a ready
socket.
These flags indicate whether the call is made to fill a bind or a server
line, or even just send/recv calls (like logs or dns). Some special cases
are made for outgoing FDs (e.g. pipes for logs) or socket FDs (e.g external
listeners), and there's a distinction between stream or dgram usage that's
expected to significantly help str2sa_range() proceed appropriately with
the input information. For now they are not used yet.
Now that str2sa_range() checks for appropriate port specification, we
don't need to implement adhoc test cases in every call place, if the
result is valid, the conditions are met otherwise the error message is
appropriately filled.
These flags indicate what is expected regarding port specifications. Some
callers accept none, some need fixed ports, some have it mandatory, some
support ranges, and some take an offset. Each possibilty is reflected by
an option. For now they are not exploited, but the goal is to instrument
str2sa_range() to properly parse that.
We currently have an argument to require that the address is resolved
but we'll soon add more, so let's turn it into a bit field. The old
"resolve" boolean is now PA_O_RESOLVE.
At some places (log fd@XXX, bind fd@XXX) we support using an explicit
file descriptor number, that is placed into the sockaddr for later use.
The problem is that till now it was done with an AF_UNSPEC family, which
is also used for other situations like missing info or rings (for logs).
Let's create an "official" family AF_CUST_EXISTING_FD for this case so
that we are certain the FD can be found in the address when it is set.
Just like with previous commit, DNS nameservers are affected as well with
addresses starting in "udp@", but here it's different, because due to
another bug in the DNS parser, the address is rejected, indicating that
it doesn't have a ->connect() method. Similarly, the DNS code believes
it's working on top of TCP at this point and this used to work because of
this. The same fix is applied to remap the protocol and the ->connect test
was dropped.
No backport is needed, as the ->connect() test will never strike in 2.2
or below.
newsrv->curr_idle_thr is of type `unsigned int`, not `int`. Fix this issue
by simply passing the dereferenced pointer to sizeof, which is the preferred
style anyway.
This bug was introduced in commit dc2f2753e9.
It first appeared in 2.2-dev5. The patch must be backported to 2.2+.
It is notable that the `calloc` call was not introduced within the commit in
question. The allocation was already happening before that commit and it
already looked like it does after applying the patch. Apparently the
argument for the `sizeof` managed to get broken during the rearrangement
that happened in that commit:
for (i = 0; i < global.nbthread; i++)
- MT_LIST_INIT(&newsrv->idle_orphan_conns[i]);
- newsrv->curr_idle_thr = calloc(global.nbthread, sizeof(*newsrv->curr_idle_thr));
+ MT_LIST_INIT(&newsrv->safe_conns[i]);
+
+ newsrv->curr_idle_thr = calloc(global.nbthread, sizeof(int));
Even more notable is that I previously fixed that *exact same* allocation in
commit 017484c80f.
So apparently it was managed to break this single line twice in the same
way for whatever reason there might be.
Reported github issue #759 shows there is no name resolving
on server lines for ring and peers sections.
This patch introduce the resolving for those lines.
This patch adds boolean a parameter to parse_server function to specify
if we want the function to perform an initial name resolving using libc.
This boolean is forced to true in case of peers or ring section.
The boolean is kept to false in case of classic servers (from
backend/listen)
This patch should be backported in branches where peers sections
support 'server' lines.
Since commit ad37c7ab ("BUILD: config: address build warning on
raspbian+rpi4") gcc 7.3.0 complains again on x86_64 (while 8.2.0
does not) :
src/cfgparse.c: In function 'check_config_validity':
src/cfgparse.c:3593:26: warning: argument 1 range [18446744071562067968, 18446744073709551615] exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Walloc-size-larger-than=]
newsrv->idle_conns = calloc(global.nbthread, sizeof(*newsrv->idle_conns));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This thing is completely bogus (actually the RPi one was the most wrong).
Let's try to shut them both by using an unsigned short for the cast which
is expected to satisfy everyone. It's worth noting that the exact same call
a few lines above and below do not trigger this stupid warning.
This should be backported to 2.2 since the fix above was put there already.
Issue #747 reports that building on raspbian for rpi4 triggers this
warning:
src/cfgparse.c: In function 'check_config_validity':
src/cfgparse.c:3584:26: warning: argument 1 range [2147483648, 4294967295] exceeds maximum object size 2147483647 [-Walloc-size-larger-than=]
newsrv->idle_conns = calloc((unsigned)global.nbthread, sizeof(*newsrv->idle_conns));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's surprising because the declared type is size_t and the argument is
unsigned (i.e. the same type on 32-bit) precisely to avoid cast issues,
but gcc seems to be too smart at this one and to issue a warning over
the valid range, implying that passing the originally required type would
also warn. Given that these are the only casts in calloc and other ones
don't complain, let's drop them.
All 3 were added by commit dc2f2753e ("MEDIUM: servers: Split the
connections into idle, safe, and available.") that went into 2.2, so
this should be backported.
