The "show ca-file" and "show crl-file" commands mix some generic pointers
from the "ctx.cli" struct and context-specific ones from "ctx.ssl" while
both are in a union. It's fortunate that the p0 pointer in use is located
immediately before the first one used (it overlaps with next_ckchi_link,
and old_cafile_entry is safe). But should these fields be reordered or
slightly updated this will break.
Comments were added on top of the affected functions to indicate what they
use.
This needs to be backported to 2.5.
Try to create a "default" resolvers section at startup, but does not
display any error nor warning. This section is initialized using the
/etc/resolv.conf of the system.
This is opportunistic and with no guarantee that it will work (but it should
on most systems).
This is useful for the httpclient as it allows to use the DNS resolver
without any configuration in most of the cases.
The function is called from the httpclient_pre_check() function to
ensure than we tried to create the section before trying to initiate the
httpclient. But it is also called from the resolvers.c to ensure the
section is created when the httpclient init was disabled.
In flags set on the endpoints, some are set by endpoints itself and some are
set by the app layer. To help flags manipulations, 2 masks have been
added. The first one, CS_EP_ENDP_MASK, for all flags that an endpoint may
set. The other one, CS_EP_APP_MASK, for flags that the app layer may set.
This patch is mandatory for the next commit.
This is required when the retransmitted frame types when the mux is released.
We add a counter for the number of streams which were opened or closed by the mux.
After the mux has been released, we can rely on this counter to know if the STREAM
frames are retransmitted ones or not.
That's similar to what was done for conn_streams and connections. The
flags were only set exactly when the relevant pointers were allocated,
so better test the pointer than the flag and stop setting the flag.
Just like for the conn_stream, now that these addresses are dynamically
allocated, there is no single case where the pointer is set without the
corresponding flag, and the flag is used as a permission to dereference
the pointer. Let's just replace the test of the flag with a test of the
pointer and remove all flag assignment. This makes the code clearer
(especially in "if" conditions) and saves the need for future code to
think about properly setting the flag after setting the pointer.
These flags indicate that the ->src or ->dst field in the conn_stream
is not null, which is something the caller already sees (and even tests
from the two sets of functions that set them). They maintain some burden
because an agent trying to set a source or destination has to manually
set the flags in addition to setting the pointer, so they provide no
value anymore, let's drop them.
This flag is no longer needed now that it must always match the presence
of a destination address on the backend conn_stream. Worse, before previous
patch, if it were to be accidently removed while the address is present, it
could result in a leak of that address since alloc_dst_address() would first
be called to flush it.
Its usage has a long history where addresses were stored in an area shared
with the connection, but as this is no longer the case, there's no reason
for putting this burden onto application-level code that should not focus
on setting obscure flags.
The only place where that made a small difference is in the dequeuing code
in case of queue redistribution, because previously the code would first
clear the flag, and only later when trying to deal with the queue, would
release the address. It's not even certain whether there would exist a
code path going to connect_server() without calling pendconn_dequeue()
first (e.g. retries on queue timeout maybe?).
Now the pendconn_dequeue() code will rely on SF_ASSIGNED to decide to
clear and release the address, since that flag is always set while in
a server's queue, and its clearance implies that we don't want to keep
the address. At least it remains consistent and there's no more risk of
leaking it.
If the request channel buffer is full, H3 demuxing must be interrupted
on the stream until some read is performed. This condition is reported
if the HTX stream buffer qcs.rx.app_buf is full.
In this case, qcs instance is marked with a new flag QC_SF_DEM_FULL.
This flag cause the H3 demuxing to be interrupted. It is cleared when
the HTX buffer is read by the conn-stream layer through rcv_buf
operation.
When the flag is cleared, the MUX tasklet is woken up. However, as MUX
iocb does not treat Rx for the moment, this is useless. It must be fix
to prevent possible freeze on POST transfers.
In practice, for the moment the HTX buffer is never full as the current
Rx code is limited by the quic-conn receive buffer size and the
incomplete flow-control implementation. So for now this patch is not
testable under the current conditions.
It seems this multiplier ended up in oblivion. Indeed a multiplier must be
applied to the loss delay expressed as an RTT multiplier: 9/8.
So, some packets were detected as lost too soon, leading to be retransmitted too
early!
A crash is possible under such circumtances:
- The congestion window is drastically reduced to its miniaml value
when a quic listener is experiencing extreme packet loss ;
- we enqueue several STREAM frames to be resent and some of them could not be
transmitted ;
- some of the still in flight are acknowledged and trigger the
stream memory releasing ;
- when we come back to send the remaing STREAM frames, haproxy
crashes when it tries to build them.
To fix this issue, we mark the STREAM frame as lost when detected as lost.
Then a lookup if performed for the stream the STREAM frames are attached
to before building them. They are released if the stream is no more available
or the data range of the frame is consumed.
Modify qc_send_app_pkt() to distinguish the case where it sends new data
against the case where it sends old data during probing retransmissions.
We add <old_data> boolean parameter to this function to do so. The mux
never directly send old data when probing retransmissions are needed by
the connection.
We want to be able to resend frames from list of frames during handshakes to
resend datagrams with the same frames as during the first transmissions.
This leads to decrease drasctically the chances of frame fragmentation due to
variable lengths of the packet fields. Furthermore the frames were not duplicated
when retransmitted from a packet to another one. This must be the case only during
packet loss dectection.
qc_dup_pkt_frms() is there to duplicate the frames from an input list to an output
list. A distinction is made between STREAM frames and the other ones because we
can rely on the "acknowledged offset" the aim of which is to track the number
of bytes which were acknowledged from TX STREAM frames.
qc_release_frm() in addition to release the frame passed as parameter, also mark
the duplicate STREAM frames as acknowledeged.
qc_send_hdshk_pkts() is the qc_send_app_pkts() counterpart to send datagrams from
at most two list of frames to be able to coalesced packets from two different
packet number spaces
qc_dgrams_retransmit() is there to probe the peer with datagrams depending on the
need of the packet number spaces which must be flag with QUIC_FL_PKTNS_PROBE_NEEDED
by the PTO timer task (qc_process_timer()).
Add QUIC_FL_CONN_RETRANS_NEEDED connection flag definition to mark a quic_conn
struct as needing a retranmission.
Add QUIC_FL_PKTNS_PROBE_NEEDED to mark a packet number space as needing a
datagram probing.
Set these flags from process_timer() to trigger datagram probings.
Do not initiate anymore datagrams probing from any quic encryption level.
This will be done from the I/O handlers (quic_conn_io_cb() during handshakes and
quic_conn_app_io_cb() after handshakes).
Add QUIC_FL_TX_PACKET_COALESCED flag to mark a TX packet as coalesced with others
to build a datagram.
Ensure we do not directly retransmit frames from such coalesced packets. They must
be retransmitted from their packet number spaces to avoid duplications.
We want to track the frames which have been duplicated during retransmissions so
that to avoid uselessly retransmitting frames which would already have been
acknowledged. ->origin new member is there to store the frame from which a copy
was done, ->reflist is a list to store the frames which are copies.
Also ensure all the frames are zeroed and that their ->reflist list member is
initialized.
Add QUIC_FL_TX_FRAME_ACKED flag definition to mark a TX frame as acknowledged.
Define 2 new callback for qcc_app_ops : attach and detach. They are
called when a qcs instance is respectively allocated and freed. If
implemented, they can allocate a custom context stored in the new
abstract field ctx of qcs.
For now, h3 and hq-interop does not use these new callbacks. They will
be soon implemented by the h3 layer to allocate a context used for
stateful demuxing.
This change is required to support the demuxing of H3 frames bigger than
a buffer.
Improve the reception for STREAM frames. In qcc_recv(), if the frame is
bigger than the remaining space in rx buffer, do not reject it wholly.
Instead, copy as much data as possible. The rest of the data is
buffered.
This is necessary to handle H3 frames bigger than a buffer. The H3 code
does not demux until the frame is complete or the buffer is full.
Without this, the transfer on payload larger than the Rx buffer can
rapidly freeze.
Add new qcs fields to count the sum of bytes received for each stream.
This is necessary to enforce flow-control for reception on the peer.
For the moment, the implementation is partial. No MAX_STREAM_DATA or
FLOW_CONTROL_ERROR are emitted. BUG_ON statements are here as a
remainder.
This means that for the moment we do not support POST payloads greater
that the initial max-stream-data announced (256k currently).
At least, we now ensure that we never buffer a frame which overflows the
flow-control limit : this ensures that the memory consumption per stream
should stay under control.
qcc_get_stream() was used when qcs and qc_stream_desc shared the same
node-tree. This is not the case anymore since
e4301da5ed9e77844c653ea4caf233546febe591
MINOR: quic-stream: use distinct tree nodes for quic stream and qcs
Now this function is broken as the qcc tree only contains qcs.
Thankfully it is unused so it can be removed without impact.
Low footprint client machines may not have enough memory to download a
complete 16KB TLS record at once. With the new option the maximum
record size can be defined on the server side.
Note: Before limiting the the record size on the server side, a client should
consider using the TLS Maximum Fragment Length Negotiation Extension defined
in RFC6066.
This patch fixes GitHub issue #1679.
If the "close-spread-time" option is set to "infinite", active
connection closing during a soft-stop can be disabled. The 'connection:
close' header or the GOAWAY frame will not be added anymore to the
server's response and active connections will only be closed once the
clients disconnect. Idle connections will not be closed all at once when
the soft-stop starts anymore, and each idle connection will follow its
own timeout based on the multiple timeouts set in the configuration (as
is the case during regular execution).
This feature request was described in GitHub issue #1614.
This patch should be backported to 2.5. It depends on 'MEDIUM: global:
Add a "close-spread-time" option to spread soft-stop on time window'.
While weak symbols were finally fixed with commit fb1b6f5bc ("BUILD:
compiler: use a more portable set of asm(".weak") statements"), it
was an error to think that initcall symbols were also weak. They must
not be and they're only global. The reason is that any externally
linked code loaded as a .so would drop its weak symbols when being
loaded, hence its initcalls that may contain various function
registration calls.
The ambiguity came from the fact that we initially reused the initcall's
HA_GLOBL macro for OSX then generalized it, then turned it to a choice
between .globl and .weak based on the OS, while in fact we needed a
macro to define weak symbols.
Let's rename the macro to HA_WEAK() to make it clear it's only for weak
symbols, and redefine HA_GLOBL() that initcall needs.
This will need to be backported wherever the commit above is backported
(at least 2.5 for now).
Instead of seeing each location manipulate the fcntl() themselves and
often forget to check previous flags, let's centralize the functions to
do this. It also allows to drop fcntl.h from most call places and will
ease the adoption of different OS-specific mechanisms if needed. Note
that the fd_set_nonblock() function purposely doesn't check the previous
flags as it's meant to be used on new FDs only.
__comp_fetch_init() only presets the maxzlibmem, and only when both
USE_ZLIB and DEFAULT_MAXZLIBMEM are set. The intent is to preset a
default value to protect the system against excessive memory usage
when no setting is set by the user.
Nowadays the entry in the global struct is always there so there's no
point anymore in passing via a constructor to possibly set this value.
Let's go the cleaner way by always presetting DEFAULT_MAXZLIBMEM to 0
in defaults.h unless these conditions are met, and always assigning it
instead of pre-setting the entry to zero. This is more straightforward
and removes some ifdefs and the last constructor. In addition, now the
setting has a chance of being found.
On some systems, the hard limit for ulimit -n may be huge, in the order
of 1 billion, and using this to automatically compute maxconn doesn't
work as it requires way too much memory. Users tend to hard-code maxconn
but that's not convenient to manage deployments on heterogenous systems,
nor when porting configs to developers' machines. The ulimit-n parameter
doesn't work either because it forces the limit. What most users seem to
want (and it makes sense) is to respect the system imposed limits up to
a certain value and cap this value. This is exactly what fd-hard-limit
does.
This addresses github issue #1622.
Almost all of our hash-based LB algorithms are implemented as special
cases of something that can now be achieved using sample expressions,
and some of them have adopted some options to adapt their behavior in
ways that could also be achieved using converters.
There are users who want to hash other parameters that are combined
into variables, and who set headers from these values and use
"balance hdr(name)" for this.
Instead of constantly implementing specific options and having users
hack around when they want a real hash, let's implement a native hash
mode that applies to a standard sample expression. This way, any
fetchable element (including variables) may be used to construct the
hash, even modified by any converter if desired.
This function's purpose is to wake up either a local or remote task,
bypassing the tree-based run queue. It is meant for fast wakeups that
are supposed to be equivalent to those used with tasklets, i.e. a task
had to pause some processing and can complete (typically a resource
becomes available again). In all cases, it's important to keep in mind
that the task must have gone through the regular scheduling path before
being blocked, otherwise the task priorities would be ignored.
The reason for this is that some wakeups are massively inter-thread
(e.g. server queues), that these inter-thread wakeups cause a huge
contention on the shared runqueue lock. A user reported 47% CPU spent
in process_runnable_tasks with only 32 threads and 80k requests in
queues. With this mechanism, purely one-to-one wakeups can avoid
taking the lock thanks to the mt_list used for the shared tasklet
queue.
Right now the shared tasklet queue moves everything to the TL_URGENT
queue. It's not dramatic but it would seem better to have a new shared
list dedicated to tasks, and that would deliver into TL_NORMAL, for an
even better fairness. This could be improved in the future.
This adds a call to function <fct> to the list of functions to be called at
the step just before the configuration validity checks. This is useful when you
need to create things like it would have been done during the configuration
parsing and where the initialization should continue in the configuration
check.
It could be used for example to generate a proxy with multiple servers using
the configuration parser itself. At this step the trash buffers are allocated.
Threads are not yet started so no protection is required. The function is
expected to return non-zero on success, or zero on failure. A failure will make
the process emit a succinct error message and immediately exit.
A conn-stream is never detached from an endpoint or an application alone,
except on a reset. Thus, to avoid any error, these functions are now
private. And cs_destroy() function is added to destroy a conn-stream. This
function is called when a stream is released, on the front and back
conn-streams, and when a health-check is finished.
This function does not release the applet but only call the applet release
callback. It is equivalent to cs_conn_shut() but for applets. Thus the
function is renamed cs_applet_shut().
These functions don't close the connection but only perform shutdown for
reads and writes at the mux level. It is a bit ambiguous. Thus,
cs_conn_close() is renamed cs_conn_shut() and cs_conn_drain_and_close() is
renamed cs_conn_drain_and_shut(). These both functions rely on
cs_conn_shutw() and cs_conn_shutr().
Starting from OpenSSLv3, providers are at the core of cryptography
functions. Depending on the provider used, the way the SSL
functionalities work could change. This new 'show ssl providers' CLI
command allows to show what providers were loaded by the SSL library.
This is required because the provider configuration is exclusively done
in the OpenSSL configuration file (/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf for
instance).
A new line is also added to the 'haproxy -vv' output containing the same
information.
Complete qc_send function. After having processed each qcs emission, it
will now retry send on qcs where transfer can continue. This is useful
when qc_stream_desc buffer is full and there is still data present in
qcs buf.
To implement this, each eligible qcs is inserted in a new list
<qcc.send_retry_list>. This is done on send notification from the
transport layer through qcc_streams_sent_done(). Retry emission until
send_retry_list is empty or the transport layer cannot proceed more
data.
Several send operations are now called on two different places. Thus a
new _qc_send_qcs() function is defined to factorize the code.
This change should maximize the throughput during QUIC transfers.
MUX streams can now allocate multiple buffers for sending. quic-conn is
responsible to limit the total count of allowed allocated buffers. A
counter is stored in the new field <stream_buf_count>.
For the moment, the value is hardcoded to 30.
On stream buffer allocation failure, the qcc MUX is flagged with
QC_CF_CONN_FULL. The MUX is then woken up as soon as a buffer is freed,
most notably on ACK reception.
Acknowledge of STREAM has been complexified with the introduction of
stream multi buffers. Two functions are executing roughly the same set
of instructions in xprt_quic.c.
To simplify this, move the code complexity in a new function
qc_stream_desc_ack(). It will handle offset calculation, removal of
data, freeing oldest buffer and freeing stream instance if required.
The qc_stream_desc API is cleaner as qc_stream_desc_free_buf() ambiguous
function has been removed.
Complete the qc_stream_desc type to support multiple buffers on
emission. The main objective is to increase the transfer throughput.
The MUX is now able to transfer more data without having to wait ACKs.
To implement this feature, a new type qc_stream_buf is declared. it
encapsulates a buffer with a list element. New functions are defined to
retrieve the current buffer, release it or allocate a new one. Each
buffer is kept in the qc_stream_desc list until all of its data is
acknowledged.
On the MUX side, a qcs uses the current stream buffer to transfer data.
Once the buffer is full, it is released and a new one will be allocated
on a future qc_send() invocation.
Add a new member <qc> in qc_stream_desc structure. This change is
possible since previous patch which add quic-conn argument to
qc_stream_desc_new().
The purpose of this change is to simplify the future evolution of
qc-stream-desc API. This will avoid to repeat qc as argument in various
functions which already used a qc_stream_desc.
Simplify the model qcs/qc_stream_desc. Each types has now its own tree
node, stored respectively in qcc and quic-conn trees. It is still
necessary to mark the stream as detached by the MUX once all data is
transfered to the lower layer.
This might improve slightly the performance on ACK management as now
only the lookup in quic-conn is necessary. On the other hand, memory
size of qcs structure is increased.
Regroup all type definitions and functions related to qc_stream_desc in
the source file src/quic_stream.c.
qc_stream_desc complexity will be increased with the development of Tx
multi-buffers. Having a dedicated module is useful to mix it with
pure transport/quic-conn code.
DHE ciphers do not present a security risk if the key is big enough but
they are slow and mostly obsoleted by ECDHE. This patch removes any
default DH parameters. This will effectively disable all DHE ciphers
unless a global ssl-dh-param-file is defined, or
tune.ssl.default-dh-param is set, or a frontend has DH parameters
included in its PEM certificate. In this latter case, only the frontends
that have DH parameters will have DHE ciphers enabled.
Adding explicitely a DHE ciphers in a "bind" line will not be enough to
actually enable DHE. We would still need to know which DH parameters to
use so one of the three conditions described above must be met.
This request was described in GitHub issue #1604.
MacOS can feed fc_rtt, fc_rttvar, fc_sacked, fc_lost and fc_retrans
so let's expose them on this platform.
Note that at the tcp(7) level, the API is slightly different, as
struct tcp_info is called tcp_connection_info and TCP_INFO is
called TCP_CONNECTION_INFO, so for convenience these ones were
defined to point to their equivalent. However there is a small
difference now in that tcpi_rtt is called tcpi_rttcur on this
platform, which forces us to make a special case for it before
other platforms.
The two recent patches b12966af1 ("BUILD: debug: mark the
__start_mem_stats/__stop_mem_stats symbols as weak") and 2a06e248f
("BUILD: initcall: mark the __start_i_* symbols as weak, not global")
aimed at fixing a build warning and resulted in a build breakage on
MacOS which doesn't have a ".weak" asm statement.
We've already had MacOS-specific asm() statements for section names, so
this patch continues on this trend by moving HA_GLOBL() to compiler.h
and using ".globl" on MacOS since apparently nobody complains there.
It is debatable whether to expose this only when !USE_OBSOLETE_LINKER
or all the time, but since these are just macroes it's no big deal to
let them be available when needed and let the caller decide on the
build conditions.
If any of the patches above is backported, this one will need to as
well.
Ilya reported in issue #1638 that Clang 14 has invented a new warning
that encourages to modify the code in a way that is not always
equivalent, by turning "|" to "||" between some logical operators,
except that the first one guarantees that all members of the expression
will always be evaluated while the latter will stop at the first one
which is true!
This warning triggers in thread_has_tasks(), which is not sensitive to
such change of behavior but which is built this way because it results
in branchless code for something that most often evaluates to false for
all terms. As such it was out of question to turn this to less efficient
compare-and-jump that needlessly pollute the branch predictor, so the
workaround consists in casting each expression to (int). It was verified
that the code is the same.
Yet another example of how-to-introduce-bugs-by-fixing-valid-code
through warnings invented around a beer without thinking longer!
This may need to be backported to a few older branches in case this
compiler lands in recent distros or if gcc finds it wise to imitate it.
Just like for previous fix, these symbols are marked ".globl" during
their declaration, but their later mention uses __attribute__((weak)),
so it's better to only use ".weak" during the declaration so that the
symbol's class does not change.
No need to backport this unless someone reports build issues.
