A ClientHello may be splitted accross several different CRYPTO frames, then mixed in a single QUIC packet. This is used notably by clients such as chrome to render the first Initial packet opaque to middleboxes. Each packet frame is handled sequentially. Out-of-order CRYPTO frames are buffered in a ncbuf, until gaps are filled and data is transferred to the SSL stack. If CRYPTO frames are heavily splitted with small fragments, buffering may fail as ncbuf does not support small gaps. This causes the whole packet to be rejected and unacknowledged. It could be solved if the client reemits its ClientHello after remixing its CRYPTO frames. This patch is written to improve CRYPTO frame parsing. Each CRYPTO frames which cannot be buffered due to ncbuf limitation are now stored in a temporary list. Packet parsing is completed until all frames have been handled. If temporary list is not empty, reparsing is done on the stored frames. With the newly buffered CRYPTO frames, ncbuf insert operation may this time succeeds if the frame now covers a whole gap. Reparsing will loop until either no progress can be made or it has been done at least 3 times, to prevent CPU utilization. This patch should fix github issue #2776. This should be backported up to 2.6, after a period of observation. Note that it relies on the following refactor patches : MINOR: quic: extend return value of CRYPTO parsing MINOR: quic: use dynamically allocated frame on parsing MINOR: quic: simplify qc_parse_pkt_frms() return path
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:
- INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
- BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
- LICENSE for the project's license
- CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
- doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
- doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
- doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
- doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
- doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
- doc/management.txt for the management guide
- doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
- doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
- doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
- doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
