When data was copied from RX buffers to the channel buffer, more data than
expected could be moved because amount of data copied was never decremented
from the limit. This could lead to a stream dead lock when the compression
filter was inuse.
The issue was introduced by commit 4eb3ff1 ("MAJOR: mux-h2: make streams use
the connection's buffers") but revealed by 3816c38 ("MAJOR: mux-h2: permit a
stream to allocate as many buffers as desired").
Because a h2 stream can now have several RX buffers, in h2_rcv_buf(), we
loop on these buffers to fill the channel buffer. However, we must still
take care to respect the limit to not copy to much data. However, the
"count" variable was never decremented to reflect amount of data already
copied. So, it was possible to exceed the limit.
It was an issue when the compression filter was inuse because the channel
buffer could be fully filled, preventing the compression to be
performed. When this happened, the stream was infinitly blocked because the
compression filter was asking for some space but nothing was scheduled to be
forwarded.
This patch should fix the issue #2826. It must be backported to 3.1.
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.
