Willy Tarreau 8522348482 BUG/MAJOR: conn-idle: fix hash indexing issues on idle conns ...

Idle connections do not work on 32-bit machines due to an alignment issue
causing the connection nodes to be indexed with their lower 32-bits set to
zero and the higher 32 ones containing the 32 lower bitss of the hash. The
cause is the use of ebmb_node with an aligned data, as on this platform
ebmb_node is only 32-bit aligned, leaving a hole before the following hash
which is a uint64_t:

  $ pahole -C conn_hash_node ./haproxy
  struct conn_hash_node {
        struct ebmb_node           node;                 /*     0    20 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        int64_t                    hash;                 /*    24     8 */
        struct connection *        conn;                 /*    32     4 */

        /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
        /* sum members: 32, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
  };

Instead, eb64 nodes should be used when it comes to simply storing a
64-bit key, and that is what this patch does.

For backports, a variant consisting in simply marking the "hash" member
with a "packed" attribute on the struct also does the job (tested), and
might be preferable if the fix is difficult to adapt. Only 2.6 and 2.5
are affected by this.
