Patrick Hemmer reported a rare case where the H2 mux emits spurious
RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED) that are triggered by the send path and do
not even appear to be associated with a previous incoming frame, while
the send path never emits such a thing.
The problem is particularly complex (hence its rarity). What happens is
that when data are uploaded (POST) we must refill the sending stream's
window by sending a WINDOW_UPDATE message (and we must refill the
connection's too). But in a highly bidirectional traffic, it is possible
that the mux's buffer will be full and that there is no more room to build
this WINDOW_UPDATE frame. In this case the demux parser switches to the
H2_CS_FRAME_A state, noting that an "acknowledgement" is needed for the
current frame, and it doesn't change the current stream nor frame type.
But the stream's state was possibly updated (typically OPEN->HREM when
a DATA frame carried the ES flag).
Later the data can leave the buffer, wake up h2_io_cb(), which calls
h2_send() to send pending data, itself calling h2_process_mux() which
detects that there are unacked data in the connection's window so it
emits a WINDOW_UPDATE for the connection and resets the counter. so it
emits a WINDOW_UPDATE for the connection and resets the counter. Then
h2_process() calls h2_process_demux() which continues the processing
based on the current frame type and the current state H2_CS_FRAME_A.
Unfortunately the protocol compliance checks matching the frame type
against the current state are still present. These tests are designed
for new frames only, not for those in progress, but they are not
limited by frame types. Thus the current DATA frame is checked again
against the current stream state that is now HREM, and fails the test
with a STREAM_CLOSED error.
The quick and backportable solution consists in adding the test for
this ACK and bypass all these checks that were already validated prior
to the state transition. A better long-term solution would consist in
having a new state between H and P indicating the frame is new and
needs to be checked ("N" for new?) and apply the protocol tests only
in this state. In addition everywhere we decide to send a window
update, we should send a stream WU first if there are unacked data
for the current stream. Last, rcvd_s should always be reset when
transitioning to FRAME_H (and a BUGON for this in dev would help).
The bug will be way harder to trigger on 2.0 than on 1.8/1.9 because
we have a ring buffer for the connection so the buffer full situations
are extremely rare.
This fix must be backpored to all versions having H2 (as far as 1.8).
Special thanks to Patrick for providing exploitable traces.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. 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)
