As mentioned in b40d804 ("MINOR: sink: add some comments about sft->appctx
usage in applet handlers"), there are few places in the code where it
looks like we assumed that the applet callbacks such as
sink_forward_session_init() or sink_forward_io_handler() could be
executing an appctx whose sft is detached from the appctx
(appctx != sft->appctx).
In practise this should not be happening since an appctx sticks to the
same thread its entire lifetime, and the only times sft->appctx is
effectively assigned is during the session/appctx creation (in
process_sink_forward()) or release.
Thus if sft->appctx wouldn't point to the appctx that the sft was bound
to after appctx creation, it would probably indicate a bug rather than
an expected condition. To further emphasize that and prevent the
confusion, and since 3.1-dev4 was released, let's remove such checks and
instead add a BUG_ON to ensure this never happens.
In _sink_forward_io_handler(), the "hard_close" label was removed since
there are no more uses for it (no hard errors may be caught from the
function for now)
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)
