qc_prep_pkts() encodes input data into QUIC packets in a loop into one or several datagrams. It supports GSO which requires to built a serie of multiple datagrams of the same length. Each packet encoding is performed via a call to qc_do_build_pkt(). This function has an argument to specify if output packet must be completed with a PADDING frame. This option is activated when qc_prep_pkts() encodes the last packet of a datagram with at least one INITIAL packet in it. Padding is resetted each time a new datagram is started. However, this was not performed if GSO is used to built the next datagram. This patch fixes it by properly resetting padding in this case also. The impact of this bug is unknown. It may have several effectfs, one of the most obvious being the insertion of unnecessary padding in packets. It could also potentially trigger an infinite loop in qc_prep_pkts(), although this has never been encountered so far. This must be backported up 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.
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
