In the same way than for the request, when a redirect rule is applied the
transction is aborted. This must be done returning HTTP_RULE_RES_ABRT from
http_res_get_intercept_rule() function.
No backport needed because on previous versions, the action return values are
not handled the same way.
Backend counters must be incremented only if a backend was already assigned to
the stream (when the stream exists). Otherwise, it means we are still on the
frontend side.
This patch may be backported as far as 1.6.
When an action interrupts a transaction, returning a response or not, it must
return the ACT_RET_ABRT value and not ACT_RET_STOP. ACT_RET_STOP is reserved to
stop the processing of the current ruleset.
No backport needed because on previous versions, the action return values are
not handled the same way.
When at least a filter is attached to a stream, FLT_END analyzers must be
preserved on request and response channels.
This patch should be backported as far as 1.7.
Since the HTX mode is the only mode to process HTTP messages, the stream is
created for a uniq transaction. The keep-alive is handled at the mux level. So,
the compression filter can be initialized when the stream is created and
released with the stream. Concretly, .channel_start_analyze and
.channel_end_analyze callback functions are replaced by .attach and .detach
ones.
With this change, it is no longer necessary to call FLT_START_FE/BE and FLT_END
analysers for the compression filter.

A typo was introduced by the commit c5bb5a0f2 ("BUG/MINOR: http-rules: Preserve
FLT_END analyzers on reject action").
This patch must be backported with the commit c5bb5a0f2.
When at least a filter is attached to a stream, FLT_END analyzers must be
preserved on request and response channels.
This patch should be backported as far as 1.8.
When an action interrupts a transaction, returning a response or not, it must
return the ACT_RET_ABRT value and not ACT_RET_DONE. ACT_RET_DONE is reserved to
stop the processing on the current channel but some analysers may still be
active. When ACT_RET_ABRT is returned, all analysers are removed, except FLT_END
if it is set.
No backport needed because on previous verions, the action return value was not
handled the same way.
It is stated in the comment the return action returns ACT_RET_ABRT on
success. It it the right code to use to abort a transaction. ACT_RET_DONE must
be used when the message processing must be stopped. This does not means the
transaction is interrupted.
No backport needed.
The wake_time of a lua context is now always set to TICK_ETERNITY when the
context is initialized and when everytime the execution of the lua stack is
started. It is mandatory to not set arbitrary wake_time when an action yields.
No backport needed.
This flag was used in some internal functions to be sure the current stream is
able to handle HTTP content. It was introduced when the legacy HTTP code was
still there. Now, It is possible to rely on stream's flags to be sure we have an
HTX stream.
So the flag HLUA_TXN_HTTP_RDY can be removed. Everywhere it was tested, it is
replaced by a call to the IS_HTX_STRM() macro.
This patch is mandatory to allow the support of the filters written in lua.
In these functions, the lua txn was not used. So it can be removed from the
function argument list.
This patch is mandatory to allow the support of the filters written in lua.
In this function, the lua txn was only used to retrieve the stream. But it can
be retieve from the HTTP message, using its channel pointer. So, the lua txn can
be removed from the function argument list.
This patch is mandatory to allow the support of the filters written in lua.
In this function, the lua txn was only used to test if the HTTP transaction is
defined. But it is always used in a context where it is true. So, the lua txn
can be removed from the function argument list.
This patch is mandatory to allow the support of the filters written in lua.
The Lua function Channel.is_full() should not take care of the reserve because
it is not called from a producer (an applet for instance). From an action, it is
allowed to overwrite the buffer reserve.
This patch should be backported as far as 1.7. But it must be adapted for 1.8
and lower because there is no HTX on these versions.
When a lua action aborts a transaction calling txn:done() function, the action
must return ACT_RET_ABRT instead of ACT_RET_DONE. It is mandatory to
abort the message analysis.
This patch must be backported everywhere the commit 7716cdf45 ("MINOR: lua: Get
the action return code on the stack when an action finishes") was
backported. For now, no backport needed.
When an error occurred on the response side, request analysers must be reset. At
this stage, only AN_REQ_HTTP_XFER_BODY analyser remains, and possibly
AN_REQ_FLT_END, if at least one filter is attached to the stream. So it is safe
to remove the AN_REQ_HTTP_XFER_BODY analyser. An error was already handled and a
response was already returned to the client (or it was at least scheduled to be
sent). So there is no reason to continue to process the request payload. It may
cause some troubles for the filters because when an error occurred, data from
the request buffer are truncated.
This patch must be backported as far as 1.9, for the HTX part only. I don't know
if the legacy HTTP code is affected.
During the payload filtering, the offset is relative to the head of the HTX
message and not its first index. This index is the position of the first block
to (re)start the HTTP analysis. It must be used during HTTP analysis but not
during the payload forwarding.
So, from the compression filter point of view, when we loop on the HTX blocks to
compress the response payload, we must start from the head of the HTX
message. To ease the loop, we use the function htx_find_offset().
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0. It depends on the commit "MINOR:
htx: Add a function to return a block at a specific an offset". So this one must
be backported first.

If a filter enable the data filtering, in TCP or in HTTP, but it does not
defined the corresponding callback function (so http_payload() or
tcp_payload()), it will be ignored. If all configured data filter do the same,
we must be sure to forward everything. Otherwise nothing will be forwarded at
all.
This patch must be forwarded as far as 1.9.
When the tcp or http payload is filtered, it is important to use the filter
offset to decude the amount of forwarded data because this offset may change
during the call to the callback function. So we should not rely on a local
variable defined before this call.
For now, existing HAproxy filters don't change this offset, so this bug may only
affect external filters.
This patch must be forwarded as far as 1.9.
The htx_find_offset() function may be used to look for a block at a specific
offset in an HTX message, starting from the message head. A compound result is
returned, an htx_ret structure, with the found block and the position of the
offset in the block. If the offset is ouside of the HTX message, the returned
block is NULL.
The b_insert_blk() function may now be used to insert a string, given a pointer
and the string length, at an absolute offset in a buffer, moving data between
this offset and the buffer's tail just after the end of the inserted string. The
buffer's length is automatically updated. This function supports wrapping. All
the string is copied or nothing. So it returns 0 if there are not enough space
to perform the copy. Otherwise, the number of bytes copied is returned.
This patch fixes PROXYv2 parsing when the payload of the TCP connection is
fused with the PROXYv2 header within a single recv() call.
Previously HAProxy ignored the PROXYv2 header length when attempting to
parse the TLV, possibly interpreting the first byte of the payload as a
TLV type.
This patch adds proper validation. It ensures that:
1. TLV parsing stops when the end of the PROXYv2 header is reached.
2. TLV lengths cannot exceed the PROXYv2 header length.
3. The PROXYv2 header ends together with the last TLV, not allowing for
"stray bytes" to be ignored.
A reg-test was added to ensure proper behavior.
This patch tries to find the sweat spot between a small and easily
backportable one, and a cleaner one that's more easily adaptable to
older versions, hence why it merges the "if" and "while" blocks which
causes a reindent of the whole block. It should be used as-is for
versions 1.9 to 2.1, the block about PP2_TYPE_AUTHORITY should be
dropped for 2.0 and the block about CRC32C should be dropped for 1.8.
This bug was introduced when TLV parsing was added. This happened in commit
b3e54fe387. This commit was first released
with HAProxy 1.6-dev1.
A similar issue was fixed in commit 7209c204bd.
This patch must be backported to HAProxy 1.6+.
James Stroehmann reported something working as documented but that can
be considered as a regression in the way the automatic maxconn is
calculated from the process' limits :
https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg36523.html
The purpose of the changes in 2.0 was to have maxconn default to the
highest possible value permitted to the user based on the ulimit -n
setting, however the calculation starts from the soft limit, which
can be lower than what users were allowed to with previous versions
where the default value of 2000 would force a higher ulimit -n as
long as it fitted in the hard limit.
Usually this is not noticeable if the user changes the limits, because
quite commonly setting a new value restricts both the soft and hard
values.
Let's instead always use the max between the hard and soft limits, as
we know these values are permitted. This was tried on the following
setup:
$ cat ulimit-n.cfg
global
stats socket /tmp/sock1 level admin
$ ulimit -n
1024
Before the change the limits would show like this:
$ socat - /tmp/sock1 <<< "show info" | grep -im2 ^Max
Maxsock: 1023
Maxconn: 489
After the change the limits are now much better and more in line with
the default settings in earlier versions:
$ socat - /tmp/sock1 <<< "show info" | grep -im2 ^Max
Maxsock: 4095
Maxconn: 2025
The difference becomes even more obvious when running moderately large
configs with hundreds of checked servers and hundreds of listeners:
$ cat ulimit-n.cfg
global
stats socket /tmp/sock1 level admin
listen l
bind :10000-10300
server-template srv- 300 0.0.0.0 check disabled
Before After
Maxsock 1024 4096
Maxconn 189 1725
This issue is tagged as minor since a trivial config change fixes it,
but it would help new users to have it backported as far as 2.0.
pattern_finalize_config() uses an inefficient algorithm which is a
problem with very large configuration files. This affects startup, and
therefore reload time. When haproxy is deployed as a router in a
Kubernetes cluster the generated configuration file may be large and
reloads are frequently occuring, which makes this a significant issue.
The old algorithm is O(n^2)
* allocate missing uids - O(n^2)
* sort linked list - O(n^2)
The new algorithm is O(n log n):
* find the user allocated uids - O(n)
* store them for efficient lookup - O(n log n)
* allocate missing uids - n times O(log n)
* sort all uids - O(n log n)
* convert back to linked list - O(n)
Performance examples, startup time in seconds:
pat_refs old new
1000 0.02 0.01
10000 2.1 0.04
20000 12.3 0.07
30000 27.9 0.10
40000 52.5 0.14
50000 77.5 0.17
Please backport to 1.8, 2.0 and 2.1.
`istalloc` allocates memory and returns an `ist` with the size `0` that points
to this allocation.
`istfree` frees the pointed memory and clears the pointer.
This command is used to produce an arbitrary amount of data on the
output. It can be used to test the CLI's state machine as well as
the internal parts related to applets an I/O. A typical test consists
in asking for all sizes from 0 to 16384:
$ (echo "prompt;expert-mode on";for i in {0..16384}; do
echo "debug dev write $i"; done) | socat - /tmp/sock1 | wc -c
134258738
A better test would consist in first waiting for the response before
sending a new request.
This command is not restricted to the admin since it's harmless.
There's a build error reported here:
c9c6cdbf9c/checks
It's just caused by an inconditional assignment of tmp_filter to
*sni_filter without having been initialized, though it's harmless because
this return pointer is not used when fcount is NULL, which is the only
case where this happens.
No backport is needed as this was brought today by commit 38df1c8006
("MINOR: ssl/cli: support crt-list filters").
It was only possible to go down from the ckch_store to the sni_ctx but
not to go up from the sni_ctx to the ckch_store.
To allow that, 2 pointers were added:
- a ckch_inst pointer in the struct sni_ctx
- a ckckh_store pointer in the struct ckch_inst
Generate a list of the previous filters when updating a certificate
which use filters in crt-list. Then pass this list to the function
generating the sni_ctx during the commit.
This feature allows the update of the crt-list certificates which uses
the filters with "set ssl cert".
This function could be probably replaced by creating a new
ckch_inst_new_load_store() function which take the previous sni_ctx list as
an argument instead of the char **sni_filter, avoiding the
allocation/copy during runtime for each filter. But since are still
handling the multi-cert bundles, it's better this way to avoid code
duplication.
When building with DEBUG_STRICT, there are still some BUG_ON(events&event_type)
in the subscribe() code which are not welcome anymore since we explicitly
permit to wake the caller up on readiness. This causes some regtests to fail
since 2c1f37d353 ("OPTIM: mux-h1: subscribe rather than waking up at a few
other places") when built with this option.
No backport is needed, this is 2.2-dev.
This is another round of conversion from a blind tasklet_wakeup() to
