The cconf variable was not initialized before the two first possible
error exits before being freed, resulting in random crashes instead
of displaying an error message if the cache ID was missing from the
filter declaration.
No backport is needed, this is exclusively 1.9.
These tests upload contents and randomly make the server start to
respond before the client finishes to upload data, making the test
occasionally fail. Waiting for a body in the server doesn't always
work, depending on the method or how the data are advertised. Thus,
let's ask haproxy to wait for the request using the aforementioned
option, it guarantees that the DATA frame is sent before the response
HEADERS frame is delivered.
The leastconn algorithm queues available servers based on their weighted
current load. But this results in an inaccurate load balancing when weights
differ and the load is very low, because what matters is not the load before
picking the server but the load resulting from picking the server. At the
very least, it must be granted that servers with the highest weight are
always picked first when no server has any connection.
This patch addresses this by simply adding one to the current connections
count when queuing the server, since this is the load the server will have
once picked. This finally allows to bridge the gap that existed between
the "leastconn" and the "first" algorithms.
These tests send GET/HEAD/POST requests in H1 and H2, with and without
HTX, with and without a body, and verify that the behaviour is the expected
one. For now HEAD requests have been commented out because in H1 they are
not really testable as varnishtest expects to read a body, and in H2 the
behaviour depends on HTX/legacy, indicating a bug in haproxy (it looks
like we can deliver some data in response to HEAD in legacy mode).
With this test we check that the health-checks do not consume any connection on
the backend side.

Add a new target to the Makefile named "reg-tests-help" to have an idea
about how to run the reg tests from haproxy Makefile.
Handle list of levels and lists of level range passed to make with LEVEL variable.
New supported syntax:
LEVEL=1,4 make reg-tests
LEVEL=1-2,5-6 make reg-tests
Add two new levels 5 and 6. 5 is for broken script, 6 for experimental scripts.

In the mux detach function, when using HTX, take the connection over if
it no longer has an owner (ie because the session that was the owner left).
It is done for legacy code in proto_http.c, but not for HTX.
Also when using HTX, in H2, try to add the connection back to idle_conns if
it was not already (ie we used to use all the available streams, and we're
freeing one). That too was done in proto_http.c.
Before trying to add a connection to the idle list, make sure it doesn't
have the error, the shutr or the shutw flag. If any of them is present,
don't bother trying to recycle the connection, it's going to be destroyed
anyway.
A first patch was pushed to fix this bug if it happens during the headers
parsing. But it is also possible to hit the bug during the parsing of
chunks. For instance, if the server sends only part of the trailers, some data
remains unparsed. So it the server closes its connection without sending the end
of the response, we fall back again into an infinite loop.
The fix contains in 2 parts. First, we block the receive if a read0 or an error
is detected on the connection, independently if the input buffer is empty or
not. Then, the flags CS_FL_RCV_MORE and CL_FL_WANT_ROOM are always reset when
input data are processed. We set them again only when necessary.
Add a new method to mux, "reset", that is used to let the mux know the
connection attempt failed, and we're about to retry, so it just have to
reinit itself. Currently only the H1 mux needs it.
When the connection failed, we don't really want to close the conn_stream,
as we're probably about to retry, so just make sure the file descriptor is
closed.
In si_cs_recv(), report that arrive at the end of stream only if we were
indeed connected, we don't want that if the connection failed and we're about
to retry.
CS_FL_EOS | CS_FL_REOS can be set by the mux if the connection failed, so make
sure we remove them before retrying to connect, or it may lead to a premature
close of the connection.
Varnishtest is not happy to see the window update come before the
settings ACK, as by default it expects exactly tx/rx/txack/rxack.
One workaround could consist in making haproxy send the WU after
the settings ACK but this would be a real hack as the preface is
already finished when sending this ack. Instead, let's make the
initial sequence explicit in the tests.
In the master CLI, the commands and the prefix were still parsed and
trimmed after the pattern payload. Don't parse anything but the end of a
line till we are in payload mode.
Put the search of the pattern after the trim so we can use correctly a
payload with a command which is prefixed by @.
Handle the CLI level in the master CLI. In order to do this, the master
CLI stores the level in the stream. Each command are prefixed by a
"user" or "operator" command before they are forwarded to the target
CLI.
The level can be configured in the haproxy program arguments with the
level keyword: -S /tmp/sock,level,admin -S /tmp/sock2,level,user.
Implement "show cli level" which show the level of the current CLI
session.
Implement "operator" and "user" which lower the permissions of the
current CLI session.
The maximum number of bytes in a DNS name is indeed 255, but we
need to allocate one more byte for the NULL-terminating byte.
Otherwise dns_read_name() might return 255 for a very long name,
causing dns_validate_dns_response() to write a NULL value one
byte after the end of the buffer:
dns_answer_record->name[len] = 0;
The next fields in the struct being filled from the content of the
query, it might have been possible to fill them with non-0 values,
causing for example a strlen() of the name to read past the end of
the struct and access unintended parts of the memory, possibly
leading to a crash.
To be backported to 1.8, probably also 1.7.
Since the data_len field of the dns_answer_item struct was an int16_t,
record length values larger than 2^15-1 were causing an integer
overflow and thus may have been interpreted as negative, making us
read well before the beginning of the buffer.
This might have led to information disclosure or a crash.
To be backported to 1.8, probably also 1.7.
We need to make sure that the record length is not making us read
past the end of the data we received.
Before this patch we could for example read the 16 bytes
corresponding to an AAAA record from the non-initialized part of
the buffer, possibly accessing anything that was left on the stack,
or even past the end of the 8193-byte buffer, depending on the
value of accepted_payload_size.
To be backported to 1.8, probably also 1.7.
Some callers of dns_read_name() do not make sure that we can read
the first byte, holding the length of the next label, without going
past our buffer, so we need to make sure of that.
In addition, if the label is a compressed one we need to make sure
that we can read the following byte to compute the target offset.
To be backported to 1.8, probably also 1.7.
When a compressed pointer is encountered, dns_read_name() will call
itself with the pointed-to offset in the packet.
With a specially crafted packet, it was possible to trigger an
infinite-loop recursion by making the pointer points to itself.
While it would be possible to handle that particular case differently
by making sure that the target is different from the current offset,
it would still be possible to craft a packet with a very long chain
of valid pointers, always pointing backwards. To prevent a stack
exhaustion in that case, this patch restricts the number of recursive
calls to 100, which should be more than enough.
To be backported to 1.8, probably also 1.7.
The commit 3815b227f ("MEDIUM: mux-h1: implement true zero-copy of DATA blocks")
broke the output of chunked messages. When the zero-copy was performed on such
messages, no chunk size was emitted nor ending CRLF.
Now, the chunked envelope is added when necessary. We have at least the size of
the struct htx to emit it. So 40 bytes for now. It should be enough.
Change the output of the relative pid for the old processes, displays
"[was: X]" instead of just "X" which was confusing if you want to
connect to the CLI of an old PID.
H2 has a 9-byte frame header, and HTX has a 40-byte frame header.
By artificially advancing the Rx header and limiting the amount of
bytes read to protect the end of the buffer, we can make the data
payload perfectly aligned with HTX blocks and optimize the copy.
This is similar to what was done for the H1 mux : when the mux's buffer
is empty and the htx area contains exactly one data block of the same
size as the requested count, and all window and frame size conditions are
satisfied, then it's possible to simply swap the caller's buffer with the
mux's output buffer and adjust offsets and length to match the entire
DATA HTX block in the middle. An H2 frame header has to be prepended
before the block but this always fits in an HTX frame header.
In this case we perform a true zero-copy operation from end-to-end. This
is the situation that happens all the time with large files. When using
HTX over H2 over TLS, this brings a 3% extra performance gain. TLS remains
a limiting factor here but the copy definitely has a cost. Also since
haproxy can now use H2 in clear, the savings can be higher.
Due to blocking factor being different on H1 and H2, we regularly end
up with tails of data blocks that leave room in the mux buffer, making
it tempting to copy the pending frame into the remaining room left, and
possibly realigning the output buffer.
Here we check if the output buffer contains data, and prefer to wait
if either the current frame doesn't fit or if it's larger than 1/4 of
the buffer. This way upon next call, either a zero copy, or a larger
and aligned copy will be performed, taking the whole chunk at once.
Doing so increases the H2 bandwidth by slightly more than 1% on large
objects.
By default H2 uses a 65535 bytes window for the connection, and changing
it requires sending a WINDOW_UPDATE message. We only used to update the
window when receiving data, thus never increasing it further.
As reported by user klzgrad on the mailing list, this seriously limits
the upload bitrate, and will have an even higher impact on the backend
H2 connections to origin servers.
There is no technical reason for keeping this window so low, so let's
increase it to the maximum possible value (2G-1). We do this by
pretending we've already received that many data minus the maximum
data the client might already send (65535), so that an early
WINDOW_UPDATE message is sent right after the SETTINGS frame.
This should be backported to 1.8. This patch depends on previous
patch "BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: refrain from muxing during the preface".
The condition to refrain from processing the mux was insufficient as it
would only handle the outgoing connections. In essence it is not that much
of a problem since we don't have streams yet on an incoming connetion. But
it prevents waiting for the end of the preface before sending an early
WINDOW_UPDATE message, thus causing the connections to fail in this case.
This must be backported to 1.8 with a few minor adaptations.
Since HTX casts the buffer to a struct and stores relative pointers at the
end, it is mandatory that its end is properly aligned. This patch enforces
a buffer size rounding up to the next multiple of two void*, thus 8 on
32-bit and 16 on 64-bit, to match what malloc() already does on the beginning
of the buffer. In pratice it will never be really noticeable since default
sizes already are such multiples.
When the mux's buffer is empty and the htx area contains exactly one
data block of the same size as the requested count, then it's possible
to simply swap the caller's buffer with the mux's output buffer and
adjust offsets and length to match the entire DATA HTX block in the
middle. In this case we perform a true zero-copy operation from
end-to-end. This is the situation that happens all the time with large
files. With this change, the HTX bit rate performance catches up again
with the legacy mode (measured at 97%).
These flags haven't been used for a while. SF_TUNNEL was reintroduced
by commit d62b98c6e ("MINOR: stream: don't set backend's nor response
analysers on SF_TUNNEL") to handle the two-level streams needed to
deal with the first model for H2, and was not removed after this model
was abandonned. SF_INITIALIZED was only set. SF_CONN_TAR was never
referenced at all.
Now that h1 and legacy HTTP are two distinct things, there's no need
to keep the legacy HTTP parsers in h1.c since they're only used by
the legacy code in proto_http.c, and h1.h doesn't need to include
hdr_idx anymore. This concerns the following functions :
- http_parse_reqline();
- http_parse_stsline();
- http_msg_analyzer();
- http_forward_trailers();
All of these were moved to http_msg.c.
Lots of HTTP code still uses struct http_msg. Not only this code is
still huge, but it's part of the legacy interface. Let's move most
of these functions to a separate file http_msg.c to make it more
visible which file relies on what. It's mostly symmetrical with
what is present in http_htx.c.
The function http_transform_header_str() which used to rely on two
function pointers to look up a header was simplified to rely on
two variants http_legacy_replace_{,full_}header(), making both
sides of the function much simpler.
No code was changed beyond these moves.
All the HTX definition is self-contained and doesn't really depend on
anything external since it's a mostly protocol. In addition, some
external similar files (like h2) also placed in common used to rely
on it, making it a bit awkward.
This patch moves the two htx.h files into a single self-contained one.
The historical dependency on sample.h could be also removed since it
used to be there only for http_meth_t which is now in http.h.
As for the compression filter, the cache filter must be explicitly declared
(using the filter keyword) if other filters than cache are used. It is mandatory
to explicitly define the filters order.
Documentation has been updated accordingly.
