In the rare case of immediate connect() (unix sockets, socket pairs, and
occasionally TCP over the loopback), it is counter-productive to subscribe
for sending and then getting immediately back to process_stream() after
having passed through si_cs_process() just to update the connection. We
already know it is established and it doesn't have any handshake anymore
so we just have to complete it and return to process_stream() with the
stream_interface in the SI_ST_RDY state. In this case, process_stream will
simply loop back to the beginning to synchronize the state and turn it to
SI_ST_EST/ASS/CLO/TAR etc.
This will save us from having to needlessly subscribe in the connect()
code, something which in addition cannot work with edge-triggered pollers.
With commit 065a025610 ("MEDIUM: connection: don't stop receiving events
in the FD handler") we disabled a number of fd_stop_* in conn_fd_handler(),
in order to wait for their respective handlers to deal with them. But it
is not correct to do that for the send direction, as we may very well
have nothing to send. This is visible when connecting in TCP mode to
a server with no data to send, there's nobody anymore to disable the
polling for the send direction.
And it is logical, on the recv() path we know the system has data to
deliver and that some code will be in charge of it. On the send
direction we simply don't know if it was the result of a successful
connect() or if there is still something to send. In any case we
almost never fill the network buffer on a single send() after being
woken up by the system, so disabling the FD immediately or much later
will not change the number of operations.
No backport is needed, this is 2.2-dev.
I'm quite fed up with having to rebuild everything from scratch after each
and every "make reg-tests", especially during bisects. The only reason for
this is that there are no build options passed to make for reg-tests, which
modifies the .build_opts file again, resulting in a change upon next build.
Let's just keep this file out of the dependency check for make reg-tests.
The approach was wrong. USE_DL is for the makefile to know if it's required
to append -ldl at link time. Some platforms do not need it (and in fact do
not have it) yet they have a working dladdr(). The real condition is related
to ELF. Given that due to Lua, all platforms that require -ldl already have
USE_DL set, let's replace USE_DL with __ELF__ here and consider that dladdr
is always needed on ELF, which basically is already the case.
resolve_sym_name() doesn't build when USE_DL is set on non-GNU platforms
because "Elf(W)" isn't defined. Since it's only used for dladdr1(), let's
refactor all this so that we can completely ifdef out that part on other
platforms. Now we have a separate function to perform the call depending
on the platform and it only returns the size when available.
Instead of special-casing the use of the symbol resolving to decide
whether to dump a partial or complete trace, let's simply start over
and dump everything when we reach the end after having found nothing.
It will be more robust against dirty traces as well.
A test on FreeBSD with clang 4 to 8 produces this on a call to a
spinning loop on the CLI:
call trace(5):
| 0x53e2bc [eb 16 48 63 c3 48 c1 e0]: wdt_handler+0x10c
| 0x800e02cfe [e8 5d 83 00 00 8b 18 8b]: libthr:pthread_sigmask+0x53e
with our own function it correctly produces this:
call trace(20):
| 0x53e2dc [eb 16 48 63 c3 48 c1 e0]: wdt_handler+0x10c
| 0x800e02cfe [e8 5d 83 00 00 8b 18 8b]: libthr:pthread_sigmask+0x53e

So let's add clang+x86_64 to the list of platforms that will use our
simplified version. As a bonus it will not require to link with
-lexecinfo on FreeBSD and will work out of the box when passing
USE_BACKTRACE=1.
It happens that on aarch64 backtrace() only returns one entry (tested
with gcc 4.7.4, 5.5.0 and 7.4.1). Probably that it refrains from unwinding
the stack due to the risk of hitting a bad pointer. Here we can use
may_access() to know when it's safe, so we can actually unwind the stack
without taking risks. It happens that the faulting function (the one
just after the signal handler) is not listed here, very likely because
the signal handler uses a special stack and did not create a new frame.
So this patch creates a new my_backtrace() function in standard.h that
either calls backtrace() or does its own unrolling. The choice depends
on HA_HAVE_WORKING_BACKTRACE which is set in compat.h based on the build
target.
It's useful to get an indication of unresolved stuff or memory
corruption to have the apparent depth of the stack trace in the
output, especially if we dump nothing.
At least FreeBSD has a fully functional CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME but it
cannot create a timer on it. This is not a problem since our timer is
only used to measure each thread's usage using now_cpu_time_thread().
So by just replacing this clock with CLOCK_REALTIME we allow such
platforms to periodically call the wdt and check the thread's CPU usage.
The consequence is that even on a totally idle system there will still
be a few extra periodic wakeups, but the watchdog becomes usable there
as well.
Statically building on for i386/x86_64 on linux+glibc 2.18 fails in rt with
undefined references to pthread_attr_init and a few others. Let's just swap
the two libs in order to fix this.
On operating systems not supporting to create a timer on
POSIX_THREAD_CPUTIME we emit a warning but we return an error so the
process fails to start, which is absurd. Let's return a success once
the warning is emitted instead.
This may be backported to 2.1 and 2.0.
It's only available for bind line. "ca-verify-file" allows to separate
CA certificates from "ca-file". CA names sent in server hello message is
only compute from "ca-file". Typically, "ca-file" must be defined with
intermediate certificates and "ca-verify-file" with certificates to
ending the chain, like root CA.
Fix issue #404.
Calling backtrace() will access libgcc at runtime. We don't want to do
it after the chroot, so let's perform a first call to have it ready in
memory for later use.
When a panic() occurs due to a stuck thread, we'll try to dump a
backtrace of this thread if the config directive USE_BACKTRACE is
set (which is the case on linux+glibc). For this we use the
backtrace() call provided by glibc and iterate the pointers through
resolve_sym_name(). In order to minimize the output (which is limited
to one buffer), we only do this for stuck threads, and we start the
dump above ha_panic()/ha_thread_dump_all_to_trash(), and stop when
meeting known points such as main/run_tasks_from_list/run_poll_loop.
If enabled without USE_DL, the dump will be complete with no details
except that pointers will all be given relative to main, which is
still better than nothing.
The new USE_BACKTRACE config option is enabled by default on glibc since
it has been present for ages. When it is set, the export-dynamic linker
option is enabled so that all non-static symbols are properly resolved.
Now in "show threads", the task/tasklet handler will be resolved
using this function, which will provide more detailed results and
will still support offsets to main for unresolved symbols.
We use various hacks at a few places to try to identify known function
pointers in debugging outputs (show threads & show fd). Let's centralize
this into a new function dedicated to this. It already knows about the
functions matched by "show threads" and "show fd", and when built with
USE_DL, it can rely on dladdr1() to resolve other functions. There are
some limitations, as static functions are not resolved, linking with
-rdynamic is mandatory, and even then some functions will not necessarily
appear. It's possible to do a better job by rebuilding the whole symbol
table from the ELF headers in memory but it's less portable and the gains
are still limited, so this solution remains a reasonable tradeoff.
This function dumps <n> bytes from <addr> in hex form into buffer <buf>
enclosed in brackets after the address itself, formatted on 14 chars
including the "0x" prefix. This is meant to be used as a prefix for code
areas. For example: "0x7f10b6557690 [48 c7 c0 0f 00 00 00 0f]: "
It relies on may_access() to know if the bytes are dumpable, otherwise "--"
is emitted. An optional prefix is supported.
Since commit 4c2ae48375 ("MINOR: trace: implement a very basic trace()
function") merged in 2.1, trace() is an inline function. It must not
appear in standard.c anymore and may break build depending on includes.
This can be backported to 2.1.
It happens that just sending the debug signal to the process makes on
thread wait for its turn while nobody wants to dump. We need to at
least verify that a dump was really requested for this thread.
This can be backported to 2.1 and 2.0.
Often in crash dumps we see unknown function pointers. Let's display
them relative to main, that helps quite a lot figure the function
from an executable, for example:
(gdb) x/a main+645360
0x4c56a0 <h1_timeout_task>: 0x2e6666666666feeb
This could be backported to 2.0.
In commit 4eee38a ("BUILD/MINOR: tools: fix build warning in the date
conversion functions") we added some return checks to shut build
warnings but the last test is useless since the tested pointer is not
updated by the last call to utoa_pad() used to convert the milliseconds.
It turns out the original code from 2012 already skipped this part,
probably in order to avoid the risk of seeing a millisecond field not
belonging to the 0-999 range. Better keep the check and put the code
into stricter shape.
No backport is needed. This fixes issue #526.
Commit 80b53ffb1c ("MEDIUM: arg: make make_arg_list() stop after its
own arguments") changed the way we detect the empty list because we
cannot stop by looking up the closing parenthesis anymore, thus for
the first missing arg we have to enter the parsing loop again. And
there, finding an empty arg means we go to the empty_err label, where
it was not initially planned to handle this condition. This results
in %[date()] to fail while %[date] works. Let's simply check if we've
reached the minimally supported args there (it used to be done during
the function entry).
Thanks to Jrme for reporting this issue. No backport is needed,
this is 2.2-dev2+ only.
Since commit "MEDIUM: connection: make the subscribe() call able to wakeup
if ready" we have the guarantee that the tasklet will be woken up if
subscribing to a connection for an even that's ready. Since we have too
many tasklet_wakeup() calls in mux-h1, let's now use this property to
improve the situation a bit.
With this change, no syscall count changed, however the number of useless
calls to some functions significantly went down. Here are the differences
for the test below (100k req), in number of calls per request :
$ ./h1load -n 100000 -t 4 -c 1000 -T 20 -F 127.0.0.1:8001/?s=1k/t=20
before after change note
tasklet_wakeup: 3 1 -66%
h1_io_cb: 4 3 -25%
h1_send: 6.7 5.4 -19%
h1_wake: 0.73 0.44 -39%
h1_process: 4.7 3.4 -27%
h1_wake_stream_for_send: 6.7 5.5 -18%
si_cs_process 3.7 3.4 -7.8%
conn_fd_handler 2.7 2.4 -10%
raw_sock_to_buf: 4 2 -50%
pool_free: 4 2 -50% from failed rx calls
Note that the situation could be further improved by having muxes lazily
subscribe to Rx events in case the FD is already being polled. However
this requires deeper changes to implement a LAZY_RECV subscribe mode,
and to replace the FD's active bit by 3 states representing the desired
action to perform on the FD during the update, among NONE (no need to
change), POLL (can't proceed without), and STOP (buffer full). This
would only impact Rx since on Tx we know what we have to send. The
savings to expect from this might be more visible with splicing and/or
when dealing with many connections having long think times.
The remaining epoll_ctl() calls are exclusively caused by the disagreement
between conn_fd_handler() and the mux receiving the data: the fd handler
wants to stop after having woken up the tasklet, then the mux after
receiving data wants to receive again. Given that they don't happen in
the same poll loop when there are many FDs, this causes a lot of state
changes.
As suggested by Olivier, if the task is already scheduled for running,
we don't need to disable the event because it's in the run queue, poll()
cannot stop, and reporting it again will be harmless. What *might*
happen however is that a sampling-based poller like epoll() would report
many times the same event and has trouble getting others behind. But if
it would happen, it would still indicate the run queue has plenty of
pending operations, so it would in fact only displace the problem from
the poller to the run queue, which doesn't seem to be worse (and in
fact we do support priorities while the poller does not).
By doing this change, the keep-alive test with 1k conns and 100k reqs
completely gets rid of the per-request epoll_ctl changes, while still
not causing extra recvfrom() :
$ ./h1load -n 100000 -t 4 -c 1000 -T 20 -F 127.0.0.1:8001/?s=1k/t=20
200000 sendto 1
200000 recvfrom 1
10762 epoll_wait 1
3664 epoll_ctl 1
1999 recvfrom -1
In close mode, it didn't change anything, we're still in the optimal
case (2 epoll per connection) :
$ ./h1load -n 100000 -r 1 -t 4 -c 1000 -T 20 -F 127.0.0.1:8001/?s=1k/t=20
203764 epoll_ctl 1
200000 sendto 1
200000 recvfrom 1
6091 epoll_wait 1
2994 recvfrom -1
There's currently an internal API limitation at the connection layer
regarding conn_subscribe(). We must not subscribe if we haven't yet
met EAGAIN or such a condition, so we sometimes force ourselves to read
in order to meet this condition and being allowed to call subscribe.
But reading cannot always be done (e.g. at the end of a loop where we
cannot afford to retrieve new data and start again) so we instead
perform a tasklet_wakeup() of the requester's io_cb. This is what is
done in mux_h1 for example. The problem with this is that it forces
a new receive when we're not necessarily certain we need one. And if
the FD is not ready and was already being polled, it's a useless
wakeup.
The current patch improves the connection-level subscribe() so that
it really manipulates the polling if the FD is marked not-ready, but
instead schedules the argument tasklet for a wakeup if the FD is
ready. This guarantees we'll wake this tasklet up in any case once the
FD is ready, either immediately or after polling.
By doing so, a test on pure close mode shows we cut in half the number
of epoll_ctl() calls and almost eliminate failed recvfrom():
$ ./h1load -n 100000 -r 1 -t 4 -c 1000 -T 20 -F 127.0.0.1:8001/?s=1k/t=20
before:
399464 epoll_ctl 1
200007 recvfrom 1
200000 sendto 1
100000 recvfrom -1
7508 epoll_wait 1
after:
205739 epoll_ctl 1
200000 sendto 1
200000 recvfrom 1
6084 epoll_wait 1
2651 recvfrom -1
On keep-alive there is no change however.
This partially reverts commit 1113116b4a ("MEDIUM: raw-sock: remove
obsolete calls to fd_{cant,cond,done}_{send,recv}") so that we can mark
the FD not ready as required since commit 19bc201c9f ("MEDIUM: connection:
remove the intermediary polling state from the connection"). Indeed, with
the removal of the latter we don't have any other reliable indication that
the FD is blocked, which explains why there are so many EAGAIN in traces.
It's worth noting that a short read or a short write are also reliable
indicators of exhausted buffers and are even documented as such in the
epoll man page in case of edge-triggered mode. That's why we also report
the FD as blocked in such a case.
With this change we completely got rid of EAGAIN in keep-alive tests, but
they were expectedly transferred to epoll_ctl:
$ ./h1load -n 100000 -t 4 -c 1000 -T 20 -F 127.0.0.1:8001/?s=1k/t=20
before:
266331 epoll_ctl 1
200000 sendto 1
200000 recvfrom 1
135757 recvfrom -1
8626 epoll_wait 1
after:
394865 epoll_ctl 1
200000 sendto 1
200000 recvfrom 1
10748 epoll_wait 1
1999 recvfrom -1
When a header is added or modified, in http_add_header() or
http_replace_header(), a comparison is performed on its name to know if it is
the Host header and if the authority part of the uri must be updated or
not. This comparision must be case-insensive.
This patch should fix the issue #522. It must be backported to 2.1.
ST_F_CHECK_DURATION is now part of exported server metrics, named
haproxy_server_check_duration_seconds and expressed in seconds. For a given
server, this value is exported only if the healthcheck is finished (the status
is greater or equal to HCHK_STATUS_CHECKED).
This patch fixes the issue #519. It may be backported as fat as 2.0.
As per issue #435 a hostname with a trailing dot confuses our DNS code,
as for a zero length DNS label we emit a null-byte. This change makes us
ignore the zero length label instead.
Must be backported to 1.8.
We always set them both, which makes sense since errors at the FD level
indicate a terminal condition for the socket that cannot be recovered.
Usually this is detected via a write error, but sometimes such an error
may asynchronously be reported on the read side. Let's simplify this
using only the write bit and calling it RW since it's used like this
everywhere, and leave the R bit spare for future use.
There's no point in trying to be too generic for these flags as the
read and write sides will soon differ a bit. Better explicitly define
the flags for each direction without trying to be direction-agnostic.
this clarifies the code and removes some defines.
This was used only by fd_recv_state() and fd_send_state(), both of
which are unused. This will not work anymore once recv and send flags
start to differ, so let's remove this.
commit c87e46881 ("MINOR: http-rules: Add a flag on redirect rules to know the
rule direction") introduced a new flag for redirect rules, but its value has
bits in common with REDIRECT_FLAG_DROP_QS, which makes us enter this code path
in http_apply_redirect_rule(), which will then drop the query string.
To fix this, just give REDIRECT_FLAG_FROM_REQ its own unique value.
This must be backported where c87e468816 is backported.
This should fix issue 521.
since we run "snapshot" images of FreeBSD, it is possible that kernel
ABI version might change from time to time. It might differ from
prebuilt packages (installed via "pkg"). We do not test kernel modules,
so for us is safe to ignore ABI mismatch.
Even when there isn't a chain, it must be initialized to a empty X509
structure with sk_X509_new_null().
This patch fixes a segfault which appears with older versions of the SSL
libs (openssl 0.9.8, libressl 2.8.3...) because X509_chain_up_ref() does
not check the pointer.
This bug was introduced by b90d2cb ("MINOR: ssl: resolve issuers chain
later").
Should fix issue #516.
Previously when the `unique-id-format` contained non-deterministic parts,
such as the `uuid` fetch each use of the `unique-id` fetch would generate
a new unique ID, replacing the old one. The following configuration shows
the error:
global
log stdout format short daemon
listen test
log global
log-format "%ID"
unique-id-format %{+X}o\ TEST-%[uuid]
mode http
bind *:8080
http-response set-header A %[unique-id]
http-response set-header B %[unique-id]
server example example.com:80
Without the patch the contents of the `A` and `B` response header would
differ.
This bug was introduced in commit f4011ddcf5,
which was first released with HAProxy 1.7-dev3.
This fix should be backported to HAProxy 1.7+.
valgrind complains that epoll_ctl() uses an epoll_event in which we
have only set the part we use from the data field (i.e. the fd). Tests
show that pre-initializing the struct in the stack doesn't have a
measurable impact so let's do it.
In issue #471 it was reported that valgrind sometimes complains about
timer_create() being called with uninitialized bytes. These are in fact
the bits from sigev_value.sival_ptr that are not part of sival_int that
are tagged as such, as valgrind has no way to know we're using the int
instead of the ptr in the union. It's cheap to initialize the field so
let's do it.
Since commit 92919f7fd5 ("MEDIUM: h2: make the request parser rebuild
a complete URI") we make sure to rebuild a complete URI. Unfortunately
the test for an empty :path pseudo-header that is mandated by #8.1.2.3
appened to be performed on the URI before this patch, which is never
empty anymore after being rebuilt, causing h2spec to complain :
8. HTTP Message Exchanges
8.1. HTTP Request/Response Exchange
8.1.2. HTTP Header Fields
8.1.2.3. Request Pseudo-Header Fields
- 1: Sends a HEADERS frame with empty ":path" pseudo-header field
-> The endpoint MUST respond with a stream error of type PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Expected: GOAWAY Frame (Error Code: PROTOCOL_ERROR)
RST_STREAM Frame (Error Code: PROTOCOL_ERROR)
Connection closed
Actual: DATA Frame (length:0, flags:0x01, stream_id:1)
It's worth noting that this error doesn't trigger when calling h2spec
with a timeout as some scripts do, which explains why it wasn't detected
after the patch above.
This fixes one half of issue #471 and should be backported to 2.1.
The goal is to use the ckch to store data from PEM files or <payload> and
only for that. This patch adresses the ckch->ocsp_issuer case. It finds
issuers chain if no chain is present in the ckch in ssl_sock_put_ckch_into_ctx(),
filling the ocsp_issuer from the chain must be done after.
It changes the way '.issuer' is managed: it tries to load '.issuer' in
ckch->ocsp_issuer first and then look for the issuer in the chain later
(in ssl_sock_load_ocsp() ). "ssl-load-extra-files" without the "issuer"
parameter can negate extra '.issuer' file check.
