Keys are copied from samples to stick_table_key. If a key is larger
than the stick_table_key, we have an overflow. In pratice it does not
happen because it requires :
1) a configuration with tune.bufsize larger than BUFSIZE (common)
2) a stick-table configured with keys strictly larger than buffers
3) extraction of data larger than BUFSIZE (eg: using payload())
Points 2 and 3 don't make any sense for a real world configuration. That
said the issue needs be fixed. The solution consists in allocating it the
same size as the global buffer size, just like the samples. This fixes the
issue.
Make it more obvious that this function does not depend on any knowledge
of the session. This is important to plan for TCP rules that can run on
connection without any initialized session yet.
The last uses of the stream interfaces were in tcp_connect_server() and
could easily and more appropriately be moved to its callers, si_connect()
and connect_server(), making a lot more sense.
Now the function should theorically be usable for health checks.
It also appears more obvious that the file is split into two distinct
parts :
- the protocol layer used at the connection level
- the tcp analysers executing tcp-* rules and their samples/acls.
We need to have the source and destination addresses in the connection.
They were lying in the stream interface so let's move them. The flags
SI_FL_FROM_SET and SI_FL_TO_SET have been moved as well.
It's worth noting that tcp_connect_server() almost does not use the
stream interface anymore except for a few flags.
It has been identified that once we detach the connection from the SI,
it will probably be needed to keep a copy of the server-side addresses
in the SI just for logging purposes. This has not been implemented right
now though.
This is a massive rename. We'll then split channel and buffer.
This change needs a lot of cleanups. At many locations, the parameter
or variable is still called "buf" which will become ambiguous. Also,
the "struct channel" is still defined in buffers.h.
The sock_ops I/O callbacks made use of an FD till now. This has become
inappropriate and the struct connection is much more useful. It also
fixes the race condition introduced by previous change.
Use a single tcp_connect_probe() instead of tcp_connect_write() and
tcp_connect_read(). We call this one only when no data layer function
have been processed, so this is a fallback to test for completion of
a connection attempt.
With this done, we don't have the need for any direct I/O callback
anymore.
The function still relies on ->write() to wake the stream interface up,
so it's not finished.
Source addresses of non-TCP families were not correctly handled by
tcp_src_to_stktable_key() as it forgot to return NULL and instead left
the previous value in the stick-table buffer.
This bug is 1.5-specific and was introduced by commit 4f92d320 in 1.5-dev6
so it does not need any backport.
Commit e164e7a removed get_src/get_dst setting in the stream interfaces but
forgot to set it in proto_tcp. Get the feature back because we need it for
logging, transparent mode, ACLs etc... We now rely on the stream interface
direction to know what syscall to use.
One benefit of doing it this way is that we don't use getsockopt() anymore
on outgoing stream interfaces nor on UNIX sockets.
Patterns were using a bitmask to indicate if request or response was desired
in fetch functions and keywords. ACLs were using a bitmask in fetch keywords
and a single bit in fetch functions. ACLs were also using an ACL_PARTIAL bit
in fetch functions indicating that a non-final fetch was performed, which was
an abuse of the existing direction flag.
The change now consists in using :
- a capabilities field for fetch keywords => SMP_CAP_REQ/RES to indicate
if a keyword supports requests, responses, both, etc...
- an option field for fetch functions to indicate what the caller expects
(request/response, final/non-final)
The ACL_PARTIAL bit was reversed to get SMP_OPT_FINAL as it's more explicit
to know we're working on a final buffer than on a non-final one.
ACL_DIR_* were removed, as well as PATTERN_FETCH_*. L4 fetches were improved
to support being called on responses too since they're still available.
The <dir> field of all fetch functions was changed to <opt> which is now
unsigned.
The patch is large but mostly made of cosmetic changes to accomodate this, as
almost no logic change happened.
Previously, both pattern, backend and persist_rdp_cookie would build fake
ACL expressions to fetch an RDP cookie by calling acl_fetch_rdp_cookie().
Now we switch roles. The RDP cookie fetch function is provided as a sample
fetch function that all others rely on, including ACL. The code is exactly
the same, only the args handling moved from expr->args to args. The code
was moved to proto_tcp.c, but probably that a dedicated file would be more
suited to content handling.
Stream interfaces used to distinguish between client and server addresses
because they were previously of different types (sockaddr_storage for the
client, sockaddr_in for the server). This is not the case anymore, and this
distinction is confusing at best and has caused a number of regressions to
be introduced in the process of converting everything to full-ipv6. We can
now remove this and have a much cleaner code.
Since IPv6 is a different type than IPv4, the pattern fetch functions
src6 and dst6 were added. IPv6 stick-tables can also fetch IPv4 addresses
with src and dst. In this case, the IPv4 addresses are mapped to their
IPv6 counterpart, according to RFC 4291.
This patch turns internal server addresses to sockaddr_storage to
store IPv6 addresses, and makes the connect() function use it. This
code already works but some caveats with getaddrinfo/gethostbyname
still need to be sorted out while the changes had to be merged at
this stage of internal architecture changes. So for now the config
parser will not emit an IPv6 address yet so that user experience
remains unchanged.
This change should have absolutely zero user-visible effect, otherwise
it's a bug introduced during the merge, that should be reported ASAP.
When doing a connect() on a stream interface, some information is needed
from the server and from the backend. In some situations, we don't have
a server and only a backend (eg: peers). In other cases, we know we have
an applet and we don't want to connect to anything, but we'd still like
to have the info about the applet being used.
For this, we now store a pointer to the "target" into the stream interface.
The target describes what's on the other side before trying to connect. It
can be a server, a proxy or an applet for now. Later we'll probably have
descriptors for multiple-stage chains so that the final information may
still be found.
This will help removing many specific cases in the code. It already made
it possible to remove the "srv" and "be" parameters to tcpv4_connect_server().
This patch adds the ability to set a pointer in the session to an
entry in a stick table which holds various counters related to a
specific pattern.
Right now the syntax matches the target syntax and only the "src"
pattern can be specified, to track counters related to the session's
IPv4 source address. There is a special function to extract it and
convert it to a key. But the goal is to be able to later support as
many patterns as for the stick rules, and get rid of the specific
function.
The "track-counters" directive may only be set in a "tcp-request"
statement right now. Only the first one applies. Probably that later
we'll support multi-criteria tracking for a single session and that
we'll have to name tracking pointers.
No counter is updated right now, only the refcount is. Some subsequent
patches will have to bring that feature.
The new LI_O_TCP_RULES listener option indicates that some TCP rules
must be checked upon accept on this listener. It is now checked by
the frontend and the L4 rules are evaluated only in this case. The
flag is only set when at least one tcp-req rule is present in the
frontend.
The L4 rules check function has now been moved to proto_tcp.c where
it ought to be.
For a long time we had two large accept() functions, one for TCP
sockets instanciating proxies, and another one for UNIX sockets
instanciating the stats interface.
A lot of code was duplicated and both did not work exactly the same way.
Now we have a stream_sock layer accept() called for either TCP or UNIX
sockets, and this function calls the frontend-specific accept() function
which does the rest of the frontend-specific initialisation.
Some code is still duplicated (session & task allocation, stream interface
initialization), and might benefit from having an intermediate session-level
accept() callback to perform such initializations. Still there are some
minor differences that need to be addressed first. For instance, the monitor
nets should only be checked for proxies and not for other connection templates.
Last, we renamed l->private as l->frontend. The "private" pointer in
the listener is only used to store a frontend, so let's rename it to
eliminate this ambiguity. When we later support detached listeners
(eg: FTP), we'll add another field to avoid the confusion.
Some functions which act on generic buffer contents without being
tcp-specific were historically in proto_tcp.c. This concerns ACLs
and RDP cookies. Those have been moved away to more appropriate
locations. Ideally we should create some new files for each layer6
protocol parser. Let's do that later.
The transparent proxy address selection was set in the TCP connect function
which is not the most appropriate place since this function has limited
access to the amount of parameters which could produce a source address.
Instead, now we determine the source address in backend.c:connect_server(),
right after calling assign_server_address() and we assign this address in
the session and pass it to the TCP connect function. This cannot be performed
in assign_server_address() itself because in some cases (transparent mode,
dispatch mode or http_proxy mode), we assign the address somewhere else.
This change will open the ability to bind to addresses extracted from many
other criteria (eg: from a header).
The connection establishment was completely handled by backend.c which
normally just handles LB algos. Since it's purely TCP, it must move to
proto_tcp.c. Also, instead of calling it directly, we now call it via
the stream interface, which will later help us unify session handling.
The new statement "persist rdp-cookie" enables RDP cookie
persistence. The RDP cookie is then extracted from the RDP
protocol, and compared against available servers. If a server
matches the RDP cookie, then it gets the connection.
The RDP protocol is quite simple and documented, which permits
an easy detection and extraction of cookies. It can be useful
to match the MSTS cookie which can contain the username specified
by the client.
Some stream analysers might become generic enough to be called
for several bits. So we cannot have the analyser bit hard coded
into the analyser itself. Let's make the caller inform the callee.
The TCP analyser has moved to proto_tcp.c. Breaking the function
has required finer use of the return value and adding some tests
to process_session().
Some people need to inspect contents of TCP requests before
deciding to forward a connection or not. A future extension
of this demand might consist in selecting a server farm
depending on the protocol detected in the request.
For this reason, a new state CL_STINSPECT has been added on
the client side. It is immediately entered upon accept() if
the statement "tcp-request inspect-delay <xxx>" is found in
the frontend configuration. Haproxy will then wait up to
this amount of time trying to find a matching ACL, and will
either accept or reject the connection depending on the
"tcp-request content <action> {if|unless}" rules, where
<action> is either "accept" or "reject".
Note that it only waits that long if no definitive verdict
can be found earlier. That generally implies calling a fetch()
function which does not have enough information to decode
some contents, or a match() function which only finds the
beginning of what it's looking for.
It is only at the ACL level that partial data may be processed
as such, because we need to distinguish between MISS and FAIL
*before* applying the term negation.
Thus it is enough to add "| ACL_PARTIAL" to the last argument
when calling acl_exec_cond() to indicate that we expect
ACL_PAT_MISS to be returned if some data is missing (for
fetch() or match()). This is the only case we may return
this value. For this reason, the ACL check in process_cli()
has become a lot simpler.
A new ACL "req_len" of type "int" has been added. Right now
it is already possible to drop requests which talk too early
(eg: for SMTP) or which don't talk at all (eg: HTTP/SSL).
Also, the acl fetch() functions have been extended in order
to permit reporting of missing data in case of fetch failure,
using the ACL_TEST_F_MAY_CHANGE flag.
The default behaviour is unchanged, and if no rule matches,
the request is accepted.
As a side effect, all layer 7 fetching functions have been
cleaned up so that they now check for the validity of the
layer 7 pointer before dereferencing it.
The source address selection for health checks did not consider
the new transparent proxy method. Rely on the same unified function
as the other connect() calls.
This patch also fixes a bug by which the proxy's source address was
ignored if cttproxy was used.
Proxy listeners were very special and not very easy to manipulate.
A proto_tcp file has been created with all that is required to
manage TCPv4/TCPv6 as raw protocols, and provide generic listeners.
The code of start_proxies() and maintain_proxies() now looks less
like spaghetti. Also, event_accept will need a serious lifting in
order to use more of the information provided by the listener.
