Running the Linux kernel's checkpatch.pl is actually quite efficient
at spotting style issues and even sometimes bugs. The doc now suggests
how to use it to avoid the warnings that are specific to Linux's stricter
rules.
It properly reports errors like the following ones that were found on
real submissions so it should improve the situation for everyone :

Pradeep Jindal reported and troubleshooted a bug causing haproxy to die
during startup on all processes not making use of a peers section. It
only happens with nbproc > 1 when peers are declared. Technically it's
when the peers task is stopped on processes that don't use it that the
crash occurred (a task_free() called on a NULL task pointer).
This only affects peers v2 in the dev branch, no backport is needed.
Trie device detection doesn't benefit from caching compared to Pattern.
As such the LRU cache has been removed from the Trie method.
A new fetch method has been added named 51d.all which uses all the
available HTTP headers for device device detection. The previous 51d
conv method has been changed to 51d.single where one HTTP header,
typically User-Agent, is used for detection. This method is marginally
faster but less accurate.
Three new properties are available with the Pattern method called
Method, Difference and Rank which provide insight into the validity of
the results returned.
A pool of worksets is used to avoid needing to create a new workset for
every request. The workset pool is thread safe ready to support a future
multi threaded version of HAProxy.
Added support for city hash method, turned off multi threading support
and included maths library. Removed reference to compression library
which was never needed.
Changed examples to demonstrate the the new fetch and conv methods
available with the enhancements made in version 3.2 of 51Degrees.
Added reference to the accuracy indicators available with Pattern
detection method.
Added support for version 3.2 of 51Degrees C library.
Added fields to store HTTP header names important to device detection
other than User-Agent.
Included a pool of worksets for use with Pattern device detection.
Added the definition of CHECK_HTTP_MESSAGE_FIRST and the declaration of
smp_prefetch_http to the header.
Changed smp_prefetch_http implementation to remove the static qualifier.
This file was recovered from the first project where it was born 12 years
ago, but it's still convenient to understand how our circular lists work,
so let's add it.
This patch uses the start up of the health check task to also start
the warmup task when required.
This is executed only once: when HAProxy has just started up and can
be started only if the load-server-state-from-file feature is enabled
and the server was in the warmup state before a reload occurs.
This directive gives HAProxy the ability to use the either the global
server-state-file directive or a local one using server-state-file-name to
load server states.
The state can be saved right before the reload by the init script, using
the "show servers state" command on the stats socket redirecting output into
a file.
Documentation related to a new global directive.
Purpose of this directive is to store a file path into the global
structure of HAProxy. The file pointed by the path may be used by
HAProxy to retrieve server state from the previous running process
after a reload occured.
This new global section directive is used to store the path to the file
where HAProxy will be able to retrieve server states across reloads.
The file pointed by this path is used to store a file which can contains
state of all servers from all backends.
This new global directive can be used to provide a base directory where
all the server state files could be loaded.
If a server state file name starts with a slash '/', then this directive
must not be applied.
new command 'show servers state' which dumps all variable parameters
of a server during an HAProxy process life.
Purpose is to dump current server state at current run time in order to
read them right after the reload.
The format of the output is versionned and we support version 1 for now.
Introduces a few new macros used by server state save and application accros reloads:
- currently used state server file format version
- currently used state server file header fields
- MIN and MAX value for version number
- maximum number of fields that could be found in a server-state file
- an arbitrary state-file max line length
When a server is disabled in the configuration using the "disabled"
keyword, a single flag is positionned: SRV_ADMF_CMAINT (use to be
SRV_ADMF_FMAINT)..
That said, when providing the first version of this code, we also
changed the SRV_ADMF_MAINT mask to match any of the possible MAINT
cases: SRV_ADMF_FMAINT, SRV_ADMF_IMAINT, SRV_ADMF_CMAINT
Since SRV_ADMF_CMAINT is never (and is not supposed to be) altered at
run time, once a server has this flag set up, it can never ever be
enabled again using the stats socket.
In order to fix this, we should:
- consider SRV_ADMF_CMAINT as a simple flag to report the state in the
old configuration file (will be used after a reload to deduce the
state of the server in a new running process)
- enabling both SRV_ADMF_CMAINT and SRV_ADMF_FMAINT when the keyword
"disabled" is in use in the configuration
- update the mask SRV_ADMF_MAINT as it was before, to only match
SRV_ADMF_FMAINT and SRV_ADMF_IMAINT.
The following patch perform the changes above.
It allows fixing the regression without breaking the way the up coming
feature (seamless server state accross reloads) is going to work.
Note: this is 1.6-only, no backport needed.
This couple of function executes securely some Lua calls outside of
the lua runtime environment. Each Lua call can return a longjmp
if it encounter a memory error.
Lua documentation extract:
If an error happens outside any protected environment, Lua calls
a panic function (see lua_atpanic) and then calls abort, thus
exiting the host application. Your panic function can avoid this
exit by never returning (e.g., doing a long jump to your own
recovery point outside Lua).
The panic function runs as if it were a message handler (see
2.3); in particular, the error message is at the top of the
stack. However, there is no guarantee about stack space. To push
anything on the stack, the panic function must first check the
available space (see 4.2).
We must check all the Lua entry point. This includes:
- The include/proto/hlua.h exported functions
- the task wrapper function
- The action wrapper function
- The converters wrapper function
- The sample-fetch wrapper functions
It is tolerated that the initilisation function returns an abort.
Before each Lua abort, an error message is writed on stderr.
The macro SET_SAFE_LJMP initialise the longjmp. The Macro
RESET_SAFE_LJMP reset the longjmp. These function must be macro
because they must be exists in the program stack when the longjmp
is called

Send log with syslog system, and if it is allowed, display error
log on screen.
This patch replace this pattern by a macro. This reduces the number
of lines.
Regex header file is missing in types/action.h
Repported by Conrad Hoffmann
I cannot build the current dev's master HEAD (ec3c37d) because of this error:
> In file included from include/proto/proto_http.h:26:0,
> from src/stick_table.c:26:
> include/types/action.h:102:20: error: field ‘re’ has incomplete type
> struct my_regex re; /* used by replace-header and replace-value */
> ^
> Makefile:771: recipe for target 'src/stick_table.o' failed
> make: *** [src/stick_table.o] Error 1
The struct act_rule defined in action.h includes a full struct my_regex
without #include-ing regex.h. Both gcc 5.2.0 and clang 3.6.2 do not allow this.
More information regarding DNS resolution:
- behavior in case of errors
- behavior when multiple name servers are configured in a resolvers
section
- when a retry is performed
- when a query type change is performed
- make it clear that DNS resolution requires health checking enabled
on the server
There are two types of retries when performing a DNS resolution:
1. retry because of a timeout
2. retry of the full sequence of requests (query types failover)
Before this patch, the 'resolution->try' counter was incremented
after each send of a DNS request, which does not cover the 2 cases
above.
This patch fix this behavior.
Some DNS response may be valid from a protocol point of view but may not
contain any IP addresses.
This patch gives a new flag to the function dns_get_ip_from_response to
report such case.
It's up to the upper layer to decide what to do with this information.
Some DNS responses may be valid from a protocol point of view, but may
not contain any information considered as interested by the requester..
Purpose of the flag DNS_RESP_NO_EXPECTED_RECORD introduced by this patch is
to allow reporting such situation.
When this happens, a new DNS query is sent with a new query type.
For now, the function only expect A and AAAA query types which is enough
to cover current cases.
In a next future, it will be up to the caller to tell the function which
query types are expected.
The send_log function needs a final \n.
This bug is repported by Michael Ezzell.
Minor bug: when writing to syslog from Lua scripts, the last character from
each log entry is truncated.
core.Alert("this is truncated");
Sep 7 15:07:56 localhost haproxy[7055]: this is truncate
This issue appears to be related to the fact that send_log() (in src/log.c)
is expecting a newline at the end of the message's format string:
/*
* This function adds a header to the message and sends the syslog message
* using a printf format string. It expects an LF-terminated message.
*/
void send_log(struct proxy *p, int level, const char *format, ...)
I believe the fix would be in in src/hlua.c at line 760
<http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy.git;a=blob;f=src/hlua.c;h=1e4d47c31e66c16c837ff2aa5ef577f6cafdc7e7;hb=316e3196285b89a917c7d84794ced59a6a5b4eba#l760>,
where this...
send_log(px, level, "%s", trash.str);
...should be adding a newline into the format string to accommodate what
the code expects.
send_log(px, level, "%s\n", trash.str);
This change provides what seems to be the correct behavior:
Sep 7 15:08:30 localhost haproxy[7150]: this is truncated
All other uses of send_log() in hlua.c have a trailing dot "." in the
message that is masking the truncation issue because the output message
stops on a clean word boundary. I suspect these would also benefit from
"\n" appended to their format strings as well, since this appears to be the
pattern seen throughout the rest of the code base.
Reported-by: Michael Ezzell <michael@ezzell.net>
The server's host name picked for resolution was incorrect, it did not
skip the address family specifier, did not resolve environment variables,
and messed up with the optional trailing colon.
Instead, let's get the fqdn returned by str2sa_range() and use that
exclusively.
If an environment variable is used in an address, and is not set, it's
silently considered as ":" or "0.0.0.0:0" which is not correct as it
can hide environment issues and lead to unexpected behaviours. Let's
report this case when it happens.
This fix should be backported to 1.5.
The function does a bunch of things among which resolving environment
variables, skipping address family specifiers and trimming port ranges.
It is the only one which sees the complete host name before trying to
resolve it. The DNS resolving code needs to know the original hostname,
so we modify this function to optionally provide it to the caller.
Note that the function itself doesn't know if the host part was a host
or an address, but str2ip() knows that and can be asked not to try to
resolve. So we first try to parse the address without resolving and
try again with resolving enabled. This way we know if the address is
explicit or needs some kind of resolution.
In the first version of the DNS resolver, HAProxy sends an ANY query
type and in case of issue fails over to the type pointed by the
directive in 'resolve-prefer'.
This patch allows the following new failover management:
1. default query type is still ANY
2. if response is truncated or in error because ANY is not supported by
the server, then a fail over to a new query type is performed. The
new query type is the one pointed by the directive 'resolve-prefer'.
3. if no response or still some errors occurs, then a query type fail over
is performed to the remaining IP address family.
First dns client implementation simply ignored most of DNS response
flags.
This patch changes the way the flags are parsed, using bit masks and
also take care of truncated responses.
Such response are reported to the above layer which can handle it
properly.
This patch introduces a new internal response state about the analysis
of a DNS response received by a server.
It is dedicated to report to above layer that the response is
'truncated'.
This patch updates the dns_nameserver structure to integrate a counter
dedicated to 'truncated' response sent by servers.
Such response are important to track, since HAProxy is supposed to
replay its request.
Current DNS client code implementation doesn't take care of response
flags setup by the server.
This patch introduces a couple of bitmasks one can use to retrieve the
truncated flag and the reply code available in the 2-bytes flag field.
Under certain circonstance (a configuration with many servers relying on
DNS resolution and one of them triggering the replay of a request
because of a timeout or invalid response to an ANY query), HAProxy could
end up in an infinite loop over the currently supposed running DNS
queries.
This was caused because the FIFO list of running queries was improperly
updated in snr_resolution_error_cb. The head of the list was removed
instead of the resolution in error, when moving the resolution to the
end of the list.
In the mean time, a LIST_DEL statement is removed since useless. This
action is already performed by the dns_reset_resolution function.
Patch f046f11561 introduced a regression:
DNS resolution doesn't start anymore, while it was supposed to make it
start with first health check.
Current patch fix this issue by triggering a new DNS resolution if the
last_resolution time is not set.
