mysqld >= 5.5 want the client to announce 4.1+ authentication support, even if we have no password, so we do this.
I also check on a debian potato mysqld 3.22 and it works too so i assume we are good from 3.22 to 5.5.
[WT: this must be backported to 1.4]
The fullconn value is not easy to get right when doing dynamic regulation,
as it should depend on the maxconns of the frontends that can reach a
backend. Since the parameter is mandatory, many configs are found with
an inappropriate default value.
Instead of rejecting configs without a fullconn value, we now set it to
10% of the sum of the configured maxconns of all the frontends which are
susceptible to branch to the backend. That way if new frontends are added,
the backend's fullconn automatically adjusts itself.
Bashkim Kasa reported that the stats admin page did not work when colons
were used in server or backend names. This was caused by url-encoding
resulting in ':' being sent as '%3A'. Now we systematically decode the
field names and values to fix this issue.
Since version 1.0.0, it's forbidden to have a cookie specified without at
least one server. This test is useless and makes it complex to write APIs
to iteratively generate working configurations. Remove the test.
It's more expensive to call splice() on short payloads than to use
recv()+send(). One of the reasons is that doing a splice() involves
allocating a pipe. One other reason is that the kernel will have to
copy itself if we try to splice less than a page. So let's fix a
short offset of 4kB below which we don't splice.
A quick test shows that on chunked encoded data, with splice we had
6826 syscalls (1715 splice, 3461 recv, 1650 send) while with this
patch, the same transfer resulted in 5793 syscalls (3896 recv, 1897
send).
Fast-forwarding between file descriptors is nice but can be counter-productive
when only one part of the buffer is forwarded, because it can result in doubling
the number of send() syscalls. This is what happens on HTTP chunking, because
the chunk data are sent, then the CRLF + next chunk size are parsed and immediately
scheduled for forwarding. This results in two send() for the same block while a
single one would have done it.
Now that we support the http-no-delay mode, we can optimize HTTP
chunking again by always waiting for more data to come until the
last chunk is met.
This patch may or may not be backported to 1.4, it's not a big deal,
it will mainly help for chunks which are aligned with the buffer size.
There are some very rare server-to-server applications that abuse the HTTP
protocol and expect the payload phase to be highly interactive, with many
interleaved data chunks in both directions within a single request. This is
absolutely not supported by the HTTP specification and will not work across
most proxies or servers. When such applications attempt to do this through
haproxy, it works but they will experience high delays due to the network
optimizations which favor performance by instructing the system to wait for
enough data to be available in order to only send full packets. Typical
delays are around 200 ms per round trip. Note that this only happens with
abnormal uses. Normal uses such as CONNECT requests nor WebSockets are not
affected.
When "option http-no-delay" is present in either the frontend or the backend
used by a connection, all such optimizations will be disabled in order to
make the exchanges as fast as possible. Of course this offers no guarantee on
the functionality, as it may break at any other place. But if it works via
HAProxy, it will work as fast as possible. This option should never be used
by default, and should never be used at all unless such a buggy application
is discovered. The impact of using this option is an increase of bandwidth
usage and CPU usage, which may significantly lower performance in high
latency environments.
This change should be backported to 1.4 since the first report of such a
misuse was in 1.4. Next patch will also be needed.
The FL_TCP flag was a leftover from the old days we were using TCP_CORK.
With MSG_MORE it's not needed anymore so we can remove the condition and
sensibly simplify the test.
When sending is complete, it's preferred to systematically clear the flags
that were set for that transfer. What could happen is that the to_forward
counter had caused the MSG_MORE flag to be set and BF_EXPECT_MORE not to
be cleared, resulting in this flag being unexpectedly maintained for next
round.
The code has taken extreme care of not doing this till now, but it's not
acceptable that the caller has to know these precise semantics. So let's
unconditionnally clear the flag instead.
For the sake of safety, this fix should be backported to 1.4.
Commit 57f5c1 used to provide a nice improvement on chunked encoding since
it ensured that we did not set a PUSH flag for every chunk or buffer data
part of a chunked transfer.
Some applications appear to erroneously abuse HTTP chunking in order to
get interactive exchanges between a user agent and an origin server with
very small chunks. While it happens to work through haproxy, it's terribly
slow due to the latency added after passing each chunk to the system, who
could wait up to 200ms before pushing them onto the wire.
So we need an interactive mode for such usages. In the mean time, step back
on the optim, but not completely, so that we still keep the flag as long as
we know we're not finished with the current chunk.
This change should be backported to 1.4 too as the issue was discovered
with it.
This status code is used in response to requests matching "monitor-uri".
Some users need to adjust it to fit their needs (eg: make some strings
appear there). As it's already defined as a chunked string and used
exactly like other status codes, it makes sense to make it configurable
with the usual "errorfile", "errorloc", ...
Some people like to make the monitoring URL testable from unsafe locations.
Reporting haproxy's existence there can sometimes be problematic. This patch
should not be backported to 1.4 because it is possible, eventhough unlikely,
that some scripts rely on this word to appear there.
As reported by Lauri-Alo Adamson, version 1.5-dev6 doesn't support
stick-tables with a binary type.
This issue was introduced in the commit 4f92d32 where a line was erroneously
deleted, and is 1.5-specific.
Mark Brooks reported that commit 1b4b7c broke tproxy in 1.5-dev6. Nick
Chalk tracked the issue down to a missing address family setting in
tcp_bind_socket() which resulted in a failure to use get_addr_len().
This issue is 1.5-specific.
Christopher Blencowe reported that the httpchk_expect() function was
lacking a test for incomplete responses : if the server sends only the
headers in the first packet and the body in a subsequent one, there is
a risk that the check fails without waiting for more data. A failure
rate of about 1% was reported.
This fix must be backported to 1.4.
Released version 1.5-dev6 with the following main changes :
- [BUG] stream_sock: use get_addr_len() instead of sizeof() on sockaddr_storage
- [BUG] TCP source tracking was broken with IPv6 changes
- [BUG] stick-tables did not work when converting IPv6 to IPv4
- [CRITICAL] fix risk of crash when dealing with space in response cookies
When doing fix 24581bae02 to correctly handle
response cookies, an unfortunate typo was inserted in the less likely code
path, resulting in a risk of crash when cookie-based persistence is enabled
and the server emits a cookie with several spaces around the equal sign.
This bug was noticed during a code backport. Its effects were never reported
because this situation is very unlikely to appear, but it can be provoked on
purpose by the server.
This patch must be backported to 1.4 versions which contain the fix above
(anything > 1.4.8), and to similar 1.3 versions > 1.3.25. 1.5-dev versions
after 1.5-dev2 are affected too.
John Helliwell reported a runtime issue on Solaris since 1.5-dev5. Traces
show that connect() returns EINVAL, which means the socket length is not
appropriate for the family. Solaris does not like being called with sizeof
and needs the address family's size on sockaddr_storage.
The fix consists in adding a get_addr_len() function which returns the
socket's address length based on its family. Tests show that this works
for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

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.
Patch 5ab04ec47c was incomplete,
because if the first send() fails on an empty buffer, we fail
to rearm the polling and we can't establish the connection
anymore.
The issue was reported by Ben Timby who provided large amounts
of traces of various tests helping to reliably reproduce the issue.
Since the latest additions to buffer_forward(), it became too large for
inlining, so let's uninline it. The code size drops by 3kB. Should be
backported to 1.4 too.
Despite much care around handling the content-length as a 64-bit integer,
forwarding was broken on 32-bit platforms due to the 32-bit nature of
the ->to_forward member of the "buffer" struct. The issue is that this
member is declared as a long, so while it works OK on 64-bit platforms,
32-bit truncate the content-length to the lower 32-bits.
One solution could consist in turning to_forward to a long long, but it
is used a lot in the critical path, so it's not acceptable to perform
all buffer size computations on 64-bit there.
The fix consists in changing the to_forward member to a strict 32-bit
integer and ensure in buffer_forward() that only the amount of bytes
that can fit into it is considered. Callers of buffer_forward() are
responsible for checking that their data were taken into account. We
arbitrarily ensure we never consider more than 2G at once.
That's the way it was intended to work on 32-bit platforms except that
it did not.
This issue was tracked down hard at Exosec with Bertrand Jacquin,
Thierry Fournier and Julien Thomas. It remained undetected for a long
time because files larger than 4G are almost always transferred in
chunked-encoded format, and most platforms dealing with huge contents
these days run on 64-bit.
The bug affects all 1.5 and 1.4 versions, and must be backported.
Since we now have the copy of the target in the session, use it instead
of relying on the SI for it. The SI drops the target upon unregister()
so applets such as stats were logged as "NOSRV".
Johannes Smith reported some wrong retries count in logs associated with bad
requests. The cause was that the conn_retries field in the stream interface
was only initialized when attempting to connect, but is used when logging,
possibly with an uninitialized value holding last connection's conn_retries.
This could have been avoided by making use of a stream interface initializer.
This bug is 1.5-specific.
