Now that we can quote unsafe string, it becomes possible to dump the health
check responses on the CSV page as well. The two new fields are "last_chk"
and "last_agt".
Indicate that the text cells in the CSV format may contain quotes to
escape ambiguous texts. We don't have this case right now since we limit
the output, but it may happen in the future.
qstr() and cstr() will be used to quote-encode strings. The first one
does it unconditionally. The second one is aimed at CSV files where the
quote-encoding is only needed when the field contains a quote or a comma.
This helper is similar to addr_to_str but
tries to convert the port rather than the address
of a struct sockaddr_storage.
This is in preparation for supporting
an external agent check.

The "accept-proxy" statement of bind lines was still limited to version
1 of the protocol, while send-proxy-v2 is now available on the server
lines. This patch adds support for parsing v2 of the protocol on incoming
connections. The v2 header is automatically recognized so there is no
need for a new option.
This is in order to simplify the PPv2 header parsing code to look more
like the one provided as an example in the spec. No code change was
performed beyond just merging the proxy_addr union into the proxy_hdr_v2
struct.
If haproxy receives a connection over a unix socket and forwards it to
another haproxy instance using proxy protocol v1, it sends an UNKNOWN
protocol, which is rejected by the other side. Make the receiver accept
the UNKNOWN protocol as per the spec, and only use the local connection's
address for this.
As discussed with Dmitry Sivachenko, is a server farm has more than one
active server, uses a guaranteed non-determinist algorithm (round robin),
and a connection was initiated from a non-persistent connection, there's
no point insisting to reconnect to the same server after a connect failure,
better redispatch upon the very first retry instead of insisting on the same
server multiple times.
The retry delay is only useful when sticking to a same server. During
a redispatch, it's useless and counter-productive if we're sure to
switch to another server, which is almost guaranteed when there's
more than one server and the balancing algorithm is round robin, so
better not pass via the turn-around state in this case. It could be
done as well for leastconn, but there's a risk of always killing the
delay after the recovery of a server in a farm where it's almost
guaranteed to take most incoming traffic. So better only kill the
delay when using round robin.
As discussed with Dmitry Sivachenko, the default 1-second connect retry
delay can be large for situations where the connect timeout is much smaller,
because it means that an active connection reject will take more time to be
retried than a silent drop, and that does not make sense.
This patch changes this so that the retry delay is the minimum of 1 second
and the connect timeout. That way people running with sub-second connect
timeout will benefit from the shorter reconnect.
This new directive captures the specified fetch expression, converts
it to text and puts it into the next capture slot. The capture slots
are shared with header captures so that it is possible to dump all
captures at once or selectively in logs and header processing.
The purpose is to permit logs to contain whatever payload is found in
a request, for example bytes at a fixed location or the SNI of forwarded
SSL traffic.
This patch adds support for captures with no header name. The purpose
is to allow extra captures to be defined and logged along with the
header captures.
Currently, all callers to sample_fetch_string() call it with SMP_OPT_FINAL.
Now we improve it to support the case where this option is not set, and to
make it return the original sample as-is. The purpose is to let the caller
check the SMP_F_MAY_CHANGE flag in the result and know that it should wait
to get complete contents. Currently this has no effect on existing code.
Similar to previous patches, HTTP header captures are performed when
a TCP frontend switches to an HTTP backend, but are not possible to
report. So let's relax the check to explicitly allow them to be present
in TCP frontends.
Log format is defined in the frontend, and some frontends may be chained to
an HTTP backend. Sometimes it's very convenient to be able to log the HTTP
status code of these HTTP backends. This status is definitely present in
the internal structures, it's just that we used to limit it to be used in
HTTP frontends. So let's simply relax the check to allow it to be used in
TCP frontends as well.
In OpenSSL, the name of a cipher using ephemeral diffie-hellman for key
exchange can start with EDH, but also DHE, EXP-EDH or EXP1024-DHE.
We work around this issue by using the cipher's description instead of
the cipher's name.
Hopefully the description is less likely to change in the future.
When no static DH parameters are specified, this patch makes haproxy
use standardized (rfc 2409 / rfc 3526) DH parameters with prime lenghts
of 1024, 2048, 4096 or 8192 bits for DHE key exchange. The size of the
temporary/ephemeral DH key is computed as the minimum of the RSA/DSA server
key size and the value of a new option named tune.ssl.default-dh-param.
Using the systemd daemon mode the parent doesn't exits but waits for
his childs without closing its listening sockets.
As linux 3.9 introduced a SO_REUSEPORT option (always enabled in
haproxy if available) this will give unhandled connections problems
after an haproxy reload with open connections.
The problem is that when on reload a new parent is started (-Ds
$oldchildspids), in haproxy.c main there's a call to start_proxies
that, without SO_REUSEPORT, should fail (as the old processes are
already listening) and so a SIGTOU is sent to old processes. On this
signal the old childs will call (in pause_listener) a shutdown() on
the listening fd. From my tests (if I understand it correctly) this
affects the in kernel file (so the listen is really disabled for all
the processes, also the parent).
Instead, with SO_REUSEPORT, the call to start_proxies doesn't fail and
so SIGTOU is never sent. Only SIGUSR1 is sent and the listen isn't
disabled for the parent but only the childs will stop listening (with
a call to close())
So, with SO_REUSEPORT, the old childs will close their listening
sockets but will wait for the current connections to finish or
timeout, and, as their parent has its listening socket open, the
kernel will schedule some connections on it. These connections will
never be accepted by the parent as it's in the waitpid loop.
This fix will close all the listeners on the parent before entering the
waitpid loop.

Richard Russo reported that the example code in the PP spec is wrong
now that we slightly changed the format to merge <ver> and <cmd>. Also
rename the field <ver_cmd> to avoid any ambiguity on the usage.
MySQL will in stop supporting pre-4.1 authentication packets in the future
and is already giving us a hard time regarding non-silencable warnings
which are logged on each health check. Warnings look like the following:
"[Warning] Client failed to provide its character set. 'latin1' will be used
as client character set."
This patch adds basic support for post-4.1 authentication by sending the proper
authentication packet with the character set, along with the QUIT command.
Commit b1982e2 ("BUG/MEDIUM: http/session: disable client-side expiration
only after body") was tricky and caused an issue which was fixed by commit
0943757 ("BUG/MEDIUM: session: don't clear CF_READ_NOEXP if analysers are
not called"). But that's not enough, another issue was introduced and further
emphasized by last fix.
The issue is that the CF_READ_NOEXP flag needs to be cleared when waiting
for a new request over that connection, otherwise we cannot expire anymore
an idle connection waiting for a new request.
This explains the neverending keepalives reported by at least 3 different
persons since dev24. No backport is needed.
As reported by Vincent Bernat and Ryan O'Hara, building haproxy with the
option above causes this :
src/dumpstats.c: In function 'stats_dump_sv_stats':
src/dumpstats.c:3059:4: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make: *** [src/dumpstats.o] Error 1
With that option, gcc wants an argument after a string format even when
that string format is a const but not a litteral. It can be anything
invalid, for example an integer when a string is expected, it just
wants something. So feed it with something :-(
Dmitry Sivachenko reported that "uint" doesn't build on FreeBSD 10.

- MINOR: stats: report SSL key computations per second
- MINOR: stats: add counters for SSL cache lookups and misses
One important aspect of SSL performance tuning is the cache size,
but there's no metric to know whether it's large enough or not. This
commit introduces two counters, one for the cache lookups and another
one for cache misses. These counters are reported on "show info" on
the stats socket. This way, it suffices to see the cache misses
counter constantly grow to know that a larger cache could possibly
help.
It's commonly needed to know how many SSL asymmetric keys are computed
per second on either side (frontend or backend), and to know the SSL
session reuse ratio. Now we compute these values and report them in
"show info".
Currently exp_replace() (which is used in reqrep/reqirep) is
vulnerable to a buffer overrun. I have been able to reproduce it using
the attached configuration file and issuing the following command:
wget -O - -S -q http://localhost:8000/`perl -e 'print "a"x4000'`/cookie.php
Str was being checked only in in while (str) and it was possible to
read past that when more than one character was being accessed in the
loop.
WT:
Note that this bug is only marked MEDIUM because configurations
capable of triggering this bug are very unlikely to exist at all due
to the fact that most rewrites consist in static string additions
that largely fit into the reserved area (8kB by default).
This fix should also be backported to 1.4 and possibly even 1.3 since
it seems to have been present since 1.1 or so.

More and more people are complaining about the bugs experienced by
Chrome users due to the pre-connect feature and the fact that Chrome
does not monitor its connections and happily displays the error page
instead of re-opening a new connection. Since we can work around this
bug, let's document how to do it.
The last commit provides time-based filtering. Unfortunately, it wastes
90% of the time calling the expensive time()/localtime()/mktime()
functions.
This patch does 3 things :
- call time()/localtime() only once to initialize the correct
struct timeinfo ;
- call mktime() only when the time has changed regardless of
the current second.
- manually add the current second to the cached result.
Doing just this is enough to multiply the parsing speed by 8.
I wanted to make a graph with average answer time in nagios that takes only
the last 5 mn of the log. Filtering the log before using halog was too
slow, so I added that filter to halog.
The patch attached to this mail is a proposal to add a new option : -time
[min][:max]
The values are min timestamp and/or max timestamp of the lines to be used
for stats. The date and time of the log lines between '[' and ']' are
converted to timestamp and compared to these values.
Here is an exemple of usage :
cat /var/log/haproxy.log | ./halog -srv -H -q -time $(date --date '-5 min' +%s)
We now retrieve a lot of information from a single line of response, which
can be made up of various words delimited by spaces/tabs/commas. We try to
arrange all this and report whatever unusual we detect. The agent now supports :
- "up", "down", "stopped", "fail" for the operational states
- "ready", "drain", "maint" for the administrative states
- any "%" number for the weight
- an optional reason after a "#" that can be reported on the stats page
The line parser and processor should move to its own function so that
we can reuse the exact same one for http-based agent checks later.
When an agent is enabled and forces a down state, it's important to have
this exact information and to report the agent's status, so let's check
the agent before checking the health check.
Commit 671b6f0 ("MEDIUM: Add enable and disable agent unix socket commands")
forgot to update the relevant help messages. This was done in 1.5-dev20, no
backport is needed.
Agent will have the ability to return a weight without indicating an
up/down status. Currently this is not possible, so let's add a 5th
result CHK_RES_NEUTRAL for this purpose. It has been mapped to the
unused HCHK_STATUS_CHECKED which already serves as a neutral delimitor
between initiated checks and those returning a result.
Indicate "Agent" instead of "Health" in health check reports sent when
"option log-health-checks" is set. Also, ensure that any agent check
status change is correctly reported. Till now we used not to emit logs
when the agent could not be reached.
Till now we only had "DOWN" on the stats page, whether it's the agent
or regular checks which caused this status. Let's differentiate the
two with "DOWN (agent)" so that admins know that the agent is causing
this status.
This command supports "agent", "health", "state" and "weight" to adjust
various server attributes as well as changing server health check statuses
on the fly or setting the drain mode.
Instead of enabling/disabling maintenance mode and drain mode separately
using 4 actions, we now offer 3 simplified actions :
- set state to READY
- set state to DRAIN
- set state to MAINT
They have the benefit of reporting the same state as displayed on the page,
and of doing the double-switch atomically eg when switching from drain to
maint.
Note that the old actions are still supported for users running scripts.
