These ones were still in cfgparse.c but they're not specific to the
config at all and may actually be used even when parsing cpu list
entries in /sys. Better move them where they can be reused.
cpu_map is 8.2kB/entry and there's one such entry per group, that's
~520kB total. In addition, the init code is still in haproxy.c enclosed
in ifdefs. Let's make this a dynamically allocated array in the cpuset
code and remove that init code.
Later we may even consider reallocating it once the number of threads
and groups is known, in order to shrink it a little bit, as the typical
setup with a single group will only need 8.2kB, thus saving half a MB
of RAM. This would require that the upper bound is placed in a variable
though.
This function takes on input a printf format for the file name, making
it particularly suitable for /proc or /sys entries which take a lot of
numbers. It also automatically trims the trailing CR and/or LF chars.
The function generate_random_cluster_secret() which initializes the cluster secret
when not supplied by configuration is buggy. There 1/256 that the cluster secret
string is empty.
To fix this, one stores the cluster as a reduced size first 128 bits of its own
SHA1 (160 bits) digest, if defined by configuration. If this is not the case, it
is initialized with a 128 bits random value. Furthermore, thus the cluster secret
is always initialized.
As the cluster secret is always initialized, there are several tests which
are for now on useless. This patch removes such tests (if(global.cluster_secret))
in the QUIC code part and at parsing time: no need to check that a cluster
secret was initialized with "quic-force-retry" option.
Must be backported as far as 2.6.
This patch implements the 'curves' keyword on server lines as well as
the 'ssl-default-server-curves' keyword in the global section.
It also add the keyword on the server line in the ssl_curves reg-test.
These keywords allow the configuration of the curves list for a server.
We currently know the number of tasks in the run queue that are niced,
and we don't expose it. It's too bad because it can give a hint about
what share of the load is relevant. For example if one runs a Lua
script that was purposely reniced, or if a stats page or the CLI is
hammered with slow operations, seeing them appear there can help
identify what part of the load is not caused by the traffic, and
improve monitoring systems or autoscalers.
When building the secondary signature for cache entries when vary is
enabled, the referer part of the signature was a simple crc32 of the
first referer header.
This patch changes it to a 64bits hash based of xxhash algorithm with a
random seed built during init. This will prevent "malicious" hash
collisions between entries of the cache.
We previously had postparsing logic but only for logsrv sinks, but now we
need to make this operation on logsrv directly instead of sinks to prepare
for additional postparsing logic that is not sink-specific.
To do this, we migrated post_sink_resolve() and sink_postresolve_logsrvs()
to their postresolve_logsrvs() and postresolve_logsrv_list() equivalents.
Then, we split postresolve_logsrv_list() so that the sink-only logic stays
in sink.c (sink_resolve_logsrv_buffer() function), and the "generic"
target part stays in log.c as resolve_logsrv().
Error messages formatting was preserved as far as possible but some slight
variations are to be expected.
As for the functional aspect, no change should be expected.
All applets only check the -1 error value (need room) for applet_put*
functions while the underlying functions may also return -2 if the input is
closed or -3 if the data length is invalid. It means applets already handle
other cases by their own.
The API should be fixed but for now, to ease backports, we only fix
applet_put* functions to always return -1 on error. This way, at least for
the applets point of view, the API is consistent.
This patch should be backported to 2.8. Probably not further. Except if we
suspect it could fix a bug.
Due to the fact that several variable values (rtt_var, srtt) were stored as multiple
of their real values, some calculations were less accurate as expected.
Stop storing 4*rtt_var values, and 8*srtt values.
Adjust all the impacted statements.
Must be backported as far as 2.6.
This detects when there are more threads bound via cpu-map than CPUs
enabled in cpu-map, or when there are more total threads than the total
number of CPUs available at boot (for unbound threads) and configured
for bound threads. In this case, a warning is emitted to explain the
problems it will cause, and explaining how to address the situation.
Note that some configurations will not be detected as faulty because
the algorithmic complexity to resolve all arrangements grows in O(N!).
This means that having 3 threads on 2 CPUs and one thread on 2 CPUs
will not be detected as it's 4 threads for 4 CPUs. But at least configs
such as T0:(1,4) T1:(1,4) T2:(2,4) T3:(3,4) will not trigger a warning
since they're valid.
It's very easy to mess up with some cpu-map directives and to leave
some thread unbound. Let's add a test that checks that either all
threads are bound or none are bound, but that we do not face the
intermediary situation where some are pinned and others are left
wandering around, possibly on the same CPUs as bound ones.
Note that this should not be backported, or maybe turned into a
notice only, as it appears that it will easily catch invalid
configs and that may break updates for some users.
Till now the CPUs that were bound were only retrieved in
thread_cpus_enabled() in order to count the number of CPUs allowed,
and it relied on arch-specific code.
Let's slightly arrange this into ha_cpuset_detect_bound() that
reuses the ha_cpuset struct and the accompanying code. This makes
the code much clearer without having to carry along some arch-specific
stuff out of this area.
Note that the macos-specific code used in thread.c to only count
online CPUs but not retrieve a mask, so for now we can't infer
anything from it and can't implement it.
In addition and more importantly, this function is reliable in that
it will only return a value when the detection is accurate, and will
not return incomplete sets on operating systems where we don't have
an exact list, such as online CPUs.
When building without threads, the recently introduced BUG_ON(tid != 0)
turns to a constant expression that evaluates to 0 and that is not used,
resulting in this warning:
src/connection.c: In function 'conn_free':
src/connection.c:584:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
This is because the whole thing is declared as an expression for clarity.
Make it return void to avoid this. No backport is needed.
This adds a new option for the Makefile USE_OPENSSL_AWSLC, and
update the documentation with instructions to use HAProxy with
AWS-LC.
Update the type of the OCSP callback retrieved with
SSL_CTX_get_tlsext_status_cb with the actual type for
libcrypto versions greater than 1.0.2. This doesn't affect
OpenSSL which casts the callback to void* in SSL_CTX_ctrl.
For the same reason than the previous patch, we must not block the sends
when there is a pending shutdown. In other words, we must consider the sends
are allowed when there is a pending shutdown.
This patch must slowly be backported as far as 2.2. It should partially fix
issue #2249.
The progressive adoption of OpenSSL 3 and its abysmal handshake
performance has started to reveal situations where it simply isn't
possible anymore to succesfully run health checks on many servers,
because between the moment all the checks are started and the moment
the handshake finally completes, the timeout has expired!
This also has consequences on production traffic which gets
significantly delayed as well, all that for lots of checks. While it's
possible to increase the check delays, it doesn't solve everything as
checks still take a huge amount of time to converge in such conditions.
Here we take a different approach by permitting to enforce the maximum
concurrent checks per thread limitation and implementing an ordered
queue. Thanks to this, if a thread about to start a check has reached
its limit, it will add the check at the end of a queue and it will be
processed once another check is finished. This proves to be extremely
efficient, with all checks completing in a reasonable amount of time
and not being disturbed by the rest of the traffic from other checks.
They're just cycling slower, but at the speed the machine can handle.
One must understand however that if some complex checks perform multiple
exchanges, they will take a check slot for all the required duration.
This is why the limit is not enforced by default.
Tests on SSL show that a limit of 5-50 checks per thread on local
servers gives excellent results already, so that could be a good starting
point.
When the current check is overloaded (more running checks than the
configured limit), we'll try more aggressively to find another thread.
Instead of just opportunistically looking for one half as loaded, now if
the current thread has more than 1% more active checks than another one,
or has more than a configured limit of concurrent running checks, it will
search for a more suitable thread among 3 other random ones in order to
migrate the check there. The number of migrations remains very low (~1%)
and the checks load very fair across all threads (~1% as well). The new
parameter is called tune.max-checks-per-thread.
Let's keep two check counters per thread:
- one for "active" checks, i.e. checks that are no more sleeping
and are assigned to the thread. These include sleeping and
running checks ;
- one for "running" checks, i.e. those which are currently
executing on the thread.
By doing so, we'll be able to spread the health checks load a bit better
and refrain from sending too many at once per thread. The counters are
atomic since a migration increments the target thread's active counter.
These numbers are reported in "show activity", which allows to check
per thread and globally how many checks are currently pending and running
on the system.
Ideally, we should only consider checks in the process of establishing
a connection since that's really the expensive part (particularly with
OpenSSL 3.0). But the inner layers are really not suitable to doing
this. However knowing the number of active checks is already a good
enough hint.
We now count the number of times a check was started on each thread
and the number of times a check was adopted. This helps understand
better what is observed regarding checks.
The goal here is to explicitly mark that a check was migrated so that
we don't do it again. This will allow us to perform other actions on
the target thread while still knowing that we don't want to be migrated
again. The new READY bit combine with SLEEPING to form 4 possible states:
SLP RDY State Description
0 0 - (reserved)
0 1 RUNNING Check is bound to current thread and running
1 0 SLEEPING Check is sleeping, not bound to a thread
1 1 MIGRATING Check is migrating to another thread
Thus we set READY upon migration, and check for it before migrating, this
is sufficient to prevent a second migration. To make things a bit clearer,
the SLEEPING bit was switched with FASTINTER so that SLEEPING and READY are
adjacent.
The CHK_ST_SLEEPING state was introduced by commit d114f4a68 ("MEDIUM:
checks: spread the checks load over random threads") to indicate that
a check was not currently bound to a thread and that it could easily
be migrated to any other thread. However it did not start the checks
in this state, meaning that they were not redispatchable on startup.
Sometimes under heavy load (e.g. when using SSL checks with OpenSSL 3.0)
the cost of setting up new connections is so high that some threads may
experience connection timeouts on startup. In this case it's better if
they can transfer their excess load to other idle threads. By just
marking the check as sleeping upon startup, we can do this and
significantly reduce the number of failed initial checks.
When a thread creates a new session for a server, if none was known yet,
we assign the thread id (hence the reused_sess index) to a shared variable
so that other threads will later be able to find it when they don't have
one yet. For now we only set and clear the pointer upon session creation,
we do not yet pick it.
Note that we could have done it per thread-group, so as to avoid any
cross-thread exchanges, but it's anticipated that this is essentially
used during startup, at a moment where the cost of inter-thread contention
is very low compared to the ability to restart at full speed, which
explains why instead we store a single entry.
The goal will be to permit a thread to update its session while having
it shared with other threads. For now we only place the lock and arrange
the code around it so that this is quite light. For now only the owner
thread uses this lock so there is no contention.
Note that there is a subtlety in the openssl API regarding
i2s_SSL_SESSION() in that it fills the area pointed to by its argument
with a dump of the session and returns a size that's equal to the
previously allocated one. As such, it does modify the shared area even
if that's not obvious at first glance.
We already have a call that can retreive an TLV with any value.
Therefore, the fetch logic is redundant and can be simplified
by simply calling the generic fetch with the correct TLV ID
set as an argument.
In order to be able to implement fetches in the future that allow
retrieval of any TLVs, a new generic data structure for TLVs is introduced.
Existing TLV fetches for PP2_TYPE_AUTHORITY and PP2_TYPE_UNIQUE_ID are
migrated to use this new data structure. TLV related pools are updated
to not rely on type, but only on size. Pools accomodate the TLV list
element with their associated value. For now, two pools for 128 B and
256 B values are introduced. More fine-grained solutions are possible
in the future, if necessary.
This patch improves readability by scoping HA proxy related PPv2 constants
with a 'HA" prefix. Besides, a new constant for the length of a CRC32C
TLV is introduced. The length is derived from the PPv2 spec, so 32 Bit.
For a while there has been the constraint of having to run as root for
transparent proxying, and we're starting to see some cases where QUIC is
not running in socket-per-connection mode due to the missing capability
that would be needed to bind a privileged port. It's not realistic to
ask all QUIC users on port 443 to run as root, so instead let's provide
a basic support for capabilities at least on linux. The ones currently
supported are cap_net_raw, cap_net_admin and cap_net_bind_service. The
mechanism was made OS-specific with a dedicated file because it really
is. It can be easily refined later for other OSes if needed.
A new keyword "setcaps" is added to the global section, to enumerate the
capabilities that must be kept when switching from root to non-root. This
is ignored in other situations though. HAProxy has to be built with
USE_LINUX_CAP=1 for this to be supported, which is enabled by default
for linux-glibc, linux-glibc-legacy and linux-musl.
A good way to test this is to start haproxy with such a config:
global
uid 1000
setcap cap_net_bind_service
frontend test
mode http
timeout client 3s
bind quic4@:443 ssl crt rsa+dh2048.pem allow-0rtt
and run it under "sudo strace -e trace=bind,setuid", then connecting
there from an H3 client. The bind() syscall must succeed despite the
user id having been switched.
Bug was introduced by commit 26654 ("MINOR: ssl: add "crt" in the
cert_exts array").
When looking for a .crt directly in the cert_exts array, the
ssl_sock_load_pem_into_ckch() function will be called with a argument
which does not have its ".crt" extensions anymore.
If "ssl-load-extra-del-ext" is used this is not a problem since we try
to add the ".crt" when doing the lookup in the tree.
However when using directly a ".crt" without this option it will failed
looking for the file in the tree.
The fix removes the "crt" entry from the array since it does not seem to
be really useful without a rework of all the lookups.
Should fix issue #2265
Must be backported as far as 2.6.
Surprisingly there's no include guard in plock.h though there is one in
atomic-ops.h. Let's add one, or we cannot risk including the file multiple
times.
Backend idle connections are purged on a recurring occurence during the
process lifetime. An estimated number of needed connections is
calculated and the excess is removed periodically.
Before this patch, purge was done directly using the idle then the safe
connection tree of a server instance. This has a major drawback to take
no account of a specific ordre and it may removed functional connections
while leaving ones which will fail on the next reuse.
The problem can be worse when using criteria to differentiate idle
connections such as the SSL SNI. In this case, purge may remove
connections with a high rate of reusing while leaving connections with
criteria never matched once, thus reducing drastically the reuse rate.
To improve this, introduce an alternative storage for idle connection
used in parallel of the idle/safe trees. Now, each connection inserted
in one of this tree is also inserted in the new list at
`srv_per_thread.idle_conn_list`. This guarantees that recently used
connection is present at the end of the list.
During the purge, use this list instead of idle/safe trees. Remove first
connection in front of the list which were not reused recently. This
will ensure that connection that are frequently reused are not purged
and should increase the reuse rate, particularily if distinct idle
connection criterias are in used.
Define a new function _srv_add_idle(). This is a simple wrapper to
insert a connection in the server idle tree. This is reserved for simple
usage and require to idle_conns lock. In most cases,
srv_add_to_idle_list() should be used.
This patch does not have any functional change. However, it will help
with the next patch as idle connection will be always inserted in a list
as secondary storage along with idle/safe trees.
Small change of API for conn_delete_from_tree(). Now the connection
instance is taken as argument instead of its inner node.
No functional change introduced with this commit. This simplifies
slightly invocation of conn_delete_from_tree(). The most useful changes
is that this function will be extended in the next patch to be able to
remove the connection from its new idle list at the same time as in its
idle tree.
Replace ->lock type of pat_ref struct by HA_RWLOCK_T.
Replace all calls to HA_SPIN_LOCK() (resp. HA_SPIN_UNLOCK()) by HA_RWLOCK_WRLOCK()
(resp. HA_RWLOCK_WRUNLOCK()) when a write access is required.
There is only one read access which is needed. This is in the "show map" command
callback, cli_io_handler_map_lookup() where a HA_SPIN_LOCK() call is replaced
by HA_RWLOCK_RDLOCK() (resp. HA_SPIN_UNLOCK() by HA_RWLOCK_RDUNLOCK).
Replace HA_SPIN_INIT() calls by HA_RWLOCK_INIT() calls.
Store a pointer to the expression (struct pattern_expr) into the data structure
used to chain/store the map element references (struct pat_ref_elt) , e.g. the
struct pattern_tree when stored into an ebtree or struct pattern_list when
chained to a list.
Modify pat_ref_set_elt() to stop inspecting all the expressions attached to a map
and to look for the <elt> element passed as parameter to retrieve the sample data
to be parsed. Indeed, thanks to the pointer added above to each pattern tree nodes
or list elements, they all can be inspected directly from the <elt> passed as
parameter and its ->tree_head and ->list_head member: the pattern tree nodes are
stored into elt->tree_head, and the pattern list elements are chained to
elt->list_head list. This inspection was also the job of pattern_find_smp() which
is no more useful. This patch removes the code of this function.
Organize reference to pattern element of map (struct pat_ref_elt) into an ebtree:
- add an eb_root member to the map (pat_ref struct) and an ebpt_node to its
element (pat_ref_elt struct),
- modify the code to insert these nodes into their ebtrees each time they are
allocated. This is done in pat_ref_append().
Note that ->head member (struct list) of map (struct pat_ref) is not removed
could have been removed. This is not the case because still necessary to dump
the map contents from the CLI in the order the map elememnts have been inserted.
This patch also modifies http_action_set_map() which is the callback at least
used by "set-map" action. The pat_ref_elt element returned by pat_ref_find_elt()
is no more ignored, but reused if not NULL by pat_ref_set() as first element to
lookup from. This latter is also modified to use the ebtree attached to the map
in place of the ->head list attached to each map element (pat_ref_elt struct).
Also modify pat_ref_find_elt() to makes it use ->eb_root map ebtree added to the
map by this patch in place of inspecting all the elements with a strcmp() call.
HTTP/2 demux must be handled with care for active reverse connection.
Until accept has been completed, it should be forbidden to handle
HEADERS frame as session is not yet ready to handle streams.
To implement this, use the flag H2_CF_DEM_TOOMANY which blocks demux
process. This flag is automatically set just after conn_reverse()
invocation. The flag is removed on rev_accept_conn() callback via a new
H2 ctl enum. H2 tasklet is woken up to restart demux process.
As a side-effect, reporting in H2 mux may be blocked as demux functions
are used to convert error status at the connection level with
CO_FL_ERROR. To ensure error is reported for a reverse connection, check
h2c_is_dead() specifically for this case in h2_wake(). This change also
has its own side-effect : h2c_is_dead() conditions have been adjusted to
always exclude !h2c->conn->owner condition which is always true for
reverse connection or else H2 mux may kill them unexpectedly.
Implement active reverse connection initialization. This is done through
a new task stored in the receiver structure. This task is instantiated
via bind callback and first woken up via enable callback.
Task handler is separated into two halves. On the first step, a new
connection is allocated and stored in <pend_conn> member of the
receiver. This new client connection will proceed to connect using the
server instance referenced in the bind_conf.
When connect has successfully been executed and HTTP/2 connection is
ready for exchange after SETTINGS, reverse_connect task is woken up. As
<pend_conn> is still set, the second halve is executed which only
execute listener_accept(). This will in turn execute accept_conn
callback which is defined to return the pending connection.
The task is automatically requeued inside accept_conn callback if bind
maxconn is not yet reached. This allows to specify how many connection
should be opened. Each connection is instantiated and reversed serially
one by one until maxconn is reached.
conn_free() has been modified to handle failure if a reverse connection
fails before being accepted. In this case, no session exists to notify
about the failure. Instead, reverse_connect task is requeud with a 1
second delay, giving time to fix a possible network issue. This will
allow to attempt a new connection reverse.
Note that for the moment connection rebinding after accept is disabled
for simplicity. Extra operations are required to migrate an existing
connection and its stack to a new thread which will be implemented
later.
Implement parsing for "rev@" addresses on bind line. On config parsing,
server name is stored on the bind_conf.
Several new callbacks are defined on reverse_connect protocol to
complete parsing. listen callback is used to retrieve the server
instance from the bind_conf server name. If found, the server instance
is stored on the receiver. Checks are implemented to ensure HTTP/2
protocol only is used by the server.
Implement active reverse support inside conn_reverse(). This is used to
transfer the connection from the backend to the frontend side.
A new flag is defined CO_FL_REVERSED which is set just after this
transition. This will be used to identify connections which were
reversed but not yet accepted.
A new protocol named "reverse_connect" is created. This will be used to
instantiate connections that are opened by a reverse bind.
For the moment, only a minimal set of callbacks are defined with no real
work. This will be extended along the next patches.
On connection passive reverse from frontend to backend, its hash node is
calculated to be able to select it from the idle server pool. If
attach-srv rule defined an associated name, reuse it as the value for
SNI prehash.
This change allows a client to select a reverse connection by its name
by configuring its server line with a SNI to permit this.
Add an optional argument 'name' for attach-srv rule. This contains an
expression which will be used as an identifier inside the server idle
pool after reversal. To match this connection for a future transfer
through the server, the SNI server parameter must match this name. If no
name is defined, match will only occur with an empty SNI value.
For the moment, only the parsing step is implemented. An extra check is
added to ensure that the reverse server uses SSL with a SNI. Indeed, if
name is defined but server does not uses a SNI, connections will never
be selected on reused after reversal due to a hash mismatch.
