When memmax is forced using "-m", the per-process memory limit is enforced
using setrlimit(), but this value is not used to compute the automatic
maxconn limit. In addition, the per-process memory limit didn't consider
the fact that the shared SSL cache only needs to be accounted once.
The doc was also fixed to clearly state that "-m" is global and not per
process. It makes sense because people who use -m want to protect the
system's resources regardless of whatever appears in the configuration.
Since commit fd7edd3 ("MINOR: Move http method enum from proto_http to sample")
proto_http.h needs to include sample.h. This can be backported to 1.6 though
it doesn't affect existing code.
Causes HAProxy to emit a static string to the agent on every check,
so that you can independently control multiple services running
behind a single agent port.
The direction (request or response) is not propagated in the
sample fecthes called throught Lua. This patch adds the direction
status in some structs (hlua_txn and hlua_smp) to make sure that
the sample fetches will be called with all the information.
The converters can not access to a TXN object, so there are not
impacted the direction. However, the samples used as input of the
Lua converter wrapper are initiliazed with the direction. Thereby,
the struct smp stay consistent.
[wt: needs to be backported to 1.6]
Basically, it's ill-defined and shouldn't really be used going forward.
We can't guarantee that resolvers will do the 'legwork' for us and
actually resolve CNAMES when we request the ANY query-type. Case in point

HAProxy can't handle that response correctly.
Rather than try to build in support for resolving CNAMEs presented
without an A record in an answer section (which may be a valid
improvement further on), this change just skips ANY record types
altogether. A and AAAA are much more well-defined and predictable.
Notably, this commit preserves the implicit "Prefer IPV6 behavior."
Furthermore, ANY query type by default is a bad idea: (from Robin on
HAProxy's ML):
Using ANY queries for this kind of stuff is considered by most people
to be a bad practice since besides all the things you named it can
lead to incomplete responses. Basically a resolver is allowed to just
return whatever it has in cache when it receives an ANY query instead
of actually doing an ANY query at the authoritative nameserver. Thus
if it only received queries for an A record before you do an ANY query
you will not get an AAAA record even if it is actually available since
the resolver doesn't have it in its cache. Even worse if before it
only got MX queries, you won't get either A or AAAA
This is equivalent to commit 2af207a ("MEDIUM: tcp: implement tcp-ut
bind option to set TCP_USER_TIMEOUT") except that this time it works
on the server side. The purpose is to detect dead server connections
even when checks are rare, disabled, or after a soft reload (since
checks are disabled there as well), and to ensure client connections
will get killed faster.
Michael Ezzell reported a bug causing haproxy to segfault during startup
when trying to send syslog message from Lua. The function __send_log() can
be called with *p that is NULL and/or when the configuration is not fully
parsed, as is the case with Lua.
This patch fixes this problem by using individual vectors instead of the
pre-generated strings log_htp and log_htp_rfc5424.
Also, this patch fixes a problem causing haproxy to write the wrong pid in
the logs -- the log_htp(_rfc5424) strings were generated at the haproxy
start, but "pid" value would be changed after haproxy is started in
daemon/systemd mode.
This patch adds a new RFC5424-specific log-format for the structured-data
that is automatically send by __send_log() when the sender is in RFC5424
mode.
A new statement "log-format-sd" should be used in order to set log-format
for the structured-data part in RFC5424 formatted syslog messages.
Example:
log-format-sd [exampleSDID@1234\ bytes=\"%B\"\ status=\"%ST\"]
The function __send_log() iterates over senders and passes the header as
the first vector to sendmsg(), thus it can send a logger-specific header
in each message.
A new logger arguments "format rfc5424" should be used in order to enable
RFC5424 header format. For example:
log 10.2.3.4:1234 len 2048 format rfc5424 local2 info
At the moment we have to call snprintf() for every log line just to
rebuild a constant. Thanks to sendmsg(), we send the message in 3 parts:
time-based header, proxy-specific hostname+log-tag+pid, session-specific
message.
This new target can be called from the frontend or the backend. It
is evaluated just before the backend choice and just before the server
choice. So, the input stream or HTTP request can be forwarded to a
server or to an internal service.
This patch only declares the execution timeout variable. The applet
must be respect or ignore it. For example an applet who doing some
network accesses and doesn't control its execution yime should use
this timeout.
this patch adds init function for the applet. the HAProxy standard
applet (peers, stats, lua) have no standard way for the applet
initialisation. This new function pointer have for goal to try to
standardize the applet initialization.
This flag is used by custom actions to know that they're called for the
first time. The only case where it's not set is when they're resuming
from a yield. It will be needed to let them know when they have to
allocate some resources.
The garbage collector is a little bit heavy to run, and it was added
only for cosockets. This patch prevent useless executions when no
cosockets are used.
This new flag indicates to a custom action that it must not yield because
it will not be called anymore. This addresses an issue introduced by commit
bc4c1ac ("MEDIUM: http/tcp: permit to resume http and tcp custom actions"),
which made it possible to yield even after the last call and causes Lua
actions not to be stopped when the session closes. Note that the Lua issue
is not fixed yet at this point. Also only TCP rules were handled, for now
HTTP rules continue to let the action yield since we don't know whether or
not it is a final call.
Since commit bc4c1ac ("MEDIUM: http/tcp: permit to resume http and tcp
custom actions"), some actions may yield and be called back when new
information are available. Unfortunately some of them may continue to
yield because they simply don't know that it's the last call from the
rule set. For this reason we'll need to pass a flag to the custom
action to pass such information and possibly other at the same time.
This private configuration pointer is used for storing some configuration
data associated the keyword, So many keywords can use the same parse
function, and this one can use a discriminator.
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.
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.
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.
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

> ^
> 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.
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.
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.
3 variables of the dns_resolution structure are set to 'time_t' type.
Since they are all set by 'now_ms' and used as 'ticks' in HAProxy's
internal, it is safer to set them to the same type than now_ms:
'unsigned int'.
When converting the "method" fetch to a string, we used to get an empty
string if the first character was not an upper case. This was caused by
the lookup function which returns HTTP_METH_NONE when a lookup is not
possible, and this method being mapped to an empty string in the array.
This is a totally stupid mechanism, there's no reason for having the
result depend on the first char. In fact the message parser already
checks that the syntax matches an HTTP token so we can only land there
with a valid token, hence only HTTP_METH_OTHER should be returned.
This fix should be backported to all actively supported branches.
Before this patch, two type of custom actions exists: ACT_ACTION_CONT and
ACT_ACTION_STOP. ACT_ACTION_CONT is a non terminal action and ACT_ACTION_STOP is
a terminal action.
Note that ACT_ACTION_STOP is not used in HAProxy.
This patch remove this behavior. Only type type of custom action exists, and it
is called ACT_CUSTOM. Now, the custion action can return a code indicating the
required behavior. ACT_RET_CONT wants that HAProxy continue the current rule
list evaluation, and ACT_RET_STOP wants that HAPRoxy stops the the current rule
list evaluation.
This patch is inspired by Bowen Ni's proposal and it is based on his first
implementation:
With Lua integration in HAProxy 1.6, one can change the request method,
path, uri, header, response header etc except response line.
I'd like to contribute the following methods to allow modification of the
response line.
[...]
There are two new keywords in 'http-response' that allows you to rewrite
them in the native HAProxy config. There are also two new APIs in Lua that
allows you to do the same rewriting in your Lua script.
Example:
Use it in HAProxy config:
*http-response set-code 404*
Or use it in Lua script:
*txn.http:res_set_reason("Redirect")*
I dont take the full patch because the manipulation of the "reason" is useless.
standard reason are associated with each returned code, and unknown code can
take generic reason.
So, this patch can set the status code, and the reason is automatically adapted.
This was the first transparent proxy technology supported by haproxy
circa 2005 but it was obsoleted in 2007 by Tproxy 4.0 which removed a
lot of the earlier versions' shortcomings and was finally merged into
the kernel. Since nobody has been using cttproxy for many years now
and nobody has even just tried to compile the files, it's time to
remove it. The doc was updated as well.
