The ring_write() function uses confusing variable names: totlen is in
fact the length of the message, not the total length that is going to
be written. Let's rename it msglen and have a real "needed" that
corresponds to the total size we're going to write. We also add a
BUG_ON_HOT() to catch mistakes causing discrepancies.
Many ring-based APIs need a tail and a head, with some extra assumption
that the user takes care of not filling the ring so that tail==head is
unambiguous. Vectors are particularly suited to this usage so here we
create 4 functions to create vectors representing free room or data
from a ring, as well as updating rings based on a pair of vectors that
represents either free space or data.
The buffers API defines both a storage layout and how to handle the
data. The storage is shared with the chunks API which only deals with
non-wrapping messages while buffers support wrapping both of the data
and of the free space. As such, most of the buffers code already makes
special cases of two parts in a buffer, the first one before wrapping
and the optional second one after the wrapping occurred.
The thing is, there are plenty of other places (e.g. rings) where the
code dealing with wrapping is desirable but with a different storage
layout. Let's export the existing buffer handling code related to
reading/writing wrapping data and make it work with arbitrary vector
pairs instead. This will handle wrapping and holes in messages if
desired, and it will be up to the caller to decide how its messages
are arranged and to pass the relevant ptr,len elements.
The code is limited to two vectors because this is sufficient to deal
with wrapping without making the code needlessly complex. I.e. this will
not reassemble an iovec. For vectors, since we already had the ist type,
there's no point inventing a new type, and it's even possible that over
time some callers will find benefits in using this unified API (i.e. no
NOP translation layer). It also allows to pass inputs as direct arguments
and outputs as pointers. Not only this is more efficient code-wise, but
it also avoids the accidental use of a wrong function. It was indeed
found that naming functions is even harder than with the buffer as the
notion of from/to is even fuzzier here.
The API will likely continue to evolve and some functions might get
renamed to more explicit ones over time to limit confusion. For now
the code provides anything needed to reset/create/fill/erase/read/peek
or measure vector pairs and to manipulate chars/blocks/varints to/from
there.
In order to support concurrent writers we'll need to lock areas in the
buffer. For this we'll use one special value of the single-byte readers
count. Let's reserve it now and use the macro instead of the hardcoded
255.
The goal is to remove references to the buffer's head and tail in the
fast path so that we can release the lock during some reads. This means
no more comparisons with b_data() nor operations relative to b_head()
will be possible anymore. As a first step we need to have an absolute
offset in the buffer, and to use b_getblk_ofs() in the applet callbacks
to retrieve the data based on this.
For some concurrently accessed buffers we can't rely on head/data etc,
but sometimes the access patterns guarantees that the buffer contents
are there. Let's implement a function to read contents from a fixed
offset, which never checks head nor data, only the area and its size.
It's the caller's job to get this offset.
This new function b_putblk_ofs() puts one full block of data of length
<len> from <blk> into the buffer, starting from absolute offset <offset>
after the buffer's area. As a convenience to avoid complex checks in
callers, the offset is allowed to exceed a valid one by no more than one
buffer size, and will automatically be wrapped. The caller is responsible
for ensuring that <len> doesn't exceed the known length of the available
room at this position, otherwise data may be overwritten. The buffer's
length is *not* updated, so generally the caller will have updated it
before calling this function. This is meant to be used on concurrently
accessed buffers, so that a writer can append data while a reader is
blocked by other means from reaching the current area The function
guarantees never to use ->head nor ->data.
This code becomes even simpler and almost does not need any knowledge
of the structure of the ring anymore. It even highlighted that an old
race had not been fixed due to code duplication, but that's now done.
This new function is made around the loop that scans a ring for new
messages and dispatches them to a message handler. It also takes
ring flags (WAIT, NEW, etc) and offset pointers that the caller will
use to initialize/reuse/update the current processing offset. The
caller is still responsible for presetting it to ~0 before the
first call if it wants the function to automatically adjust it (or set
it to the correct value). The function may also return the last_ofs
that was known before releasing the lock so that the caller knows
what to compare against and if it needs to restart processing or not.
The context remains a void* so that should not necessarily depend on
an appctx.
The current "show ring" code was ported to this and it continues to
work as expected.
A ring is used for the DNS code but slightly differently from the generic
one, which prevents some important changes from being made to the generic
code without breaking DNS. As the use cases differ, it's better to just
split them apart for now and have the DNS code use its own ring that we
rename dns_ring and let the generic code continue to live on its own.
The unused parts such as CLI registration were dropped, resizing and
allocation from a mapped area were dropped. dns_ring_detach_appctx() was
kept despite not being used, so as to stay consistent with the comments
that say it must be called, despite the DNS code explicitly mentioning
that it skips it for now (i.e. this may change in the future).
Hopefully after the generic rings are converted the DNS code can migrate
back to them, though this is really not necessary.
The rink reader code was duplicated as-is in 2.2 for the ring forwarding
code in commits 494c505703 ("MEDIUM: ring: add server statement to forward
messages from a ring") and 975564784f ("MEDIUM: ring: add new srv statement
to support octet counting forward") (which only differs by using a prefix
instead of a suffix to delimit messages).
Unfortunately, that makes it almost impossible to rework the core ring
code because all these parts rely on it. This first commit aims at
restoring a common structure for the core loop by just calling a distinct
function based on the use case. The functions are either
applet_append_line() when a whole line is to be emitted followed by an LF
character, or syslog_applet_appent_event() when trying to send a TCP
syslog line prepended with its size in decimal.
There is no functional change beyond this.
This function takes a buffer on input, and offset and a length, and
consumes the block from that buffer to send it to the appctx's output
buffer. Contrary to its sibling applet_append_line(), instead of just
appending an LF at the end of the line, it prepends the message size
in decimal and a space before the message, as expected by syslog TCP
implementaions. This will be used to simplify the ring reader code.
This function takes a buffer on input, and offset and a length, and

Tests on various systems show that x86 prefers not to wait at all inside
read loops while aarch64 prefers to wait a little bit. Instead of having
to stuff ifdefs around __ha_cpu_relax() inside plenty of such loops
waiting for a condition to appear, better implement a new variant that
we call __ha_cpu_relax_for_read() which honors each architecture's
preferences and is the same as __ha_cpu_relax() for other ones.
This new command, enabled only with "DEBUG_DEV", sends 2 or 20 traces
per task wakeup (depending on the verbosity level), and stops after 1M
wakeups per thread in order not to have to stop/start the process each
time it's fired.
We have two small messages and 18 larger ones from 20 to 270 bytes
each, so that the average size is approx 213 bytes counting headers
(the header adds approx 82 bytes), which matches what's generally
observed on average when traces are enabled in all muxes.
Typical figures show varations between 5.7M and 6.2M msg/s on an EPYC
in a 3C6T setup (single CCX), and 2.12M - 2.22M in a 24C48T setup
(across 8 CCX, with 8 thread groups).
In http_7239_extract_{ipv4,ipv6}, we declare a local buffer in order to
use inet_pton() since it requires a valid destination argument (cannot be
NULL). Then, if the caller provided <ip> argument, we copy inet_pton()
result (from local buffer to <ip>).
In fact when the caller provides <ip>, we may directly use <ip> as
inet_pton() dst argument to avoid an useless copy. Thus the local buffer
is only relevant when the user doesn't provide <ip>.
While at it, let's add a missing testcase for the rfc7239_n2nn converter
(to check that http_7239_extract_ipv4() with <ip> provided works properly)
This could be backported in 2.8 with b2bb925 ("MINOR: proxy/http_ext:
introduce proxy forwarded option")
Willy reported that since 3ac79b504 ("MEDIUM: server:
make server_set_inetaddr() updater serializable"), haproxy fails to
compile on some older compilers such as gcc-4.4 with this kind of error:
src/server.c: In function 'snr_resolution_cb':
src/server.c:4471: error: unknown field 'dns_resolver' specified in initializer
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
make: *** [Makefile:1006: src/server.o] Error 1
This is due to referencing a member inside anonymous union from a compound
literal assignment. Apparently such use of anonymous union wasn't properly
supported back then on older compilers. To fix the issue, we give "u" name
to the parent union use this name to explicitly refer to the union where
relevant in the code (only a few changes fortunately).
The fix itself was verified to restore build compatibility with gcc 4.4
(and even 4.2).
As 3ac79b504 is used as a prerequisite for 64c9c8ef3 ("BUG/MINOR:
server/dns: use server_set_inetaddr() to unset srv addr from DNS"), please
consider backporting this patch too if 64c9c8ef3 happens to be backported
in 2.9.
Trailers are skipped by the FCGI multiplexer. However empty chunked messages
are not properly handled. It may be a chunked H1 request with no payload or
a H2/H3 POST request with no payload. In that caes, the EOT HTX block is
just ignored. The issue is that the EOM flag is thus ignored too. It means
no empty STDIN record is sent to mark the end of the request to the server.
To fix the issue, when a EOT htx block is found and it is the last HTX block
of the message (and it should be), the EOM flag is tested. If it is found,
an empty STDIN record is emitted.
This patch should fix the issue #2499. It must be backported as far as 2.4.
QUIC MUX is freed via qcc_release(). This in turn liberate all the
remaining QCS instances. For each one of them, their corresponding
stream-desc is released via qc_stream_desc_release().
This last function may itself notifies QUIC MUX when new buffers are
available. This is useful when QCS are closed individually without the
whole connection. However, when the connection is closed through
qcc_release(), this may cause issue as some elements of QUIC MUX are
already freed.
In 2.9.6, a bug was detected directly linked to this. Indeed, QCC
instance may be woken up on stream-desc release. If called through
qcc_release(), this is an issue because QCC tasklet is freed before QCS
instances. However, this bug is not systematic and relies on prior
conditions : in particular, QUIC MUX must be under Tx buffers exhaustion
prior to the qcc_release() invocation.
The current dev tree is not impacted by this bug, thanks to QUIC MUX
refactoring. Indeed, notifying accross layers have changed and now
stream-desc release notifies individual QCS instances instead of the QCC
element, which is a safer mechanism. However, to simplify backport
process, bugfix is introduced in the current dev tree as it does not
have any impact.
Note that a proper fix would be to set quic-conn MUX state to
QC_MUX_RELEASED. However, it is not possible to call quic_close()
without having releasing all stream-desc elements first. The simpler
solution was chosen to prevent other breaking issues during backports.
This should fix github issue #2494.
It should be backported up to 2.6. Note that prior to 2.7 qcc_release()
was named qc_release().
This commit similar to the following one :
65ae241dcfe710e1cdd3ec4e7a9bde38d2e4c116
MEDIUM: server: close idle conn before server deletion
This patch implements a similar logic, this time to close private idle
connections stored in sessions. The principle is identical to the above
commit : conn_release() is used on idle connections after a takeover to
ensure thread safety.
An extra change was required to be able to execute takeover on such
connections. Their original thread ID was unknown, contrary to non
private connections which are stored in sharded lists. As such, a new
tid member has been added under sess_priv_conns chaining element.
When a backend connection is marked as idle, a special flag TASK_F_USR1
is set on MUX tasklet. When MUX tasklet is reactivated, extra checks are
executed under this flag to ensure no takeover occurred in the meantime.
Previously, only non private connections could be targetted by a
takeover. However, this will change when implementing private idle
connections closure on "delete server" CLI handler. As such, TASK_F_USR1
is now also set for private connections in MUX detach callbacks.
To be able to delete a server, a number of preconditions must be
validated to ensure it is not in used anymore. Previously, if idle
connections were stored in the server, the deletion was cancelled. No
action was implemented to force idle connection closure, the only
solution was to wait for the periodic purging to be achieved.
This is an extra burden to be able to delete a server. Indeed, idle
connections are by definition inactive and can be closed prior to delete
a server. This is the exact purpose of this patch.
Idle connections removal is implemented inside "delete server" handler,
once it has been determined that the server can be freely removed. A
simple loop is run to call conn_release() over each idle connections.
Takeover is also executed before conn_release() to ensure tasks/tasklets
or any other sensible elements are not deleted from a foreign thread.
This patch should reduce the occurence of rejected "delete server"
execution, especially when connection reuse is high.
Extend takeover API both for MUX and XPRT with a new boolean argument
<release>. Its purpose is to signal if the connection will be freed
immediately after the takeover, rendering new resources allocation
unnecessary.
For the moment, release argument is always false. However, it will be
set to true on delete server CLI handler to proactively close server
idle connections.
Several places reuse the same code to ensure a connection is properly
freed, either via its MUX or by calling the proper set of functions.
Factorize all of this in a new function conn_release().
This new function is now called via session_free() and
session_accept_fd(). It will also be reused on delete server to
proactively close idle connections.
Those fetchess were undocumented and were just here so that the
ocsp-update log could be made through a regular log format. But since
the logging is now "handmade" (since BUG/MEDIUM: ssl: Fix crash in
ocsp-update log function), we don't need those anymore.
Since commit "BUG/MEDIUM: ssl: Fix crash in ocsp-update log function",
some information from the log line are "faked" because they can be
actually retrieved anymore (or never could). We should then remove them
from the logline all along instead of providing some useless fields.
We then only keep pure OCSP-update information in the log line:
"<certname> <status> <status str> <fail count> <success count>"
The ocsp-update logging mechanism was built around the 'sess_log'
function which required to keep a pointer to the said session until the
logging function could be called. This was made by keeping a pointer to
the appctx returned by the 'httpclient_start' function. But this appctx
lives its life on its own and might be destroyed before
'ssl_ocsp_send_log' is called, which could result in a crash (UAF).
Fixing this crash requires to stop using the 'sess_log' function to emit
the ocsp-update logs. The log line will then need to be built by hand
out of the information actually available when 'ssl_ocsp_send_log' is
called. Since we don't use the "regular" logging functions anymore, we
don't need to use the error_logformat anymore. In order to keep a
consistent behavior than before, we will keep the same format for the
logs but replace the fields that required a 'sess' pointer by fake
values (the %ci:%cp for instance, which was never filled anyway).
This crash was raised in GitHub issue #2442.
It should be backported up to branch 2.8.
The CLI command "update ssl ocsp-response" was forcefully removing an
OCSP response from the update tree regardless of whether it used to be
in it beforehand or not. But since the main OCSP upate task works by
removing the entry being currently updated from the update tree and then
reinserting it when the update process is over, it meant that in the CLI
command code we were modifying a structure that was already being used.
These concurrent accesses were not properly locked on the "regular"
update case because it was assumed that once an entry was removed from
the update tree, the update task was the only one able to work on it.
Rather than locking the whole update process, an "updating" flag was
added to the certificate_ocsp in order to prevent the "update ssl
ocsp-response" command from trying to update a response already being
updated.
An easy way to reproduce this crash was to perform two "simultaneous"
calls to "update ssl ocsp-response" on the same certificate. It would
then crash on an eb64_delete call in the main ocsp update task function.
This patch can be backported up to 2.8. Wait a little bit before
backporting.
With the current way OCSP responses are stored, a single OCSP response
is stored (in a certificate_ocsp structure) when it is loaded during a
certificate parsing, and each SSL_CTX that references it increments its
refcount. The reference to the certificate_ocsp is kept in the SSL_CTX
linked to each ckch_inst, in an ex_data entry that gets freed when the
context is freed.
One of the downsides of this implementation is that if every ckch_inst
referencing a certificate_ocsp gets detroyed, then the OCSP response is
removed from the system. So if we were to remove all crt-list lines
containing a given certificate (that has an OCSP response), and if all
the corresponding SSL_CTXs were destroyed (no ongoing connection using
them), the OCSP response would be destroyed even if the certificate
remains in the system (as an unused certificate).
In such a case, we would want the OCSP response not to be "usable",
since it is not used by any ckch_inst, but still remain in the OCSP
response tree so that if the certificate gets reused (via an "add ssl
crt-list" command for instance), its OCSP response is still known as
well.
But we would also like such an entry not to be updated automatically
anymore once no instance uses it. An easy way to do it could have been
to keep a reference to the certificate_ocsp structure in the ckch_store
as well, on top of all the ones in the ckch_instances, and to remove the
ocsp response from the update tree once the refcount falls to 1, but it
would not work because of the way the ocsp response tree keys are
calculated. They are decorrelated from the ckch_store and are the actual
OCSP_CERTIDs, which is a combination of the issuer's name hash and key
hash, and the certificate's serial number. So two copies of the same
certificate but with different names would still point to the same ocsp
response tree entry.
The solution that answers to all the needs expressed aboved is actually
to have two reference counters in the certificate_ocsp structure, one
actual reference counter corresponding to the number of "live" pointers
on the certificate_ocsp structure, incremented for every SSL_CTX using
it, and one for the ckch stores.
If the ckch_store reference counter falls to 0, the corresponding
certificate must have been removed via CLI calls ('set ssl cert' for
instance).
If the actual refcount falls to 0, then no live SSL_CTX uses the
response anymore. It could happen if all the corresponding crt-list
lines were removed and there are no live SSL sessions using the
certificate anymore.
If any of the two refcounts becomes 0, we will always remove the
response from the auto update tree, because there's no point in spending
time updating an OCSP response that no new SSL connection will be able
to use. But the certificate_ocsp object won't be removed from the tree
unless both refcounts are 0.
Must be backported up to 2.8. Wait a little bit before backporting.
By default, backend connections are accounted by the server. This allows
to determine the number of idle connections to keep. A backend
connection can also be marked as private to prevent its reuse. It is
thus removed from server lists into the session list. As such, a private
connection is not accounted into server : conn_set_private() uses
srv_release_conn() to ensure this.
When using HTTP/2 on backend side with default http-reuse safe, the
above principle are mixed. Indeed, when a connection is first used, or
switches from idle to used, it is moved into the session list but it is
not flagged as private. This is done to prevent its sharing by different
clients to prevent head-of-line blocking issue. When all streams are
closed, the connection becomes idle again and is reinserted in the
server list. This has been introduced by the following patch :
0d21deaded
MEDIUM: backend: add reused conn to sess if mux marked as HOL blocking
When freeing a backend connection, special care is taken to ensure
server used counter is decremented. This is implemented into
conn_backend_deinit(). However, this function does this only if the
connection is not present in a session list. This is valid for private
connections. However, if a connection is non-private and present only
temporarily into a session list, the decrement operation won't be
executed despite the connection being accounted by the server.
This bug has several impacts. The server used counter won't be able to
reach its initial null value, even when all its connections are closed.
This can result in a wrong estimation of necessary idle connections,
which may cause unnecessary new connection usage. Also, this will
prevent definitely the server from being removed via "delete server" CLI
command.
This should be backported up to 2.4. Note that conn_backend_deinit() was
introduced in 2.9. For lesser versions, the change should be done
directly into conn_free().
Backend connections can be marked as private to prevent their sharing by
multiple clients. Now, this has become an exception as only two reasons
for data traffic can trigger this (checks are ignored here) :
* http-reuse never
* HTTP response with NTLM header
The first case is easy to manage as the connection is flagged as private
since its inception. However, the second case is dynamic as the
connection can be flagged anytime during its lifetime. When using a
backend protocol such as HTTP/2 with reuse mode aggressive or always, we
face a design issue as the connection would be marked as private,
despite potentially being shared by several clients at the same time.
This is conceptually invalid, but worst it can trigger crashes on MUX
stream detach callback depending on the order of release of the streams,
by calling session_check_idle_conn() with a NULL session. It could also
be possible to have several NTLM responses on a single connection for
different sessions. In this case, connection owner is still being
updated without attaching the connection to its correct session, which
ultimately would cause a crash on session_check_idle_conn with an
invalid session.
Here are two backtrace examples from GDB for such cases :

To solve this issue, simply ignore NTLM responses when using a
multiplexer with streams support and the connection is not already
attached to the session. The connection is not marked as private and
will continue to be shared freely accross clients. This is considered
conceptually valid as NTLM usage (rfc 4559) with HTTP is broken and was
designed only with HTTP/1.1 in mind. A side-effect of the change is that
SESS_FL_PREFER_LAST is also not set anymore on NTLM detection, which
allows following requests to be load-balanced accross several server
instances.
The original behavior is kept for HTTP/1 or if the connection is already
attached to the session. This last case happens when using HTTP/2 with
default http-reuse safe mode since the following patch :
0d21deaded
MEDIUM: backend: add reused conn to sess if mux marked as HOL blocking
This should be backported up to all stable releases. Up until 2.4, it
can be taken as-is. For lesser versions, above patch is not present. In
this case the condition should be restricted only to HTTP/1 usage :
if (srv_conn && strcmp(srv_conn->mux->name, "H1") == 0) {
A crash could occured if a session_add_conn() would temporarily failed
when called via h2_detach(). In this case, connection owner is reset to
NULL. However, if this wasn't the last connection stream, the connection
won't be destroyed. When h2_detach() is recalled for another stream and
this time session_add_conn() succeeds, a crash will occur due to
session_check_idle_conn() invocation with a NULL connection owner.
To fix this, ensure connection owner is always set after
session_add_conn() success.
This bug is considered as minor as the only failure reason for
session_add_conn() is a pool allocation issue.
This should be backported up to all stable releases.
Frames with a too small size must be detected on receive and an error must
be triggered. It is especially important for frames of size 0. Otherwise,
because the frame length is used as return value, the frame is ignored (0 is
the return value to state the frame must be ignored). It is an issue because
in this case, outgoing data, the 4 bytes representing the frame size, are
never consumed. If the agent also closes the connection, this leads to a
wakeup loop because outgoing data are stuck and a shutdown is pending.
In addition, all pending outgoing data are systematcially skipped when the
applet is in SPOE_APPCTX_ST_END state.
The patch should fix the issue #2490. It must be backported to all stable
versions.
It is the first deprecated directive exposed via the
'expose-deprecated-directives' global option. This way, it is possible to
silent the warning about the SPOE uses.
Similarly to "expose-exprimental-directives" option, there is no a global
option to expose some deprecated directives. Idea is to have a way to silent
warnings about deprecated directives when there is no alternative solution.
Of course, deprecated directives covered by this option are not listed and
may change. It is only a best effort to let users upgrade smoothly.
As announced on the ML few weeks (months ?) ago and on several GH issues,
the SPOE is now deprecated. Sadly, this filter should be refactored to work
properly. It was implemented as a functionnal PoC for the 1.7 and since
then, no time was invest to improve it and make it truly maintainable in
time. Worst, other parts of HAProxy evolve, especially applets part, making
maintenance ever more expensive.
Instead of keeping the SPOE filter in a this state and always reply to users
encountering issues or limitations that it is far from perfect but we cannot
work on it for now, we decided to deprecate it.
We can still change our mind before the 3.0.0 release if the situation
evolves. Otherwise the filter will be removed or marked as unmaintained for
the 3.1. If the situation does not change, it means the 3.0 will be the last
version with a true SPOE support.
On soft-stop, we try, as far as possible, to process all pending messages
before closing SPOE applets. However, in sync mode, when an applets waiting
for a response receives the ACK frame, it is switched to IDLE state without
checking if it may be closed. In this case, we will wait the idle timeout
before closing de applet, delaying the soft-stop.
To reduce this delay, on soft-stop, IDLE applets are woken up. On the next
wakeup, the applet will try to process pending messages or will be
closed.
This patch should be backported to all stable versions.
On stream side, the SPOE filter relied on the stream's expiration date to be
woken up and be able to detect processing timeout. However, the stream
expiration date must not be updated this way. Mainly because it may be
overwritten at the end of process_stream(). In the worst case, it is set to
TICK_ETERNITY for any reason. In this case, it is impossible to detect the
SPOE filter must time out and abort the processing.
The right way to do is to set an analysis expiration date on the
corresponding channel, depending on the direction. This expiration date will
be used to compute the stream's expiration date at the end of
process_stream().
This patch may be related to issue #2478. It must be backported to all
stable versions.
A server can only be deleted if there is no elements which reference it.
This is taken care via srv_check_for_deletion(), most notably for active
and idle connections.
A special case occurs for connections directly managed by a session.
This is for so-called private connections, when using http-reuse never
or H2 + http-reuse safe for example. In this case. server does not
account these connections into its idle lists. This caused a bug as the
server is deleted despite the session still being able to access it.
To properly fix this, add a new referencing element into the server for
these session connections. A mt_list has been chosen for this. On
default http-reuse, private connections are typically not used so it
won't make any difference. If using H2 servers, or more generally when
dealing with private connections, insert/delete should typically occur
only once per session lifetime so impact on performance should be
minimal.
This should be backported up to 2.4. Note that srv_check_for_deletion()
was introduced in 3.0 dev tree. On backport, the extra condition in it
should be placed in cli_parse_delete_server() instead.
By default, backend connections are attached to a server instance. This
allows to implement connection reuse. However, in some particular cases,
connection cannot be shared accross several clients. These connections
are considered and private and are attached to the session instance
instead.
These private connections are also indexed by the target server to not
mix them. All of this is implemented via a dedicated structure
previously named struct sess_srv_list.
Rename it to better reflect its usage to struct sess_priv_conns. Also
rename its internal members and all of the associated functions.
This commit is only a renaming, thus no functional impact is expected.
null pointer dereference was reported by Coverity in listener_release()
function. Indeed, we must not try to schedule frontend without task when a
limit is still blocking the frontend. This issue was introduced by commit
65ae1347c7 ("BUG/MINOR: listener: Wake proxy's mngmt task up if necessary on
session release")
This patch should fix issue #2488. It must be backported to all stable
version with the commit above.
When a session is released, listener_release() function is called to notify
the listener. It is an opportunity to resume limited/full listeners. We
first try to resume the listener owning the released session, then all
limited listeners in the global queue and finally all limited listeners in
the frontend's waiting queue. This last step is only performed if there is
no limit applied on the frontend. Nothing is performed if the session rate is
still limited. And it is an issue because if this happens for the last
listener's session, there is no other event to wake the frontend's managment
task up and the listener remains in the limited state.
To fix the issue, when a limit is still applied on the frontent, we must
compute the new wake up date from the sessions rate and schedule the
frontend's managment task.
It is easy to reproduce the issue in SSL by setting a maxconn and a rate
limit on sessions.
This patch should fix the issue #2476. It must be backported to all stable
versions.
