This will save callers from having to care about conn->xprt and xprt->shutw.
Note that shutw() takes a second argument indicating whether it's a clean or
a hard shutw. This is used by SSL which tries to close cleanly in most cases.
Here we provide two versions, conn_data_shutw() which performs the clean
close, and conn_data_shutw_hard() which does the unclean one.
This function was not used yet and was only supposed to mark the connection
as shutdown for write. Unfortunately at other places in stream_interface.c,
we're seeing a bit of layering violations with attempts to perform the shutdown
on the fd directly. Let's make this function call shutdown() itself so that
the callers only have to care about the connection.
This patch makes it possible to create binds and servers in separate
namespaces. This can be used to proxy between multiple completely independent
virtual networks (with possibly overlapping IP addresses) and a
non-namespace-aware proxy implementation that supports the proxy protocol (v2).
The setup is something like this:
net1 on VLAN 1 (namespace 1) -\
net2 on VLAN 2 (namespace 2) -- haproxy ==== proxy (namespace 0)
net3 on VLAN 3 (namespace 3) -/
The proxy is configured to make server connections through haproxy and sending
the expected source/target addresses to haproxy using the proxy protocol.
The network namespace setup on the haproxy node is something like this:
= 8< =
$ cat setup.sh
ip netns add 1
ip link add link eth1 type vlan id 1
ip link set eth1.1 netns 1
ip netns exec 1 ip addr add 192.168.91.2/24 dev eth1.1
ip netns exec 1 ip link set eth1.$id up
...
= 8< =
= 8< =
$ cat haproxy.cfg
frontend clients
bind 127.0.0.1:50022 namespace 1 transparent
default_backend scb
backend server
mode tcp
server server1 192.168.122.4:2222 namespace 2 send-proxy-v2
= 8< =
A bind line creates the listener in the specified namespace, and connections
originating from that listener also have their network namespace set to
that of the listener.
A server line either forces the connection to be made in a specified
namespace or may use the namespace from the client-side connection if that
was set.

This commit modifies the PROXY protocol V2 specification to support headers
longer than 255 bytes allowing for optional extensions. It implements the
PROXY protocol V2 which is a binary representation of V1. This will make
parsing more efficient for clients who will know in advance exactly how
many bytes to read. Also, it defines and implements some optional PROXY
protocol V2 extensions to send information about downstream SSL/TLS
connections. Support for PROXY protocol V1 remains unchanged.
Using the previous callback, it's trivial to block the heartbeat attack,
first we control the message length, then we emit an SSL error if it is
out of bounds. A special log is emitted, indicating that a heartbleed
attack was stopped so that they are not confused with other failures.
That way, haproxy can protect itself even when running on an unpatched
SSL stack. Tests performed with openssl-1.0.1c indicate a total success.
Users have seen a huge increase in the rate of SSL handshake failures
starting from 2014/04/08 with the release of the Heartbleed OpenSSL
vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160). Haproxy can detect that a heartbeat
was received in the incoming handshake, and such heartbeats are not
supposed to be common, so let's log a different message when a
handshake error happens after a heartbeat is detected.
This patch only adds the new message and the new code.
It's easier and safer to rely on conn_xprt_ready() everywhere than to
check the flag itself. It will also simplify adding extra checks later
if needed. Some useless controls for !xprt have been removed, as the
XPRT_READY flag itself guarantees xprt is set.
It's easier and safer to rely on conn_ctrl_ready() everywhere than to
check the flag itself. It will also simplify adding extra checks later
if needed. Some useless controls for !ctrl have been removed, as the
CTRL_READY flag itself guarantees ctrl is set.
We simply remove these functions and replace their calls with the
appropriate ones :
- if we're in the data phase, we can simply report wait on the FD
- if we're in the socket phase, we may also have to signal the
desire to read/write on the socket because it might not be
active yet.
These flags were used to report the readiness of the file descriptor.
Now this readiness is directly checked at the file descriptor itself.
This removes the need for constantly synchronizing updates between the
file descriptor and the connection and ensures that all layers share
the same level of information.
For now, the readiness is updated in conn_{sock,data}_poll_* by directly
touching the file descriptor. This must move to the lower layers instead
so that these functions can disappear as well. In this state, the change
works but is incomplete. It's sensible enough to avoid making it more
complex.
Now the sock/data updates become much simpler because they just have to
enable/disable access to a file descriptor and not to care anymore about
its readiness.
This commit heavily changes the polling system in order to definitely
fix the frequent breakage of SSL which needs to remember the last
EAGAIN before deciding whether to poll or not. Now we have a state per
direction for each FD, as opposed to a previous and current state
previously. An FD can have up to 8 different states for each direction,
each of which being the result of a 3-bit combination. These 3 bits
indicate a wish to access the FD, the readiness of the FD and the
subscription of the FD to the polling system.
This means that it will now be possible to remember the state of a
file descriptor across disable/enable sequences that generally happen
during forwarding, where enabling reading on a previously disabled FD
would result in forgetting the EAGAIN flag it met last time.
Several new state manipulation functions have been introduced or
adapted :
- fd_want_{recv,send} : enable receiving/sending on the FD regardless
of its state (sets the ACTIVE flag) ;
- fd_stop_{recv,send} : stop receiving/sending on the FD regardless
of its state (clears the ACTIVE flag) ;
- fd_cant_{recv,send} : report a failure to receive/send on the FD
corresponding to EAGAIN (clears the READY flag) ;
- fd_may_{recv,send} : report the ability to receive/send on the FD
as reported by poll() (sets the READY flag) ;
Some functions are used to report the current FD status :
- fd_{recv,send}_active
- fd_{recv,send}_ready
- fd_{recv,send}_polled
Some functions were removed :
- fd_ev_clr(), fd_ev_set(), fd_ev_rem(), fd_ev_wai()
The POLLHUP/POLLERR flags are now reported as ready so that the I/O layers
knows it can try to access the file descriptor to get this information.
In order to simplify the conditions to add/remove cache entries, a new
function fd_alloc_or_release_cache_entry() was created to be used from
pollers while scanning for updates.
The following pollers have been updated :
ev_select() : done, built, tested on Linux 3.10
ev_poll() : done, built, tested on Linux 3.10
ev_epoll() : done, built, tested on Linux 3.10 & 3.13
ev_kqueue() : done, built, tested on OpenBSD 5.2
It is quite often that an connection error only reports "socket error" with
no more information. This is especially problematic with health checks where
many causes are possible, including resource exhaustion which do not lead to
a valid errno code. So let's add explicit codes to cover these cases.
Till now there was no way to know from a connection if a previous
call to drain() had done any change. This function is used to drain
incoming data and to update the connection's flags at the same time.
It also correctly sets the polling flags on the connection if the
drain function indicates inability to receive. This function will
be used preferably over ctrl->drain() when a connection is used.
When allocating a new connection, only the caller knows whether it's
acceptable to reuse the previous one or not. Let's pass this information
to si_alloc_conn() which will do the cleanup if the connection is not
acceptable.
Right now we see many places doing their own setsockopt(SO_LINGER).
Better only do it just before the close() in fd_delete(). For this
we add a new flag on the file descriptor, indicating if it's safe or
not to linger. If not (eg: after a connect()), then the setsockopt()
call is automatically performed before a close().
The flag automatically turns to safe when receiving a read0.
conn_xprt_ready() reports if the transport layer is ready.
conn_ctrl_ready() reports if the control layer is ready.
The stream interface uses si_conn_ready() to report that the
underlying connection is ready. This will be used for connection
reuse in keep-alive mode.
We used to have two very similar functions for sending a PROXY protocol
line header. The reason is that the default one relies on the stream
interface to retrieve the other end's address, while the "local" one
performs a local address lookup and sends that instead (used by health
checks).
Now that the send_proxy_ofs is stored in the connection and not the
stream interface, we can make the local_send_proxy rely on it and
support partial sends. This also simplifies the code by removing the
local_send_proxy function, making health checks use send_proxy_ofs,
resulting in the removal of the CO_FL_LOCAL_SPROXY flag, and the
associated test in the connection handler. The other flag,
CO_FL_SI_SEND_PROXY was renamed without the "SI" part so that it
is clear that it is not dedicated anymore to a usage with a stream
interface.
Till now the send_proxy_ofs field remained in the stream interface,
but since the dynamic allocation of the connection, it makes a lot
of sense to move that into the connection instead of the stream
interface, since it will not be statically allocated for each
session.
Also, it turns out that moving it to the connection fils an alignment
hole on 64 bit architectures so it does not consume more memory, and
removing it from the stream interface was an opportunity to correctly
reorder fields and reduce the stream interface's size from 160 to 144
bytes (-10%). This is 32 bytes saved per session.
We don't want to assign the control nor transport layers anymore
at the same time as the data layer, because it prevents one from
keeping existing settings when reattaching a connection to an
existing stream interface.
Let's have conn_attach() replace conn_assign() for this purpose.
Thus, conn_prepare() + conn_attach() do exactly the same as the
previous conn_assign().
Now that we can assign conn->xprt regardless of the initialization state,
we can reintroduce conn_prepare() to set only the protocol, the transport
layer and initialize the transport layer's state.
Currently the control and transport layers of a connection are supposed
to be initialized when their respective pointers are not NULL. This will
not work anymore when we plan to reuse connections, because there is an
asymmetry between the accept() side and the connect() side :
- on accept() side, the fd is set first, then the ctrl layer then the
transport layer ; upon error, they must be undone in the reverse order,
then the FD must be closed. The FD must not be deleted if the control
layer was not yet initialized ;
- on the connect() side, the fd is set last and there is no reliable way
to know if it has been initialized or not. In practice it's initialized
to -1 first but this is hackish and supposes that local FDs only will
be used forever. Also, there are even less solutions for keeping trace
of the transport layer's state.
Also it is possible to support delayed close() when something (eg: logs)
tracks some information requiring the transport and/or control layers,
making it even more difficult to clean them.
So the proposed solution is to add two flags to the connection :
- CO_FL_CTRL_READY is set when the control layer is initialized (fd_insert)
and cleared after it's released (fd_delete).
- CO_FL_XPRT_READY is set when the control layer is initialized (xprt->init)
and cleared after it's released (xprt->close).
The functions have been adapted to rely on this and not on the pointers
anymore. conn_xprt_close() was unused and dangerous : it did not close
the control layer (eg: the socket itself) but still marks the transport
layer as closed, preventing any future call to conn_full_close() from
finishing the job.
The problem comes from conn_full_close() in fact. It needs to close the
xprt and ctrl layers independantly. After that we're still having an issue :
we don't know based on ->ctrl alone whether the fd was registered or not.
For this we use the two new flags CO_FL_XPRT_READY and CO_FL_CTRL_READY. We
now rely on this and not on conn->xprt nor conn->ctrl anymore to decide what
remains to be done on the connection.
In order not to miss some flag assignments, we introduce conn_ctrl_init()
to initialize the control layer, register the fd using fd_insert() and set
the flag, and conn_ctrl_close() which unregisters the fd and removes the
flag, but only if the transport layer was closed.
Similarly, at the transport layer, conn_xprt_init() calls ->init and sets
the flag, while conn_xprt_close() checks the flag, calls ->close and clears
the flag, regardless xprt_ctx or xprt_st. This also ensures that the ->init
and the ->close functions are called only once each and in the correct order.
Note that conn_xprt_close() does nothing if the transport layer is still
tracked.
conn_full_close() now simply calls conn_xprt_close() then conn_full_close()
in turn, which do nothing if CO_FL_XPRT_TRACKED is set.
In order to handle the error path, we also provide conn_force_close() which
ignores CO_FL_XPRT_TRACKED and closes the transport and the control layers
in turns. All relevant instances of fd_delete() have been replaced with
conn_force_close(). Now we always know what state the connection is in and
we can expect to split its initialization.
conn_new() will be a more convenient way of allocating and initializing
a connection. It calls pool_alloc2() and conn_init() upon success.
conn_free() is just a pool_free2() but is provided for symmetry with
conn_new().
Everywhere conn_prepare() is used, the call to conn_init() has already
been done. We can now safely replace all instances of conn_prepare()
with conn_assign() which does not reset the transport layer, and remove
conn_prepare().
This function will ease the initialization of new connections as well
as their reuse. It initializes the obj_type and a few fields so that
the connection is fresh again. It leaves the addresses and target
untouched so it is suitable for use across connection retries.
stream_int_chk_rcv_conn() did not clear connection flags before updating them. It
is unsure whether this could have caused the stalled transfers that have been
reported since dev15.
In order to avoid such further issues, we now use a simple inline function to do
all the job.
When the PROXY protocol header is expected and fails, leading to an
abort of the incoming connection, we now emit a log message. If option
dontlognull is set and it was just a port probe, then nothing is logged.
Since the introduction of SSL, it became quite annoying not to get any useful
info in logs about handshake failures. Let's improve reporting for embryonic
sessions by checking a per-connection error code and reporting it into the logs
if an error happens before the session is completely instanciated.
The "dontlognull" option is supported in that if a connection does not talk
before being aborted, nothing will be emitted.
At the moment, only timeouts are considered for SSL and the PROXY protocol,
but next patches will handle more errors.
Commit 0ffde2cc in 1.5-dev13 tried to always disable polling on file
descriptors when errors were encountered. Unfortunately it did not
always succeed in doing so because it relied on detecting polling
changes to disable it. Let's use a dedicated conn_stop_polling()
function that is inconditionally called upon error instead.
This managed to stop a busy loop observed when a health check makes
use of the send-proxy protocol and fails before the connection can
be established.
Several places got the connection close sequence wrong because it
was not obvious. In practice we always need the same sequence when
aborting, so let's have a common function for this.
Instead of storing a couple of (int, ptr) in the struct connection
and the struct session, we use a different method : we only store a
pointer to an integer which is stored inside the target object and
which contains a unique type identifier. That way, the pointer allows
us to retrieve the object type (by dereferencing it) and the object's
address (by computing the displacement in the target structure). The
NULL pointer always corresponds to OBJ_TYPE_NONE.
This reduces the size of the connection and session structs. It also
simplifies target assignment and compare.
In order to improve the generated code, we try to put the obj_type
element at the beginning of all the structs (listener, server, proxy,
si_applet), so that the original and target pointers are always equal.
A lot of code was touched by massive replaces, but the changes are not
that important.
Before connections were introduced, it was possible to connect an
external task to a stream interface. However it was left as an
exercise for the brave implementer to find how that ought to be
done.
The feature was broken since the introduction of connections and
was never fixed since due to lack of users. Better remove this dead
code now.
This is the first step of a series of changes aiming at making the
polling totally event-driven. This first change consists in only
remembering at the connection level whether an FD was enabled or not,
regardless of the fact it was being polled or cached. From now on, an
EAGAIN will always be considered as a change so that the pollers are
able to manage a cache and to flush it based on such events. One of
the noticeable effect is that conn_fd_handler() is called once more
per session (6 instead of 5 min) but other update functions are less
called.
Note that the performance loss caused by this change at the moment is
quite significant, around 2.5%, but the change is needed to have SSL
working correctly in all situations, even when data were read from the
socket and stored in the invisible cache, waiting for some room in the
channel's buffer.
We will need to be able to switch server connections on a session and
to keep idle connections. In order to achieve this, the preliminary
requirement is that the connections can survive the session and be
detached from them.
Right now they're still allocated at exactly the same place, so when
there is a session, there are always 2 connections. We could soon
improve on this by allocating the outgoing connection only during a
connect().
This current patch touches a lot of code and intentionally does not
change any functionnality. Performance tests show no regression (even
a very minor improvement). The doc has not yet been updated.
When we start logging SSL information, we need the SSL struct to be
present even past the conn_xprt_close() call. In order to achieve this,
we should use refcounting on the connection and the transport layer. At
the moment it's not worth using plain refcounting as only the logs require
this, so instead of real refcounting we just use a flag which will be set
by the log subsystem when SSL data need to be logged.
What happens then is that the xprt->close() call is ignored and the
transport layer is closed again during session_free(), after the log
line is emitted.
When calling conn_xprt_close(), we always clear the transport pointer
so that all transport layers leave the connection in the same state after
a close. This will also make it safer and cheaper to call conn_xprt_close()
multiple times if needed.
This callback sends a PROXY protocol line on the outgoing connection,
with the local and remote endpoint information. This is used for local
connections (eg: health checks) where the other end needs to have a
valid address and no connection is relayed.
It was previously in frontend.c but there is no reason for this anymore
considering that all the information involved is in the connection itself
only. Theorically this should be in the socket layer but we don't have
this yet.
We absolutely want to disable FD polling after an error is detected,
otherwise the data layer has to do it and it's far from being obvious
at these layers.
The way we did it was a bit tricky in conn_update_*_polling and
conn_*_polling_changes. However it has almost no impact on performance
and code size both for the fast and slow path.
We'll now be able to remove some flag updates in the stream interface.
The connection flags have progressively been added one after the other
and were not very well organized. Some of them are often used together
and a number of operations are performed on the DATA/SOCK ENA/POL flags.
Thus, they have been reorganized so that flags that work together are
close to each other (allows immediate operands on ARM) and that polling
changes can be detected with fewer operations using a simple shift and
xor. The handshakes are now the last ones so that it will be easier to
add new ones after without risking a collision. All activity-related
flags are also grouped together.
Now conn->data will designate the data layer which is the client for
the transport layer. In practice it's the stream interface and will
soon also be the health checks.
While working on the changes required to make the health checks use the
new connections, it started to become obvious that some naming was not
logical at all in the connections. Specifically, it is not logical to
call the "data layer" the layer which is in charge for all the handshake
and which does not yet provide a data layer once established until a
session has allocated all the required buffers.
In fact, it's more a transport layer, which makes much more sense. The
transport layer offers a medium on which data can transit, and it offers
the functions to move these data when the upper layer requests this. And
it is the upper layer which iterates over the transport layer's functions
to move data which should be called the data layer.
The use case where it's obvious is with embryonic sessions : an incoming
SSL connection is accepted. Only the connection is allocated, not the
buffers nor stream interface, etc... The connection handles the SSL
handshake by itself. Once this handshake is complete, we can't use the
data functions because the buffers and stream interface are not there
yet. Hence we have to first call a specific function to complete the
session initialization, after which we'll be able to use the data
functions. This clearly proves that SSL here is only a transport layer
and that the stream interface constitutes the data layer.
A similar change will be performed to rename app_cb => data, but the
two could not be in the same commit for obvious reasons.
This will be needed to find the stream interface from the connection
once they're detached, but in the more immediate term, we'll need this
for health checks since they don't use a stream interface.
It appears that fd.h includes a number of unneeded files and was
included from standard.h, and as such served as an intermediary
to provide almost everything to everyone.
By removing its useless includes, a long dependency chain broke
but could easily be fixed.
Polling flags were set for data and sock layer, but while this does make
sense for the ENA flag, it does not for the POL flag which translates the
detection of an EAGAIN condition. So now we remove the {DATA,SOCK}_POL*
flags and instead introduce two new layer-independant flags (WANT_RD and
WANT_WR). These flags are only set when an EAGAIN is encountered so that
polling can be enabled.
In order for these flags to have any meaning they are not persistent and
have to be cleared by the connection handler before calling the I/O and
data callbacks. For this reason, changes detection has been slightly
improved. Instead of comparing the WANT_* flags with CURR_*_POL, we only
check if the ENA status changes, or if the polling appears, since we don't
want to detect the useless poll to ena transition. Tests show that this
has eliminated one useless call to __fd_clr().
Finally the conn_set_polling() function which was becoming complex and
required complex operations from the caller was split in two and replaced
its two only callers (conn_update_data_polling and conn_update_sock_polling).
The two functions are now much smaller due to the less complex conditions.
Note that it would be possible to re-merge them and only pass a mask but
this does not appear much interesting.
The PROXY protocol is now decoded in the connection before other
handshakes. This means that it may be extracted from a TCP stream
before SSL is decoded from this stream.
