When a sample fetch is encoded, we use its context to set info about the
fragmentation. But if the sample is not found, the function sample_process()
returns NULL. So we me be sure the sample exists before setting its context.
This patch must be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
This patch implements a new global parameter for the master-worker mode.
When setting the mworker-max-reloads value, a worker receive a SIGTERM
if its number of reloads is greater than this value.
Since previous commit it's not needed anymore to test a task pointer
before calling task_destory() so let's just remove these tests from
the various callers before they become confusing. The function's
arguments were also documented. The same should probably be done
with tasklet_free() which involves a test in roughly half of the
call places.
Commit 3f795f7 ("MEDIUM: tasks: Merge task_delete() and task_free() into
task_destroy().") replaced task_delete() and task_free() with a single
function named task_destroy().
This patch adds a check for struct task* argument in function
task_destroy() to prevent a possible segfault on NULL and also to make
the function safer for use in other cases.
With this patch we add a prefix to stick-table names declared in "peers" sections
concatenating the "peers" section name followed by a '/' character with
the stick-table name. Consequently, "peers" sections have their own
namespace for their stick-tables. Obviously, these stick-table names are not the
ones which should be sent over the network. So these configurations must be
compatible and should make A and B peers communicate with peers protocol:
# haproxy A config, old way stick-table declerations
peers mypeers
peer A ...
peer B ...
backend t1
stick-table type string size 10m store gpc0 peers mypeers
# haproxy B config, new way stick-table declerations
peers mypeers
peer A ...
peer B ...
table t1 type string size store gpc0 10m
This "network" name is stored in ->nid new field of stktable struct. The "local"
stktable-name is still stored in ->id.
This patch adds the support for the "table" line parsing in "peers" sections
to declare stick-table in such sections. This also prevents the user from having
to declare dummy backends sections with a unique stick-table inside.
Even if still supported, this usage will become deprecated.
To do so, the ->table member of proxy struct which is a stktable struct is replaced
by a pointer to a stktable struct allocated at parsing time in src/cfgparse-listen.c
for the dummy stick-table backends and in src/cfgparse.c for "peers" sections.
This has an impact on the code for stick-table sample converters and on the stickiness
rules parsers which first store the name of the dummy before resolving the rules.
This patch replaces proxy_tbl_by_name() calls by stktable_find_by_name() calls
to lookup for stick-tables stored in "stktable_by_name" ebtree at parsing time.
There is only one remaining place where proxy_tbl_by_name() is used: src/hlua.c.
At several places in the code we relied on the fact that ->size member of stick-table
was equal to zero to consider the stick-table was present by not configured,
this do not make sense anymore as ->table member of struct proxyis fow now on a pointer.
These tests are replaced by a test on ->table value itself.
In "peers" section we do not have to temporary store the name of the section the
stick-table are attached to because this name is obviously already known just after
having entered this "peers" section.
About the CLI stick-table I/O handler, the pointer to proxy struct is replaced by
a pointer to a stktable struct.
With this patch we move the code responsible of parsing "stick-table"
lines to implement parse_stick_table() function in src/stick-tabble.c
so that to be able to parse "stick-table" elsewhere than in proxy sections.
We have have also added a conf struct to stktable struct to store the filename
and the line in the file the stick-table has been parsed to help in
diagnosing and displaying any configuration issue.
This implements support for the new API which relies on a call to
setsockopt().
On systems that support it (currently, only Linux >= 4.11), this enables
using TCP fast open when connecting to server.
Please note that you should use the retry-on "conn-failure", "empty-response"
and "response-timeout" keywords, or the request won't be able to be retried
on failure.

The connect() method had 2 arguments, "data", that tells if there's pending
data to be sent, and "delack" that tells if we have to use a delayed ack
inconditionally, or if the backend is configured with tcp-smart-connect.
Turn that into one argument, "flags".
That way it'll be easier to provide more informations to connect() without
adding extra arguments.
SSL_SESSION_get0_id_context is introduced in LibreSSL-2.7.0
async operations are not supported by LibreSSL
early data is not supported by LibreSSL
packet_length is removed from SSL struct in LibreSSL
When running in HTX mode, if we sent the request, but failed to get the
answer, either because the server just closed its socket, we hit a server
timeout, or we get a 404, 408, 425, 500, 501, 502, 503 or 504 error,
attempt to retry the request, exactly as if we just failed to connect to
the server.
To do so, add a new backend keyword, "retry-on".
It accepts a list of keywords, which can be "none" (never retry),
"conn-failure" (we failed to connect, or to do the SSL handshake),
"empty-response" (the server closed the connection without answering),
"response-timeout" (we timed out while waiting for the server response),
or "404", "408", "425", "500", "501", "502", "503" and "504".
The default is "conn-failure".
When for some reason the session is not the owner of the connection anymore,
make sure we remove CO_FL_SESS_IDLE, even if we're about to call
conn->mux->destroy(), as the destroy may not destroy the connection
immediately if it's still in use.
This should be backported to 1.9.
u
In channel_erase(), don't forget to set output to 0, otherwise the
channel won't seem empty, when it really is, and that could lead to
stream never closing properly.
This should be backported to 1.9.
Port range uses a ring buffer, and unfortunately, when making haproxy
multithreaded, it's been overlooked, and the ring buffer is not thread-safe.
When specifying a source range, 2 or more threads could pick the same
port, and of course only one of them could use the port, the others would
always fail the connection.
To fix this, make it a lock-free ring buffer. This is easier than usual
because we know the ring buffer can never be full.
This should be backported to 1.8 and 1.9.
This patch implements the sampling and load-balancing of log servers configured
with "sample" new keyword implemented by this commit:
'MINOR: log: Add "sample" new keyword to "log" lines'.
As the list of ranges used to sample the log to balance is ordered, we only
have to maintain ->curr_idx member of smp_info struct which is the index of
the sample and check if it belongs or not to the current range to decide if we
must send it to the log server or not.
This simplifies the API and hide the details in the sample. This way, only
string and binary are aware of these info, because other types cannot be
partially encoded.
This patch may be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
Fragmented arg will do fetch at every encode time, each fetch may get
different result if SMP_F_MAY_CHANGE, for example res.payload, but
the length already encoded in first fragment of the frame, that will
cause SPOA decode failed and waste resources.
This patch must be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
During 1.9 development (and even a bit after) we've started to face a
significant number of situations where streams were abusively spinning
due to an uncaught error flag or complex conditions that couldn't be
correctly identified. Sometimes streams wake appctx up and conversely
as well. More importantly when this happens the only fix is to restart.
This patch adds a new function to report a serious error, some relevant
info and to crash the process using abort() so that a core dump is
available. The purpose will be for this function to be called in various
situations where the process is unfixable. It will help detect these
issues much earlier during development and may even help fixing test
platforms which are able to automatically restart when such a condition
happens, though this is not the primary purpose.
This patch only provides the function and doesn't use it yet.
We have various functions like conn_get_ctrl_name() to retrieve
some information reported in "show sess" for debugging, which
assume that the connection is valid. This is really not convenient
in code aimed at debugging and is error-prone. Let's add a validity
test first.
Instead of having to manually turn task profiling on/off in the
configuration, by default it will work in "auto" mode, which
automatically turns on on any thread experiencing sustained loop
latencies over one millisecond averaged over the last 1024 samples.
This may happen with configs using lots of regex (thing map_reg for
example, which is the lazy way to convert Apache's rewrite rules but
must not be abused), and such high latencies affect all the process
and the problem is most often intermittent (e.g. hitting a map which
is only used for certain host names).
Thus now by default, with profiling set to "auto", it remains off all
the time until something bad happens. This also helps better focus on
the issues when looking at the logs as well as in "show sess" output.
It automatically turns off when the average loop latency over the last
1024 calls goes below 990 microseconds (which typically takes a while
when in idle).
This patch could be backported to stable versions after a bit more
exposure, as it definitely improves observability and the ability to
quickly spot the culprit. In this case, previous patch ("MINOR:
activity: make the profiling status per thread and not global") must
also be taken.
In order to later support automatic profiling turn on/off, we need to
have it per-thread. We're keeping the global option to know whether to
turn it or on off, but the profiling status is now set per thread. We're
updating the status in activity_count_runtime() which is called before
entering poll(). The reason is that we'll extend this with run time
measurement when deciding to automatically turn it on or off.
Very similarly to previous commit doing the same for streams, we now
measure and report an appctx's call rate. This will help catch applets
which do not consume all their data and/or which do not properly report
that they're waiting for something else. Some of them like peers might
theorically be able to exhibit some occasional peeks when teaching a
full table to a nearby peer (e.g. the new replacement process), but
nothing close to what a bogus service can do so there is no risk of
confusion.
Since the commit 1d2b586cd ("MAJOR: htx: Enable the HTX mode by default for all
proxies"), the HTX is enabled by default for all proxies, HTTP and TCP, but also
CLI and HEALTH proxies. But when the best mux is retrieved, only HTTP and TCP
modes are checked. If the TCP mode is not explicitly set, it is considered as an
HTTP proxy. It is an hidden bug introduced when the option "http-use-htx" was
added. It has no effect until the commit 1d2b586cd. But now, when a stats socket
is created for the master process, the mux h1 is installed on all incoming
connections to the CLI proxy, leading to segfaults because HTX operations are
performed on raw buffers.
So to fix the buf, when a mux is installed, all proxies are considered as TCP
proxies, except HTTP ones. This way, CLI and HEALTH proxies will be handled as
TCP proxies.
This patch must be backported to 1.9 although it has no effect. It is safer to
not keep hidden bugs.
The 'do-resolve' action is an http-request or tcp-request content action
which allows to run DNS resolution at run time in HAProxy.
The name to be resolved can be picked up in the request sent by the
client and the result of the resolution is stored in a variable.
The time the resolution is being performed, the request is on pause.
If the resolution can't provide a suitable result, then the variable
will be empty. It's up to the admin to take decisions based on this
statement (return 503 to prevent loops).
Read carefully the documentation concerning this feature, to ensure your
setup is secure and safe to be used in production.
This patch creates a global counter to track various errors reported by
the action 'do-resolve'.
As by default we add all keepalive connections to the idle pool, if we run
into a pathological case, where all client don't do keepalive, but the server
does, and haproxy is configured to only reuse "safe" connections, we will
soon find ourself having lots of idling, unusable for new sessions, connections,
while we won't have any file descriptors available to create new connections.
To fix this, add 2 new global settings, "pool_low_ratio" and "pool_high_ratio".
pool-low-fd-ratio is the % of fds we're allowed to use (against the maximum
number of fds available to haproxy) before we stop adding connections to the
idle pool, and destroy them instead. The default is 20. pool-high-fd-ratio is
the % of fds we're allowed to use (against the maximum number of fds available
to haproxy) before we start killing idling connection in the event we have to
create a new outgoing connection, and no reuse is possible. The default is 25.
For most of the xprt methods, provide a xprt_ctx. This will be useful later
when we'll want to be able to stack xprts.
The init() method now has to create and provide the said xprt_ctx if needed.
task_delete() was never used without calling task_free() just after, and
task_free() was only used on error pathes to destroy a just-created task,
so merge them into task_destroy(), that will remove the task from the
wait queue, and make sure the task is either destroyed immediately if it's
not in the run queue, or destroyed when it's supposed to run.
The wakeup condition in task_wakeup() is redundant as it is already
validated by the CAS. Better move the __task_wakeup() call there, it
also has the merit of being easier to audit this way. This also reduces
the code size by around 1.8 kB :
$ size haproxy-?
text data bss dec hex filename
2153806 100208 1307676 3561690 3658da haproxy-1

Commit 0c7a4b6 ("MINOR: tasks: Don't set the TASK_RUNNING flag when
adding in the tasklet list.") revealed a hole in the way tasks may
be freed : they could be removed while in the run queue when the
TASK_QUEUED flag was present but not the TASK_RUNNING one. But it
seems the issue was emphasized by commit cde7902 ("MEDIUM: tasks:
improve fairness between the local and global queues") though the
code it replaces was already affected given how late the TASK_RUNNING
flag was set after removal from the global queue.
At the moment the task is picked from the global run queue, if it
is the last one, the global run queue lock is dropped, and then
the TASK_RUNNING flag was added. In the mean time another thread
might have performed a task_free(), and immediately after, the
TASK_RUNNING flag was re-added to the task, which was then added
to the tasklet list. The unprotected window was extremely faint
but does definitely exist and inconsistent task lists have been
observed a few times during very intensive tests over the last few
days. From this point various options are possible, the task might
have been re-allocated while running, and assigned state 0 and/or
state QUEUED while it was still running, resulting in the tast not
being put back into the tree.
This commit simply makes sure that tests on TASK_RUNNING before removing
the task also cover TASK_QUEUED.
It must be backported to 1.9 along with the previous ones touching
that area.
Now that we have the warranty that a task won't be added in the runqueue
while the TASK_QUEUED or the TASK_RUNNING flag is set, don't bother trying
to lock the task by setting leaf_p to 0x1 while inserting it in the runqueue
or having it in the tasklet_list, as nobody else will attempt to add it.
Make sure we set TASK_QUEUED in every case before adding the task to the
run queue. task_wakeup() now checks if either TASK_QUEUED or TASK_RUNNING
is set, and if neither is set, add TASK_QUEUED and effectively add the task
to the runqueue.
No longer use __task_wakeup() anywhere except in task_wakeup(), always use
task_wakeup() instead.
With the old code, process_runnable_task() may re-add a task in the runqueue
without setting the TASK_QUEUED flag, and there were race conditions that could
lead to a task having the TASK_QUEUED flag but not in the runqueue, thus
being unschedulable.
This should be backported to 1.9.
As for smp_prefetch_http(), there is now a way to successfully perform a
prefetch in HTX, even if the message forwarding already begun. It is used for
the sample fetches "req.proto_http" and "method".
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
All HTTP samples are buggy because the channel tested in the prefetch functions
(HTX and legacy HTTP) is chosen depending on the sample direction and not the
keyword really used. It means the request channel is used if the sample is
called during the request analysis and the response channel is used if it is
called during the response analysis, regardless the sample really called. For
instance, if you use the sample "req.ver" in an http-response rule, the response
channel will be prefeched because it is called during the response analysis,
while the request channel should have been used instead. So some assumptions on
the validity of the sample may be made on the wrong channel. It is the first
bug.
Then the same error is done in some samples themselves. So fetches are performed
on the wrong channel. For instance, the header extraction (req.fhdr, res.fhdr,
req.hdr, res.hdr...). If the sample "req.hdr" is used in an http-response rule,
then the matching is done on the response headers and not the request ones. It
is the second bug.
Finally, the last one but not the least, in some samples, the right channel is
used. But because the prefetch was done on the wrong one, this channel may be in
a undefined state. For instance, using the sample "req.ver" in an http-response
rule leads to a matching on a posibility released buffer.
To fix all these bugs, the right channel is now chosen in sample fetches, before
the prefetch. If the same function is used to fetch requests and responses
elements, then the keyword is used to choose the right one. This channel is then
used by the functions smp_prefetch_htx() and smp_prefetch_http(). Of course, it
is also used by the samples themselves to extract information.
This patch must be backported to all supported versions. For version 1.8 and
priors, it must be totally refactored. First because there is no HTX into these
versions. Then the buffers API has changed in HAProxy 1.9. The files
http_fetch.{ch} doesn't exist on old versions.
Maksim Kupriianov reported very strange crashes in fwrr_update_position()
which didn't make sense because of an apparent divide overflow except that
the value was not null in the core.
It happens that while the locking is correct in all the functions' call
graph, the uppermost one (fwrr_get_next_server()) incorrectly expected
that its target server was already locked when called. This stupid
assumption causd the server lock not to be held when calling the other
ones, explaining how it was possible to change the server's eweight by
calling srv_lb_commit_status() under the server lock yet collide with
its unprotected usage.
This commit makes sure that fwrr_get_server_from_group() retrieves a
locked server and that fwrr_get_next_server() is responsible for
unlocking the server before returning it. There is one subtlety in
this function which is that it builds a list of avoided servers that
were full while scanning the tree, and all of them are queued in a
full state so they must be unlocked upon return.
Many thanks to Maksim for providing detailed info allowing to narrow
down this bug.
This fix must be backported to 1.9. In 1.8 the lock seems much wider
and changes to the server's state are performed under the rendez-vous
point so this it doesn't seem possible that it happens there.
Older compilers don't like to see "inline" placed after the type in a
function declaration, it must be "static inline <type>" only. This
patch touches various areas. The warnings were seen with gcc-3.4.
This one hasn't been used anymore since the scheduler changes after 1.8
but it kept being exported and maintained up to date while it's always
reset when scanning the trees. Let's stop exporting it and updating it.
This function will handle mux upgrades, for frontend connections only. It will
retrieve the best mux in the same way than conn_install_mux_fe except that the
mode and optionnally the proto are forced.
The new multiplexer is initialized using a new context and a specific input
buffer. Then, the old one is destroyed. If an error occurred, everything is
rolled back.
It is mandatory to handle mux upgrades, because during a mux upgrade, the
connection will be reassigned to another multiplexer. So when the old one is
destroyed, it does not own the connection anymore. Or in other words, conn->ctx
does not point to the old mux's context when its destroy() callback is
called. So we now rely on the multiplexer context do destroy it instead of the
connection.
In addition, h1_release() and h2_release() have also been updated in the same
way.
The mux's callback init() now take a pointer to a buffer as extra argument. It
must be used by the multiplexer as its input buffer. This buffer is always NULL
when a multiplexer is initialized with a fresh connection. But if a mux upgrade
is performed, it may be filled with existing data. Note that, for now, mux
upgrades are not supported. But this commit is mandatory to do so.
Because the option http-tunnel is now ignored in HTX, there is no longer any
need to adjust the transaction mode in HTX analyzers. A channel can still be
switch to the tunnel mode for legitimate cases (HTTP CONNECT or switching
protocols). So the function htx_adjust_conn_mode() is now useless.
This patch must be backported to 1.9. It is not strictly speaking required but
it will ease futur backports.
This patch implements the external binary support in the master worker.
To configure an external process, you need to use the program section,
for example:
program dataplane-api
command ./dataplane_api
Those processes are launched at the same time as the workers.
During a reload of HAProxy, those processes are dealing with the same
sequence as a worker:
- the master is re-executed
- the master sends a USR1 signal to the program
- the master launches a new instance of the program
During a stop, or restart, a SIGTERM is sent to the program.
The children variable is still used in haproxy, it is not required
anymore since we have the information about the current workers in the
mworker_proc linked list.
The oldpids array is also replaced by this linked list when we
generated the arguments for the master reexec.
I found on an (old) AIX 5.1 machine that stdint.h didn't exist while
inttypes.h which is expected to include it does exist and provides the
desired functionalities.
As explained here, stdint being just a subset of inttypes for use in
freestanding environments, it's probably always OK to switch to inttypes
instead:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696799/basedefs/stdint.h.html
Also it's even clearer here in the autoconf doc :
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.61/html_node/Header-Portability.html
"The C99 standard says that inttypes.h includes stdint.h, so there's
no need to include stdint.h separately in a standard environment.
Some implementations have inttypes.h but not stdint.h (e.g., Solaris
7), but we don't know of any implementation that has stdint.h but not
inttypes.h"
Previous commit 3ea351368 ("BUG/MEDIUM: h2: Remove the tasklet from the
task list if unsubscribing.") uncovered an issue which needs to be
addressed in the scheduler's API. The function task_remove_from_task_list()
was initially designed to remove a task from the running tasklet list from
within the scheduler, and had to be used in h2 to abort pending I/O events.
However this function was not designed to be idempotent, occasionally
causing a double removal from the tasklet list, with the second doing
nothing but affecting the apparent tasks count and making haproxy use
100% CPU on some tests consisting in stopping the client during some
transfers. The h2_unsubscribe() function can sometimes be called upon
stream exit after an error where the tasklet was possibly already
removed, so it.
This patch does 2 things :
- it renames task_remove_from_task_list() to
__task_remove_from_tasklet_list() to discourage users from calling
it. Also note the fix in the naming since it's a tasklet list and
not a task list. This function is still uesd from the scheduler.
- it adds a new, idempotent, task_remove_from_tasklet_list() function
which does nothing if the task is already not in the tasklet list.
This patch will need to be backported where the commit above is backported.
It's never easy to guess what services are built in. We currently have
the prometheus exporter in contrib/ which is the only extension for now.
Let's enumerate all available ones just like we do for filterr and pollers.
The status codes definition (STAT_STATUS_*) and their string representation
stat_status_codes) have been moved in stats files. There is no reason to keep
them in proto_http files.
In task_unlink_rq, to decide if we should logk the global runqueue lock,
use the TASK_GLOBAL flag instead of relying on t->thread_mask being tid_bit,
as it could be so while still being in the global runqueue if another thread
woke that task for us.
This should be backported to 1.9.
In this function we end up with successive locked operations then a
store barrier, and in addition the compiler has to emit less efficient
code due to a longer jump. There's no need for absolutely updating the
tasks_run_queue counter before clearing the task's leaf pointer, so
let's swap the two operations and benefit from a single barrier as much
as possible. This code is on the hot path and shows about half a percent
of improvement with 8 threads.
By using LIST_DEL_INIT() instead of LIST_DEL()+LIST_INIT() we manage
to bump the peak connection rate by no less than 3% on 8 threads.
The perf top profile shows much less contention in this area which
suffered from the second reload.
We move the code responsible of parsing protocol buffers messages
inside gRPC messages from sample.c to include/proto/protocol_buffers.h
so that to reuse it to cascade "ungrpc" converter.
For now on, "ungrpc" may take a second optional argument to provide
the protocol buffers types used to encode the field value to be extracted.
When absent the field value is extracted as a binary sample which may then
followed by others converters like "hex" which takes binary as input sample.
When this second argument is a type which does not match the one found by "ungrpc",
this field is considered as not found even if present.
With this patch we also remove the useless "varint" and "svarint" converters.
Update the documentation about "ungrpc" converters.
Parsing protocol buffer fields always consists in skip the field
if the field is not found or store the field value if found.
So, with this patch we factorize a little bit the code for "ungrpc" converter.
Historically the default frontend's maxconn used to be quite low (2000),
which was sufficient two decades ago but often proved to be a problem
when users had purposely set the global maxconn value but forgot to set
the frontend's.
There is no point in keeping this arbitrary limit for frontends : when
the global maxconn is lower, it's already too high and when the global
maxconn is much higher, it becomes a limiting factor which causes trouble
in production.
This commit allows the value to be set to zero, which becomes the new
default value, to mean it's not directly limited, or in fact it's set
to the global maxconn. Since this operation used to be performed before
computing a possibly automatic global maxconn based on memory limits,
the calculation of the maxconn value and its propagation to the backends'
fullconn has now moved to a dedicated function, proxy_adjust_all_maxconn(),
which is called once the global maxconn is stabilized.
This comes with two benefits :
1) a configuration missing "maxconn" in the defaults section will not
limit itself to a magically hardcoded value but will scale up to the
global maxconn ;
2) when the global maxconn is not set and memory limits are used instead,
the frontends' maxconn automatically adapts, and the backends' fullconn
as well.
In an attempt to try to provide automatic maxconn settings, we need to
decorrelate a listner's backlog and maxconn so that these values can be
independent. This introduces a listener_backlog() function which retrieves
the backlog value from the listener's backlog, the frontend's, the
listener's maxconn, the frontend's or falls back to 1024. This
corresponds to what was done in cfgparse.c to force a value there except
the last fallback which was not set since the frontend's maxconn is always
known.
Since LIST_DEL_LOCKED() and LIST_POP_LOCKED() now automatically reinitialize
the removed element, there's no need for keeping this LIST_INIT() call in the
idle connection code.
There is one point where we can migrate a connection to another thread
without taking risk, it's when we accept it : the new FD is not yet in
the fd cache and no task was created yet. It's still possible to assign
it a different thread than the one which accepted the connection. The
only requirement for this is to have one accept queue per thread and
their respective processing tasks that have to be woken up each time
an entry is added to the queue.
This is a multiple-producer, single-consumer model. Entries are added
at the queue's tail and the processing task is woken up. The consumer
picks entries at the head and processes them in order. The accept queue
contains the fd, the source address, and the listener. Each entry of
the accept queue was rounded up to 64 bytes (one cache line) to avoid
cache aliasing because tests have shown that otherwise performance
suffers a lot (5%). A test has shown that it's important to have at
least 256 entries for the rings, as at 128 it's still possible to fill
them often at high loads on small thread counts.
The processing task does almost nothing except calling the listener's
accept() function and updating the global session and SSL rate counters
just like listener_accept() does on synchronous calls.
At this point the accept queue is implemented but not used.
In order to quickly pick a thread ID when accepting a connection, we'll
need to know certain pre-computed values derived from the thread mask,
which are counts of bits per position multiples of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and
32. In practice it is sufficient to compute only the 4 first ones and
store them in the bind_conf. We update the count every time the
bind_thread value is adjusted.
The fields in the bind_conf struct have been moved around a little bit
to make it easier to group all thread bit values into the same cache
line.
The function used to return a thread number is bind_map_thread_id(),
and it maps a number between 0 and 31/63 to a thread ID between 0 and
31/63, starting from the left.
Instead of having one task per thread and per server that does clean the
idling connections, have only one global task for every servers.
That tasks parses all the servers that currently have idling connections,
and remove half of them, to put them in a per-thread list of connections
to kill. For each thread that does have connections to kill, wake a task
to do so, so that the cleaning will be done in the context of said thread.
Use the locked macros when manipulating idle_orphan_conns, so that other
threads can remove elements from it.
It will be useful later to avoid having a task per server and per thread to
cleanup the orphan list.
This patch implements "req.ungrpc" sample fetch method to decode and
parse a gRPC request. It takes only one argument: a protocol buffers
field number to identify the protocol buffers message number to be looked up.
This argument is a sort of path in dotted notation to the terminal field number
to be retrieved.
ex:
req.ungrpc(1.2.3.4)
This sample fetch catch the data in raw mode, without interpreting them.
Some protocol buffers specific converters may be used to convert the data
to the correct type.
It is the HTX version of co_skip(). Internally, It uses the function htx_drain().
It will be used by other commits to fix bugs, so it must be backported to 1.9.
in co_skip(), the flag CF_WRITE_PARTIAL is set on the channel. The flag
CF_WROTE_DATA must also be set to notify the channel some data were sent.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
Calculate if the fd or task should be locked once, before locking, and
reuse the calculation when determing when to unlock.
Fixes a race condition added in 87d54a9a for fds, and b20aa9ee for tasks,
released in 1.9-dev4. When one thread modifies thread_mask to be a single
thread for a task or fd while a second thread has locked or is waiting on a
lock for that task or fd, the second thread will not unlock it. For FDs,
this is observable when a listener is polled by multiple threads, and is
closed while those threads have events pending. For tasks, this seems
possible, where task_set_affinity is called, but I did not observe it.
This must be backported to 1.9.
This is a naive implementation of closefrom() which closes all FDs
starting from the one passed in argument. closefrom() is not provided
on all operating systems, and other versions will follow.
Add a per-thread counter of idling connections, and use it to determine
how many connections we should kill after the timeout, instead of using
the global counter, or we're likely to just kill most of the connections.
This should be backported to 1.9.
Use atomic operations when dealing with srv->curr_idle_conns, as it's shared
between threads, otherwise we could get inconsistencies.
This should be backported to 1.9.
Initialize ->srv peer field for all the peers, the local peer included.
Indeed, a haproxy process needs to connect to the local peer of a remote
process. Furthermore, when a "peer" or "server" line is parsed by parse_server()
the address must be copied to ->addr field of the peer object only if this address
has been also parsed by parse_server(). This is not the case if this address belongs
to the local peer and is provided on a "server" line.
After having parsed the "peer" or "server" lines of a peer
sections, the ->srv part of all the peer must be initialized for SSL, if
enabled. Same thing for the binding part.
Revert 1417f0b commit which is no more required.
No backport is needed, this is purely 2.0.
Commit 1055e687a ("MINOR: peers: Make outgoing connection to SSL/TLS
peers work.") introduced an "srv" field in the peers, which points to
the equivalent server to hold SSL settings. This one is not set when
the peer is local so we must always test it before testing p->srv->use_ssl
otherwise haproxy dies during reloads.
No backport is needed, this is purely 2.0.
This also depends on the nbthread count, so it must only be performed after
parsing the whole config file. As a side effect, this removes some code
duplication between servers and server-templates.
This must be backported to 1.9.
With variable connection limits, it's not possible to accurately determine
whether the mux is still in use by comparing usage and max to be equal due
to the fact that one determines the capacity and the other one takes care
of the context. This can cause some connections to be dropped before they
reach their stream ID limit.
It seems it could also cause some connections to be terminated with
streams still alive if the limit was reduced to match the newly computed
avail_streams() value, though this cannot yet happen with existing muxes.
Instead let's switch to usage reports and simply check whether connections
are both unused and available before adding them to the idle list.
This should be backported to 1.9.
The new flag SI_FL_KILL_CONN is now set by the rare actions which
deliberately want the whole connection (and not just the stream) to be
killed. This is only used for "tcp-request content reject",
"tcp-response content reject", "tcp-response content close" and
"http-request reject". The purpose is to desambiguate the close from
a regular shutdown. This will be used by the next patches.
If we're adding a connection to the server orphan idle list, don't forget
to remove the CO_FL_SESS_IDLE flag, or we will assume later it's still
attached to a session.
This should be backported to 1.9.
There's a very small but existing uncertainty window when waking another
thread up where it is possible for task_wakeup() not to wake the other
task up because it's still running while this once is in the process of
finishing and loses its TASK_RUNNING flag. In this case the wakeup will
be missed.
The problem is that we have a single flag to store 3 states, since the
transition from running to sleeping isn't atomic. Thus we need to have
another flag to cover this part. This patch introduces TASK_QUEUED to
mention that the task is already in the run queue, running or not. This
bit will be removed while TASK_RUNNING is kept once dequeued, and will
be used when removing TASK_RUNNING to check if the task has been requeued.
It might be possible to slightly improve this but the occurrence rate
is quite low and we don't really need to complexify the scheduler to
optimize for a rare case.
The impact with the current code is very low since we have few inter-
thread wakeups. Most of them are caused by checks killing sessions.
This must be backported to 1.9.
Before the first send() attempt, we should be in SI_ST_CON, not
SI_ST_EST, since we have not yet attempted to send and we are
allowed to retry. This is particularly important with complex
outgoing muxes which can fail during the first send attempt (e.g.
failed stream ID allocation).
It only requires that sess_update_st_con_tcp() knows about this
possibility, as we must not forcefully close a reused connection
when facing an error in this case, this will be handled later.
This may be backported to 1.9 with care after some observation period.
Make "bind" keywork be supported in "peers" sections.
All "bind" settings are supported on this line.
Add "default-bind" option to parse the binding options excepted the bind address.
Do not parse anymore the bind address for local peers on "server" lines.
Do not use anymore list_for_each_entry() to set the "peers" section
listener parameters because there is only one listener by "peers" section.
May be backported to 1.5 and newer.
This patch adds pointer to a struct server to peer structure which
is initialized after having parsed a remote "peer" line.
After having parsed all peers section we run ->prepare_srv to initialize
all SSL/TLS stuff of remote perr (or server).
Remaining thing to do to completely support peer protocol over SSL/TLS:
make "bind" keyword be supported in "peers" sections to make SSL/TLS
incoming connections to local peers work.
May be backported to 1.5 and newer.
When using the peers feature a race condition could prevent
a connection from being properly counted. When this connection
exits it is being "uncounted" nonetheless, leading to a possible
underflow (-1) of the conn_curr stick table entry in the following
scenario :
- Connect to peer A (A=1, B=0)
- Peer A sends 1 to B (A=1, B=1)
- Kill connection to A (A=0, B=1)
- Connect to peer B (A=0, B=2)
- Peer A sends 0 to B (A=0, B=0)
- Peer B sends 0/2 to A (A=?, B=0)
- Kill connection to B (A=?, B=-1)
- Peer B sends -1 to A (A=-1, B=-1)
This fix may be backported to all supported branches.
Openssl switched from aes128 to aes256 since may 2016 to compute
tls ticket secrets used by default. But Haproxy still handled only
128 bits keys for both tls key file and CLI.
This patch permit the user to set aes256 keys throught CLI or
the key file (80 bytes encoded in base64) in the same way that
aes128 keys were handled (48 bytes encoded in base64):
- first 16 bytes for the key name
- next 16/32 bytes for aes 128/256 key bits key
- last 16/32 bytes for hmac 128/256 bits
Both sizes are now supported (but keys from same file must be
of the same size and can but updated via CLI only using a key of
the same size).
Note: This feature need the fix "dec func ignores padding for output
size checking."
When mux->init() fails, session_free() will call it again to unregister
it while it was already done, resulting in null derefs or use-after-free.
This typically happens on out-of-memory conditions during H1 or H2 connection
or stream allocation.
This fix must be backported to 1.9.
The function channel_htx_truncate() can now be used on HTX buffer to truncate
all incoming data, keeping outgoing one intact. This function relies on the
function channel_htx_erase() and htx_truncate().
This patch may be backported to 1.9. If so, the patch "MINOR: channel/htx: Add
the HTX version of channel_truncate()" must also be backported.
HTX versions for functions to test the free space in input against the reserve
have been added. Now, on HTX streams, following functions can be used:
* channel_htx_may_recv
* channel_htx_recv_limit
* channel_htx_recv_max
* channel_htx_full
This patch must be backported in 1.9 because it will be used by a futher patch
to fix a bug.
This function must be called when new incoming data are pushed in the channel's
buffer. It updates the channel state and take care of the fast forwarding by
consuming right amount of data and decrementing "->to_forward" accordingly when
necessary. In fact, this patch just moves a part of ci_putblk in a dedicated
function.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
Instead of keeping track of the number of connections we're responsible for,
keep track of the number of connections we're responsible for that we are
currently considering idling (ie that we are not using, they may be in use
by other sessions), that way we can actually reuse connections when we have
more connections than the max configured.
When a session adds a connection to its connection list, we used to remove
connections for an another server if there were not enough room for our
server. This can't work, because those lists are now the list of connections
we're responsible for, not just the idle connections.
To fix this, allow for an unlimited number of servers, instead of using
an array, we're now using a linked list.
In si_release_endpoint(), if the end point is a connection, because we don't
know which mux to use it, make sure we close the connection before freeing it,
or else, we'd have a fd left for polling, which would point to a now free'd
connection.
This should be backported to 1.9.
As long-time changes have accumulated over time, the exported functions
of the stream-interface were almost all prefixed "si_<something>" while
most private ones (mostly callbacks) were called "stream_int_<something>".
There were still a few confusing exceptions, which were addressed to
follow this shcme :
- stream_sock_read0(), only used internally, was renamed stream_int_read0()
and made static
- stream_int_notify() is only private and was made static
- stream_int_{check_timeouts,report_error,retnclose,register_handler,update}
were renamed si_<something>.
Now it is clearer when checking one of these if it risks to be used outside
or not.
There was a reference to struct stream in conn_free() for the case
where we're freeing a connection that doesn't have a mux attached.
For now we know it's always a stream, and we only need to do it to
put a NULL in s->si[1].end.
Let's do it better by storing the pointer to si[1].end in the context
and specifying that this pointer is always nulled if the mux is null.
This way it allows a connection to detach itself from wherever it's
being used. Maybe we could even get rid of the condition on the mux.
We most often store the mux context there but it can also be something
else while setting up the connection. Better call it "ctx" and know
that it's the owner's context than misleadingly call it mux_ctx and
get caught doing suspicious tricks.
The SUB_CAN_SEND/SUB_CAN_RECV enum values have been confusing a few
times, especially when checking them on reading. After some discussion,
it appears that calling them SUB_RETRY_SEND/SUB_RETRY_RECV more
accurately reflects their purpose since these events may only appear
after a first attempt to perform the I/O operation has failed or was
not completed.
In addition the wait_reason field in struct wait_event which carries
them makes one think that a single reason may happen at once while
it is in fact a set of events. Since the struct is called wait_event
it makes sense that this field is called "events" to indicate it's the
list of events we're subscribed to.
Last, the values for SUB_RETRY_RECV/SEND were swapped so that value
1 corresponds to recv and 2 to send, as is done almost everywhere else
in the code an in the shutdown() call.
Types DNS_SRVRQ and CS were not referenced in the type to string
conversions, causing possibly misleading outputs in session dumps.
Now instead of showing "NONE" for unknown invalid types names, we
display "!INVAL!" to clear the confusion that may exist in case of
memory corruption for example.
In session, don't keep an infinite number of connection that can idle.
Add a new frontend parameter, "max-session-srv-conns" to set a max number,
with a default value of 5.
Instead of trying to get the session from the connection, which is not
always there, and of course there could be multiple sessions per connection,
provide it with the init() and attach() methods, so that we know the
session for each outgoing stream.
Add a new command, "pool-max-conn" that sets the maximum number of connections
waiting in the orphan idling connections list (as activated with idle-timeout).
Using "-1" means unlimited. Using pools is now dependant on this.
Now that h1 and legacy HTTP are two distinct things, there's no need
to keep the legacy HTTP parsers in h1.c since they're only used by
the legacy code in proto_http.c, and h1.h doesn't need to include
hdr_idx anymore. This concerns the following functions :
- http_parse_reqline();
- http_parse_stsline();
- http_msg_analyzer();
- http_forward_trailers();
All of these were moved to http_msg.c.
Lots of HTTP code still uses struct http_msg. Not only this code is
still huge, but it's part of the legacy interface. Let's move most
of these functions to a separate file http_msg.c to make it more
visible which file relies on what. It's mostly symmetrical with
what is present in http_htx.c.
The function http_transform_header_str() which used to rely on two
function pointers to look up a header was simplified to rely on
two variants http_legacy_replace_{,full_}header(), making both
sides of the function much simpler.
No code was changed beyond these moves.
All the HTX definition is self-contained and doesn't really depend on
anything external since it's a mostly protocol. In addition, some
external similar files (like h2) also placed in common used to rely
on it, making it a bit awkward.
This patch moves the two htx.h files into a single self-contained one.
The historical dependency on sample.h could be also removed since it
used to be there only for http_meth_t which is now in http.h.
There were a number of ugly setsockopt() calls spread all over
proto_http.c, proto_htx.c and hlua.c just to manipulate the front
connection's TOS, mark or TCP quick-ack. These ones entirely relied
on the connection, its existence, its control layer's presence, and
its addresses. Worse, inet_set_tos() was placed in proto_http.c,
exported and used from the two other ones, surrounded in #ifdefs.
This patch moves this code to connection.h and makes the other ones
rely on it without ifdefs.
If we try to receive before the connection is established, we lose the
send event and are not woken up anymore once the connection is established.
This was diagnosed by Olivier.
No backport is needed.
There are some situations where we need to wait for the other side to
be connected. None of the current blocking flags support this. It used
to work more or less by accident using the old flags. Let's add a new
flag to mention we're blocking on this, it's removed by si_chk_rcv()
when a connection is established. It should be enough for now.
The master is not supposed to run (at the moment) any task before the
polling loop, the created tasks should be run only in the workers but in
the master they should be disabled or removed.
No backport needed.
To ease the fast forwarding and the infinte forwarding on HTX proxies, 2
functions have been added to let the channel be almost aware of the way data are
stored in its buffer. By calling these functions instead of legacy ones, we are
sure to forward the right amount of data.
Now, the function htx_from_buf() will set the buffer's length to its size
automatically. In return, the caller should call htx_to_buf() at the end to be
sure to leave the buffer hosting the HTX message in the right state. When the
caller can use the function htxbuf() to get the HTX message without any update
on the underlying buffer.
The small HTX overhead is enough to make the system perform multiple
reads and unaligned memory copies. Here we provide a function whose
purpose is to reduce the apparent room in a buffer by the size of the
overhead for DATA blocks, which is the struct htx plus 2 blocks (one
for DATA, one for the end of message so that small blocks can fit at
once). The muxes using HTX will be encouraged to use this one instead
of b_room() to compute the available buffer room and avoid filling
their demux buf with more data than can fit at once into the HTX
buffer.
This one is used a lot during transfers, let's avoid resetting its
size when there are already data in the buffer since it implies the
size is correct.
We currently have conn_get_best_mux() to return the best mux for a
given protocol name, side and proxy mode. But we need the mux entry
as well in order to fix the bind_conf and servers at the end of the
config parsing. Let's split the function in two parts. It's worth
noting that the <conn> argument is never used anymore so this part
is eligible to some cleanup.
First, to be called on HTX streams, a filter must explicitly be declared as
compatible by setting the flag STRM_FLT_FL_HAS_FILTERS on the filter's config at
HAProxy startup. This flag is checked when a filter implementation is attached
to a stream.
Then, some changes have been made on HTTP callbacks. The callback http_payload
has been added to filter HTX data. It will be called on HTX streams only. It
replaces the callbacks http_data, http_chunk_trailers and http_forward_data,
called on legacy HTTP streams only and marked as deprecated. The documention
(once updated)) will give all information to implement this new callback. Other
HTTP callbacks will be called for HTX and HTTP legacy streams. So it is the
filter's responsibility to known which kind of data it handles. The macro
IS_HTX_STRM should be used in such cases.
There is at least a noticeable changes in the way data are forwarded. In HTX,
after the call to the callback http_headers, all the headers are considered as
forwarded. So, in http_payload, only the body and eventually the trailers will
be filtered.
During startup, after the configuration parsing, all HTTP error messages
(errorloc, errorfile or default messages) are converted into HTX messages and
stored in dedicated buffers. We use it to return errors in the HTX analyzers
instead of using ugly OOB blocks.
Instead, we now use the htx_sl coming from the HTX message. It avoids to have
too H1 specific code in version-agnostic parts. Of course, the concept of the
start-line is higly influenced by the H1, but the structure htx_sl can be
adapted, if necessary. And many things depend on a start-line during HTTP
analyzis. Using the structure htx_sl also avoid boring conversions between HTX
version and H1 version.
If there is no start-line, this offset is set to -1. Otherwise, it is the
relative address where the start-line is stored in the data block. When the
start-line is added, replaced or removed, this offset is updated accordingly. On
remove, if the start-line is no set and if the next block is a start-line, the
offset is updated. Finally, when an HTX structure is defragmented, the offset is
also updated accordingly.
The HTX start-line is now a struct. It will be easier to extend, if needed. Same
info can be found, of course. In addition it is now possible to set flags on
it. It will be used to set some infos about the message.
Some macros and functions have been added in proto/htx.h to help accessing
different parts of the start-line.
The function htx_find_blk() returns the HTX block containing data with a given
offset, relatively to the beginning of the HTX message. It is a good way to skip
outgoing data and find the first HTX block not already processed.
the functions htx_get_next() and htx_get_prev() are used to iterate on an HTX
message using blocks position. With htx_get_next_blk() and htx_get_prev_blk(),
it is possible to do the same, but with HTX blocks. Of course, internally, we
rely on position's versions to do so. But it is handy for callers to not take
care of the blocks position.
The function htx_add_data_before() can be used to add an HTX block before
another one. For instance, it could be used to add some data before the
end-of-message marker.
Time to time, the need arises to get some info owned by the multiplexer about a
connection stream from the upper layer. Today we really need to get some dates
and durations specific to the conn_stream. It is only true for the mux H1 and
H2. Otherwise it will be impossible to have correct times reported in the logs.
To do so, the structure cs_info has been defined to provide all info we ever
need on a conn_stream from the upper layer. Of course, it is the first step. So
this structure will certainly envloved. But for now, only the bare minimum is
referenced. On the mux side, the callback get_cs_info() has been added in the
structure mux_ops. Multiplexers can now implement it, if necessary, to return a
pointer on a structure cs_info. And finally, the function si_get_cs_info()
should be used from the upper layer. If the stream interface is not attached to
a connection stream, this function returns NULL, likewise if the callback
get_cs_info() is not defined for the corresponding mux.
htx_cut_data_blk() is used to cut the beginning of a DATA block after a
part of it was tranferred. It simply advances the address, reduces the
advertised length and updates the htx's total data count.
It looks like we forgot to report HTX when listing the muxes and their
respective protocols, leading to "NONE" being displayed. Let's report
"HTX" and "HTTP|HTX" since both will exist. Also fix a minor typo in
the output message.
Instead of just storing the last connection in the session, store all of
the connections, for at most MAX_SRV_LIST (currently 5) targets.
That way we can do keepalive on more than 1 outgoing connection when the
client uses HTTP/2.
signal_init(), init_log(), init_stream(), and init_task() all used to
only preset some values and lists. This needs to be done very early to
provide a reliable interface to all other users. The calls used to be
explicit in haproxy.c:init(). Now they're placed in initcalls at the
STG_PREPARE stage. The functions are not exported anymore.
Instead of exporting a number of pools and having to manually delete
them in deinit() or to have dedicated destructors to remove them, let's
simply kill all pools on deinit().
For this a new function pool_destroy_all() was introduced. As its name
implies, it destroys and frees all pools (provided they don't have any
user anymore of course).
This allowed to remove 4 implicit destructors, 2 explicit ones, and 11
individual calls to pool_destroy(). In addition it properly removes
the mux_pt_ctx pool which was not cleared on exit (no backport needed
here since it's 1.9 only). The sig_handler pool doesn't need to be
exported anymore and became static now.
This commit replaces the explicit pool creation that are made in
constructors with a pool registration. Not only this simplifies the
pools declaration (it can be done on a single line after the head is
declared), but it also removes references to pools from within
constructors. The only remaining create_pool() calls are those
performed in init functions after the config is parsed, so there
is no more user of potentially uninitialized pool now.
It has been the opportunity to remove no less than 12 constructors
and 6 init functions.
Building with musl and gcc-5.3 for MIPS returns this :
include/common/buf.h: In function 'b_dist':
include/common/buf.h:252:2: error: unknown type name 'ssize_t'
ssize_t dist = to - from;
^
Including stdint or stddef is not sufficient there to get ssize_t,
unistd is needed as well. It's likely that other platforms will have
the same issue. This patch also addresses it in ist.h and memory.h.
Building on 32 bits gives this :
include/proto/htx.h: In function 'htx_dump':
include/proto/htx.h:443:25: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 8 has type 'uint64_t {aka long long unsigned int}' [-Wformat=]
fprintf(stderr, "htx:%p [ size=%u - data=%u - used=%u - wrap=%s - extra=%lu]\n",
^
In htx_dump(), fprintf() uses %lu but the value is an uint64_t so it
doesn't match on 32-bit. Let's cast this to unsigned long long and use
%llu instead.
When we create a connection, if we have to defer the conn_stream and the
mux creation until we can decide it (ie until the SSL handshake is done, and
the ALPN is decided), store the connection in the stream_interface, so that
we're sure we can destroy it if needed.
If an ALPN (or a NPN) was chosen for a server, defer choosing the mux until
after the SSL handshake is done, and the ALPN/NPN has been negociated, so
that we know which mux to pick.
Right now we measure for each task the cumulated time spent waiting for
the CPU and using it. The timestamp uses a 64-bit integer to report a
nanosecond-level date. This is only enabled when "profiling.tasks" is
enabled, and consumes less than 1% extra CPU on x86_64 when enabled.
The cumulated processing time and wait time are reported in "show sess".
The task's counters are also reset when an HTTP transaction is reset
since the HTTP part pretends to restart on a fresh new stream. This
will make sure we always report correct numbers for each request in
the logs.
This is a new global setting which enables or disables CPU profiling
per task. For now it only sets/resets the variable based on the global
option "profiling.tasks" and supports showing it as well as setting it
from the CLI using "show profiling" and "set profiling". The option will
be used by a future commit. It was done in a way which should ease future
addition of profiling options.
Since we know the time it takes to process everything between two poll()
calls, we can use this as the max latency measurement any task will
experience and average it.
This code does this, and reports in "show activity" the average of this
loop time over the last 1024 poll() loops, for each thread. It will vary
quickly at high loads and slowly under low to moderate loads, depending
on the rate at which poll() is called. The latency a task experiences
is expected to be half of this on average.
At the moment the situation with activity measurement is quite tricky
because the struct activity is defined in global.h and declared in
haproxy.c, with operations made in time.h and relying on freq_ctr
which are defined in freq_ctr.h which itself includes time.h. It's
barely possible to touch any of these files without breaking all the
circular dependency.
Let's move all this stuff to activity.{c,h} and be done with it. The
measurement of active and stolen time is now done in a dedicated
function called just after tv_before_poll() instead of mixing the two,
which used to be a lazy (but convenient) decision.
No code was changed, stuff was just moved around.
Just found that proto/cli.h doesn't build if types/cli.h is not also
included by the caller, as it uses cli_kw_list is used in arguments.
But it's also true for a few other ones like mworker_proc, stream,
and channel, so let's fix this.
The new function signal_unregister() removes every handlers assigned to
a signal. Once the handler list of the signal is empty, the signal is
ignored with SIG_IGN.
This was the largest function of the whole file, taking a rough second
to build alone. Let's move it to a distinct file along with a few
dependencies. Doing so saved about 2 seconds on the total build time.
It does the same than smp_prefetch_http but for HTX messages. It can be called
from an HTTP proxy or a TCP proxy. For HTTP proxies, the parsing is handled by
the mux, so it does nothing but wait. For TCP proxies, it tries to parse an HTTP
message and to convert it in a temporary HTX message. Sample fetches will use
this temporary variable to do their job.
It is more or less the same than legacy version but adapted to be called from
HTX analyzers. In the legacy version of this function, we switch on the HTX code
when applicable.

This file will host all functions to manipulate HTTP messages using the HTX
representation. Functions in this file will be able to be called from anywhere
and are mainly related to the HTTP semantics.
The internal representation of an HTTP message, called HTX, is a structured
representation, unlike the old one which is a raw representation of
messages. Idea is to have a version-agnostic representation of the HTTP
messages, which can be easily used by to handle HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and hopefully
QUIC messages, and communication from one of them to another.
In this patch, we add types to define the internal representation itself and the
main functions to manipulate them.
Now, the connection mode is detected in the mux and not in HTX analyzers
anymore. Keep-alive connections are now managed by the mux. A new stream is
created for each transaction. This removes the most important part of the
synchronization between channels and the HTTP transaction cleanup. These changes
only affect the HTX part (proto_htx.c). Legacy HTTP analyzers remain untouched
for now.
On the client-side, the mux is responsible to create new streams when a new
request starts. It is also responsible to parse and update the "Connection:"
header of the response. On the server-side, the mux is responsible to parse and
update the "Connection:" header of the request. Muxes on each side are
independent. For now, there is no connection pool on the server-side, so it
always close the server connection.
For now, these analyzers are just copies of the legacy HTTP analyzers. But,
during the HTTP refactoring, it will be the main place where it will be
visible. And in legacy analyzers, the macro IS_HTX_STRM is used to know if the
HTX version should be called or not.
Note: the following commits were applied to proto_http.c after this patch
was developed and need to be studied to see if an adaptation to htx
is required :
fd9b68c BUG/MINOR: only mark connections private if NTLM is detected
To prepare the refactoring of the code handling HTTP messages, these macros will
help to use HTX functions instead of legacy ones when the new HTX internal
representation is in use. To do so, for a given stream, we will check if its
frontend has the option PR_O2_USE_HTX. It is useless to test backend options
because it is not possible to mix the HTX representation and the legacy one
(i.e, having an HTX frontend and a legacy backend or vice versa).
Do not destroy the connection when we're about to destroy a stream. This
prevents us from doing keepalive on server connections when the client is
using HTTP/2, as a new stream is created for each request.
Instead, the session is now responsible for destroying connections.
When reusing connections, the attach() mux method is now used to create a new
conn_stream.
Introduce a new field in session, "srv_conn", and a linked list of sessions
in the connection. It will be used later when we'll switch connections
from being managed by the stream, to being managed by the session.
Remaining calls to si_cant_put() were all for lack of room and were
turned to si_rx_room_blk(). A few places where SI_FL_RXBLK_ROOM was
cleared by hand were converted to si_rx_room_rdy().
The now unused si_cant_put() function was removed.
The channel can disable reading from the stream-interface using various
methods, such as :
- CF_DONT_READ
- !channel_may_recv()
- and possibly others
Till now this was done by mangling SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP which is not
appropriate at all since it's not the stream interface which decides
whether it wants to deliver data or not. Some places were also wrongly
relying on SI_FL_RXBLK_ROOM since it was the only other alternative,
but it's not suitable for CF_DONT_READ.
Let's use the SI_FL_RXBLK_CHAN flag for this instead. It will properly
prevent the stream interface from being woken up and reads from
subscribing to more receipt without being accidently removed. It is
automatically reset if CF_DONT_READ is not set in stream_int_notify().
The code is not trivial because it splits the logic between everything
related to buffer contents (channel_is_empty(), CF_WRITE_PARTIAL, etc)
and buffer policy (CF_DONT_READ). Also it now needs to decide timeouts
based on any blocking flag and not just SI_FL_RXBLK_ROOM anymore.
It looks like this patch has caused a minor performance degradation on
connection rate, which possibly deserves being investigated deeper as
the test conditions are uncertain (e.g. slightly more subscribe calls?).
Till now we were using si_done_put() upon shutr, but these flags could
be reset upon next activity. Now let's switch to SI_FL_RXBLK_SHUT which
doesn't go away. It's also set in stream_int_update() in case a shutr
condition is detected.
The now unused si_done_put() was removed.
Instead of checking complex conditions to call si_cs_recv() upon first
call, let's simply use si_rx_endp_ready() now that si_cs_recv() reports
it accurately, and add si_rx_blocked() to cover any blocking situation.
The stream interface used to conflate a missing buffer and lack of
buffer space into SI_FL_WAIT_ROOM but this causes difficulties as
these cannot be checked at the same moment and are not resolved at
the same moment either. Now we instead mark the buffer as presumably
available using si_rx_buff_rdy() and mark it as unavailable+requested
using si_rx_buff_blk().
The call to si_alloc_buf() was moved after si_stop_put(). This makes
sure that the SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP flag is cleared on allocation failure so
that the function is called again if the callee fails to do its work.
The SI_FL_WANT_PUT flag is used in an awkward way, sometimes it's
set by the stream-interface to mean "I have something to deliver",
sometimes it's cleared by the channel to say "I don't want you to
send what you have", and it has to be set back once CF_DONT_READ
is cleared. This will have to be split between SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP
and SI_FL_RXBLK_CHAN. This patch only replaces all uses of the
flag with its natural (but negated) replacement SI_FL_RX_WAIT_EP.
The code is expected to be strictly equivalent. The now unused flag
was completely removed.
The first ones are used to figure if a direction is blocked on the
stream interface for anything but the end point. The second ones are
used to detect if the end point is ready to receive/transmit. They
should be used instead of directly fiddling with the existing bits.
This flag is not enough to describe all blocking situations, as can be
seen in each case we remove it. The muxes has taught us that using multiple
blocking flags in parallel will be much easier, so let's start to do this
now. This patch only renames this flags in order to make next changes more
readable.
This method is used to retrieve the first known good conn_stream from
the mux. It will be used to find the other end of a connection when
dealing with the proxy protocol for example.
