This patch splits the function stats_dump_li_stats() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_li_stats(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_fe_stats() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_fe_stats(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch splits the function stats_dump_info_to_buffer() in two parts. The
extracted part is called stats_fill_info(), and just fill the stats buffer.
This split allows the usage of preformated stats in other parts of HAProxy
like the Lua.
This patch adds a Lua post initialisation wrapper. It already exists for
pure Lua function, now it executes also C. It is useful for doing things
when the configuration is ready to use. For example we can can browse and
register all the proxies.
All the HAProxy Lua object are declared with the same pattern:
- Add the function __tosting which dumps the object name
- Register the name in the Lua REGISTRY
- Register the reference ID
These action are refactored in on function. This remove some
lines of code.
The functions
- hlua_class_const_int()
- hlua_class_const_str()
- hlua_class_function()
are use for common class registration actions.
The function 'hlua_dump_object()' is generic dump name function.
These functions can be used by all the HAProxy objects, so I move
it into the safe functions file.
Avoiding harmful memcpy call if the allocation failed.
Resetting the size which avoids further harmful freeing
invalid pointer. Closer to the comment behavior description.
The strftime() function can call tzset() internally on some platforms.
When haproxy is chrooted, the /etc/localtime file is not found, and some
implementations will clobber the content of the current timezone.
The GMT offset is computed by diffing the times returned by gmtime_r() and
localtime_r(). These variants are guaranteed to not call tzset() and were
already used in haproxy while chrooted, so they should be safe.
This patch must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
GMT offset used in local time formats was computed at startup, but was not updated when DST status changed while running.
For example these two RFC5424 syslog traces where emitted 5 seconds apart, just before and after DST changed:
<14>1 2016-03-27T01:59:58+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 2098 - - Connect ...
<14>1 2016-03-27T03:00:03+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 2098 - - Connect ...
It looked like they were emitted more than 1 hour apart, unlike with the fix:
<14>1 2016-03-27T01:59:58+01:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 3381 - - Connect ...
<14>1 2016-03-27T03:00:03+02:00 bunch-VirtualBox haproxy 3381 - - Connect ...
This patch should be backported to 1.6 and partially to 1.5 (no fix needed in log.c).
This emits the field positions, names and types. It is more convenient
than the default output for a parser that doesn't know all the fields. It
simply relies on stats_emit_typed_data_field() and stats_emit_field_tags()
added by previous patch for the output. A new stats format flag was added,
STAT_FMT_TYPED, which is set when the "typed" keyword is specified on the
CLI.
New function stats_emit_typed_data_field() does exactly like
stats_emit_raw_data_field() except that it also prints the data
type after a colon. This will be used to print using the typed
format.
And function stats_emit_field_tags() appends a 3-letter code
describing the origin, nature, and scope, followed by an optional
delimiter. This will be particularly convenient to dump typed
data.
It's easier to have a new flag in <flags> to indicate whether or not we
want to display the admin column in HTML dumps. We already have similar
flags to show the version or the legends.
We're preparing for various data types for each stats field as they
appear in the CSV output. For now we only cover the regular types handled
by printf, so we have 32 and 64 bit ints and counters, strings, and of
course "empty" to indicate that there's nothing in the field and which
guarantees that any accessed entry will return 0.
More types will surely come later so that some fields are properly
represented. For example, we could see limits where only the value 0
doesn't show up, or human time, etc.
This is the continuation of previous patch called "BUG/MAJOR: samples:
check smp->strm before using it".
It happens that variables may have a session-wide scope, and that their
session is retrieved by dereferencing the stream. But nothing prevents them
from being used from a streamless context such as tcp-request connection,
thus crashing the process. Example :
tcp-request connection accept if { src,set-var(sess.foo) -m found }
In order to fix this, we have to always ensure that variable manipulation
only happens via the sample, which contains the correct owner and context,
and that we never use one from a different source. This results in quite a
large change since a lot of functions are inderctly involved in the call
chain, but the change is easy to follow.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, and requires the last two patches.
Since commit 6879ad3 ("MEDIUM: sample: fill the struct sample with the
session, proxy and stream pointers") merged in 1.6-dev2, the sample
contains the pointer to the stream and sample fetch functions as well
as converters use it heavily. This requires from a lot of call places
to initialize 4 fields, and it was even forgotten at a few places.
This patch provides a convenient helper to initialize all these fields
at once, making it easy to prepare a new sample from a previous one for
example.
A few call places were cleaned up to make use of it. It will be needed
by further fixes.
At one place in the Lua code, it was moved earlier because we used to
call sample casts with a non completely initialized sample, which is
not clean eventhough at the moment there are no consequences.
Since commit 6879ad3 ("MEDIUM: sample: fill the struct sample with the
session, proxy and stream pointers") merged in 1.6-dev2, the sample
contains the pointer to the stream and sample fetch functions as well
as converters use it heavily.
The problem is that earlier commit 87b0966 ("REORG/MAJOR: session:
rename the "session" entity to "stream"") had split the session and
stream resulting in the possibility for smp->strm to be NULL before
the stream was initialized. This is what happens in tcp-request
connection rulesets, as discovered by Baptiste.
The sample fetch functions must now check that smp->strm is valid
before using it. An alternative could consist in using a dummy stream
with nothing in it to avoid some checks but it would only result in
deferring them to the next step anyway, and making it harder to detect
that a stream is valid or the dummy one.
There is still an issue with variables which requires a complete
independant fix. They use strm->sess to find the session with strm
possibly NULL and passed as an argument. All call places indirectly
use smp->strm to build strm. So the problem is there but the API needs
to be changed to remove this duplicate argument that makes it much
harder to know what pointer to use.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, as well as the next one fixing
variables.
The recent addition of "show env" on the CLI has revealed an interesting
design bug. Chunks are supposed to support a negative length to indicate
that they carry no data. chunk_printf() sets this size to -1 if the string
is too large for the buffer. At a few places in the http engine we may end
up with trash.len = -1. But bi_putchk(), chunk_appendf() and a few other
chunks consumers don't consider this case as possible and will use such a
chunk, possibly restoring an invalid string or trying to copy -1 bytes.
This fix takes care of clarifying the situation in a backportable way
where such sizes are used, so that a negative length indicating an error
remains present until the chunk is reinitialized or overwritten. But a
cleaner design adjustment needs to be done so that there's a clear contract
on how to use these chunks. At first glance it doesn't seem *that* useful
to support negative sizes, so probably this is what should change.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
the function server_parse_addr_change_request() contain an hardcoded
updater source "stats command". this function can be called from other
sources than the "stats command", so this patch make this argument
generic.
The commit 87b096 renames the functions srv_shutdown_backup_sessions()
and srv_shutdown_sessions() to srv_shutdown_backup_streams() and
srv_shutdown_streams().
The header file <proto/servers.h> does not repport these changes.
This bug should be repported in the 1.6 branch, even if it is useless
because new dev are frozen.
This patch introduces a configurable connection timeout for mailers
with a new "timeout mail <time>" directive.

This options prioritize th choice of an ip address matching a network. This is
useful with clouds to prefer a local ip. In some cases, a cloud high
avalailibility service can be announced with many ip addresses on many
differents datacenters. The latency between datacenter is not negligible, so
this patch permitsto prefers a local datacenter. If none address matchs the
configured network, another address is selected.
DNS selection preferences are actually declared inline in the
struct server. There are copied from the server struct to the
dns_resolution struct for each resolution.
Next patchs adds new preferences options, and it is not a good
way to copy all the configuration information before each dns
resolution.
This patch extract the configuration preference from the struct
server and declares a new dedicated struct. Only a pointer to this
new striuict will be copied before each dns resolution.
Concat object is based on "luaL_Buffer". The luaL_Buffer documentation says:
During its normal operation, a string buffer uses a variable number of stack
slots. So, while using a buffer, you cannot assume that you know where the
top of the stack is. You can use the stack between successive calls to buffer
operations as long as that use is balanced; that is, when you call a buffer
operation, the stack is at the same level it was immediately after the
previous buffer operation. (The only exception to this rule is
luaL_addvalue.) After calling luaL_pushresult the stack is back to its level
when the buffer was initialized, plus the final string on its top.
So, the stack cannot be manipulated between the first call at the function
"luaL_buffinit()" and the last call to the function "luaL_pushresult()" because
we cannot known the stack status.
In other way, the memory used by these functions seems to be collected by GC, so
if the GC is triggered during the usage of the Concat object, it can be used
some released memory.
This patch rewrite the Concat class without the "luaL_Buffer" system. It uses
"userdata()" forr the memory allocation of the buffer strings.
This allows the tcp connection to send multiple SYN packets, so 1 lost
packet does not cause the mail to be lost. It changes the socket timeout
from 2 to 10 seconds, this allows for 3 syn packets to be send and
waiting a little for their reply.
This patch should be backported to 1.6.

Using environment variables in configuration files can make troubleshooting
complicated because there's no easy way to verify that the variables are
correct. This patch introduces a new "show env" command which displays the
whole environment on the CLI, one variable per line.
The socket must at least have level operator to display the environment.
The +E mode escapes characters '"', '\' and ']' with '\' as prefix. It
mostly makes sense to use it in the RFC5424 structured-data log formats.
Example:
log-format-sd %{+Q,+E}o\ [exampleSDID@1234\ header=%[capture.req.hdr(0)]]
This patch moves the function hlua_checkudata which check that
an object contains the expected class_reference as metatable.
This function is commonly used by all the lua functions.
The function hlua_metatype is also moved.
This parser takes a string containing an HTTP date. It returns
a broken-down time struct. We must considers considers this
time as GMT. Maybe later the timezone will be taken in account.
When Lua executes functions from its API, these can throws an error.
These function must be executed in a special environment which catch
these error, otherwise a critical error (like segfault) can raise.
This patch add a c file called "hlua_fcn.c" which collect all the
Lua/c function needing safe environment for its execution.
Now, filter's configuration (.id, .conf and .ops fields) is stored in the
structure 'flt_conf'. So proxies own a flt_conf list instead of a filter
list. When a filter is attached to a stream, it gets a pointer on its
configuration. This avoids mixing the filter's context (owns by a stream) and
its configuration (owns by a proxy). It also saves 2 pointers per filter
instance.
Now, http_parse_chunk_size and http_skip_chunk_crlf return the number of bytes
parsed on success. http_skip_chunk_crlf does not use msg->sol anymore.
On the other hand, http_forward_trailers is unchanged. It returns >0 if the end
of trailers is reached and 0 if not. In all cases (except if an error is
encountered), msg->sol contains the length of the last parsed part of the
trailer headers.
Internal doc and comments about msg->sol has been updated accordingly.
Before, functions to filter HTTP body (and TCP data) were called from the moment
at least one filter was attached to the stream. If no filter is interested by
these data, this uselessly slows data parsing.
A good example is the HTTP compression filter. Depending of request and response
headers, the response compression can be enabled or not. So it could be really
nice to call it only when enabled.
So, now, to filter HTTP/TCP data, a filter must use the function
register_data_filter. For TCP streams, this function can be called only
once. But for HTTP streams, when needed, it must be called for each HTTP request
or HTTP response.
Only registered filters will be called during data parsing. At any time, a
filter can be unregistered by calling the function unregister_data_filter.
From the stream point of view, this new structure is opaque. it hides filters
implementation details. So, impact for future optimizations will be reduced
(well, we hope so...).
Some small improvements has been made in filters.c to avoid useless checks.
This new analyzer will be called for each HTTP request/response, before the
parsing of the body. It is identified by AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS.
Special care was taken about the following condition :
* the frontend is a TCP proxy
* filters are defined in the frontend section
* the selected backend is a HTTP proxy
So, this patch explicitly add AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS analyzer on the request and the
response channels when the backend is a HTTP proxy and when there are filters
attatched on the stream.
This patch simplifies http_request_forward_body and http_response_forward_body
functions.
For Chunked HTTP request/response, the body filtering can be really
expensive. In the worse case (many chunks of 1 bytes), the filters overhead is
of 3 calls per chunk. If http_data callback is useful, others are just
informative.
So these callbacks has been removed. Of course, existing filters (trace and
compression) has beeen updated accordingly. For the HTTP compression filter, the
update is quite huge. Its implementation is closer to the old one.
When no filter is attached to the stream, the CPU footprint due to the calls to
filters_* functions is huge, especially for chunk-encoded messages. Using macros
to check if we have some filters or not is a great improvement.
Furthermore, instead of checking the filter list emptiness, we introduce a flag
to know if filters are attached or not to a stream.
HTTP compression has been rewritten to use the filter API. This is more a PoC
than other thing for now. It allocates memory to work. So, if only for that, it
should be rewritten.
In the mean time, the implementation has been refactored to allow its use with
other filters. However, there are limitations that should be respected:
- No filter placed after the compression one is allowed to change input data
(in 'http_data' callback).
- No filter placed before the compression one is allowed to change forwarded
data (in 'http_forward_data' callback).
For now, these limitations are informal, so you should be careful when you use
several filters.
About the configuration, 'compression' keywords are still supported and must be
used to configure the HTTP compression behavior. In absence of a 'filter' line
for the compression filter, it is added in the filter chain when the first
compression' line is parsed. This is an easy way to do when you do not use other
filters. But another filter exists, an error is reported so that the user must
explicitly declare the filter.
For example:
listen tst
...
compression algo gzip
compression offload
...
filter flt_1
filter compression
filter flt_2
...
HTTP compression will be moved in a true filter. To prepare the ground, some
functions have been moved in a dedicated file. Idea is to keep everything about
compression algos in compression.c and everything related to the filtering in
flt_http_comp.c.
For now, a header has been added to help during the transition. It will be
removed later.
Unused empty ACL keyword list was removed. The "compression" keyword
parser was moved from cfgparse.c to flt_http_comp.c.
This patch adds the support of filters in HAProxy. The main idea is to have a
way to "easely" extend HAProxy by adding some "modules", called filters, that
will be able to change HAProxy behavior in a programmatic way.
To do so, many entry points has been added in code to let filters to hook up to
different steps of the processing. A filter must define a flt_ops sutrctures
(see include/types/filters.h for details). This structure contains all available
callbacks that a filter can define:
struct flt_ops {
/*
* Callbacks to manage the filter lifecycle
*/
int (*init) (struct proxy *p);
void (*deinit)(struct proxy *p);
int (*check) (struct proxy *p);
/*
* Stream callbacks
*/
void (*stream_start) (struct stream *s);
void (*stream_accept) (struct stream *s);
void (*session_establish)(struct stream *s);
void (*stream_stop) (struct stream *s);
/*
* HTTP callbacks
*/
int (*http_start) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_data) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_last_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_chunk_trailers)(struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_end) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reset) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_pre_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_post_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reply) (struct stream *s, short status,
const struct chunk *msg);
};
To declare and use a filter, in the configuration, the "filter" keyword must be
used in a listener/frontend section:
frontend test
...
filter <FILTER-NAME> [OPTIONS...]
The filter referenced by the <FILTER-NAME> must declare a configuration parser
on its own name to fill flt_ops and filter_conf field in the proxy's
structure. An exemple will be provided later to make it perfectly clear.
For now, filters cannot be used in backend section. But this is only a matter of
time. Documentation will also be added later. This is the first commit of a long
list about filters.
It is possible to have several filters on the same listener/frontend. These
filters are stored in an array of at most MAX_FILTERS elements (define in
include/types/filters.h). Again, this will be replaced later by a list of
filters.
The filter API has been highly refactored. Main changes are:
* Now, HA supports an infinite number of filters per proxy. To do so, filters
are stored in list.
* Because filters are stored in list, filters state has been moved from the
channel structure to the filter structure. This is cleaner because there is no
more info about filters in channel structure.
* It is possible to defined filters on backends only. For such filters,
stream_start/stream_stop callbacks are not called. Of course, it is possible
to mix frontend and backend filters.
* Now, TCP streams are also filtered. All callbacks without the 'http_' prefix
are called for all kind of streams. In addition, 2 new callbacks were added to
filter data exchanged through a TCP stream:
- tcp_data: it is called when new data are available or when old unprocessed
data are still waiting.
- tcp_forward_data: it is called when some data can be consumed.
* New callbacks attached to channel were added:
- channel_start_analyze: it is called when a filter is ready to process data
exchanged through a channel. 2 new analyzers (a frontend and a backend)
are attached to channels to call this callback. For a frontend filter, it
is called before any other analyzer. For a backend filter, it is called
when a backend is attached to a stream. So some processing cannot be
filtered in that case.
- channel_analyze: it is called before each analyzer attached to a channel,
expects analyzers responsible for data sending.
- channel_end_analyze: it is called when all other analyzers have finished
their processing. A new analyzers is attached to channels to call this
callback. For a TCP stream, this is always the last one called. For a HTTP
one, the callback is called when a request/response ends, so it is called
one time for each request/response.
* 'session_established' callback has been removed. Everything that is done in
this callback can be handled by 'channel_start_analyze' on the response
channel.
* 'http_pre_process' and 'http_post_process' callbacks have been replaced by
'channel_analyze'.
* 'http_start' callback has been replaced by 'http_headers'. This new one is
called just before headers sending and parsing of the body.
* 'http_end' callback has been replaced by 'channel_end_analyze'.
* It is possible to set a forwarder for TCP channels. It was already possible to
do it for HTTP ones.
* Forwarders can partially consumed forwardable data. For this reason a new
HTTP message state was added before HTTP_MSG_DONE : HTTP_MSG_ENDING.
Now all filters can define corresponding callbacks (http_forward_data
and tcp_forward_data). Each filter owns 2 offsets relative to buf->p, next and
forward, to track, respectively, input data already parsed but not forwarded yet
by the filter and parsed data considered as forwarded by the filter. A any time,
we have the warranty that a filter cannot parse or forward more input than
previous ones. And, of course, it cannot forward more input than it has
parsed. 2 macros has been added to retrieve these offets: FLT_NXT and FLT_FWD.
In addition, 2 functions has been added to change the 'next size' and the
'forward size' of a filter. When a filter parses input data, it can alter these
data, so the size of these data can vary. This action has an effet on all
previous filters that must be handled. To do so, the function
'filter_change_next_size' must be called, passing the size variation. In the
same spirit, if a filter alter forwarded data, it must call the function
'filter_change_forward_size'. 'filter_change_next_size' can be called in
'http_data' and 'tcp_data' callbacks and only these ones. And
'filter_change_forward_size' can be called in 'http_forward_data' and
'tcp_forward_data' callbacks and only these ones. The data changes are the
filter responsability, but with some limitation. It must not change already
parsed/forwarded data or data that previous filters have not parsed/forwarded
yet.
Because filters can be used on backends, when we the backend is set for a
stream, we add filters defined for this backend in the filter list of the
stream. But we must only do that when the backend and the frontend of the stream
are not the same. Else same filters are added a second time leading to undefined
behavior.
The HTTP compression code had to be moved.
So it simplifies http_response_forward_body function. To do so, the way the data
are forwarded has changed. Now, a filter (and only one) can forward data. In a
commit to come, this limitation will be removed to let all filters take part to
data forwarding. There are 2 new functions that filters should use to deal with
this feature:
* flt_set_http_data_forwarder: This function sets the filter (using its id)
that will forward data for the specified HTTP message. It is possible if it
was not already set by another filter _AND_ if no data was yet forwarded
(msg->msg_state <= HTTP_MSG_BODY). It returns -1 if an error occurs.
* flt_http_data_forwarder: This function returns the filter id that will
forward data for the specified HTTP message. If there is no forwarder set, it
returns -1.
When an HTTP data forwarder is set for the response, the HTTP compression is
disabled. Of course, this is not definitive.
The serial number for a generated certificate was computed using the requested
servername, without any variable/random part. It is not a problem from the
moment it is not regenerated.
But if the cache is disabled or when the certificate is evicted from the cache,
we may need to regenerate it. It is important to not reuse the same serial
number for the new certificate. Else clients (especially browsers) trigger a
warning because 2 certificates issued by the same CA have the same serial
number.
So now, the serial is a static variable initialized with now_ms (internal date
in milliseconds) and incremented at each new certificate generation.
(Ref MPS-2031)
in function 'si_connect', an existing connection is reused (and considered as
established) only when there are some pending data in the output channel.
This can be problem when filters are used, because a filter can choose to not
forward data immediatly. So when we try to initiate a connection to a server,
the output channel can be empty. In this situation, if the connection already
exists, it is not considered as established and nothing happens. If the stream
interface is in the state SI_ST_ASS, this leads to an infinite loop in
process_stream because it remains in this state.
This patch fixes this problem. Now, in 'si_connect', we always reuse an existing
connection, whether or not there are pending data in the output channel.
Usually it's desirable to merge similarly sized pools, which is the
reason why their size is rounded up to the next multiple of 16. But
for the buffers this is problematic because we add the size of
struct buffer to the user-requested size, and the rounding results
in 8 extra bytes that are usable in the end. So the user gets more
bytes than asked for, and in case of SSL it results in short writes
for the extra bytes that are sent above multiples of 16 kB.
So we add a new flag MEM_F_EXACT to request that the size is not
rounded up when creating the entry. Thus it doesn't disable merging.
