We need to check if any compression filter precedes the cache filter. This is
only possible when the compression is configured in the frontend while the cache
filter is configured on the backend (via a cache-store action or
explicitly). This case cannot be detected during HAProxy startup. So in such
cases, the cache is disabled.
The patch must be backported to 1.9.
On legacy HTTP streams, it is forbidden to use the compression with the
cache. When the compression filter is explicitly specified, the detection works
as expected and such configuration are rejected at startup. But it does not work
when the compression filter is implicitly defined. To fix the bug, the implicit
declaration of the compression filter is checked first, before calling .check()
callback of each filters.
This patch should be backported to 1.9.
Since the commit 9666720c8 ("BUG/MEDIUM: compression: Use the right buffer
pointers to compress input data"), the compression can be done twice. The first
time on the frontend and the second time on the backend. This may happen by
configuring the compression in a default section.
To fix the bug, when the response is checked to know if it should be compressed
or not, if the flag HTTP_MSGF_COMPRESSING is set, the compression is not
performed. It means it is already handled by a previous compression filter.
Thanks to Pieter (PiBa-NL) to report this bug.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
Now, h1_shutr() only do a shutdown read and try to set the flag
H1C_F_CS_SHUTDOWN if shutdown write was already performed. On its side,
h1_shutw(), if all conditions are met, do the same for the shutdown write. The
real connection close is done when the mux h1 is released, in h1_release().
The flag H1C_F_CS_SHUTW was renamed to H1C_F_CS_SHUTDOWN to be less ambiguous.
This patch may be backported to 1.9.
In h1_shutr(), to fully close the connection, we must be sure the shutdown write
was already performed on the connection. So we know rely on connection flags
instead of conn_stream flags. If CO_FL_SOCK_WR_SH is already set when h1_shutr()
is called, we can do a full connection close. Otherwise, we just do the shutdown
read.
Without this patch, it is possible to close the connection too early with some
outgoing data in the output buf.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
This script runs two tests. One with "httpchk" over SSL/TLS and another
one with "check-ssl" option. As varnishtest does not support SSL/TLS
we use two haproxy processes to run these tests. h2 haproxy process
be2 and be4 backends declare one server each wich are the frontend
of h1 haproxy process. We check the layer6/7 checks thanks to syslog
messages.

This test verifies the mailers section works properly by checking that
it sends the proper amount of mails when health-checks are changing and
or marking a server up/down
The test currently fails on all versions of haproxy i tried with varying
results:
- 1.9.0 produces thousands of mails.
- 1.8.14 only sends 1 mail, needs a 200ms 'timeout mail' to succeed
- 1.7.11 only sends 1 mail, needs a 200ms 'timeout mail' to succeed
- 1.6 only sends 1 mail, (does not have the 'timeout mail' setting implemented)
The purpose of the "broken" series of reg tests is to integrate scripts
which are known for triggering bugs that are not fixed at the time the
script is merged. These ones are not useful to validate non-regression
after merging a change, but have an important value to help fix the bug
they trigger. This patch updates the description in the Makefile to make
this clearer.
As for the cache applet, this one must respect the reserve on HTX streams. This
patch is tagged as MINOR because it is unlikely to fully fill the channel's
buffer. Some tests are already done to not process almost full buffer.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
It is only true for HTX streams. The legacy code relies on ci_putblk() which is
already aware of the reserve. It is mandatory to not fill the reserve to let
other filters analysing data. It is especially true for the compression
filter. It needs at least 20 bytes of free space, plus at most 5 bytes per 32kB
block. So if the cache fully fills the channel's buffer, the compression will
not have enough space to do its job and it will block the data forwarding,
waiting for more free space. But if the buffer fully filled with input data (ie
no outgoing data), the stream will be frozen infinitely.
This patch must be backported to 1.9. It depends on the following patches:
* BUG/MEDIUM: cache/htx: Respect the reserve when cached objects are served
from the cache
* MINOR: channel/htx: Add HTX version for some helper functions
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.
When a task is created from Lua context out of initialisation,
the hlua_ctx_init() function can be called from safe environement,
so we must not initialise it. While the support of threads appear,
the safe environment set a lock to ensure only one Lua execution
at a time. If we initialize safe environment in another safe
environmenet, we have a dead lock.
this patch adds the support of the idicator "already_safe" whoch
indicates if the context is initialized form safe Lua fonction.
thank to Flakebi for the report
This patch must be backported to haproxy-1.9 and haproxy-1.8
In tcp actions case, the argument n - 1 is returned. For example:
http-request lua.script stuff
display "stuff" as first arg
tcp-request content lua.script stuff
display "lua.script" as first arg
The action parser doesn't use the *cur_arg value.
Thanks to Andy Franks for the bug report.
This patch mist be backported in haproxy-1.8 and haproxy-1.9
The "show sess all" command didn't allow to detect whether compression
is in use for a given stream, which is sometimes annoying. Let's add a
few more info about the HTTP messages, namely the flags, body len, chunk
len and the "next" pointer.
The "waiting" flag indicates if the stream is waiting for some memory,
and was placed on the same output line as the txn for ease of reading.
But since 1.6 the txn is not part of the stream anymore so this output
was placed under a condition, resulting in "waiting" to appear only
when a txn is present. Let's move it upper, closer to the stream's
flags to fix this.
This may safely be backported though it has little value for older
versions.
Commit b9af88151 ("MINOR: stream/htx: Add info about the HTX structs in
"show sess all" command") accidently forgot the flags on the request
path, it was only on the response path.
It makes sense to backport this to 1.9 so that both outputs are the same.
While testing fixes, it's sometimes confusing to rebuild only one C file
(e.g. a mux) and not to have the correct commit ID reported in "haproxy -v"
nor on the stats page.
This patch adds a new "version.c" file which is always rebuilt. It's
very small and contains only 3 variables derived from the various
version strings. These variables are used instead of the macros at the
few places showing the version. This way the output version of the
running code is always correct for the parts that were rebuilt.
This one used to rely on a few spin locks around lists manipulations
only but 1) there were still a few races (e.g. when aborting, or
between STAT_ST_INIT and STAT_ST_LIST), and 2) after last commit
which dumps htx info it became obvious that dereferencing the buffer
contents is not safe at all.
This patch uses the thread isolation from the rendez-vous point
instead, to guarantee that nothing moves during the dump. It may
make the dump a bit slower but it will be 100% safe.
This fix must be backported to 1.9, and possibly to 1.8 which likely
suffers from the short races above, eventhough they're extremely
hard to trigger.
In connect_server(), if we're using a new connection, and we have to
initialize the mux right away, only do it so after si_connect() has been
called. si_connect() is responsible for initializing the xprt, and the
mux initialization may depend on the xprt being usable, as it may try to
receive data. Otherwise, the connection will be flagged as having an error,
and we will have to try to connect a second time.
This should be backported to 1.9.
In h1_init(), instead of calling h1_recv() directly, just wake the tasklet,
so that the receive will be done later.
h1_init() might be called from connect_server(), which is itself called
indirectly from process_stream(), and if the receive fails, we may call
si_cs_process(), which may destroy the channel buffers while process_stream()
still expects them to exist.
This should be backported to 1.9.
When a chunked object is served from the cache, If the trailers are not pushed
in the channel's buffer in one time, we still have to count them in the total
written bytes in the buffer.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
Since the commit 0f8fb6b7f ("MINOR: h1: make the H1 headers block parser able to
parse headers only"), when headers are not received in one time, a parsing error
is returned because the local state in the function h1_headers_to_hdr_list() was
not initialized with the previous one (in fact, it was not initialized at all).
So now, we start the parsing of headers with the state H1_MSG_HDR_FIRST when the
flag H1_MF_HDRS_ONLY is set. Otherwise, we always get it from the h1m.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
For HTX streams, info about the HTX structure is now dumped for the request and
the response channels in "show sess all" command.
The patch may be backported to 1.9.
Now the H2 mux will parse and encode the HTX trailers blocks and send
the corresponding HEADERS frame. Since these blocks contain pure H1
trailers which may be fragmented on line boundaries, if first needs
to collect all of them, parse them using the H1 parser, build a list
and finally encode all of them at once once the EOM is met. Note that
this HEADERS frame always carries the end-of-headers and end-of-stream
flags.
This was tested using the helloworld examples from the grpc project,
as well as with the h2c tools. It doesn't seem possible at the moment
to test tailers using varnishtest though.
Currently the H1 headers parser works for either a request or a response
because it starts from the start line. It is also able to resume its
processing when it was interrupted, but in this case it doesn't update
the list.
Make it support a new flag, H1_MF_HDRS_ONLY so that the caller can
indicate it's only interested in the headers list and not the start
line. This will be convenient to parse H1 trailers.
We want to make sure we won't emit another empty DATA frame if we meet
HTX_BLK_EOM after and end of stream was already sent. For now it cannot
happen as far as HTX is respected, but with trailers it may become
ambiguous.
Recent commit 4710d20 ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h1: make HTX chunking
consistent with H2") tried to address chunking inconsistencies between
H1/HTX/H2 and has enforced it on every outgoing message carrying
H1_MF_XFER_LEN without H1_MF_CLEN nor H1_MF_CHNK. But it also does it
on requests, which is not appropriate since a request by default
doesn't have a message body unless explicitly mentioned. Also make
sure we only do this on HTTP/1.1 messages.
The problem is to guarantee the highest level of compatibility between
H1/H1, H1/H2, H2/H1 in each direction regarding the lack of content-
length. We have this truth table (a star '*' indicates which one can
pass trailers) :
H1 client -> H1 server :
request:
CL=0 TE=0 XL=1 -> CL=0 TE=0
CL=0 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=0 TE=1 *
CL=1 TE=0 XL=1 -> CL=1 TE=0
CL=1 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=1 TE=1 *
response:
CL=0 TE=0 XL=0 -> CL=0 TE=0
CL=0 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=0 TE=1 *
CL=1 TE=0 XL=1 -> CL=1 TE=0
CL=1 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=1 TE=1 *
H2 client -> H1 server : (H2 messages always carry XFER_LEN)
request:
CL=0 XL=1 -> CL=0 TE=0
CL=1 XL=1 -> CL=1 TE=0
response:
CL=0 TE=0 XL=0 -> CL=0
CL=0 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=0 *
CL=1 TE=0 XL=1 -> CL=1
CL=1 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=1 *
H1 client -> H2 server : (H2 messages always carry XFER_LEN)
request:
CL=0 TE=0 XL=1 -> CL=0
CL=0 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=0 *
CL=1 TE=0 XL=1 -> CL=1
CL=1 TE=1 XL=1 -> CL=1 *
response:
CL=0 XL=1 -> CL=0 TE=1 *
CL=1 XL=1 -> CL=1 TE=0
For H1 client to H2 server, it will be possible to rely on the presence
of "TE: trailers" in the H1 request to automatically switch to chunks
in the response, and be able to pass trailers at the end. For now this
check is not implemented so an H2 response missing a content-length to
an H1 request will always have a transfer-encoding header added and
trailers will be forwarded if any.
This patch depends on previous commit "MINOR: mux-h1: parse the
content-length header on output and set H1_MF_CLEN" to work properly.
Since the aforementioned commit is scheduled for backport to 1.9 this
commit must also be backported to 1.9.
The H1_MF_CLEN flag is needed to figure whether a content-length header is
present or not when producing a request, so let's check it on output just
like we already check the transfer-encoding header.
This function is usable to transform a list of H2 header fields to a
HTX trailers block. It takes care of rejecting forbidden headers and
pseudo-headers when performing the conversion. It also emits the
trailing CRLF that is currently needed in the HTX trailers block.
When forwarding an H2 request to an H1 server, if the request doesn't
have a content-length header field, it is chunked. In this case it is
possible to send trailers to the server, which is what this patch does.
If the transfer is performed without chunking, then the trailers are
silently discarded.
This function is usable to transform a list of H2 header fields to a
H1 trailers block. It takes care of rejecting forbidden headers and
pseudo-headers when performing the conversion.
This is not exactly a bug but a long-time design limitation. We used not
to decode trailers in H2, resulting in broken connections each time a
trailer was sent, since it was impossible to keep the HPACK decompressor
synchronized. Now that the sequencing of operations permits it, we must
make sure to at least properly decode them.
What we try to do is to identify if a HEADERS frame was already seen and
use this indication to know if it's a headers or a trailers. For this,
h2c_decode_headers() checks if the stream indicates that a HEADERS frame
was already received. If so, it decodes it and emits the trailing
0 CRLF CRLF in case of H1, or the HTX_EOD + HTX_EOM blocks in case of HTX,
to terminate the data stream.
The trailers contents are still deleted for now but the request works, and
the connection remains synchronized and usable for subsequent streams.
The correctness may be tested using a simple config and h2spec :
h2spec -o 1000 -v -t -S -k -h 127.0.0.1 -p 4443 generic/4/4
This should definitely be backported to 1.9 given the low impact for the
benefit. However it cannot be backported to 1.8 since the operations cannot
be resumed. The following patches are also needed with this one :
MINOR: mux-h2: make h2c_decode_headers() return a status, not a count
MINOR: mux-h2: add a new dummy stream : h2_error_stream
MEDIUM: mux-h2: make h2c_decode_headers() support recoverable errors
BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: detect when the HTX EOM block cannot be added after headers
MINOR: mux-h2: check for too many streams only for idle streams
MINOR: mux-h2: set H2_SF_HEADERS_RCVD when a HEADERS frame was decoded
The HEADERS frame parser checks if we still have too many streams, but
this should only be done for idle streams, otherwise it would prevent
us from processing trailer frames.
In h2c_frt_handle_headers() and h2c_bck_handle_headers() we have an unused
error path made of the strm_err label, while send_rst is used to emit an
RST upon stream error after forcing the stream to h2_refused_stream. Let's
remove this unused strm_err block now.
In h2c_frt_handle_headers(), we test the stream for SS_ERROR just after
setting it to SS_OPEN, this makes no sense and creates confusion in the
error path. Remove this misleading test.
In case we receive a very large HEADERS frame which doesn't leave enough
room to place the EOM block after the decoded headers, we must fail the
stream. This test was missing, resulting in the loss of the EOM, possibly
leaving the stream waiting for a time-out.
Note that we also clear h2c->dfl here so that we don't attempt to clear
it twice when going back to the demux.
If this is backported to 1.9, it also requires that the following patches
are backported as well :
MINOR: mux-h2: make h2c_decode_headers() return a status, not a count
MINOR: mux-h2: add a new dummy stream : h2_error_stream
MEDIUM: mux-h2: make h2c_decode_headers() support recoverable errors
When a decoding error is recoverable, we should emit a stream error and
not a connection error. This patch does this by carefully checking the
connection state before deciding to send a connection error. If only the
stream is in error, an RST_STREAM is sent.
This function used to return a byte count for the output produced, or
zero on failure. Not only this value is not used differently than a
boolean, but it prevents us from returning stream errors when a frame
cannot be extracted because it's too large, or from parsing a frame
and producing nothing on output.
This patch modifies its API to return <0 on errors, 0 on inability to
proceed, or >0 on success, irrelevant to the amount of output data.
The mux h1 mainly depends on the stream to handle errors and timeouts. But,
there is one unhandled case. If a timeout occurred when some outgoing data are
blocked in the output buffer, the stream is detached and the mux waits infinitly
the data are gone before closing the connection. To fix the bug, a task has been
added on the mux to handle connection timeouts. For now, a expiration date is
set only when some outgoing data are blocked. And if a stream is still attached
when the mux's task timed out, an error flag is set on the mux but the
connection is not closed immediatly. We assume the stream will hit the same
timeout just after.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
In the function htx_end_request, the flag SI_FL_NOHALF must be set on the server
side once the request is in the state HTTP_MSG_DONE. But the response state was
checked before and the flag was only set when the response was also in the state
HTTP_MSG_DONE. Of course, it is not desirable.
This patch must be backported to 1.9.
Since a long time, the expiration date of a stream is only updated in
process_stream(). It is calculated, among others, using the channels expiration
dates for reads and writes (.rex and .wex values). But these values are updated
by the stream-interface. So when this happens at the connection layer, the
update is only done if the stream's task is woken up. Otherwise, the stream
expiration date is not immediatly updated. This leads to unexpected
behaviours. Time to time, users reported that the wrong timeout was hitted or
the wrong termination state was reported. This is partly because of this
bug.
Recently, we observed some blocked sessions for a while when big objects are
served from the cache applet. It seems only concern the clients not reading the
response. Because delivered objects are big, not all data can be sent. And
because delivered objects are big, data are fast forwarded (from the input to
the output with no stream wakeup). So in such situation, the stream expiration
date is never updated and no timeout is hitted. The session remains blocked
while the client remains connected.
This bug exists at least since HAProxy 1.5. But recent changes on the connection
layer make it more visible. It must be backported from 1.9 to 1.6. And with more
pain it should be backported to 1.5.
When transfering from H1 to H1, chunking is always indicated by the
presence of the Transfer-encoding header field. But when a message
comes from H2 there is no such header and only HTX_SL_F_XFER_LEN
ought to be relied on. This one will also result in H1_MF_XFER_LEN
to be set, just like transfer-encoding, so let's always rely on
this latter flag to detect the need for chunking (when CLEN is not
here) and automatically add the transfer-encoding header if it was
not present, as reported by H1_MF_CHNK.
This must be backported to 1.9.
