SOL_IPV6 is not defined on OSX, breaking the compile. Also libcrypt is
not available for installation neither in Macports nor as a Brew recipe,
so we're disabling implicit dependancy.

Introduction of a new CLI command "set server <srv> check-port <port>' to
allow admins to change a server's health check port at run time.
This changes the equivalent of the configuration server parameter
called 'port'.
Today I was working on an auto-update script for some ACLs, and found
that I couldn't load ACL entries with a semi-colon in them no matter
how I tried to escape it.
As such, I wrote this patch (this one is for 1.7dev, but it applies to
1.5 the same with just line numbers changed), which seems to allow me
to execute a command such as "add acl /etc/foo.lst foo\;bar" over the
socket. It's worth noting that stats_sock_parse_request() already uses
the backslash to escape spaces in words so it makes sense to use it as
well to escape the semi-colon.
A typo resulting from a copy-paste in the original req.ssl_ver code will
make certain SSLv2 hello messages not properly detected. The bug has been
present since the code was added in 1.3.16. In 1.3 and 1.4, this code was
in proto_tcp.c. In 1.5-dev0, it moved to acl.c, then later to payload.c.
This bug was tagged "minor" because SSLv2 is outdated and this encoding
was rarely (if at all) used, the shorter form starting with 0x80 being
more common.
This fix needs to be backported to all currently maintained branches.
In dns_send_query(), ret was set to 0 but always reassigned before the
usage so this initialisation was useless.
The send_error variable was created, assigned to 0 but never used. So
this variable is just useless by itself. Removing it.
In dump_servers_state(), srv_time_since_last_change, bk_f_forced_id, srv_f_forced_id variables
were firstly set to zero and immediately reassigned to another value while never been accessed in between.
Sounds like a useless initiazation. So let's make only the useful allocation.
Bartosz Koninski reported that recent commit 568743a ("BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int:
completely detach connection on connect error") introduced a nasty side effect
during the connection retry, causing a reconnect attempt to be performed on a
random address, possibly another server from another backend as shown in his
reproducer.
The real reason is in fact that by calling si_release_endpoint() after a
failed connect attempt and not clearing the SN_ADDR_SET flag on the
stream, we indicate that we continue to trust the connection's current
address. So upon next connect attempt, a connection is picked from the
pool and the last target address is reused. It is not very easy to
reproduce it 100% reliably out of production traffic, but it's easier to
see when haproxy is started with -dM to force the pools to be filled with
junk, and where subsequent connections are not even attempted due to their
family being incorrect.
The correct fix consists in clearing the SN_ADDR_SET flag after calling
si_release_endpoint() during a retry. But it outlines a deeper issue which
is in fact that the target address is *stored* in the connection and its
validity is stored in the stream. Until we have a better solution to store
target addresses, it would be better to rely on the connection flags
(CO_FL_ADDR_TO_SET) for this purpose. But it also outlines the fact that
the same issue still exists in Lua sockets and in idle sockets, which
fortunately are not affected by this issue.
Thanks to Bartosz for providing all the elements needed to understand the
problem.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
Trie now uses a dataset structure just like Pattern, so this has been
defined in includes/types/global.h for both Pattern and Trie where it
was just Pattern.
In src/51d.c all functions used by the Trie implementation which need a
dataset as an argument now use the global dataset. The
fiftyoneDegreesDestroy method has now been replaced with
fiftyoneDegreesDataSetFree which is common to Pattern and Trie. In
addition, two extra dataset init status' have been added to the switch
statement in init_51degrees.
A few log format fields were declared but never used, so let's drop
them, the whole list is confusing enough already :
LOG_FMT_VARIABLE, LOG_FMT_T, LOG_FMT_CONN, LOG_FMT_QUEUES.
Tq is the time between the instant the connection is accepted and a
complete valid request is received. This time includes the handshake
(SSL / Proxy-Protocol), the idle when the browser does preconnect and
the request reception.
This patch decomposes %Tq in 3 measurements names %Th, %Ti, and %TR
which returns respectively the handshake time, the idle time and the
duration of valid request reception. It also adds %Ta which reports
the request's active time, which is the total time without %Th nor %Ti.
It replaces %Tt as the total time, reporting accurate measurements for
HTTP persistent connections.
%Th is avalaible for TCP and HTTP sessions, %Ti, %TR and %Ta are only
avalaible for HTTP connections.
In addition to this, we have new timestamps %tr, %trg and %trl, which
log the date of start of receipt of the request, respectively in the
default format, in GMT time and in local time (by analogy with %t, %T
and %Tl). All of them are obviously only available for HTTP. These values
are more relevant as they more accurately represent the request date
without being skewed by a browser's preconnect nor a keep-alive idle
time.
The HTTP log format and the CLF log format have been modified to
use %tr, %TR, and %Ta respectively instead of %t, %Tq and %Tt. This
way the default log formats now produce the expected output for users
who don't want to manually fiddle with the log-format directive.
Example with the following log-format :
log-format "%ci:%cp [%tr] %ft %b/%s h=%Th/i=%Ti/R=%TR/w=%Tw/c=%Tc/r=%Tr/a=%Ta/t=%Tt %ST %B %CC %CS %tsc %ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc %sq/%bq %hr %hs %{+Q}r"
The request was sent by hand using "openssl s_client -connect" :
Aug 23 14:43:20 haproxy[25446]: 127.0.0.1:45636 [23/Aug/2016:14:43:20.221] test~ test/test h=6/i=2375/R=261/w=0/c=1/r=0/a=262/t=2643 200 145 - - ---- 1/1/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1"
=> 6 ms of SSL handshake, 2375 waiting before sending the first char (in
fact the time to type the first line), 261 ms before the end of the request,
no time spent in queue, 1 ms spend connecting to the server, immediate
response, total active time for this request = 262ms. Total time from accept
to close : 2643 ms.
The timing now decomposes like this :

- MAJOR: listen section: don't use first bind port anymore when no server ports are provided
Up to HAProxy 1.7-dev3, HAProxy used to use the first bind port from it's
local 'listen' section when no port is configured on the server.
IE, in the configuration below, the server port would be 25:
listen smtp
bind :25
server s1 1.0.0.1 check
This way of working is now obsolete and can be removed, furthermore it is not
documented!
This will make the possibility to change the server's port much easier.
The function ipcpy() simply duplicates the IP address found in one
struct sockaddr_storage into an other struct sockaddr_storage.
It also update the family on the destination structure.
Memory of destination structure must be allocated and cleared by the
caller.
Bryan Talbot reported a very interesting bug. The sc_trackers() sample
fetch seems to have escaped the sanitization that was performed during 1.5
to ensure all dereferences of stkctr_entry() were safe. Here if a tacker
is set on a backend and is then checked against a different backend where
the entry doesn't exist, stkctr_entry() returns NULL and this is dereferenced
to retrieve the ref count. Thanks to Bryan for his detailed bug report featuring
a working config and reproducer.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
After pushing the last update related to a resync process, the teacher resets
the re-connection's origin to the saved one (pointer position when he receive
the resync request). But the last acknowledgement overwrites this pointer to
an inconsistent value. In peersv2, it results with empty table chunks
regularly pushed.
The fix consist to move the confirm code to assure that the confirm message is
always sent after the last acknowledgement related to the resync. And to reset
the re-connection's origin to the saved one when a confirm message is received.
This bug affects versions 1.6 and superior.
For older versions (peersv1), this inconsistent state should not generate side
effects because chunks are not used and a next acknowlegement message resets
the pointer in a valid state.
Adding on to Thierry's work (http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy.git;h=6310bef5)
I have added a few more fetchers for counters based on the tcp_info struct
maintained by the kernel :
fc_unacked, fc_sacked, fc_retrans, fc_fackets, fc_lost,
fc_reordering
Two fields were not added because they're version-dependant :
fc_rcv_rtt, fc_total_retrans
The fields name depend on the operating system. FreeBSD and NetBSD prefix
all the field names with "__" so we have to rely on a few #ifdef for
portability.
Clang reports that this function is not used :
src/ev_poll.c:34:28: warning: unused function 'hap_fd_isset' [-Wunused-function]
static inline unsigned int hap_fd_isset(int fd, unsigned int *evts)
It's been true since the rework of the pollers in 1.5 and it's unlikely we'll
ever need it anymore, so better remove it now to provide clean builds.
This fix can be backported to 1.6 and 1.5 now.
This warning appears when building without any compression library :
src/compression.c:143:19: warning: unused function 'init_comp_ctx' [-Wunused-function]
static inline int init_comp_ctx(struct comp_ctx **comp_ctx)
^
src/compression.c:176:19: warning: unused function 'deinit_comp_ctx' [-Wunused-function]
static inline int deinit_comp_ctx(struct comp_ctx **comp_ctx)
No backport is needed.
FreeBSD prefers to use IPPROTO_TCP over SOL_TCP, just like it does
with their *_IP counterparts. It's worth noting that there are a few
inconsistencies between SOL_TCP and IPPROTO_TCP in the code, eg on
TCP_QUICKACK. The two values are the same but it's worth applying
what implementations recommend.
No backport is needed, this was uncovered by the recent tcp_info stuff.
OpenBSD emits warnings on usages of strcpy, strcat and sprintf (and
probably a few others). Here we have a single such warning in all the code
reintroduced by commit 0ba0e4a ("MEDIUM: Support sending email alerts") in
1.6-dev1. Let's get rid of it, the open-coding of strcat is as small as its
usage and the the result is even more efficient.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6.
Recent commit 93b227d ("MINOR: listener: add the "accept-netscaler-cip"
option to the "bind" keyword") introduced an include of netinet/ip.h
which requires in_systm.h on OpenBSD. No backport is needed.
On OpenBSD, netinet/ip.h fails unless in_systm.h is included. This
include was added by the silent-drop feature introduced with commit
2d392c2 ("MEDIUM: tcp: add new tcp action "silent-drop"") in 1.6-dev6,
but we don't need it, IP_TTL is defined in netinet/in.h, so let's drop
this useless include.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6.
The following commit merged into 1.6-dev6 broke the build on OpenBSD :
609ac2a ("MEDIUM: log: replace sendto() with sendmsg() in __send_log()")
Including sys/uio.h is enough to fix this. This fix needs to be backported
to 1.6.
Building 1.6 and above on OpenBSD 5.2 fails due to protocol.c not
including sys/types.h before sys/socket.h :
In file included from src/protocol.c:14:
/usr/include/sys/socket.h:162: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'u_int8_t'
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6.
This bug is due to a copy/paste error and was introduced
with peers-protocol v2:
The last_pushed pointer was not correctly reset to the teaching_origin at
the end of the teaching state but to the first update present in the tree.
The result: some updates were re-pushed after leaving the teaching state.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.6.
It is sometimes needed in application server environments to easily tell
if a source is local to the machine or a remote one, without necessarily
knowing all the local addresses (dhcp, vrrp, etc). Similarly in transparent
proxy configurations it is sometimes desired to tell the difference between
local and remote destination addresses.
This patch adds two new sample fetch functions for this :
dst_is_local : boolean
Returns true if the destination address of the incoming connection is local
to the system, or false if the address doesn't exist on the system, meaning
that it was intercepted in transparent mode. It can be useful to apply
certain rules by default to forwarded traffic and other rules to the traffic
targetting the real address of the machine. For example the stats page could
be delivered only on this address, or SSH access could be locally redirected.
Please note that the check involves a few system calls, so it's better to do
it only once per connection.
src_is_local : boolean
Returns true if the source address of the incoming connection is local to the
system, or false if the address doesn't exist on the system, meaning that it
comes from a remote machine. Note that UNIX addresses are considered local.
It can be useful to apply certain access restrictions based on where the
client comes from (eg: require auth or https for remote machines). Please
note that the check involves a few system calls, so it's better to do it only
once per connection.
There's no point in always duplicating the sample, just ensure it's
writable, as was done prior to the smp_dup() change. This should be
backported to 1.6 to avoid a performance regression caused by this
change (about 30% more time for upper/lower due to the copy).
The binary sample to stick-table key conversion is wrong. It doesn't
check that the binary sample is writable before padding it. After a
quick audit, it doesn't look like any existing sample fetch function
can trigger this bug. The correct fix consists in calling smp_make_rw()
prior to padding the sample.
This fix should be backported to 1.6.
When a stick-table key is derived from a string-based sample, it checks
if it's properly zero-terminated otherwise tries to do so. But the test
doesn't work for two reasons :
- the reported allocated size may be zero while the sample is maked as
not CONST (eg: certain sample fetch functions like smp_fetch_base()
do this), so smp_dup() prior to the recent changes will fail on this.
- the string might have been converted from a binary sample, where the
trailing zero is not appended. If the sample was writable, smp_dup()
would not modify it either and we would fail again here. This may
happen with req.payload or req.body_param for example.
The correct solution consists in calling smp_make_safe() to ensure the
sample is usable as a valid string.
This fix must be backported to 1.6.
The "sni" server directive does some bad stuff on many occasions because
it works on a sample of type string and limits len to size-1 by hand. The
problem is that size used to be zero on many occasions before the recent
changes to smp_dup() and that it effectively results in setting len to -1
and writing the zero byte *before* the string (and not terminating the
string).
This patch makes use of the recently introduced smp_make_safe() to address
this issue.
This fix must be backported to 1.6.
At some places, smp_dup() is inappropriately called to ensure a modification
is possible while in fact we only need to ensure the sample may be modified
in place. Let's provide smp_is_rw() to check for this capability and
smp_make_rw() to perform the smp_dup() when it is not the case.
Note that smp_is_rw() will also try to add the trailing zero on strings when
needed if possible, to avoid a useless duplication.
These functions ensure that the designated sample is "safe for use",
which means that its size is known, its length is correct regarding its
size, and that strings are properly zero-terminated.
smp_is_safe() only checks (and optionally sets the trailing zero when
needed and possible). smp_make_safe() will call smp_dup() after
smp_is_safe() fails.
Vedran Furac reported a strange problem where the "base" sample fetch
would not always work for tracking purposes.
In fact, it happens that commit bc8c404 ("MAJOR: stick-tables: use sample
types in place of dedicated types") merged in 1.6 exposed a fundamental
bug related to the way samples use chunks as strings. The problem is that
chunks convey a base pointer, a length and an optional size, which may be
zero when unknown or when the chunk is allocated from a read-only location.
The sole purpose of this size is to know whether or not the chunk may be
appended new data. This size cause some semantics issue in the sample,
which has its own SMP_F_CONST flag to indicate read-only contents.
The problem was emphasized by the commit above because it made use of new
calls to smp_dup() to convert a sample to a table key. And since smp_dup()
would only check the SMP_F_CONST flag, it would happily return read-write
samples indicating size=0.
So some tests were added upon smp_dup() return to ensure that the actual
length is smaller than size, but this in fact made things even worse. For
example, the "sni" server directive does some bad stuff on many occasions
because it limits len to size-1 and effectively sets it to -1 and writes
the zero byte before the beginning of the string!
It is therefore obvious that smp_dup() needs to be modified to take this
nature of the chunks into account. It's not enough but is needed. The core
of the problem comes from the fact that smp_dup() is called for 5 distinct
needs which are not always fulfilled :
1) duplicate a sample to keep a copy of it during some operations
2) ensure that the sample is rewritable for a converter like upper()
3) ensure that the sample is terminated with a \0
4) set a correct size on the sample
5) grow the sample in case it was extracted from a partial chunk
Case 1 is not used for now, so we can ignore it. Case 2 indicates the wish
to modify the sample, so its R/O status must be removed if any, but there's
no implied requirement that the chunk becomes larger. Case 3 is used when
the sample has to be made compatible with libc's str* functions. There's no
need to make it R/W nor to duplicate it if it is already correct. Case 4
can happen when the sample's size is required (eg: before performing some
changes that must fit in the buffer). Case 5 is more or less similar but
will happen when the sample by be grown but we want to ensure we're not
bound by the current small size.
So the proposal is to have different functions for various operations. One
will ensure a sample is safe for use with str* functions. Another one will
ensure it may be rewritten in place. And smp_dup() will have to perform an
inconditional duplication to guarantee at least #5 above, and implicitly
all other ones.
This patch only modifies smp_dup() to make the duplication inconditional. It
is enough to fix both the "base" sample fetch and the "sni" server directive,
and all use cases in general though not always optimally. More patches will
follow to address them more optimally and even better than the current
situation (eg: avoid a dup just to add a \0 when possible).
The bug comes from an ambiguous design, so its roots are old. 1.6 is affected
and a backport is needed. In 1.5, the function already existed but was only
used by two converters modifying the data in place, so the bug has no effect
there.
For quite some time, a few users have been experiencing random crashes
when compressing with zlib, from versions 1.2.3 to 1.2.8 included.
Upon thourough investigation in zlib's deflate.c, it appeared obvious
that avail_in and next_in are used during the flush operation and need
to be initialized, while admittedly it's not obvious in the documentation.
By simply forcing both values to -1 it's possible to immediately reproduce
the exact crash that these users have been experiencing :

Note that for all reports deflate_flush_or_finish() was always involved.
The crash is very hard to reproduce when using regular traffic because it
requires that the combination of avail_in and next_in are inadequate so
that the memcpy() call reads out of bounds. But this can very likely
happen when the input buffer points to an area reused by another stream
when the flush has been interrupted due to a full output buffer. This
also explains why this report is recent, as dynamic buffer allocation
was introduced in 1.6.
Anyway it's not acceptable to call a function with a randomly set input
buffer. The deflate() function explicitly checks for the case where both
avail_in and next_in are null and doesn't use it in this case during a
flush, so this is the best solution.
Special thanks to Sasha Litvak, James Hartshorn and Paul Bauer for
reporting very useful stack traces which were critical to finding the
root cause of this bug.
This fix must be backported into 1.6 and 1.5, though 1.5 is less likely to
trigger this case given that it keeps its own buffers allocated all along
the session's life.
Tim Butler reported a troubling issue affecting all versions since 1.5.
When a connection error occurs and a retry is performed on the same server,
the server connection first goes into the turn-around state (SI_ST_TAR) for
one second. During this time, the client may speak and try to push some
data. The tests in place confirm that the stream interface is in a state
<= SI_ST_EST and that a connection exists, so all ingredients are present
to try to perform a send() to forward data. The send() cannot be performed
since the connection's control layer is marked as not ready, but the
polling flags are changed, and due to the remaining error flag present
on the connection, the polling on the FD is disabled in both directions.
But if this FD was reassigned to another connection in the mean time, it
is this FD which is disabled, and it causes a timeout on another connection.
A configuration allowing to reproduce the issue looks like this :
listen test
bind :8003
server s1 127.0.0.1:8001 # this one should be closed
listen victim
bind :8002
server s1 127.0.0.1:8000 # this one should respond slowly (~50ms)
Two parallel injections should be run with short time-outs (100ms). After
some time, some dead connections will appear in listener "victim" due to
their I/Os being disabled by some of the failed transfers on "test"
instance. These ones will only be flushed on time out. A dead connection
looks like this :

The solution against this issue is to completely detach the connection upon
error instead of only performing a forced close.
This fix should be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
Special thanks to Tim who did all the troubleshooting work and provided a
lot of traces allowing to find the root cause of this problem.
Somme HTTP manipulation functions are executed without valid and parsed
requests or responses. This causes a segmentation fault when the executed
code tries to change an empty buffer.
This patch must be backported in the 1.6 version
The functions "req_replace_value()" and "res_replace_value()"
doesn't exists in the 1.6 version. There inherited from the 1.6dev.
This patch must be backported in 1.6 version
This patch adds 4 new sample fetches which returns the RTT of the
established connexion and the RTT variance. The established connection
can be between the client and HAProxy, and between HAProxy and the
server. This is very useful for statistics. A great use case is the
estimation of the TCP connection time of the client. Note that the
RTT of the server side is not so interesting because we already have
the connect() time.
In function lf_text_len(), we used escape_chunk() to escape special
characters. There could be a problem if len is greater than the real src
string length (zero-terminated), eg. when calling lf_text_len() from
lf_text().
Similar to "escape_chunk", this function tries to prefix all characters
tagged in the <map> with the <escape> character. The specified <string>
contains the input to be escaped.
Ruoshan Huang found that the call to session_inc_http_err_ctr() in the
recent http-response patch was not a good idea because it also increments
counters that are already tracked (eg: http-request track-sc or previous
http-response track-sc). Better open-code the update, it's simple.
This enables tracking of sticky counters from current response. The only
difference from "http-request track-sc" is the <key> sample expression
can only make use of samples in response (eg. res.*, status etc.) and
samples below Layer 6.
If an action wrapper stops the processing of the transaction
with a txn_done() function, the return code of the action is
"continue". So the continue can implies the processing of other
like adding headers. However, the HTTP content is flushed and
a segfault occurs.
This patchs add a flag indicating that the Lua code want to
stop the processing, ths flags is forwarded to the haproxy core,
and other actions are ignored.
Must be backported in 1.6
