This allocation technically is always reachable and cannot leak, however other
global variables such as `oldpids` are already being freed. This is in an
attempt to get HAProxy to a state where there are zero live allocations after a
clean exit.
Given the following example configuration:
listen http
bind *:80
mode http
stats scope .
Running a configuration check with valgrind reports:
==16341== 26 (24 direct, 2 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3 of 13

==16341== by 0x418248: main (haproxy.c:3012)
After this patch is applied the leak is gone as expected.
This is a very minor leak that can only be observed if deinit() is called,
shortly before the OS will free all memory of the process anyway. No
backport needed.
It initially looked appealing to be able to call traces with ",,," for
unused arguments, but tcc doesn't like empty macro arguments, and quite
frankly, adding a zero between the few remaining ones is no big deal.
Let's do so now.
tcc supports variadic macros provided that there is always at least one
argument, like older gcc versions. Thus we need to always keep one and
define args as the remaining ones. It's not an issue at all and doesn't
change the way to use them, just the internal definitions.
For whatever reason, glibc decided that the __attribute__ keyword is
the exclusive property of gcc, and redefines it to an empty macro on
other compilers. Some non-gcc compilers also support it (possibly
partially), tinycc is one of them. By doing this, glibc silently
broke all constructors, resulting in code that arrives in main() with
uninitialized variables.
The solution we use here consists in undefining the macro on non-gcc
compilers, and redefining it to itself in order to cause a conflict in
the event the redefinition would happen afterwards. This visibly solved
the problem.
Some checks on __GNUC__ imply that if it's undefined it will match a
low value but that's not always what we want, like for example in the
VAR_ARRAY definition which is not needed on tcc. Let's always be explicit
on these tests.
Commit 77b98220e ("BUG/MINOR: threads: work around a libgcc_s issue with
chrooting") tried to address an issue with libgcc_s being loaded too late.
But it turns out that the symbol used there isn't present on armhf, thus
it breaks the build.
Given that the issue manifests itself during pthread_exit(), the safest
and most portable way to test this is to call pthread_exit(). For this
we create a dummy thread which exits, during the early boot. This results
in the relevant library to be loaded if needed, making sure that a later
call to pthread_exit() will still work. It was tested to work fine under
linux on the following platforms:
glibc:
- armhf
- aarch64
- x86_64
- sparc64
- ppc64le
musl:
- mipsel
Just running the code under strace easily shows the call in the dummy
thread, for example here on armhf:
$ strace -fe trace=file ./haproxy -v 2>&1 | grep gcc_s
[pid 23055] open("/lib/libgcc_s.so.1", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
The code was isolated so that it's easy to #ifdef it out if needed.
This should be backported where the patch above is backported (likely
2.0).
The condition in h1_refresh_timeout() seems insufficient to properly
take care of the half-closed timeout, because depending on the ordering
of operations when performing the last send() to a client, the stream
may or may not still be there and we may fail to shrink the client
timeout on our last opportunity to do so.
Here we want to make sure that the timeout is always reduced when the
last chunk was sent and the shutdown completed, regardless of the
presence of a stream or not. This is what this patch does.
This should be backported as far as 2.0, and should fix the issue
reported in #541.
Since 1.8 with commit e8692b41e ("CLEANUP: auth: use the build options list
to report its support"), crypt(3) is always reported as being supported in
"haproxy -vv" because no test on USE_LIBCRYPT is made anymore when
producing the output.
This reintroduces the distinction between with and without USE_LIBCRYPT
in the output by indicating "yes" or "no". It may be backported as far
as 1.8, though the code differs due to a number of include files cleanups.
When the server address is set for the first time, the log message is a bit ugly
because there is no old ip address to report. Thus in the log, we can see :
PX/SRV changed its IP from to A.B.C.D by DNS additional record.
Now, when this happens, "(none)" is reported :
PX/SRV changed its IP from (none) to A.B.C.D by DNS additional record.
This patch may be backported to 2.2.
When a SRV record for an already known server is processed, only the weight is
updated, if not configured to be ignored. It is a problem if the IP address
carried by the associated additional record changes. Because the server IP
address is never renewed.
To fix this bug, If there is an addition record attached to a SRV record, we
always try to set the IP address. If it is the same, no change is
performed. This way, IP changes are always handled.
This patch should fix the issue #841. It must be backported to 2.2.
A SRV record keeps a reference on the corresponding additional record, if
any. But this additional record is also inserted in a separate linked-list into
the dns response. The problems arise when obsolete additional records are
released. The additional records list is purged but the SRV records always
reference these objects, leading to an undefined behavior. Worst, this happens
very quickly because additional records are never renewed. Thus, once received,
an additional record will always expire.
Now, the addtional record are only associated to a SRV record or simply
ignored. And the last version is always used.
This patch helps to fix the issue #841. It must be backported to 2.2.
Commit .gitattributes to the repository to allow GitHub downloads to
properly fill in the SUBVERS and VERDATE files. It also prevents the

No functional change, may be backported everywhere.
This new script tests set-path/replace-path and set-pathq/replace-pathq
rules. It also tests path and pathq sample fetches.
This patch should be backported to 2.2 if corresponding keywords are also
backported.
The pathq sample fetch extract the relative URI of a request, i.e the path with
the query-string, excluding the scheme and the authority, if any. It is pretty
handy to always get a relative URI independently on the HTTP version. Indeed,
while relative URIs are common in HTTP/1.1, in HTTP/2, most of time clients use
absolute URIs.
This patch may be backported to 2.2.
These actions do the same as corresponding "-path" versions except the
query-string is included to the manipulated request path. This means set-pathq
action replaces the path and the query-string and replace-pathq action matches
and replace the path including the query-string.
This patch may be backported to 2.2.
The description of the replace-path action does not reflect what the code
do. When the request path is replaced, the query-string is preserved. But the
documentation stated the query-string is part of the replacement, if any is
present. Most of time, when the doc and the code differ, the code is fixed. But
here, the replace-path action is pretty confusing because the set-path action is
only applied on the path. The query-string is left intact. And the path sample
fetch also ignores the query-string. In addition, the replace-path action is
quite recent. It was added in the 2.2. Thus, exceptionally, the documentation is
fixed instead.
Note that set-pathq and replace-pathq actions and pathq sample fetch will be
added to manipulate the path with the query-string.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
This reverts commit 4b9c0d1fc0.
Actually, the "replace-path" action is ambiguous. "set-path" action preserves
the query-string. The "path" sample fetch does not contain the query-string. But
"replace-path" action is documented to handle the query-string. It is probably
not the expected behavior. So instead of fixing the code, we will fix the
documentation to make "replace-path" action consistent with other parts of the
code. In addition actions and sample fetches to handle the path with the
query-string will be added.
If the commit above is ever backported, this one must be as well.
It was reported in bug #837 that haproxy -s causes a 100% CPU.
However this option does not exist and haproxy must exit with the
usage message.
The parser was not handling the case where -s is not followed by 't' or
'f' which are the only two valid cases.
This bug was introduced by df6c5a ("BUG/MEDIUM: mworker: fix the copy of
options in copy_argv()") which was backported as far as 1.8.
This fix must be backported as far as 1.8.
Ever since the protocols were added in 1.3.13, listeners used to be
started twice:
- once by start_proxies(), which iteratees over all proxies then all
listeners ;
- once by protocol_bind_all() which iterates over all protocols then
all listeners ;
It's a real mess because error reporting is not even consistent, and
more importantly now that some protocols do not appear in regular
proxies (peers, logs), there is no way to retry their binding should
it fail on the last step.
What this patch does is to make sure that listeners are exclusively
started by protocols. The failure to start a listener now causes the
emission of an error indicating the proxy's name (as it used to be
the case per proxy), and retryable failures are silently ignored
during all but last attempts.
The start_proxies() function was kept solely for setting the proxy's
state to READY and emitting the "Proxy started" message and log that
some have likely got used to seeking in their logs.
Similarly to previous commit about ->bind_all(), we have the same
construct for ->unbind_all() which ought not to be used either. Let's
make protocol_unbind_all() iterate over all listeners and directly
call unbind_listener() instead.
It's worth noting that for uxst there was originally a specific
->unbind_all() function but the simplifications that came over the
years have resulted in a locally reimplemented version of the same
function: the test on (state > LI_ASSIGNED) there is equivalent to
the one on (state >= LI_PAUSED) that is used in do_unbind_listener(),
and it seems these have been equivalent since at least commit dabf2e264
("[MAJOR] added a new state to listeners")) (1.3.14).
All protocols only iterate over their own listeners list and start
the listeners using a direct call to their ->bind() function. This
code duplication doesn't make sense and prevents us from centralizing
the startup error handling. Worse, it's not even symmetric because
there's an unbind_all_listeners() function common to all protocols
without any equivalent for binding. Let's start by directly calling
each protocol's bind() function from protocol_bind_all().
Previous commit 77b98220e ("BUG/MINOR: threads: work around a libgcc_s
issue with chrooting") broke the build on cygwin. I didn't even know we
supported threads on cygwin. But the point is that it's actually the
glibc-based libpthread which requires libgcc_s, so in absence of other
reports we should not apply the workaround on other libraries.
This should be backported along with the aforementioned patch.
Sander Hoentjen reported another issue related to libgcc_s in issue #671.
What happens is that when the old process quits, pthread_exit() calls
something from libgcc_s.so after the process was chrooted, and this is
the first call to that library, causing an attempt to load it. In a
chroot, this fails, thus libthread aborts. The behavior widely differs
between operating systems because some decided to use a static build for
this library.
In 2.2 this was resolved as a side effect of a workaround for the same issue
with the backtrace() call, which is also in libgcc_s. This was in commit
0214b45 ("MINOR: debug: call backtrace() once upon startup"). But backtraces
are not necessarily enabled, and we need something for older versions.
By inspecting a significant number of ligcc_s on various gcc versions and
platforms, it appears that a few functions have been present since gcc 3.0,
one of which, _Unwind_Find_FDE() has no side effect (it only returns a
pointer). What this patch does is that in the thread initialization code,
if built with gcc >= 3.0, a call to this function is made in order to make
sure that libgcc_s is loaded at start up time and that there will be no
need to load it upon exit.
An easy way to check which libs are loaded under Linux is :
$ strace -e trace=openat ./haproxy -v
With this patch applied, libgcc_s now appears during init.
Sander confirmed that this patch was enough to put an end to the core
dumps on exit in 2.0, so this patch should be backported there, and maybe
as far as 1.8.
A few regtests continue to regularly fail in highly loaded VMs because
they have very short timeouts. Actually the goal of running with short
timeouts was to make sure we do not uselessly wait during tests designed
to trigger them, but these timeouts here are never supposed to fire at
all, so they don't need to be kept in the 15-20ms range. They do not
pose any issue on any regular machine, but VMs are often suffering from
huge time jumps and cannot always produce responses in that short of a
time.
Just like with commit ce6fc25b1 ("REGTEST: increase timeouts on the
seamless-reload test"), let's raise these short timeouts to 1 second.
A few other ones remain set to 150-200ms and do not seem to cause any
issue. Some are actually expected to trigger so let's not touch them
for now.
In issue #777, cppcheck wrongly assumes a useless null pointer check
in the expression below while it's obvious that in a 3G/1G split on
32-bit, len can become positive if p is NULL:
p = memchr(ctx.value.ptr, ' ', ctx.value.len);
len = p - ctx.value.ptr;
if (!p || len <= 0)
return 0;
In addition, on 64 bits you never know given that len is a 32-bit signed
int thus the sign of the result in case of a null p will always be the
opposite of the 32th bit of ctx.value.ptr. Admittedly the test is ugly.
Tim proposed this fix consisting in checking for p == ctx.value.ptr
instead when checking for first character only, which Ilya confirmed is
enough to shut cppcheck up. No backport is needed.
When we encounter a failure, all previously borrowed references should
be freed. Especially if the program is not failing immediately
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
IP addresses references passed in argument for ps_python are not freed after
they have been used. Leading to a small chance of mem leak if a lot of ip
addresses are passed around
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
The result from spoa evaluation of the user provided python code is
never passed back to the main spoa process nor freed.
Same for the keyword list passed.
This results into the elements never freed by Python as reference count
never goes down.

This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
When calling the http_replace_res_status() function, an optional reason may now
be set. It is ignored if it points to NULL and the original reason is
preserved. Only the response status is replaced. Otherwise both the status and
the reason are replaced.
It simplifies the API and most of time, avoids an extra call to
http_replace_res_reason().
The documentation stated the "replace-path" action replaces the path, including
the query-string if any is present. But in the code, only the path is
replaced. The query-string is preserved. So, now, instead of relying on the same
action code than "set-uri" action (1), a new action code (4) is used for
"replace-path" action. In http_req_replace_stline() function, when the action
code is 4, we call http_replace_req_path() setting the last argument (with_qs)
to 1. This way, the query-string is not skipped but included to the path to be
replaced.
This patch relies on the commit b8ce505c6 ("MINOR: http-htx: Add an option to
eval query-string when the path is replaced"). Both must be backported as far as
2.0. It should fix the issue #829.
The http_replace_req_path() function now takes a third argument to evaluate the
query-string as part of the path or to preserve it. If <with_qs> is set, the
query-string is replaced with the path. Otherwise, only the path is replaced.
This patch is mandatory to fix issue #829. The next commit depends on it. So be
carefull during backports.
When an informational response (1xx) is received, we must be sure to send it
ASAP. To do so, CF_SEND_DONTWAIT flag must be set on the response channel to
instruct the stream-interface to not set the CO_SFL_MSG_MORE flag on the
transport layer. Otherwise the response delivery may be delayed, because of the
commit 8945bb6c0 ("BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int: fix loss of CO_SFL_MSG_MORE flag in
forwarding").
Note that a previous patch (cf6898cd ["BUG/MINOR: http-ana: Don't wait to send
1xx responses generated by HAProxy"]) add this flag on 1xx responses generated
by HAProxy but not on responses coming from servers.
This patch must be backported to 2.2 and may be backported as far as 1.9, for
HTX part only. But this part has changed in the 2.2, so it may be a bit
tricky. Note it does not fix any known bug on 2.1 and below because the
CO_SFL_MSG_MORE flag is ignored by the h1 mux.
Commit 0d06df6 ("MINOR: sock: introduce sock_inet and sock_unix")
made use of isdigit() on the UNIX socket path without casting the
value to unsigned char, breaking the build on cygwin and possibly
other platforms. No backport is needed.
For now we still don't retrieve dgram sockets, but the code must be able
to distinguish them before we switch to receivers. This adds a new flag
to the xfer_sock_list indicating that a socket is of type SOCK_DGRAM. The
way to set the flag for now is by looking at the dummy address family which
equals AF_CUST_UDP{4,6} in this case (given that other dgram sockets are not
yet supported).
We'll want to store more info there and some info that are not represented
in listener options at the moment (such as dgram vs stream) so let's get
rid of these and instead use a new set of options (SOCK_XFER_OPT_*).
The new function was called sock_get_old_sockets() and was left as-is
except a minimum amount of style lifting to make it more readable. It
will never be awesome anyway since it's used very early in the boot
sequence and needs to perform socket I/O without any external help.
This code was highly redundant, existing for TCP clients, TCP servers
and UDP servers. Let's move it to sock_inet where it belongs. The new
functions are sock_inet4_make_foreign() and sock_inet6_make_foreign().
This is essentially a merge from tcp_find_compatible_fd() and
uxst_find_compatible_fd() that relies on a listener's address and
compare function and still checks for other variations. For AF_INET6
it compares a few of the listener's bind options. A minor change for
UNIX sockets is that transparent mode, interface and namespace used
to be ignored when trying to pick a previous socket while now if they
are changed, the socket will not be reused. This could be refined but
it's still better this way as there is no more risk of using a
differently bound socket by accident.
Eventually we should not pass a listener there but a set of binding
parameters (address, interface, namespace etc...) which ultimately will
be grouped into a receiver. For now this still doesn't exist so let's
stick to the listener to break dependencies in the rest of the code.
