Introduction of a DNS response LRU cache in HAProxy.
When a positive response is received from a DNS server, HAProxy stores
it in the struct resolution and then also populates a LRU cache with the
response.
For now, the key in the cache is a XXHASH64 of the hostname in the
domain name format concatened to the query type in string format.
Prior this patch, the DNS responses were stored in a pre-allocated
memory area (allocated at HAProxy's startup).
The problem is that this memory is erased for each new DNS responses
received and processed.
This patch removes the global memory allocation (which was not thread
safe by the way) and introduces a storage of the dns response in the
struct
resolution.
The memory in the struct resolution is also reserved at start up and is
thread safe, since each resolution structure will have its own memory
area.
For now, we simply store the response and use it atomically per
response per server.
In the process of breaking links between dns_* functions and other
structures (mainly server and a bit of resolution), the function
dns_get_ip_from_response needs to be reworked: it now can call
"callback" functions based on resolution's owner type to allow modifying
the way the response is processed.
For now, main purpose of the callback function is to check that an IP
address is not already affected to an element of the same type.
For now, only server type has a callback.
This patch introduces a some re-organisation around the DNS code in
HAProxy.
1. make the dns_* functions less dependent on 'struct server' and 'struct resolution'.
With this in mind, the following changes were performed:
- 'struct dns_options' has been removed from 'struct resolution' (well,
we might need it back at some point later, we'll see)
==> we'll use the 'struct dns_options' from the owner of the resolution
- dns_get_ip_from_response(): takes a 'struct dns_options' instead of
'struct resolution'
==> so the caller can pass its own dns options to get the most
appropriate IP from the response
- dns_process_resolve(): struct dns_option is deduced from new
resolution->requester_type parameter
2. add hostname_dn and hostname_dn_len into struct server
In order to avoid recomputing a server's hostname into its domain name
format (and use a trash buffer to store the result), it is safer to
compute it once at configuration parsing and to store it into the struct
server.
In the mean time, the struct resolution linked to the server doesn't
need anymore to store the hostname in domain name format. A simple
pointer to the server one will make the trick.
The function srv_alloc_dns_resolution() properly manages everything for
us: memory allocation, pointer updates, etc...
3. move resolvers pointer into struct server
This patch makes the pointer to struct dns_resolvers from struct
dns_resolution obsolete.
Purpose is to make the resolution as "neutral" as possible and since the
requester is already linked to the resolvers, then we don't need this
information anymore in the resolution itself.
A couple of new functions to allocate and free memory for a DNS
resolution structure. Main purpose is to to make the code related to DNS
more consistent.
They allocate or free memory for the structure itself. Later, if needed,
they should also allocate / free the buffers, etc, used by this structure.
They don't set/unset any parameters, this is the role of the caller.
This patch also implement calls to these function eveywhere it is
required.
The default len of request uri in log messages is 1024. In some use
cases, you need to keep the long trail of GET parameters. The only
way to increase this len is to recompile with DEFINE=-DREQURI_LEN=2048.
This commit introduces a tune.http.logurilen configuration directive,
allowing to tune this at runtime.
Adding Type=forking in the unit file ensure better monitoring from
systemd. During a systemctl start the tool is able to return an error if
it didn't work with this option.
This patch ensure that the children will exit when the master quits,
even if the master didn't send any signal.
The master and the workers are connected through a pipe, when the pipe
closes the children leave.
This option exits every workers when one of the current workers die.
It allows you to monitor the master process in order to relaunch
everything on a failure.
For example it can be used with systemd and Restart=on-failure in a spec
file.
In master worker mode, you can't specify the stats socket where you get
your listeners FDs on a reload, because the command line of the re-exec
is launched by the master.
To solve the problem, when -x is found on the command line, its
parameter is rewritten on a reexec with the first stats socket with the
capability to send sockets. It tries to reuse the original parameter if
it has this capability.
In Master Worker mode, when the reloading of the configuration fail,
the process is exiting leaving the children without their father.
To handle this, we register an exit function with atexit(3), which is
reexecuting the binary in a special mode. This particular mode of
HAProxy don't reload the configuration, it only loops on wait().
The master-worker will reload itself on SIGUSR2/SIGHUP
It's inherited from the systemd wrapper, when the SIGUSR2 signal is
received, the master process will reexecute itself with the -sf flag
followed by the PIDs of the children.
In the systemd wrapper, the children were using a pipe to notify when
the config has been parsed and when the new process is ready. The goal
was to ensure that the process couldn't reload during the parsing of the
configuration, before signals were send to old process.
With the new mworker model, the master parses the configuration and is
aware of all the children. We don't need a pipe, but we need to block
those signals before the end of a reload, to ensure that the process
won't be killed during a reload.
The SIGUSR1 signal is forwarded to the children to soft-stop HAProxy.
The SIGTERM and SIGINT signals are forwarded to the children in order to
terminate them.
This commit remove the -Ds systemd mode in HAProxy in order to replace
it by a more generic master worker system. It aims to replace entirely
the systemd wrapper in the near future.
The master worker mode implements a new way of managing HAProxy
processes. The master is in charge of parsing the configuration
file and is responsible for spawning child processes.
The master worker mode can be invoked by using the -W flag. It can be
used either in background mode (-D) or foreground mode. When used in
background mode, the master will fork to daemonize.
In master worker background mode, chroot, setuid and setgid are done in
each child rather than in the master process, because the master process
will still need access to filesystem to reload the configuration.
This patch adds the support of a maximum of 32 engines
in async mode.
Some tests have been done using 2 engines simultaneously.
This patch also removes specific 'async' attribute from the connection
structure. All the code relies only on Openssl functions.
ssl-mode-async is a global configuration parameter which enables
asynchronous processing in OPENSSL for all SSL connections haproxy
handles. With SSL_MODE_ASYNC set, TLS I/O operations may indicate a
retry with SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC with this mode set if an asynchronous
capable engine is used to perform cryptographic operations. Currently
async mode only supports one async-capable engine.
This is the latest version of the patchset which includes Emeric's
updates :
- improved async fd cleaning when openssl reports an fd to delete
- prevent conn_fd_handler from calling SSL_{read,write,handshake} until
the async fd is ready, as these operations are very slow and waste CPU
- postpone of SSL_free to ensure the async operation can complete and
does not cause a dereference a released SSL.
- proper removal of async fd from the fdtab and removal of the unused async
flag.
This patch adds the global 'ssl-engine' keyword. First arg is an engine
identifier followed by a list of default_algorithms the engine will
operate.
If the openssl version is too old, an error is reported when the option
is used.
When HAProxy is running with multiple processes and some listeners
arebound to processes, the unused sockets were not closed in the other
processes. The aim was to be able to send those listening sockets using
the -x option.
However to ensure the previous behavior which was to close those
sockets, we provided the "no-unused-socket" global option.
This patch changes this behavior, it will close unused sockets which are
not in the same process as an expose-fd socket, making the
"no-unused-socket" option useless.
The "no-unused-socket" option was removed in this patch.
This patch changes the stats socket rights for allowing the sending of
listening sockets.
The previous behavior was to allow any unix stats socket with admin
level to send sockets. It's not possible anymore, you have to set this
option to activate the socket sending.
Example:
stats socket /var/run/haproxy4.sock mode 666 expose-fd listeners level user process 4
The current level variable use only 2 bits for storing the 3 access
level (user, oper and admin).
This patch add a bitmask which allows to use the remaining bits for
other usage.
In the case of a Lua sample-fetch or converter doesn't return any
value, an acces outside the Lua stack can be performed. This patch
check the stack size before converting the top value to a HAProxy
internal sample.
A workaround consist to check that a value value is always returned
with sample fetches and converters.
This patch should be backported in the version 1.6 and 1.7
Add "b64dec" as a new converter which can be used to decode a base64
encoded string into its binary representation. It performs the inverse
operation of the "base64" converter.
Some DNS related network sockets were closed without unregistering their file
descriptors from their underlying kqueue event sets. This patch replaces calls to
close() by fd_delete() calls to that to delete such events attached to DNS
network sockets from the kqueue before closing the sockets.
The bug was introduced by commit 26c6eb8 ("BUG/MAJOR: dns: restart sockets
after fork()") which was backported in 1.7 so this fix has to be backported
there as well.
Thanks to Jim Pingle who reported it and indicated the faulty commit, and
to Lukas Tribus for the trace showing the bad file descriptor.
In haproxy < 1.8, no-sslv3/no-tlsv1x are ignored when force-sslv3/force-tlsv1x
is used (without warning). With this patch, no-sslv3/no-tlsv1x are ignored when
ssl-min-ver or ssl-max-ver is used (with warning).
When all SSL/TLS versions are disable: generate an error, not a warning.
example: ssl-min-ver TLSV1.3 (or force-tlsv13) with a openssl <= 1.1.0.
'ssl-min-ver' and 'ssl-max-ver' with argument SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2
or TLSv1.3 limit the SSL negotiation version to a continuous range. ssl-min-ver
and ssl-max-ver should be used in replacement of no-tls* and no-sslv3. Warning
and documentation are set accordingly.
Plan is to add min-tlsxx max-tlsxx configuration, more consistent than no-tlsxx.
Find the real min/max versions (openssl capabilities and haproxy configuration)
and generate warning with bad versions range.
'no-tlsxx' can generate 'holes':
"The list of protocols available can be further limited using the SSL_OP_NO_X
options of the SSL_CTX_set_options or SSL_set_options functions. Clients should
avoid creating 'holes' in the set of protocols they support, when disabling a
protocol, make sure that you also disable either all previous or all subsequent
protocol versions. In clients, when a protocol version is disabled without
disabling all previous protocol versions, the effect is to also disable all
subsequent protocol versions."
To not break compatibility, "holes" is authorized with warning, because openssl
1.1.0 and boringssl deal with it (keep the upper or lower range depending the
case and version).
Plan is to add min-tlsxx max-tlsxx configuration, more consistent than no-tlsxx.
This patch introduce internal min/max and replace force-tlsxx implementation.
SSL method configuration is store in 'struct tls_version_filter'.
SSL method configuration to openssl setting is abstract in 'methodVersions' table.
With openssl < 1.1.0, SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version is used for force (min == max).
With openssl >= 1.1.0, SSL_CTX_set_min/max_proto_version is used.
Plan is to add min-tlsxx max-tlsxx configuration, more consistent than no-tlsxx.
min-tlsxx and max-tlsxx can be overwrite on local definition. This directives
should be the only ones needed in default-server.
To simplify next patches (rework of tls versions settings with min/max) all
ssl/tls version settings relative to default-server are reverted first:
remove: 'sslv3', 'tls*', 'no-force-sslv3', 'no-force-tls*'.
remove from default-server: 'no-sslv3', 'no-tls*'.
Note:
. force-tlsxx == min-tlsxx + max-tlsxx : would be ok in default-server.
. no-tlsxx is keep for compatibility: should not be propagated to default-server.
James Brown reported that agent-check mistakenly sends the proxy
protocol header when it's configured. This is obviously wrong as
the agent is an independant servie and not a traffic port, let's
disable this.
This fix must be backported to 1.7 and possibly 1.6.
Fix linker flags settings since 3rd parties libraries are not in
/usr/lib
Plus libfuzzy needs to be added.
undef LIST_HEAD from event2 which conflicts with haproxy's
This patch adds a new stats socket command to modify server
FQDNs at run time.
Its syntax:
set server <backend>/<server> fqdn <FQDN>
This patch also adds FQDNs to server state file at the end
of each line for backward compatibility ("-" if not present).
Sometimes it's convenient to be able to execute a command directly on
the stream, whether we're connecting or accepting an incoming connection.
New command 'X' makes this possible. It simply calls execvp() on the
next arguments and branches stdin/stdout/stderr on the socket. Optionally
it's possible to limit the passed FDs to any combination of them by
appending 'i', 'o', 'e' after the X. In any case the program ends just
after executing this command.
Examples :
- chargen server
tcploop 8001 L A Xo cat /dev/zero
- telnet server
tcploop 8001 L W N A X /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
This patch replaces the calls to TLSvX_X_client/server/_method
by the new TLS_client/server_method and it uses the new functions
SSL_set_min_proto_version and SSL_set_max_proto_version, setting them
at the wanted protocol version using 'force-' statements.
The sample fetch returns all headers including the last jump line.
The last jump line is used to determine if the block of headers is
truncated or not.
These encoding functions does general stuff and can be used in
other context than spoe. This patch moves the function spoe_encode_varint
and spoe_decode_varint from spoe to common. It also remove the prefix spoe.
These functions will be used for encoding values in new binary sample fetch.
When we include the header proto/spoe.h in other files in the same
project, the compilator claim that the symbol have multiple definitions:
src/flt_spoe.o: In function `spoe_encode_varint':
~/git/haproxy/include/proto/spoe.h:45: multiple definition of `spoe_encode_varint'
src/proto_http.o:~/git/haproxy/include/proto/spoe.h:45: first defined here
in chash_get_server_hash, we find the nearest server entries both
before and after the request hash. If the next and prev entries both
point to the same server, the function would exit early and return that
server, to save work.
Before hash-balance-factor this was a valid optimization -- one of nsrv
and psrv would definitely be chosen, so if they are the same there's no
need to choose between them. But with hash-balance-factor it's possible
that adding another request to that server would overload it
(chash_server_is_eligible returns false) and we go further around the
ring. So it's not valid to return before checking for that.
This commit simply removes the early return, as it provides a minimal
savings even when it's correct.
