There's currently a problem affecting thread groups. Stopping a listener from a different group than the one that runs this listener will trigger the BUG_ON() in fd_delete(). This typically happens by issuing "disable frontend f" on the CLI for the following config since the CLI runs on group 1: global nbthread 2 thread-groups 2 stats socket /tmp/sock1 level admin frontend f mode http bind abns@frt-sock thread 2 This happens because abns sockets cannot be suspended so here this requires a full stop. A first approach would consist in isolating the caller during such rare operations but it turns out that fd_delete() is not robust against even such calling conditions, because it uses its own thread mask with an FD that may be in a different group, and even though the threads would be isolated and running_mask should be zero, we must not mix thread masks from different groups like this. A better solution consists in replacing the bug condition detection with a self-protection. After all it's not trivial to figure all likely call places, and forcing upper layers to protect the code is not clean if we can do it at the bottom. Thus this is what is being done now. We detect a thread group mismatch, and if so, we forcefully isolate ourselves and entirely clean the socket. This has the merit of being much more robust and easier to use (and harder to misuse). Given that such operations are very rare (actually when they happen a crash follows), it's not a problem to waste some time isolating the caller there. This must be backported to 2.7, along with this previous patch: BUG/MINOR: fd: used the update list from the fd's group instead of tgid |

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
