BUG/MEDIUM: quic: handle retransmit for standalone FIN STREAM
STREAM frames have dedicated handling on retransmission. A special check
is done to remove data already acked in case of duplicated frames, thus
only unacked data are retransmitted.
This handling is faulty in case of an empty STREAM frame with FIN set.
On retransmission, this frame does not cover any unacked range as it is
empty and is thus discarded. This may cause the transfer to freeze with
the client waiting indefinitely for the FIN notification.
To handle retransmission of empty FIN STREAM frame, qc_stream_desc layer
have been extended. A new flag QC_SD_FL_WAIT_FOR_FIN is set by MUX QUIC
when FIN has been transmitted. If set, it prevents qc_stream_desc to be
freed until FIN is acknowledged. On retransmission side,
qc_stream_frm_is_acked() has been updated. It now reports false if
FIN bit is set on the frame and qc_stream_desc has QC_SD_FL_WAIT_FOR_FIN
set.
This must be backported up to 2.6. However, this modifies heavily
critical section for ACK handling and retransmission. As such, it must
be backported only after a period of observation.
This issue can be reproduced by using the following socat command as
server to add delay between the response and connection closure :
$ socat TCP-LISTEN:<port>,fork,reuseaddr,crlf SYSTEM:'echo "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"; echo ""; sleep 1;'
On the client side, ngtcp2 can be used to simulate packet drop. Without
this patch, connection will be interrupted on QUIC idle timeout or
haproxy client timeout with ERR_DRAINING on ngtcp2 :
$ ngtcp2-client --exit-on-all-streams-close -r 0.3 <host> <port> "http://<host>:<port>/?s=32o"
Alternatively to ngtcp2 random loss, an extra haproxy patch can also be
used to force skipping the emission of the empty STREAM frame :
