nb_hreq is a counter on qcc for active HTTP requests. It is incremented
for each qcs where a full HTTP request was received. It is decremented
when the stream is closed locally :
- on HTTP response fully transmitted
- on stream reset
A bug will occur if a stream is resetted without having processed a full
HTTP request. nb_hreq will be decremented whereas it was not
incremented. This will lead to a crash when building with
DEBUG_STRICT=2. If BUG_ON_HOT are not active, nb_hreq counter will wrap
which may break the timeout logic for the connection.
This bug was triggered on haproxy.org. It can be reproduced by
simulating the reception of a STOP_SENDING frame instead of a STREAM one
by patching qc_handle_strm_frm() :
To fix this bug, a qcs is now flagged with a new QC_SF_HREQ_RECV. This
is set when the full HTTP request is received. When the stream is closed
locally, nb_hreq will be decremented only if this flag was set.
