MINOR: ssl: always initialize random generator
Explicitly call ssl_initialize_random to initialize the random generator
in init() global function. If the initialization fails, the startup is
interrupted.
This commit is in preparation for support of ssl on dynamic servers. To
be able to activate ssl on dynamic servers, it is necessary to ensure
that the random generator is initialized on startup regardless of the
config. It cannot be called at runtime as access to /dev/urandom is
required.
This also has the effect to fix the previous non-consistent behavior.
Indeed, if bind or server in the config are using ssl, the
initialization function was called, and if it failed, the startup was
interrupted. Otherwise, the ssl initialization code could have been
called through the ssl server for lua, but this times without blocking
the startup on error. Or not called at all if lua was deactivated.
RFC 7231#5.3.4 makes a difference between a completely missing
'accept-encoding' header and an 'accept-encoding' header without any values.
This case was already correctly handled by accident, because an empty accept
encoding does not match any known encoding. However this resulted in the
'other' encoding being added to the bitmap. Usually this also succeeds in
serving cached responses, because the cached response likely has no
'content-encoding', thus matching the identity case instead of not serving the
response, due to the 'other' encoding. But it's technically not 100% correct.
Fix this by special-casing 'accept-encoding' values with a length of zero and
extend the test to check that an empty accept-encoding is correctly handled.
Due to the reasons given above the test also passes without the change in
cache.c.
Vary support was added in HAProxy 2.4. This fix should be backported to 2.4+.
BUG/MINOR: server/cli: Fix locking in function processing "set server" command

BUG/MINOR: backend: do not set sni on connection reuse
When reusing a backend connection, do not reapply the SNI on the
connection. It should already be defined when the connection was
instantiated on a previous connect_server invocation. As the SNI is a
parameter used to select a connection, only connection with same value
can be reused.
The impact of this bug is unknown and may be null. No memory leak has
been reported by valgrind. So this is more a cleaning fix.

following fix :
BUG/MINOR: backend: restore the SF_SRV_REUSED flag original purpose
Amaury Denoyelle [Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:14:49 +0000 (15:14 +0200)]
BUG/MINOR: backend: restore the SF_SRV_REUSED flag original purpose
The SF_SRV_REUSED flag was set if a stream reused a backend connection.
One of its purpose is to count the total reuse on the backend in
opposition to newly instantiated connection.
However, the flag was diverted from its original purpose since the
following commit :
With this change, the flag is not set anymore if the mux is not ready
when a connection is picked for reuse. This can happen for multiplexed
connections which are inserted in the available list as soon as created
in http-reuse always mode. The goal of this change is to not retry
immediately this request in case on an error on the same server if the
reused connection is not fully ready.
This change is justified for the retry timeout handling but it breaks
other places which still uses the flag for its original purpose. Mainly,
in this case the wrong 'connect' backend counter is incremented instead
of the 'reuse' one. The flag is also used in http_return_srv_error and
may have an impact if a http server error is replied for this stream.
To fix this problem, the original purpose of the flag is restored by
setting it unconditionaly when a connection is reused. Additionally, a
new flag SF_SRV_REUSED_ANTICIPATED is created. This flag is set when the
connection is reused but the mux is not ready yet. For the timeout
handling on error, the request is retried immediately only if the stream
reused a connection without this newly anticipated flag.
BUG/MEDIUM: resolvers: Add a task on servers to check SRV resolution status
When a server relies on a SRV resolution, a task is created to clean it up
(fqdn/port and address) when the SRV resolution is considered as outdated
(based on the resolvers 'timeout' value). It is only possible if the server
inherits outdated info from a state file and is no longer selected to be
attached to a SRV item. Note that most of time, a server is attached to a
SRV item. Thus when the item becomes obsolete, the server is cleaned
up.
It is important to have such task to be sure the server will be free again
to have a chance to be resolved again with fresh information. Of course,
this patch is a workaround to solve a design issue. But there is no other
obvious way to fix it without rewritting all the resolvers part. And it must
be backportable.
This patch relies on following commits:
* MINOR: resolvers: Clean server in a dedicated function when removing a SRV item
* MINOR: resolvers: Remove server from named_servers tree when removing a SRV item
All the series must be backported as far as 2.2 after some observation
period. Backports to 2.0 and 1.8 must be evaluated.
MINOR: resolvers: Remove server from named_servers tree when removing a SRV item
When a server is cleaned up because the corresponding SRV item is removed,
we always remove the server from the srvrq's name_servers tree. For now, it
is useless because, if a server was attached to a SRV item, it means it was
already removed from the tree. But it will be mandatory to fix a bug.
MINOR: resolvers: Clean server in a dedicated function when removing a SRV item
A dedicated function is now used to clean up servers when a SRV item becomes
obsolete or when a requester is removed from a resolution. This patch is
mandatory to fix a bug.
BUG/MEDIUM: server/cli: Fix ABBA deadlock when fqdn is set from the CLI
To perform servers resolution, the resolver's lock is first acquired then
the server's lock when necessary. However, when the fqdn is set via the CLI,
the opposite is performed. So, it is possible to experience an ABBA
deadlock.
To fix this bug, the server's lock is acquired and released for each
subcommand of "set server" with an exception when the fqdn is set. The
resolver's lock is first acquired. Of course, this means we must be sure to
have a resolver to lock.
BUG/MINOR: server: Forbid to set fqdn on the CLI if SRV resolution is enabled
If a server is configured to rely on a SRV resolution, we must forbid to
change its fqdn on the CLI. Indeed, in this case, the server retrieves its
fqdn from the SRV resolution. If the fqdn is changed via the CLI, this
conflicts with the SRV resolution and leaves the server in an undefined
state. Most of time, the SRV resolution remains enabled with no effect on
the server (no update). Some time the A/AAAA resolution for the new fqdn is
not enabled at all. It depends on the server state and resolver state when
the CLI command is executed.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0 (maybe to 1.8 too ?) after some
observation period.

- source and/or destination depending on what is set
